300 remains my goal, or even less for a lighter car. Basically 10 lbs per hp.
:word: :poorvette: levels of power. Which really is a sweet spot to me. I find my Bimmer even has plenty of power.

Wheels or flywheel. That is a very solid number IMO. 370z is close to that...
Either way really. A little less is fine too. 200 or so at the wheels in my 2800 lb car would be plenty in most weather conditions.

If your ride had a Honda 2.4/2.5L I4 that rev'ed to 8000 and got 270 HP/220tq it would be damn perfect on MPSS and 245s all around.

I can already light up the rear tires half the time with my 205 crank hp. Most roads are cold, damp, or gritty most of the time.

Uh... The weather and roads that I actually experience is what matters to me. Not some :unicorn: scenario where I'm out on the Nurburgring and it's 70 and dry with no traffic.

I drive at no more than 75 mph on cold, crappy roads full of cops and people. There's no use for horsepower.

I have decided on my next :plac: although it won't involve a trade.

Tahoe to MX. Mercedes MAYBE goes to college?

2020 Jeep GC Hemi Trailhawk in Velvet Red, Hood Sticker Delete
Rock Rails $995
Luxury Group $2495
Lighting Group $795
Interior Metal $795

MSRP $53,370.

Add BROla 140406 https://www.borla.com/products/wk2_gran ... 06.htmland Mopar CAI https://moparonlineparts.com/jeep-grand ... -3330.html AT DEALER so wife thinks the truck came loud. $1900ish

All that remains is the :dill: Just need to wade deep into 2020. Not exciting like ZOMG I just got a 392 Charger and rolled 15K of negative equity into it,, but I lay in wait.

I don't dislike a WK2 ... and you should be able to get 10k off that thing... still more that'd probably spend on it but if it is a "forever" car why not.

Wifey had a loaner Bolt for a few days last year as her Saturn was getting a new trans installed. She really liked it. Surprised herself at how much she liked it.
