Track performance does not require brute horsepower. It requires finesse, balance and driving skilz. Top speed potential also does NOT enter into the equation. There are plenty of Miata's that could beat your mythical 750 hp car unless you are an expert driver.. Buy a 370Z and put your money into a good driving school. You'll go faster, look better doing it, and have way less aggravation..
He's already made a concession for driveability and reliability by aiming for a mere 750hp. Otherwise he'd be shooting for 1000.
