Your response seems a little uncalled for. We (or I) wasn’t calling him out at all. I merely stated that given his own description of the intended use of the vehicle the choice of engine was questionable. Do you think it would be wise to put 465hp in front of a trans that’s designed to handle 150 and a rear that could hold possibly 400? It’s not “the height of stupidity” to suggest something different that may be a better option for a given set of circumstances.
i'll add to the concerns of the supporting cast that, surprise! 465hp motors don't like to be soft pedaled around town and can sometimes suffer from lack of throttle response down low and be a little fickle in the driveability department.
to me 465 hp says street/strip car or a weekend bruiser, not i wanna cruise to sonic for a tots and shake.
