The price is largely irrelevant. You are talking about throwing $7k in mods into the brz. What i said has nothing to do with price.

I can tell you from first hand experience that power level has nothing to do with daily driving. A 500whp car will drive just like a 1000whp car if it's FI. There is no such thing as too much power for a daily unless you have a stump for a foot or you have to start sacrificing too much drivability for reliability.



Price is irrelevant?

Never enough power for daily driving?



This is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard.

Price is ALWAYS relevant. Why compare a car that originally cost over double that of a toyobaru?

Too much power can mess with the balance of the car. And too much power isn't practical or necessary for daily driving.

Do I have to be cliche and say, with great power comes great responsibility. What's the sense of having all the power in the world in your car if you run the extreme risk of losing your license?

I've never understood why it's ok to bash stop light to stop light racers and fast straight line street cars and condone doubling posted speed limits around curves you can't see the other side of in the same breath. I'm comfortable doing 180mph on the interstate and i"ll drive aggressively through switchbacks but i don't go around boy racer style like my city is a grand prix track. That seems to be asking for trouble.


lol what
Who's condoning taking blind turns over the speed limit?
Where was I bashing red light racers in that post?

I can only hope your posting from the bar...

It's like owning a 1000cc sport bike... it only goes as fast as you make it... that's where the stump foot comment came from. You have to have really shitty throttle control to have a problem. You are talking to someone that drives a 420whp 3400lb car every day. You might have convinced yourself otherwise but i'm speaking from experience. Power effects balance under throttle but that can be tuned out with suspension. You act like 350whp in a brz is a top fuel car... it's probably a high 11 sec low 12 sec car which is perfect for a street car in a lot of people's eyes.

Do you think more power=drive faster at all times? I drive my truck faster than my car most of the time.

It wasn't really aimed at you directly. I had it worded better and fat fingered the new topic button so i had to retype it.
