Power topic has a lot of merit.
There are people who are addicted to boost. Once you go boost you never want to go back. Turbo kit makes such a huge difference its not even funny. Especially when you have other power and performance add ons too. People who are addicted to horse power make comments like "200hp is nothing". And let me explain you something lads: given the right application in the right conditions 200hp can go a very long way. For example my truck only has 236 hp and it goes from a to b, accelerates halfway decent and is capable of hauling and towing. Likewise honda vans have about 250hp and can also accelerate, carry people, luggage etc. That DOES NOT make either anywhere as fun as a turbocharged high horse power vehicle.
And then there are more practical people who start off with "200hp is enough for me" and trust me for most applications it will be enough. Enough to get you from a to b, enough to drive in traffic but it will not raise your pulse level every time you step on the gas. It will accelerate smoothly without pushing your eyeballs into back of your head. In car world most car enthusiasts in this category inevitably succumb to desire to be faster and WILL ask the following question: "How do I make it go faster?" and "Why will it cost me a lot of money to make my car go faster?"
So as far as I am concerned... 200hp is really not that much if you want to have fun in the car every time your foot pushes on that accelerator pedal.
