its the lag that it takes to make high horsepower that makes it not fun. Not the amount of horsepower.

this is a subjective question...what is fun to you, may not be fun to me. i like having a car that is beyond control, with too much power, right on the brink of blowing up...to me, thats fun.

I agree 150%. My friend's single is crazy fun to drive.

This posts has gotten me some good advice. I was looking at getting around 400hp... which I think turns into around 350 at the wheel. Thanks.
