But people on social media are writing that the sub-700hp car are slow and weak

Why?

Nothing is ever good enough, always have to one up everything for the cOnTeNT

Look at the youtubers who start doing well then go buy/build a JAY DEE EMM SOOOPRAA WITH 15 GORILLION HORSEPOWER

then every video is just them breaking the thing and seething that it never runs right

And to think that once upon a time 478hp was enough to call a car a supercar.

>>28975328
Bunch of zoomers who drive a 180 hp honda whining about nothing
Put them in a malaise corvette and they'd kill themselves in the first corner

I took a performance driving course and had the opportunity to drive both an ecoboost mustang and a mustang GT. The ecoboost required almost no thought, you were practically WOT on the exit of any corner, since it was very hard to break traction with only 300hp. The GT required more thought and throttle modulation, very easy to spin the tires on corner exit.

IMO, 500 hp is about the most you’d want out of a street performance car.
> enough power to dust mom in her explorer ST or bubba in his Ram comfortably
> can keep pace with most EVs
> faster than pretty much everything else on the road

anything beyond 500hp gets to “useless unless going to a track” territory

Absolute super hyper mega turbo yuropoor cope.

This is why I have two kei cars and am getting a third.

>Why yes officer, I was going flat out banging gears and corning at the limit of grip. Go ahead, read the speed on your radar, try and write a ticket, I dare you.

The true final form isn't buying a faster car to win, it's buying a slower car and still winning. Turbo kei cars are actually really fun off the line, too, they're so light you blast off like a rocket to about 45 mph.

who said you're supposed to? the voices in your head? If that's what you're supposed to do then I didn't get the message apparently.

>>28975319
This is a dumb argument. If I drive my slow cars fast I'm still doing illegal speeds in the turns. I'd rather have the power for the more realistic real world situations that do need power.

>>28975328
Because there are 2000+hp cars out there and a sub 700hp car is slow compared to them. Especially when that 700hp car weighs 5000lbs.

>>28975319
Eventually you realize you want a dual sport as the ultimate amalgamation of horsepower, utility, and accessible fun. There's basically no limit to what you can do with a dual sport or plated, hell no plate, dirt bike in terms of driving enjoyment.

>I don't want to die
You were never going to push a tin can to the limit either.
>Top speed
Irrelevant. 45 mph through your Walmart's loading dock dodging pallets is better than going 150mph in a straight line. I've done both.

>>28975328
bigger number more better

nothing like doing 115mph(top speed) in a 120hp 80s jap econobox. feels like you're going 300mph.

>500 hp is about the most you’d want out of a street performance car
That's only because every nucar is a pig fat bunker on wheels. Otherwise you'd be absolutely fine with "just" 300 HP.

I had a mighty need for a Suzuki Cappucino, especially after I found out nips transplant AE86 pop ups into them with no trouble, but then I saw their prices. No way am I paying so much for a car like that.

>>28975319
My race car makes 476rwhp and dead hooks 1st gear.
345/30R18 200tw tires and a decoupled torque arm will do that.
It's hella fun blasting past new cars.

Unless they have AWD and more power, they can't catch me.

I drove a 800 horsepower 468 cubic inch C6 Z06 at laguna before.
Fuck it was fast.
Fat Non DOT Slicks.
Fast enough to make be question if I really wanted to give it 100% throttle.

Obsessed.

A little scooter feels insanely fast at slow speeds yeah but people who have never been in a car with over 300 hp have no idea what they are missing, the acceleration feels incredible even if doing it just for a second. I think for the majority of people they imagine a super car to be somewhat similar in feel to a 270 hp V6 Camry. Most normies just get easily jealous too.

>>28975366
Somewhere between 300 and 400 hp the power is too much for the tyres. People think they feel 400 hp but the traction control or even the grip reduces the power to the road almost all the time. Around that point more power isn't giving you much benefit.

>people who have never been in a car with over 300 hp have no idea what they are missing, the acceleration feels incredible even if doing it just for a second.
anyone with a model s plaid says that it will get kinda old after a year or two. then it's just normal and the rest is boring

Going 120 in a 1 ton honda is better than going 140 in a charger
I know in the honda if i crash thats it
The charger felt like a metal box

>>28975333
now that you said it, finnegan and blasphemy made records first time he ran it. it only went downhill from that.

>>28975333
Cartube died for me when litebrite got tattoos. Ruined her onlyfans content too.

The car I'm building will have 361hp at the crank, according to the dyno provided by the engine builder, and I am confident that's about the perfect amount of power for the weight of the car and driving I'll be doing to live in the sweet spot of ultimate satisfaction.

To be honest they're doing those people a service by hiding that shithole of a site
