Power is addicting, once you get some power....you just can't have enough

I get it, but can you really use the power for DD and street driving. I mean I go on spirited mountain runs and I can follow cars with more than double the HP because you can only drive so fast on twisty roads, with other cars, cyclists and hikers.

For me it’s more fun to go through the gears on a BRZ than sit in 2nd gear in a Porsche GT3 (this happened last week). And yes on one straight he did a pull which was fun to hear from behind. But most of the time he can’t come close to using the power. I have an 04 WRX as well and barely use all that power. At some point more power does not mean as much.

This is mostly for people driving for fun, if you track/autox and compete power will be key.

I think you need a balance. I would rather have a lighter car will lower HP than a tank with tons of power. It just feels better. But yes the BRZ could use more torque.

Plus you could buy two BRZ and still have money for mods vs the Q60 red sport.
