In today's world, we're seeing all sorts if insane power numbers. Seems like 500 HP is pretty mundane now, 800-1000 is the new chest thumping level.

But in all honesty, how much power do you need to make your car fun to drive? Some people believe that 450 HP in about a 3500 pound car was just right for a, average street performance car.

How much is enough? I am just curious to see how much horsepower is enough for the street? With blowers, pro chargers, nitrous and turbos it's getting more and more common to see "street driven" cars hitting upper 3 digit numbers and more than a few over 1000.  

That's a good question. At a certain point you just can't get all that power to the ground. I would say 500hp is a pretty good number.
