of course everyone wants more power. It's like your boss asking you if you want more money? Who is going to say no to that?

But you can't have everyone at work making the boss's salary can you?
The boss gives you more money and then you get used to it and
what comes next? You want more money.
HP is the same, they give you 300HP coming from a 180 HP car you think
this is awesome. But then you get used to 300HP and want more. It doesn't end
until you are in a Z06. But how many of those 100 sporst car guys ever take any those cars to their native habitat? Most never do. The percentage of sports car owners who actually seek out formal driving instruction is tiny compared to the total number of sports cars sold. Yet they complain about a car not having enough power? Does it really not have enough power or have they simply convinced themselves that the car is not up to the task? Seems to me its more in their heads than the reality of the car not being capable of going fast enough. Once a driver has really stretched his/her's car's legs in the right and left directions, as opposed to merely stomping on the gas at the red light, he will then have a new respect for his sports car because he knows that he is far from extracting the limit of the car...safely. That realization tends to curb the apetite for more power.

I don't believe anyone has said that HP isn't fun. I highly doubt you will find anyone to say otherwise. The question is why do some people feel
that a particular doesn't have enough power? While some think it's more than fine? Most sports cars are tested by professional drivers and if its REALLY lacking they add more power. Speaking of Montoya, I know someone who raced with him in a junior formula and when he was driving for Mercedes they gave Juan Pablo first crack at some AMG Merc and he told my pal "this car has WAY too much power for the public". I believe they listened and put less power in whatever car it was I can't remember the model.
