450 Fwhp?

[Sprockett]

I was looking at this:

I am planning to get an MP3 within the next year, and am trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Now, I don't plan to do THIS, but I was shooting for about 250-280hp. I was just wondering, what the hell does 450 hp feel like in a FWD car? It just seems to me that it wouldn't be very stable...I don't know. I think 260 should be a good goal for me.

It would pull you everywhere.

My old Drag Civic was putting down 380whp

you better be built like arnold to hold the steering wheel in place

What? Did someone ask about torque steer?

 

[Sprockett]

Well, I don't plan to do this - or anything on this scale to the MP3 I am going to get. Maybe I'll just add a few performance and appearance mods and a couple AV things, but I am not going all out on this car - I'll wait until I get into my career and buy a Supra or another FD. I was simply wondering HOW this could be a good thing?

no but he was wondering about how stable it was and kooldino mentioned how it would pull

With 450 or 260whp, I'd get and LSD (quaife). Then, I'd get my fenders rolled so I could put some nice size tires on the car. What's the use for all that power if you can't put it to the ground?

BWT, where did you come up with 260whp as a target? Just wondering...Seems like a lofty goal considering it hasn't been done yet (correct me if I'm wrong).

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

two words..hold on

 

[toucci]

it would have tons of torque steer and little traction

for the street or track I wouldnt want to go over around 230 horses on a FF car

Hi boost dynoed their base kit(F10 Haltech) on a pro5 with stock internals at 260 WHP (14 p.s.i. / 100octane)

 

[RAAZ227]

450hp is not that Streetable. Most full race drag cars a 400hp and up!

 

[Kooldino]

Perf's car was a good 400hp or so. And it was streetable.

 

[deckedoutmp5]

im at 270ish and with no lsd, it sucks big balls. you dont drive the car... the car drives you.

but yes i will be at 400 whp soon with my new setup. (selling my jeep to do it ASAP) MWAAH AH AHA HA HA HA

but yeah stage 4 clutch, 7 lbs fly wheel, suicide clutch it WILL NOT be a nice daily driver, but ill love it.
