Opinions: Perfect Power For Street?

[LOOF]

agreed with morgs

But my theory?

200rwkw in a well sorted street car is plenty.

I agree with these 2 guys. What about, instead of spending big money on making it go fast, just spend money on making it look good and have a good sound system?

200kw pfft. 315kw, cause sometimes it does take a sledgehammer to crack a nut..or a loser.

ive got 168rwkws at 4400rpm ,268 rwkws at 4600rpm ,300 rwkws at 5200rpm and 346 rwkws at 6900rpm and i dont have to rev it right out to get good acceleration. if it rains turn down boost and keep her under 4k.

you jump 100rwkw in 200 rpm.... must be one hell of a time in the wet, even with the boost turned down, it still obviously comes on late and very hard... but then you get that with a GT3040....

I have wondered this question myself after explaining to my poor wife that 'i just need another...'

If ever I actually get to a point where 'Thats enuff" then i guess i'd get bored and build my own car from scratch. But thats just me!

Any other idea's?

After being in many setups, RB25 with around 240-250rwkw GCG hi-flow, that impressed me the most for the street in a RWD car

Far more than my GT30/270rwkw on PULP.

I had power after around 4000rpm, but the hi-flow just had power everywhere and that makes a fast streeter with good tyres/suspension etc

i want my v8 with around 250 - 270 or so when im done with it, its crap enough in the wet now with traction issues ... stupid torque, u dont need it

I have an RB20 with 240rwkw and it is useless on the street. much better if I turn the boost down and have 200rwkw, otherwise it just spins the wheels.

ad as someone else pointed out I am already doing 100 by the time i change into third. it is fun winding it out in 2nd tho

[eMsta]

with 240rwkw - shouldnt one get driver training? only reason i ask is because i plan to get mine to around that power - but i heard its not easy to control the car.

I think perfect street car is where you dont have to do anything (ie turn down boost) and can jump in it and go drive somewhere in almost any conditions and feel safe. ATM in my car I can give it full stick in the wet in 2nd with no wheel spin, and brake with resonable ease. And I dont have to wind down the boost. The power level would obviously be different in different cars. Do suspension mods instead. Do an exaust so it sounds fast. And get a nice quality stereo, think about how many hours you spend driving.

But thats my oppinion.

[BAMR33]

my aim 260rwkW, heaps enough for street.

[Mr. Keets]

".... if it rains turn down boost and keep her under 4k."

Thats the plan! Personaly I dont even bother turning it down I just stick to the sub 4000 rpm rule....wheel spin is controlled through the modulation of the right foot. Eventually I want to have around 430Kw at the wheels. Why? Because I want to be engaged in driving my weekend car..the driving is the adventure, during the week its a 91 Pulsar no mods.
