Unless you are in a one make series or racing against yourself, constantly being passed on the straight bits gets tiresome.
This is why a little turbo and around 250 - 300hp in one is awesomeballs, and stock cars are moving traffic cones that get in the way.

Yeah on a track 100 percent agree you can never have too much power.
The problem is at the price point we're discussing, you have to sacrifice weight and size to get power. Under $30k (or even $60k) there are no sub-3000 lbs cars with 300+ hp. You have to step up to something like a cayman/boxster s to get there, and those are $60k+ cars.
My issue is the video made it seem like "slow cars" can't be fun, and I would absolutely disagree. I actually think some of the slow cars I listed are among the most fun I've driven, not because they lacked power but in spite of it.
