Nismo_God Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 350 is ample power and the difference wont be realised as u'll be hard pressed finding a car that beats u at 350, let alone 500. trick the ride up with style...

_8OO5TED_ Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 350rwhp is low 12s in the R33 GTSt, thats quick on the street and still a handful for the average punter....

SKY 34 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 I have not driven 350rwhp car Ive been in 1 with 430rwhp.. just to clarify..the 500rwhp is a part time...I'm choosing ECU with 2 map memory to switch back...500 is only for dyno..just the figures..normal driving, I'd stick with 350... the efficiency curve for 500rwhp with a GT35 is crap, I think boost kicks in about 4000-4500 rpm.... no boost no boost no boost no boost suddenly kabaam... bang..crash and die..

Revhead Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I voted for 500rwhp because I value performance over bling. My old 33 made a touch over 400rwhp but looked like a lowered stocker with cooler, tinted windows and 17s. As long as the car is tidy, give me stock body/interior over white leather, neons, stereo, massive wings and the like. My personal preference is for understated before an enormous body kit.

ossie_21 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I had 350rwhp & now it's been rebuilt with forgies, gtr rods etc so it's a bit of both. That said I don't really want a sound system & better rims aren't a necessity for me. All go no show for me (except under teh bonnet) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139164-cars-for-road-use/page/2/#findComment-2605318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazr33 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yeah im with the go for 500rwhp even though i have a 300rwhp car, but its gettin tuned to go to 350rwhp next week. Just depends what you like doing. Like cruising around listenin to ya tunes fairly loud, and still being able to go pretty quick. Or, have a car that can pull 11's down the quarter, have a feeling that you could beat anyone on the street that annoys you. M preference is 500rwhp, just sounds like a bigger archievement, then nice wheels,nice interior and a sound system. All comes back to, are you trying to pull chicks, or trying to pull yaself from sinking into the seat.

croat Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 sound system haha what a f**king joke? what idiot spends 10,000 on a sound system (im sorry but it is just stupid), maybe so other pedestrians can listen to ur rap/dance music? rims are good once you have the power to get it all down to the ground. i would hands down go the rebuild for 500rwhp. without a doubt.

Link Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Whats the intended use for all that power?? 350hp is no walk in the park, either is 500hp Id say go for 350 - would be more than enough on the road where you wouldnt even be able to use it anyway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139164-cars-for-road-use/page/2/#findComment-2606702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
croat Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 u can easily use 350hp on the road. i have more than that now and find it pretty boring. i think for a good street setup is around 320rwkw.

Roy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Muscle car... equals http://www.kerbeck.com/kerbeck/kerbeck.nsf...LE/DSC05872.jpg If i could afford this 10k on a rebuild would be the least of my problems. Altogether now 427 cubic inches 18" wheels and bright leather interiors are good for some, but if its going to be a cool show/cruiser then this is where its at Imports are good for cheap performance, if you want cool you should have stolen your grandfathers car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139164-cars-for-road-use/page/2/#findComment-2615217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
