This is what I learned:
400rwhp - impressive and can hide the expense from the family, maintenance, take lunch to work.
500rwhp - getting serious and the wife's eyebrows are creeping higher
600rwhp - hp curve is almost pure vertical, so is your budget expense. No hiding this budget, you have officially joined insanity because you cannot justify any of it. (fwiw, 'but look at how happy I am' does NOT work)
750rwhp+ - Pure race car, no justification, just throw the budget out the window, you are way over your original estimate. Time to man up and buy her a mustang of her own, that is the only way she will understand.
as a sub note; from family and co-workers I never get ask how fast, quick, etc. The number 1 question is alway 'what is the MPG'; this deserves a slap on the back of the head, I'd drive a prius if I was concerned about that. BTW, it is 10MPG city, 14 highway. lol
