beefy even in a light car you will have plent of weight on the tyres for grip
& if you try to use 400 in a rwd jacko will be busy removing lamp posts from rear 1/4 lol
big power rwd cars are something you build up to mot something you just jump to from fwd cars

setting my sights high mate...might as well eh! lol
To be honest still havent really thought about how much power i want, thinking about the 400 mark but i dont want to be stripping the thing all the time to repair it, drive like a hooligan so it might up on the ramps more often than i would like!
