But power is like a drug. The GT86 is the most powerful car I have driven. The first few days in it I felt pinned back in my seat and was grinning and laughing like a kid. A few months in now and I don't get the same kick anymore and look more for fun in corners.

I think if you put another 50bhp in it you'll love it for a few weeks and then you'll get used to it and just wish it had more. You need to get to silly super car numbers before you could come close to saying you had more than enough power in every gear. When you could light up the rear end in 3rd at 70mph you'd just want bigger rear tyres!
