What's 450 - 500 RWHP to you?

[Forbidden Snake]

I know a lot of us are BPU guys (basic performance upgraded guys) making anywhere from 450 - 500 RWHP SAE.

Was just curious what your definition of this range of HP is.

I used to think this car was FAST, but now it's just "decent".

450-500 in a 3100 pound car is fast.

lol I have a 330 rwhp 97 Cobra, to me, its pretty high

Every time a buddy tells me "this car is freakin' quick", I just smile and ask "you wanna go for a ride in my fast mustang?" And out comes the LX.:-D

450-500 rwhp in a daily driver is plenty. 858 rwhp is monstrous!:rockon:

lol who ever put monster obviously has never seen juiced46's or blwn03's when he had the procharger kit on it. 600+rwhp is monster

 

[Juiced46]

I have a problem with getting used to my power levels to quickly. @ over 600hp it still "feels" decent to me. But the car is fuggin fast when you look down at the speedo. Now if i was in a lighter car with 600 hp then it would be FAST

For a streetcar, I'll definately say high. Monster would be 650+, now this is on a streetcar, not a stripped, beefed up track queen racer mind you.

Was that a shot at me?

LOL... there must have been a few ricers surfing by...

So far everybody whom I've taken for a ride, including ricer friends, thinks the cobra is freakin fast. It's fine for everyday driving, but it's no where near a monster-level of a car. A monster-level to me is when 4th gear accelerates like 2nd gear in a BPU 03 cobra. Now that's friggin insane!

I was good at first but I need more power now.

I thought you got a Procharger? :??:

 

[WyoTechMSA]

To me, 300 is friggin crazy, but then again I drive a 91 Maxima, so you know. But i have driven dads 98 cobra that has about 305, somethin like that, and that thing feels like a beast...to a 17 yr old atleast.

I think what I've got now is decent but the 03+ Cobra is a heavy car. My old 1995 Mustang GTS didn't make much more power than my Cobra now and less torqe (470/420 vs 450/445) but with a different boost curve and a 500# weight advantage, it simply flew above 4000rpm (ie freeway blasts). That was the only reason I swapped pulley's on the Cobra, this tank needs some torque to get in moving and that's just what the pulley gave me.

Average, everybody and their mother has a 450rwhp 03 Cobra

 

[03DOHC]

You have to love the times we live in now where a 500hp car is considered average.

 

[Swervedriver]

I know of 2 130MPH hondas around here. I can't touch that, so in all honesty HP doesn't mean $hit. It's all in the MPH which is a good representation of HP:weight and gearing...

 

[KillrCobra]

I entered that range just a couple of weeks ago. It still feels great, but I'm already feeling the need for more. I'd say 450-500 rwhp is enough to take care of most things on the road. What are the odds of getting waxed with this much power?

 

[D-Cobra]

i used to think 450 to 500 is high. but now i'm there, i want more. it's never ending.

Just the Beginning

If you think it's average, go out and rent a V6 Mustang for 2 weeks then hop back in the car. That'll set ya straight again. ;-)
