Depends if you have enough money to maintain and buy all the necessary components that gets you a reliable 600bhp car, and the same even goes for 350bhp as well

Depends if u want for the track or be able to use it on the road. With 600+ BHP i could imagine it would a pain in the RS to i drive.

600 bhp sounds good for a track car . 350 bhp is plenty for a road car . it will be easier to drive around town and more reliable to .

Fair point, especially cosidering the ~£10k difference between 350 and 600.
