To much hp for the street
Brakes = grind down the rear calipers to fit 15" wheels and install some 4" wide wheels up front (lighter and helps with weight transfer).
Suspension = adjustable front shocks in the front to allow weight transfer to the rear
tires = drag radials, as big as you can fit
roll bar = remove front roll bar to help with weight transfer
I feel a lot safer going WOT in my car after all this since it doesn't spin as violently.
You sure do.

Basically what I'm saying is that once you go past a certain point you have to sacrifice something. You want to corner, you sacrifice straight line traction. If you want crazy power, you have to sacrifice cornering ability. Only real way around the trade offs is to go AWD.

Answer: 4wd fbody The folks at Dallas Performance have a video up on youtube that demos a boost controller of sorts for manual supercharged cars. Pretty slick.
The street driving I did with 540 rwhp, 1st and 2nd were pretty useless, but those IMO are the most important gears. Any decently powered 4wd car can smoke you while you sit there and spin.

I run around around on the street with enough power to run 9.90's. Just have to learn to drive it. I am pretty good at racing AND showing off. I was doing burnouts starting at 50 MPH last sat at our car show. They loved it.
On the street I do pretty good as far as racing. I got beat by a 1K bike from a roll this year though.

never too much..just not enough tire IMO..and thank god soembody else thought about the suspension and having the right chassis combination..power is greaat more power is even better...but you have to find a way to be safe at the same time..or atleast that is the exsceuse that i use to mod my car lol

heres a suggestion, see if you can test drive a new Z06 and see how that feels. i always laugh when people want to go straight from stock to 1,000HP because if youve never driven a car like that, you WILL crash it. just be careful, i think anywhere from 5-high 600's is wayyy plenty for a street car. keep in mind, you need the safety to go with the power. ie BRAKES, suspension, tires, roll bar, etc
That being said, I would avoid large hits of N2O for street car - a little violent and kills traction.
