Please explain how power would throw off the balance and handling of a car. Unless the power add ons add a lot of weight, I don't understand how handling or braking would be affected. If a certain car can carry 80 mph through a corner or slalom a course at x mph, the extra hp would not diminish those capabilities. The added hp might mean that you drive further from the power limit of the car (with more power in reserve) but I don't see any performance aspects being diminished by adding power. If you believe differently, please explain, I'd like to know if I'm missing something
