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.max225 wrote:Wheels or flywheel.

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.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 4:44 pmEither way really.

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.max225 wrote: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.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 4:44 pm Either way really.

Uh... The weather and roads that I actually experience is what matters to me. Not some scenario where I'm out on the Nurburgring and it's 70 and dry with no traffic.max225 wrote:Well that doesn't really matter. Ill weather anything breaks loose...

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

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.
