What kind of hp are you happy with lets say at the engine. When I had the 05gt I was more than happy with the power it spit out and with the latest one I have really never gotten on it to see what the difference is.

 

I think hp is what you get use to... I would like to upgrade the Shelby's power dunno what it has now but I would love more!
Now my V-Max is rated at around 200hp I don't need any more power with that bike, it truly is scary powerful.
I can't believe you haven't had a good run in your Shelby Snakebite, My god the car is a whole other beast in go to jail speeds! You need to find a track or a closed road and let her breath!

 

I would take as much horsepower as I can get. The 300hp of the 4.6L 3V is plenty but I'd take more, like the new 5.0. My ultimate car would be a Super Snake with the Kenne Bell upgrade to bring it up to almost 1000hp, not cause I would use the power, but just to say I have it.

 

On the street a couple hundred or so in an old Fox is more than enough to get this irresponsible old fart in trouble.
At the track all I need is enough to beat the car beside me.

 

^^^^ Well said!

300 HP is good fun. 1000 HP does bring AWESOME bragging rights though!

 

Give me a day or 2 and I let you guys know!; otherwise just enough for your instincts to tell you to let off (600+).

 

For me, it depends on how you get your hp. I'm old school and like to take an original n/a engine as far as it will safely go. I'm currently about 365 and think I can get about another 30 to 50 hp out of it. That's way more than I need to get into trouble.

 

enough to scare the living sh*t out of me. And once it no longer does, it means more money to get that rush again.

 

That's a tough one. When I had my first Mustang (2000 GT) I was extremely happy with 260 hp. Then I just started adding parts and it went from there. With over 500 on my GT500 I find myself still wanting more. My 04 Cobra was modded (pully/cai/tune/full exhaust) and it also had a 75 shot of nitrous. That car on drag radials pulled hard and I never felt the need to use the nitrous so maybe that was enough. I think it put down 440 ish at the wheels no nitrous. If I was keeping my car I would pully it and port the supercharger and I'd probably be happy there.

 

Never thought about it. I guess i should maybe d'oh!!
