Subject: Opinions on maximum practical HP for the C4 on the street by tobijohn on 2008/1/27 20:11:33 If you can't get what you've got to the ground or you have to idle at 1500rpm or you're getting 10mpg or you're replacing drag radials every 5000K, then where's the fun in that? So really, if you want to run street tires, idle under a 1000rpm and would like to get decent (not necessarily great) mileage, what are we talking about here? I know the latest Z06 is 500HP and the 09 ZR1 is over 600HP and have great street manners and get good mileage but they're not C4s and I've heard unless you really know what you're doing, you won't be able to take advantage of all that power anyway. I've also heard of drivetrains woes too. For the street driven C4, at what point does the law of diminishing returns come into play? TIA... |
