But yeah i think it really depends on the type of driving you plan on doing. If you want a car that handles awesome in tight corners you wont even need that much power. Just good gear ratios and proper suspension.

For my supra project im hoping just in the 340 WHP range and ill be happy. For the most part i dont plan on serious driving with it. Its literally just a freeway car thats only driven once maybe 3 times a month tops.

i know for me, 450 WHP in a supra was alot more than i imagined. My first ride in one was very raw and hard hitting power. And thats when i decided not even i needed that much power.

Makes me laugh at myself when i was 18 wanting a 700 HP supra with no experience even riding in a boosted car.
So true as well, everyone wants crazy high hp cars, I'd be happy to get around 300 with my Ka. I'd like to one day tune in the suspension as well, but as a youngster on a budget, I just want a reliable smooth build to kick me back in my seat sometimes, yet controllable drifting on the street or track, nothing over 4-5k in total
