I think 400bhp is excessive for a FWD car, needs to be 4 motion = But that comes from someone with no experience driving a FWD car of that power or using an LSD so ....

It's tempting to go 4wd but we shall see, I mean my LCR was 330 and that was fine

its all down to the person driving the car, what they want to achieve.

if you have a good allround set up i.e engine, drivetrain, brakes and suspension then i cant see it being a massive problem.
