First week I got my car I floored it up to 85mph getting on the highway and got pulled over.

I think that would be my regret, going ST and not being able to use it. I also have an 1990 twin turbo 300zx with upgraded turbos that dynoed at 489whp so I'm kinda tied up with two pretty fast cars rather than one monster. Would probably have to sell the Z if I wanted to go single turbo.
That's what I've been wondering. Even with 400-ish HP at the wheels, it's hard to really use much of the power.....unless I'm wanting to do something stupid and/or get a ticket.

For those of you who are making 700-ish HP.....can you even get into the throttle much on the streets, or do you mainly drag/track your cars? I've thought about doing a single turbo.....but I think for a daily driver, it's kind of a waste of money except for the few times you might actually get to use the power.
