I have had a short wheelbase car with over 1000hp--you could read both sides of the car from anywhere hehind it under acceleration--when it had traction (15x15x33 slicks) if you let up to straighten it out and then jumped back into it , the front wheels would come up so it had better be pointed in the direction you wanted to go.
The biggest problem with a high horsepower engine is not at idle or wide open throttle , but intermediate throttle operation-------you have to drive like your milking a mouse while your holding the unpinned lever of a hand grenade down with one foot and the other foot is on the MIDSECTION of a rattlesnake--
350-450 horsepower is plenty for the street, but make it LOUD so you can drown out the ricer boomboxes
