On the street, I think that 300-350hp is about all that's needed for more fun than your driving license can probably withstand.  |
And this is from someone who races Porsches ! If 300-350 hp is enough for him. it is surely enough for those without his driving skills?
Try a full throttle freeway merge in a 500hp car - it is not fun.It is terrifying because no other driver is moving(or thinking) fast enough. And the insurance premium....
