You DO realize that you can take the car to a tuner for $300 and have the HP restricted. That's what I have on my car. Normally I run 460hp just like you, but in day to day driving I have a tune that is actually SLOWER than the stock GT car which puts it at 250hp. I put the car at this when I give it to friends or like I said anywhere where that's needed, 460hp at this weight makes a GT faster than a GT500 but all that power gets in the way if anything. I keep the tuner in my glove box so I can just set it before I start up the car. It takes a short time.
If your tuner knows what they are doing, they just change the redline and the shift points and everything works fine.
