  • Most rwhp for daily before PITA sets in?

    What's the most rwhp in your opinion before it gets to be too much of a pita to deal with?

    My 03 cobra was a daily 620rwhp no problems drove like stock. Driven 750 h.p supersnake drove just fine

    But ive had 500 h.p 2v that werent worth a shit to daily drive.

    Just depends.

      Way too many variables to go by whp.

      A stock 600 rwhp '13 GT500 would be fine to daily. A fwd import...not so much.

            X2. I think different models of cars vary different results as far as daily driving just fine with tons of power

              I'm pretty sure those 1,100 TT Lambo's and GT's are pretty streetable. It's all about the platform, and how it's built.

              I saw this in another thread: Fast, cheap, reliable. You can only have two out of the three.

                  How much do you want to spend? It always boils down to that.

                    All depends on the car, how it was built and who built it.
                    Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

                        I drove my '03 cobra daily for a little while with 520/560. No problems other than boring miles killing my fun. High boost was taxing on the motor for sure. It smoked on startup when I sold it.

                          There is no magic number. The problems come in when you hugely exceed the cars original capabilities. Like if you have a 96 GT and build a 600 hp motor for it, chances are you're going to have problems. However if you took a new 5.0 and pushed it to 600 I'm sure the drivability would be mostly comparable to stock.

                            I personally like around 400 for a daily. I can stick some not so expensive tires on there and have them last a while. Not to mention traction issues with wet weather and a rear wheel drive car.

                            Not saying it can't be done but that is the PITA factor for me. Not to mention the gas used with an application with that.

                              What platform are you working with? A new ZR1 with a pulley/headers/tune can make over 700rwhp and you'd never know it wasn't stock as far as daily driving is concerned.
