Too much horsepower? There is never enough, unless you could completely melt a brand new set of Nitto 555's in a 2 min burnout, and I wouldn't consider that too much, more like just about right.

 

I'm currently at about the 650 RWHP level and I think it's just about right for me. Mashing the gas at anything below 70 MPH makes the F1's cry Uncle followed by the immediate need for precise steering correction until they finally hook up. I still love all the power, especially at the track with the 30 inch Hoosiers hooking up during a launch, the acceleration outta the hole is a rush !!!!

 

If you pass out when stomping the gas peddle from the G-forces forcing the blood from your head, it “might” be a little to much horsepower…

 

Nope. Not yet. It's just time to buy a g-suit.

 

A highly modified Lightning owner…

 

Absolutely ! When you don't want to drive it and you just brag about how much $$$ and how much horsepower you can register on the dyno.

The Lightning is very attractive because it gives you alot for the $$$... The new Mustang is similar.

I really don't like the SRT Pickup becaue it sits too hight, cost too much and is a poor bargain.

The Lightning is within reach for almost everybody and goes like hell without spending a fortune and is very streetable.

If your are going to race then max it out but certainly you don't have to to have a real nice ride.
