With a A&A s/c and all else being stock, I like the reliability of our coupe. 1st and 2nd gear is a little challenging, but overall the power is controllable. You just have to be careful. We only have 515 rwhp, so I have no idea how 600, 700, or more rwhp will be on the street. I am sure at those levels, you will be feeding money into repairs, and or upgrades.
My solution was to build a dedicated race car for the strip, and keep our coupe for street and road course use.
How fast you want to go, is dependent on how much you spend.

kinda like when i got used to 480 in mine... i drove a friend's C6 with 670 & now my car feels a little inadequate 
ahh Houston... where every grandma has 1000hp in her cadillac.
yeah... sad thing is that my debate is whether to cam the LS1 now or just save a little longer & go ahead with the stroker swap reusing my blower (which was only supposed to be the backup plan if i blew this engine 
yeah, right!)
yeah, right!)
