although I might agree that at 240-270 hp a car of this weight seems to come alive out of corners most people never really even put that to the test. Toll booth racers.

You'll get bored with 310 hp just like you'll get bored with 210 hp. Then you'll get bored with 410 hp. After a few days or weeks you get used to your new power and every time you get into a more powerful car you'll say "I need one of these!".
The power game is a no win situation. I also think its a trend that is used to cover up the short comings of many cars in steering, balance, braking, throttle response, etc. And I'm not just talking about sports cars. Look at all these minivans now that have more power than a car raced at LeMans 30 years ago.

point is don't base your car choice on power.
