HP limit

Hey guy's another question for you. When it comes to convertibles is their a HP limit on which the car can handle. One day I hope in this decade, I want to restore one with some pep. Just something I want to keep in mind for when that day comes.Thanks

Not sure if there would be any more limits on horsepower on a convertible than any other model. If you were thinking about torque affecting frame twist that might be an issue but to be honest don't know what the limit would be.

That is what I was thinking, if you look at the new vettes, the convertibles run 150 HP less. Must be a reason I think
