I have had several cars like EVO, STI, Golf R etc which were in the 300 hp range and IMO that range makes for a quick car rather than fast. I liked the balance of the OG M2 with 365 hp and that was probably perfect for a street car so I would say the range of 400 hp is probably the best although that varies depending on vehicle size and weight. I can't imagine needing more power than what the S58 provides even in a heavy SUV like the X3MC it can shame most sports cars in a straight line. That said I would never turn down the opportunity to own a more powerful vehicle if the opportunity was presented. Sometimes engine character matters more than just raw hp/torque as the Shelby GT350 isn't blazing fast in a straight line but it's much more of an experience than most V8TT's that make more power.
