I've driven the 2012 GT-R, E92 M3, new BMW 6-series... and lots of other cars that make heaps of power.
Take the E92. It accelerates great, has a great sound, love shifting at 8500 rpm (one of my favorite V-8s of all time)... but it doesn't feel urgent. Awesome car to be sure, but I feel a lot faster going 2/3 the speed in a 170-horsepower Lotus Elise.
You get used to high horsepower too. The only exception is maybe the GT-R... the launch control is insane. But say like a 300 hp Evo--after awhile 300 horsepower doesn't do that much for you. I was feeling "meh" after driving a 300-hp Mustang V-6 after awhile. You always start wanting more horsepower after getting used to it, and it never ends. I mean even after all the cars I've driven, one of the cars that stand out most to me as enjoyable is the Miata. That's why I want the Toyota 86.
