What's high horsepower to you? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

550 and up is where i start saying DAMN

n2oinferno · 04-05-2013, 11:24 PM

Completely depends on the car.

But just off the top of my head, four digits.

Wonderbar · 04-05-2013, 11:32 PM

Yeah, depends on the car. I'm around the 350whp mark in my 4g eclipse (before rebuild) and it is fun but definitely more a gt/road course car.

I can look at cars like a supra with 900whp and not be overly impressed because its the exact same build, maybe with a different brand name as all the others; likely is also just a dyno queen. Hp is nothing without being a standout, it's about the full package for me on a car.

87,342rwhp would be alot

Actually that one makes 109,000

The fastest car I've ever driven was a Stock 2010 WRX was fast enough for sure... so IMO 400ish would be a lot.

Nevermore · 04-11-2013, 01:46 PM

In all seriousness, 200 is high for me since my Mazda only had 130 and that was the fastest car I owned before the FR-S. But aside from that I would think it was subjective. It would really depend on the size of the car. 400HP might be a lot in a little car, and not enough in some big SUV or truck. I will say looking at the various 911 models that most of them seem like they have too much. They barely weigh more than the FR-S and more than double the HP.

Don't get me wrong, it sounds pretty cool. Just seems high to someone like me.

As others have said it all depends on the car

Fastest cars I have driven are a Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M and a 700hp Shebly GT500 convertible

NomoreNA · 04-13-2013, 12:57 PM

I would say anything over 750 or any street car in the 8s is definitely respectable.
