i have been face to face once with a 765 hp SPF. I can't imagine how fearful that would be for me to ever drive. A few days ago, drove on a trip, say 150 miles or so, much on wet roads, so i was very very careful with all pedal applications, very dainty, and i imagine a car like mine with a hundred more hp, (i have probably about 450 or so hp, engine), would be like mine on wet roads.

In other words, i had to be so cautious, so careful, that it was taxing and not really "fun" on the wet roads, and i don't think i would enjoy having to drive like that all the time.

I want a little more power, but not much. Always just a little more. A wee bit.

By my car has to idle, cruise, start easily, and so forth, and the more powerful a motor is, the more tempermental it is.

I think anything over about 500 hp in these cars begins to reduce the everyday pleasure of driving them, i guess.
