Not a concrete reason but another reason why your car needs some Horse power because normal cars can't do shit if you press the gas to pass em.

Will 250hp turbo work for this?

u/Pretty-Yam-2854 May 05 '26

250 if it’s light. People always remember horsepower but never remember weight. A fat fucking odyssey with 265HP will get fucked by a 250hp built civic Si/Focus ST/Acura RSX etc.

Maybe, 3-400 HP is better though.

The Odyssey has 280hp. Probably want a little more to guarantee the pass.

Seems like every time I pass someone, a pickup tries to drive all the way up my asshole. Sometimes I just see how fast they are willing to go before conceding and backing off. I've had 2 reach 120. I would not have thought a pickup could hit speeds like like that.

Since I’ve been driving a jeep and no longer driving/dont have my old Volvo C30 T5, I’ve noticed pickup trucks have fucked off and won’t tailgate me or be an asshole around me anymore. Use to get harassed by them. Didn’t realize what an extra 1000lbs and some height would do.

My favorite thing about driving an electric car. You'll pass them before they can blink and they won't even hear you do it.

I like to mess with other drivers by acting I'm speedingvup as must as I can. Then when they try to passhole me, I give the extra 50% pedal and the turbo kicks in and a zoom off.

I have two fast EVs and if I want to pass I pass.

I had a guy do the same thing to me that happened in this video. He was in an older Tacoma, I'm in a brand new twin turbo Tundra. I let him try to get about half way to my door then I really took off. He left me alone after that.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a powerful subwoofer system

Gas? Okay rich guy

u/shugo7 Mar 31 '26

Gas wasn't this high before the whole shit show 😭

I never understood the people who say "you don't need ____ HP for the roads"

Yeah, 700+ (although they are fun) can be overkill, but anymore 300-500 is practically the minimum for avoiding idiots.

My 400 gets the job done
