it isnt the power level, its the way several people go about getting there. ive seen several higher hp cars, that while they are high hp, a lot of corners were cut getting there. at that power level, a short cut bites you in the ass quick.
but on the flipside, ive seen them built well and actually on the road more than on jack stands.
If 400 [7M] rwhp is so easy to make [& keep], show us the multitudes that have done so. You can't, because they haven't. Stepping up [a MkIII] has little to do with power output & you guys can't seem to get that through your testosterone-laced skulls. Stepping up means doing everything right, not meeting some arbitrary numeric requirement. As far as MkIV attention goes, who the fu<# cares? I don't see anyone crying about it. And please explain to us why MkIII recognition is so important...to get respect from other car guys? If so, then power output isn't the issue, your own self-esteem is.Reign_Maker said:
But like I said before, if that kind of thing floats your boat, have fun with your underpowered site. It will be loaded with MkIVs versus a tiny contingent of MkIIIs, making the MkIII look weak, just like it's always been. Without realizing it, you guys are re-establishing the status quo.
400 can be done on LexAFM and an upgraded CT-26.
500 requires actually opening the engine up. Aftermarket turbo and fuel system. It wouldn't be much of a site if there were 20 people running 550's and SAFC at 420whp.
My vote's at 500. This is the level were people really are sticking out from the rest in the crowd and everyone has different applications. Alot more interesting.

Wow, interesting read, this last few pages... Seems like some of you blokes have hp-envy 
Can't wait to see what happens, i'll be keeping my eye out for this site, whatever the hp level chosen, it seems like it will be a fantastic site, and one i would quickly add to my favourites

How about a torque curve that stays flat from 2800 rpms to redline? That's much more difficult than making a big HP #. Ask anyone.
Apply that torque curve to a car with a 450rwhp goal using MHG, forged pistons/rods, all avail ARP fasteners, standalone running speed-density, 600+hp capable dual-ceramic BB turbo, GT-II 50mm WG, built-in on-board computer w/15" LCD, tons of other custom work, & tons of work to the susp, body, & interior, etc....yet it won't make the cut.
Anyone that would deny admission to the car described above has got their head up their ass.

Just like a big HP # on the dyno, big dicks are way overrated... and they take too long to get hard.
Agreed, is a car better if it makes 500whp but only is a drag car? How bout a DD 400whp car with working a/c? How bout a 600whp track car? what one is the best? How bout a 700whp dyno queen that only makes 400-500 on pump on any given day? think bout that and then decide what a hp goal should be.

Just posting my opinion of the situation... Not directing my comments at anyone.
However, i will now make a general statement directed at all you who have entered the "I'm-a-man-yet-i-feel-the-need-to-bitch-about-hp" competition going on...
As i see it, a forum member wants to set up a site, and I am assuming it will be paid for by him. If he wants criteria, then he should bloody well have it.
If you have a problem with what he wants to do, how about you do something about it, and spend the many many hours (+ some dollars) it would take to get something like this off the ground...
I'm keeping an eye on this thread in the hope that it'll remain civil and NOT have to be locked.....

Well said Missy. This GTE Power site has been my idea for quite some time and I have certain criteria I want to add and the rules are what I set. If they don't like them, then I can't do much about that because I can't make everyone happy.
Please keep the hp you think should be good out of the thread please.
To make it clear so no need to post it again
The HP requirement for this site is > 500RWHP (end of story

It won't need to be because I won't let it get out of hand. Yes..keep an eye out bud.

I will purposely not provide the dyno sheet for my new turbo [672HP, proven on engine dyno] because the site criteria sucks. The top HP guys are the least well-rounded people I know. Lots of junkers with tons of power, no thnx.
Ummmm errr it's done :icon_razzsuprahero said:Too bad IJ will never finish his car.............He would probably meet the requirements..............
(I'd be the only one in the LPG section)
I know you said not to bring power into this thread anymore, but I felt that I wouldn't be hurting anyones feelings with this post:
Why not have the front page be all 500+ and then an "honorable mention" section or something for the 400+ members. That way the people that really dig into their cars get the attention they deserve, and the moderate upgraders still get some time in the spotlight.
Just an idea... Either way I should be a part of it
