To take it to 300 and higher is doubling what it has. People just seem to like to grab the numbers that much heavier cars have. What is wrong with going 200 to 250 WHP? Even 200 WHP is almost a 20% increase. With the light weight of the car taking it anywhere between 200 and 250 will stomp most of the common sports models of production cars out there".
This statement is totally true. I wanted to FI my car until I drove it with e85. It really adds the perfect amount to the car.
