With the factory tires coming in at 215 width and the fenders only allowing a 265-275 width tire to be mounted I feel like 300+ whp and 250+ ft/lbs is the sweet spot for this car. If you want to run less tire, then I would recommend running less power. That is all assuming you enjoy grip and not tire smoke.
