Did you mean show use?

Same reason people buy CSXs. Because they can. Never mind the braggin rights that go with it----which is important for some. Frankly, in my mind's eye, the approach and technique to drive a 450HP car safely is the same approach and technique to drive a 600HP car, 750HP car, and so forth. It's the driver and in what venue that this power is unleashed, and not the HP that make things safe or unsafe. Will there be a point where all that power and torque can't get to the ground anyways and it becomes a waste of money--yes.
