I hear ya, but if we are talking about a real 350 hp stick car and 3600 pounds , this describes pretty much my LS1/T56 Powered 1999 Formula WS6 and its real fun to drive... actually hard not to drive this car like an idiot.

In comparison a brand new 1980 Camaro Z/28 had 190 hp ! Im sure if I dynoed the car now would probably put around 140 hp to the wheels... So to keep it simple and period correct I dont think I would squeeze much more than 300 flywheel hp...in my little stock 350
