Except when you're actually trying to put power down




Torque steer FTW!
Yep nothing like having your car pulling hard to the left or right under full throttle, even with a LSD!

As of July 1st speed limits in parts of Idaho and Wyoming are 80mph. Also one highway in Texas has been 85mph for a while. People will routinely do 90-100mph.
Yeah, I've cruised at 105 on that toll road. Speed limit is 85, but everyone goes faster. That's the funny thing about toll roads...cops seem to not care how fast your going since I guess your already paying to use the road.

Different people want different things. I would never expect someone who loves fast cars to understand why I'm satisfied with my BRZ, nor would I expect someone who is satisfied with a slower car to understand why people need 400hp on a car that will only ever see public roads.

Easy. Fast cars are fun. Yes most interstate speed limits are around 70mph but there are drag strips and road courses you can go to.
