Wow.....
After reading this thread, I have to admit I am a bit... well... lets just say taken back.
To each their own..
Personally.. I have had MANY sports cars, ranging from 200hp to 1200hp. Corvettes, 911's, GTR's, Supra's, GTO, several DSM's, Miata, Civic Si, even a Focus...
I have hundreds of track hours over the last 20 years, I have made hundreds of passes down the 1/4 mile, and yes, I have taken part in hundreds of highway pulls and other street races. Yet, your average large pickup (this is Texas), or kid in a 150hp civic drives much more like an ass than I ever have.
How you drive is not determined by what car you have, but what car you have does determine how you can drive.
As of yet... I have not found a point where a car had too much power for the street; Nor has a car ever accelerated too fast, broke too hard, had too much grip, or a high enough top speed... Anyone is free to disagree, but that does not make you right.
As for how much money I spend on gas? Well that is my business.. if you don't like it, you can suck on my high octane leaded exhaust gasses.
