There is a limit to how much power you should have, it is usually determined by tyre size, or traction control.

I would like all of the powers and all of the torques.

You don't always need to drive like a ****, but when you do, you want to have as many powers and torques as your tyres and abilities allow.

A 0-60mph in around 3 seconds is fun.

A 140mph 1/4 trap speed is scary fun.

Struggling to knock off 0:00.25 of my PB at the creek or Wakie is always fun.

Hearing the sound of 1000hp reverberating through the Nasho is sublime.

You can still drive to the shops, you can still do the speed limits, it is just the nut behind the wheel and the linkage to the accelerator that needs to be monitored and controlled.

Drop of the kids and/or Mrs of to the shops in the morning then drive to the mountains, or drag strip, or local track, fill your boots, burn some fuel and some rubber, then pick them up in the afternoon and go out to dinner.

All it takes is the will to want it, oh, and the cash to back up your will.

Or is that just me?
