just curious to see who daily drives their high horse power mustang, weather taking the kids to soccer practice, going to walmart, or making the drive to work its your primary mode of transportation.

doubt im any where near the top of the pile but my 435 rwhp GT gets me from point A to B every day.

I am by no means a "high" horsepower car when compared to some of the other guys here, but my GT has 426 rwhp and 410 rwtq and is driven in everything. Did surprisingly well on ice this winter lol

I don't know if you consider 530 rwhp high horsepower but I daily drive my car. I don't have kids but I drive it every where. I stuff auto parts, parts from Home Depot, etc, groceries, etc. I live in Florida so of course I drive it in the rain. I just drive very carefully as anyone should in the rain.

I'm around 500rwhp and I drive it 12 miles each way everyday to work on Camp Lejeune. Traffic is usually bad for about 1-2 miles of that drive each way. But when I get onto 17 and get to open her up a bit, its verrrry niiiice :)

Only bad thing is every idiot with a honda civic wants to race me...and if I don't race, they make it seem like I can't beat them lol

I've been driving around a 745 rwhp GT500 everyday since we got it tuned. It's a daily driver for my buddy and is fun to drive on street tires.

I drove my car with 660 rwhp through the auto every chance I got and it drove like stock.

Those of you in the 450 rwhp range thinking about more for your DD, think twice. There's a huge drop-off in driveability, at least in my experience.

I honestly didn't tell much of a difference, in terms of driveability, between 463 and 506 and 530 rwhp. Like you said YMMV. What kind of issues did you have?
