Thats really what the question should be though isn't it...

Is it a drag car or a street car?

cos over ~300HP on a street car is just stupid IMO. Its unnecessary and dangerous.
Yea, I hope 300hp+ isn't stupid.. Cause I plan on having a little more than 300hp in my FD, and it will be streetable. Now, in a 1st gen., that'd be pretty cool.

300hp in a light wieght FB car.That would stomp at the track.Who would suspect the little first gen?When I get there I'll be posting times.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png And I WILL get there.Not this year but over next winter I'll hope to get there.We'll see what my bank account holds when the time comes.Hopefully a TO4 finds its way into my engine bay next winter.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Might be stuck paying off the paint on it if I get the CP racing widebody.Still deciding between that and the Erebuni Kit like Viperx7 has on his. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png My car should be https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif by fall.After I get wheels and stuff for it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

i want to get that wide body kit also and paint it black then get 16 or 17 by 10 white rims for it i want the engine to have at least 350 rwhp though and still be streetable

Thats similar to what I'll run.Still debating on the CP widebody or just get the mazdatrix/erebuni kit.My project car already has SE brakes on it.If I don't go widebody I know where I can get some nice 17's at a good cost.

Check Page 4 of the FB picture thread.I posted Viperx7's pics in it.He has the Mazdatrix/Erebuni kit on his car.Looks killer.Thats why it makes for such a tough call.The CP kit is nice on the black car they just added to the picture page.Yet Viper's looks good too.The erebuni site needs a good pic of thier kit on it.Thier pics do that kit no justice.The ones posted of vipers car does the kit good tho.

BTW I was referring to over ~300HP in an FB. Don't get me wrong, I love lots of HP, I just think that in a FB, anything in the 500HP range for street is crazy. Track, drags, different story. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

My mistake. Yea, 500hp in an FB would be nuts trying to control on the streets... how much does a FB weigh anyways?

I like that black one. So, in that case.. go with the CP kit.

Viper, F50, Z06 Corvette, Murcielago, Esprit, Carrera4, Lightning, and a few others.

All 350+HP. All street vehicles. None stupid.


Ignorance is starting to show a little bit. Just look at the list you just made. Why would you even list a truck? As for the others. How many of them do you see on the road? most of them weigh more then my house. I had a rx7 that broke the 300hp mark. Flipped it 2 and a half times. I can honestly say if it is just for the street then it is way too much power. If it is for the track then by all means go for it!
