I don't know how much power exactly I'd want from a car like this. I think 250ish is close to the sweet spot for a sub 2700-lb weight street car. Maybe pushing it on up to 300. I certainly wouldn't want to overpower the chassis, and would not want to have to be concerned with losing traction at WOT in low gears. Just something fun and very toss-able on back road drives, while still maintaining some efficiency and practicality for daily use.
