Dugly, you also need to add the safety issue to your excellent post. These cars can come around in a heart beat. The more torque, the more opportunities for losing control. Your experience and comfort level should guide you. My daytona coupe had a 430hp 392w that was scarey fast. My Kirkham will have the 427w version of that engine with 540hp. Torque ratings are proportionately higher. I've driven performance vehicles all my life, but still maintain a very healthy respect and while hp sounds impressive, it's the torque which will kill you.
