....:rolle yes:..maybe you should spend less time rolling your eyes and go buy a Miata Joe.

1) Sports cars are not about "need"...they are the antithesis of utilitarian.
2) Porsche deliberately neuters the Boxster/Caymen line every year to maintain their model hierarchy.
3) Go drive a Carrera S and ask yourself if it would be as much fun with 100bhp less...I mean it doesn't need 400bhp.

I love these cars, but I'm not such a fanboy that I won't admit that the chassis of every model year would happily handle quite a bit more power than that which they were offered. I would not say the samething about the other models.
