Sure it's *easier* to hit triple digit speeds with 600hp car than a 100hp car but in no way does that make the driver do so.
While everything you say is true, there is a strong causal relationship between driving a powerful car and driving quickly. I just plain drive slower with less HP on tap. It's the main reason I haven't turbo'd the FR-S or upgraded to a more powerful car.

You also get your rocks off on the track much more often than most mere mortals do.
