It ends when you cannot fit in the price range or you cannot fit enough rubber. There IS a market for 1000HP cars. Just like there is a market for a 1M, people that want the best M car they can get while staying below the M3 price range.
I've been in a 537WHP car that hooked from a dead stop, and it FEELS GREAT! (on drag radials though)
451HP (about 383WHP) with 285/35 "ultra" summer tires on the back of a 1M would be fine. 1st would probably spin at WOT so feather a bit, 2nd would hook and everyone would LOVE the pull.
340HP (about 289WHP) is more like, "Oh it feels strong, wish the exhaust note was better."
