Dropping two gears and flooring it just to slowly creep your way up from 70 to 85 is a little more than annoying.
But as stated, power is a problem that can be remedied after the fact. Then again, so is handling and at a certain point (because we aren't all ballin'ass'rich) you've gotta ask yourself which is more costly. At least that's my dilemma.
Edit: to answer a question earlier, I had a Jackson Racing Supercharger on my SVT before I sold all my mods. (Just the regular JRSC kit, I decided to opt out of the Big Boost Kit for handling reasons)

You can not redesign the "mass" of the car, the chassis or the COG unless you significantly change it to like a tube chassis car. To which I doubt anyone will be doing.
My current ride weighs 2550lbs and is 320whp/330wtq and I still pick the less powerful FR-S over a GC or a Mustang if that tells you anything about my ideas of power not being what it's about. My current car would destroy an FR-S or GC around a track. So, my opinion is not tainted by power whatsoever. I already have power, I need something else in that bowl of mixture and that is the daily poise of an FR-S to fill the stable.
