I guess a good rule of thumb for street power is how much you can reasonably hook. On most drag radials that's somewhere in the 600whp range. If you're a track junkie though, you'll want something you can turn up.

Hard to argue the 'sickness' logic. I went from an LT to the SS. Most HP I've ever owned. For the 'most part'...it's fan-freakin-tastic. Then you hang here, read about the available mods, the fringe stuff and the off the chart mods and you're hooked. Well, at least by what a prudent budget will allow...maybe!
Fortunately, (if it's not you) you also get to read about the horror stories where dude's Camaro is in the garage with lunched motor and he's making $400 a month payments to GMAC to store it in his own garage. So summers in between lies the perfect Camaro! All the best out there.
