How Much HP is Enough for your DSM?!

[Royalty]

For a street legal car, specifically the car that you are driving now. When will the mods stop and you'll be done?

I'm shooting for the 300-400 range

300ish WHP- specifically 112+ traps - which is why I said ISH- it may need to be 375whp - but it's in the 300's I'm betting

my DSM is my driver- I want to keep up with anything that is stock- meaning the three cars to shoot for being able to stay beside on a highway run is Z06, 03 Cobra and Viper (though I'm okay if the viper still wins )

LS1's trap 102-108
4.6 DOHC trap 100-105
Cobra's trap 110-115
Z06 108-115

So if I can run over 112 traps consistantly, then I'll be a happy enough guy. Someone picks on me in a car with over 110 traps- I have the Dart they can lose to

As DSMs are better known as V8 killers, I'd be happy beating lightly modded ones. I'm not talking about beating Lingenfelter Corvettes or anything, just the host of popular V8s (even though I'm there already for the most part).

yea, i'm aready beating most V8's around my way. BUT!!!! there's always that ONE real ugly beast who dropped in a centrifugal supercharger and is willing to wear out his 4.6 just to have 400 to the wheels for cheap. THEN, my 360ish horsepower Eclipse that i've paid (2500 for including mods) will eat him up like candy.... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU DEVELISH BASTARD. I WILL CATCH YOU SOON AND HUMILIATE YOU WITH MY LITTLE IMPORT WITH FLAKEY PAINTJOB!!!!! HAHAHAHEHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

...i want around 360 or so for a somewhat reliable vehicle.

When I have enough power to spin all four tires in third gear that will be enough

OUCH! im looking for 350whp after college when i can rebuild, turbo, and run my juice.
