out of these 3 options -200, 500 and 1000, I'd take 200. it'll still be able to make rapid progress in traffic if needed but won't be too much so as that you have to constantly watch how fast you are going. I'd say 230-265hp N52 cars have is good, the sweet spot. even 333hp is sometimes turning into an exercise in self-control. Also, not all the horses are created equal - DI turbo engine with max torque at 1,800 rpm feels very different from the NA engine with peak torque at 6,500. Dare I say, I sometimes enjoy the NA 230hp engine more than a 333hp DI forced induction motor
