Ideal Horsepower for Daily Driver
Whats your ideal HP for a daily driver? What are your standards? Lets assume the car weighs and "average" 3500lbs or so.
For Example: i own a 2000 Toyota Camry and i find myself flooring it to get on the freeway every time. Cars are going about 80mph and my 140hp camry is pretty weak. Passing people, merging, etc is a handfull with it as well. Im thinking around 250-300 (crank) is pretty ideal for a daily? Last edited by natedog7700; 04-19-2016 at 02:38 PM.. |

Are we talking crank or wheel hp?
I'm now at ~350whp on Map3 and ~375whp on Map7, mustang dyno. I think this is "enough" for my M235i as DD. |

350 to 400 for regular vehicle.
500+ for anything really interesting. If it doesn't almost kill you at least once a week, you aren't driving it hard enough. |

Seems like a lot of people here feel the need to compensate for something....
