What's high horsepower to you?
 

What number means Oh shit that's a lot of horsepower, to you?

700HP for me.

Well... I suppose it's relative to the car.


Being from the Supra crowd, nothing really surprises me until its well into four figures like 1100hp or so... But even then, that depends on turbo and engine stats too...

Stock bottom end, then when you hit 900whp, or so, then I am def. patting you on the back. at 1200whp, I am shaking your hand vigorously and asking for a ride...

600 and above. once a car hits that, its: why? because racecar, Alfred, thats why.

About 200 hp and 151 lbs-ft torque seems pretty crazy to me.

An everyday car about 600 HP. A sports car about 800-900 HP. But imagine how much gas the car would consume...

400whp. Even at in a 4000lb bloatmobile, that's hauling ass. Is it STUPID fast? No. It's more than you'd ever need in a DD situation, that's for sure.

1400HP Stage 5 turbo.

Is a bit insane.

400WHP+ is pretty quick in my mind once you break 600 i think thats fast.

I've been for a ride but never driven in a four digit Supra, but on its street map. 'Only' a touch over 700 whp. Suprised the living shit out of a liter bike. (Older gen R1?)Completely terrifying and virtually unusable on the street. Too much for me.

Currently my Supra has a turbo good for 400 whp, but I need a fuel pump, standalone and tune to crank up the boost. Will be plenty fast enough. I may shoot for low lag 500 whp target eventually as I've ridden in a nicely set up 560 whp car and it was way more street friendly than the big turbo one.

It's relative...220HP is a scary number, on a motorcycle, especially one that isn't all stretched and stupid like so many Hayabusa's and ZX14's. I had that in a 2009 Honda CBR1000RR, there were no cars that could touch it up to 180mph+ on the road. For cars it's even more relative, 1000HP is generally held as "extreme" but I still think the most extreme feeling car I have driven is the new CTS-V coupe...maybe because it fools you into thinking it's somewhat refined and then goes about raping your sensibilities and perception of what a luxury car is. I've driven a bunch of Ferrari's and Porsche's, and a few GT-R's and Viper's, a couple 700HP+ Supra's, etc. but the CTS-V Coupe was the one that felt ridiculous.

Now if I could just line up a little alone time with a C63 Black Series, then maybe that would get the crown ;)

imo over 600 is a lot but to make me go WOW it is anything north of 999+

Like everyone else I think it depends on the car. Bigger muscle cars 400hp does not seem shocking I think once you break 600-650 its the holy crap factor. On a sports cars 375-400 is my wow point.

Depends on the weight of the car.

Look back a decade or two and 500-600 is crazy. Now, supercars are breaking 1000 HP. That's a production car.

For me my slightly nodded Evo VII was a lot and that was probably a bit less that 300 at the wheels.

600 and beyond is what I'd consider crazy high.
