What is enough power?

[Oyabun]

nteresting opinions - most easy to relate to ....

my old r33 with 300 + rwkw's was very easily streetable with gentle yet strong twin plate clutch .. drve to city, next to cops, to and from work, etc ... yet power was 200+ from around 3,500 up to 9,000rpm .. and the car had reasonable milage unless driven quite hard ...

endless is easy to live with but idle is very lumpy and car is so loud .. power comes on strong from 5,000 ... basically 100kw @ 5000, then 250 @ 5,500 ... bascially easy to drive off boost ... but you really gotta rev to get some serious power from it ...

locked diffs are kinda hard to cruise with pace when a little wet on tight corners in series

Well if the owner is driving it... i wouldnt be too worried.

The times it has run at the strip the owner has not been driving it.

I was chatting to him at calder a month back, great guy actually, and it was his first time racing it himself.

He ran a 13's and some 12's if my memory serves me correctly.

Hopefully he comes on some cruises i told him too and stuff

I have heard of OBEHAVE but have not yet seen it.

As I said previously, racing should be kept on the strip or circuit as there are less unpredictable factors there.

Street racing doesn't interest me anymore like it used to as I have learnt the lesson of my licence being worth too much to my everyday survival as I rely on my car for social and business purposes.

If OBEHAVE is as fast, then I would love to meet the owner and compare times on the strip where all variables are as equal as possible.
