Message	Because the car couldn't hook up pretty much ever. He spent LOTS of money just to take it back down to a manageable amount of power. He spent a little over $14k on a built engine, plus turbos plus custom piping, IC, etc... From what I hear, it's absolutely no fun to have a car that you can't drive hard because it's overpowered. I'd say shoot for the 400's-500's to have something still streetable...
