HP is Overrated

[pecivil]

But given the underpowered issue at Porsche, most people complaining that this car doesn't have enough power or that car doesn't have enough power fall into a category: THose who demmand more power yet don't have the high performance driving skill to come withing 90% of a car's the lowest possible lap time at any given track. It's like the deer hunter that complains his assault weapon doesn't have enough firepower to take out an 80 pound deer. Your basically talking to a poser.

gotta call BS on that. More HP is fun, any way you slice it. I think the real poser is the guy who crows from the monuntaintop about his great lap times like he is Juan Pablo Montoya or something. That sounds like a "my dick is bigger than yours" comment to me. I have not taken my car to the track, but it sure is more fun to drive with the extra HP. You can really powerslide it. Torque oversteer I believe they call it. That is FUN.

Say it S-L-O-W-L-Y. More HP is fun. There is no argument that can be made against it. Does that mean a Vette is a better car than the Box? Of course not. But if you ask 100 sports car people is they want more or less HP, you know what they are going to say, don't you?
