I have owned several cars that had 500hp or more from the factory. Most of them have extensive nannies that dull the driving dynamics to lower the chances of killing yourself. Without these nannies there is no way you can use the car's potential on the street without being a danger to yourself or others.

IMHO the twins are more engaging and fun to drive on the street. The race track is a different matter, but "it costs money to go fast" and ceramic brake jobs and good tires are not cheap! I no longer need to impress anyone and I am so over $2000 routine services...
