This car is all about driving fun. More power does not negate that as long as the driving dynamics are not adversely affected. There is no such thing as too much power, me thinks

It's nice to have the power on tap, while not killing throttle response. IMO 275 hp would be the sweet spot.

but again i might just be happy with the car stock for a year or two then start add more power.

Being realistic here... you guys are already talking about 275hp and what feels good yet you guys haven't even driven it.
