Me too 1LOW. I had a buddy that was obsessed with having the fastest car on the street and he drove himself crazy and spent crazy money always trying to be better than the next guy. Problem is, there's always gonna be someone faster, so what's the point I figure. I'm happy where I'm at I'd say.

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.

Is it having the hp "number" that's best or the thrill of driving the car with that kind of hp?
For me it's the thrill, not the number. You know...that feeling as you're set back in your seat, your stomach flip flops (in a good way), you giggle and you can't get the grin off your face.

I'm the kinda of guy that is always after the perfect running car, never been after big hp numbers, the hp is just a bonus, but if my GT is running minty mint, then i am quite satisfied just with that.
