Daily driving - more than what is needed. Our speed limits are 65. The car does fine there. I have more than enough to get a nice ticket.
Weekend back roads - all the damn time. Just in the area I need. Enough to rotate the rear and slide when wanted. Too little to worry about punching it in second with the rear coming out on you while pointed straight (oh so many RX7 stories).
I find that with age (I am in my 40s) scale has come into play.
I have a miata that I beat the utter shit out of autox - backroads - avatar is at the tail of the dragon. It is 90whp? 45mph feels like 90 with the top down?
So with the addition of the BRZ the day I feel it is slow I will drive the miata for a week. Change my scale. Get back in the BRZ and be happy again.
I can't beat a honda CRV off the line with the miata. I can now with the BRZ lol.
There is nothing better then keeping up with much more capable vehicles in a lower hp car.
My next one will most likely be a 718 when the BRZ is paid off.
