Question of the day...

Polestar is having a sale. I can download 70 extra horsepower (400 -> 470) for $1,000.

I have no interest in this. Maybe if it were like $250 I would do it just for fun.

How much would you pay for 70 more horsepower?

I think it really depends on how much you already have. If you were starting from 110 for example, an extra 70 would make quite the difference, and perhaps well worth it. But when you already have 400, well... That's more than most muscle cars ever had in the seventies.

@DenOfEarth Oh absolutely, if I could instantly make the Volvo 240 go from 114HP to 184 I might pay a grand. Its still a little steep.

Arguably the same cost and less complex than bolting on a blower?

@DenOfEarth yeah thats probably about right, and I have't strapped a blower to it yet.
