My initial goal was 280-300whp but I'm happy with where I'm at. I plan to dyno next week. I get my cat-back in tomorrow. I should be north of 250whp. I'm fine with it because the car is so well balanced with that power. Sure, more power is always cool. I guess it just depends on your goals. I came from a 911 (996) and a M3 (e46) so I wanted something pretty close in speed. I'm almost there but the car is more fun IMO. I don't know how this car would feel with another 50hp or so. I don't know how well it will handle it in certain situations.

My fun is on backroads and a few track days. I'm very well set-up for it. Sure cars will be faster but I'm having a lot of fun.
