Now, the cars which have been the best eyecandy for me, meaning polished and nice engine compartment and repainted in the last three-four years all seem to have 400 bhp or more... Some even 600... So my question is, are these cars really driveable on the street?

And yeah, I know the smartest thing would be to test-drive a lot of cars first, so I would have something to compare with, but I have to go abroad to test drive the car, I?m interested in, so it?s not really a possibility to do often...

Yes 600hp Supras are really driveable on the street. Since they depend on the turbo, they produce a very tame amount of horsepower unless you mash the gas (aka accelerator) pedal down to the floor and let the rpms get up over 3.5K
