Just something fun and very toss-able on back road drives, while still maintaining some efficiency and practicality for daily use.
250hp probably is the sweet spot for a this car, BUT think how much fun 300hp would be on track with r comps and the suspension setup to handle it??

Plus, this is 'merica, more hp is ALWAYS better.
