Default how much HP is enough?

for a street legal car, specifically the car that you are driving now. When will the mods stop and you'll be done?

250-260 to the wheels, in a old ls. enough to be fun, but not enough to be the fastes(or anywhere near) but once you reach that goal, it's going to feel slow sooner or later, so your just going to want more.

300-400 would be good for me.

I think as a good rule of thumb, people should only have as much HP as they're able to safely control.

For my RSX, I think 300-400 would be good, I never want the car to be anything more than a daily driver anyways.

Haha, I will most likely sell the car before I reach that. I think other hobbies will consume my money before the RSX does.
