I read in a magazine a quote I really enjoyed when I thought tons of HP was king. "What is the difference between a 500 HP Supra and at 700HP supra? 1/10th."

+1 very true........ the law of diminishing returns comes into play here...... the reduction if times ceases to be proportional to the horespower increases. Kinda like musical amplification wattage.... at a certain point massive amounts of additional wattage is needed for a "perceived" increase in volume.

If you want a good daily drive and still hit the track........why not take the 370.
1. Its much lighter than the 300
2. Performance parts to have the 300 overcome the weight difference alone could easily double what you could get to bump the 370 up a little more.
3. The response you get alone with the stock 370 is rediculous considering the carbon drive shaft. Its way lighter than the normal heavier drive shafts, meaning it transmits work quicker from tranny to axle increasing the quickness on straight away or coming out of the corners.
4. Not only will you spend more money to upgrade the 300's powerplant....if you plan on running track, you are gonna have to invest in bigger brakes as well to stop that heavy s.o.b when cornering.

Just to name a few....
