I like 500 but I also like segmenting the site with 4, 5, 6+ hp tabs.... 400 would obviously have a lot of members and get alot of action, I think it would be a good way to keep your traffic up enough to afford it and help fund it with some vendor action.

I think that having a 400whp section would help other members who really can't/don't want to be pushing 500whp. Its kind of like an indication of what all it takes to get their cars to run 400whp. Its always nice to compare different power levels to see what it takes to get there. Also on the 400whp part I wouldn't make it anything special since they just got their feet wet. Its always nice seeing you climb up to reach your goal also; Its more satisfying in my oponion.

Either way, Am 100 percent behind you on whatever you feel is best.

Man this is going to be great. I definitely am knocking on 500's door. With a leaking head gasket that was leaking antifreeze into the #1 and #2 cylinders I made 474RWH and 459ftlbs of torque at 22psi untuned blowing out the spark. Waiting to reinstall my rear cracked subframe to go redyno in a week before puttting my Wolf V500 in.Just a little before and after dyno to show the comparison of stand alone vs VPC emanage!;)

Yeah, and they should have 300hp tab, and heck how bout a 200hp tab... Lets just make it a site full of every supra on the road, everyone's invited! ;)

The thing that made 7Mpower so cool was that it was, at the time, the elite destination... I think what Duane is trying to do with this site is make it that way again... Make you EARN the spot... Work for it... Actually devote your time, money, love to this car and make it extreme and stand out from the 100 other Supras in the line... As stated, anyone can make 400hp now a days, its so easy, a BPU 7M should crack 400hp... I like that the limit is 500... Crack that wallet, pick up that wrench, and get busy... You wanna make it to the top, you gotta get on your feet and start movin...

Just make it 1200whp+!:naughty: .... (divided by 3):icon_mad:


But seriously. I like the 500 mark. Like Reign said 400 can be made without even going into the engine these days, making 500, reliably is really where the line seperates from basic upgrades to serious modifications.

1. 500HP before 08
2. win a ROTM this year
3. develop 1 new item for sale every quarter. (for you non math people thats 4 items this year, oh and WW's dont count that was last year)
4. get laid without getting attached for any appreciable period of time.
5. finalize my divorce.

Hell, I'd make the bar 600rwhp.

400rwhp from the 7M is a walk in the park.

500rwhp takes some actual work.

600+rwhp, imho, stands out above the crowd, in a league all it's own.

Agreed, so when can we expect this to happen Duane. Your car is done so I know you have nothing but time :icon_bigg

Go for it, make the "bar" 600rwhp...a "showcase" site with < 6 cars sounds really exciting!

I'd love to see it! Seems like the majority of people are 300-400rwhp, a lot of 400-550rwhp, but there are very very few that come to mind, that are over that 600rwhp mark!

LOL

Doward: I sorta agree that 400 is kinda easy, but 600 is above my and a lot of people's goals. It takes a LOT of work to get there. My goal is between 550 and 600whp, and with as much work as I will have into my car, I would love to be able to showcase it.

Duane: This is my first time seeing this thread for some reason... And I look forward to the launch of the site!
