Friend of mine is around 271whp and hes still on the factory open diff...

Having driven it, it's not ideal thats for sure...but its not completely horrible either, especially on street. Track or AutoX, would be a different story. Not much torque steer either....its all in how these cars deliver power and their relatively low & flat torque curve

I'm at 231whp and have zero torque steer...20-30 more horsepower isn't going to change that all that much.
