To give you a better idea of what im trying to ask, please allow me to give you my current situation at the moment.

I own 2 car's, a 2008 Mercedes S600 (5.5, V12, Bi-Turbo, 515bhp) which I can simply get in, start up and pootle around in all day at 20mph without any driveability issues. Then be in a hurry and drive it at 120mph without any problems either.

The other one is a 2004 Subaru Imprezas STi (2.0, 4 cylinder, Tuebo, 480bhp). Now this is a completely different story, mainly because it was prepared for the track and then never actually went on one, and I bought it to use as a fast road car. If I want to drive this one then get in, start up, wait 10 minutes to warm up properly, hates being driven in low gear's or at really low speeds, feels like it's going to stall, the whining noise from the high pressure fuel pump in the boot is the only thing I can hear, which is a bit pointless as I primarily bought it for that Impreza exhaust burble. As a matter of fact my mates 350bhp Impreza is a much better drive. The last point of this car being that pretty much 80% of the power just comes in as soon as I get it past 3,000rpm, quite exhilarating but a bit crap below that.

Soooo, much like the Impreza, the Cossy will only come out once in a blue moon but the question is this . . . . Just how close will the 500bhp Cossy be to the Impreza? Or am better just sticking to a stock car or even limiting power to 350-400bhp?

Thanks
