There's no such thing as too much power. Only not enough control.
I started a thread quite a few years ago titled something like "How much power is enough?" and as I remember it, I got caned for saying that a Cobra replica could actually have too much power, to the extent that it lost its 'driveability'.

Then there's the favorable comparison with the Ferrari Daytona....in standard form, the 427 was quicker....so another question - is there a point where power affects drivability and also the enjoyment factor of the car as a whole?

Cheers!
