lets see 400whp street car, NO SUCH THING, when you got 400+hp its gonna be a pain to drive the car
1. clutch
2. clutch wear
3. fuel
4. noise
5. Traction
6. cops suck
7. 4cyl. with 400 try an get 1000 miles out of that engine

 

There are a couple members here who have gotten 1,000 miles out of their 400+whp cars. Of course they have their fuel setup properly and were tuned.

 

Hit up Mike at MotorMatrix.com, his street car is 559whp@22psi.

I dont mean, 400whp daily... boost controllers (edit: like the actual item, not the person) haha.
You know hit the high boost on interstate, just for a little fun.

 

It would be nutz 200whp is pretty fast in a lightish car.

 

1) its not as rare as you think

2) built right, its a lot more reliable than you think

3) many times

what tires do you run on street?

You know in Star Wars when they go to hyperspace and the stars all turn into streaks? Yeah, it's kinda like that the first week or so. Everything just goes to a blur and you might have problems keeping your car between the lines... on a perfectly straight road... in broad daylight... with no other traffic around! After a week or so, you'll get used to it, but it's still a big rush. You'll feel unbeatable on the freeway. But you'll feel like a sitting duck against any minivan sitting next to you at a stoplight unless you have drag radials

 

even with the drag radials its just waste spin 1st only hook about top of second 2nd it kinda sucks making too much pwr on a fwd car. its just waste. i think it would be better for well balanced car than all out hp

wow, i cant wait..

 

a buddy of mine with a GSR motor that i build has 536 WHP AT 22psi of boost and he drives that car every day. Its the red 96 hatch from GROUND ZERO MOTORSPORTS. that car is scary as hell on the streets lights up 4th lucky he has LSD. hehe. The only thing you have to get use to is his clutch its a pain in the ***. but he got it down.

My car is already well balanced. I just want it even more well balanced!

 

Whoa! 536whp is crazy... what kind of turbo is he running?

edit: oh nevermind..

i know motor-matrix runs a sc63

 

I kinda wonder why no one can get traction. I know my set up is different but @ 240 torque to the ground w/ a gsr tranny and 205/50/15 bfg's I have no traction problems at all. 1st gear roll on it just hooks. 2nd gear I can only dream of breaking them loose. if torque is what spins the tires I would think you guys making the same torque would have the same traction.

maybe I should ask, how many of u 400whp guys are having problems w/ traction on BFG drag radials?

 

i think 400hp would be around 330 ft lb of torque i guess with even bfg they will probably spin first at least after that i am pretty sure it will grab

 

I just got home from the beach, and i drive mine, no biggy... doesnt mean i beat on the car tho. Reason being is the car is no fun till about 90mph, when the smoke clears, and the tires quit spinning. Just be gentle, leave the beat downs for he track

yup very true the track helps with the nice drag radials and tons of the vht spread all over

 

I made 230whp the last time I dynoed and riding in my car compared to my friends FWD eclipse is day and night....he makes about 350-360whp. even on the 18's he had last year it still spun well into 3rd gear if he wasn't careful. honestly he had 555R's on his stock wheels and just some decent radials on his 18's and at the track there really wasn't any difference in times.

Falken Azenis. 205/50-15

 

400whp on a b-series 81mm is very common these days. And if it's built right it will last a pretty decent amt of time. c16 tends to be pretty expensive so i lower the boost to 1 bar and run on 94 octane.

Overbored b-series motors can easily get 400whp.

300whp is plenty for the street esp. with a t4 turbo.
