I can't remember if I mentioned it in this thread but there is an Japanese F2000 driver I sometimes pit next to. He's told me his friends back in Japan are spending way more money on there Sunny race cars than he de on his single seater. So yea I get it when we talk of power outputs and also realize that most members aren't racing their cars.

A 1600cc A series street motor could probably do 100-110hp at the wheels and not be a total bear to drive in traffic.
