My engine is 425hp, and it puts about 310 to the wheels. That may not sound like much, but there isn't much that's pulled away from me on the street either. I can mash the throttle to the floor, and my car just goes, no wheel spin. I can go full throttle through a tight turn, and the car just hooks, it doesn't overpower the rear. It's just really nice to drive at this level.
