Try riding a sportbike one day.

Because trying to overtake a long ass lorry in the mountain with 90hp is suicidal.

Maybe you should just downsize then instead of having to opine here that something with the p/w ratio of a focus ST is too much for the public streets

>>17851426
Try it in a 1.2 69hp fiat...

Have you considered breaking the law, pushing the limits, or driving your car as intended on a racetrack?

>>17851476
Nope, illegal and dangerous

>>17851483

You're not wrong, but it is convenient to have loads of power to overtake a slow Camry in the left lane by passing in the HOV lane. It's mildly empty and unskilled fun to accelerate from a red and defeat most cars on the road who aren't trying to race.

You don't need too much power for that, just the ability to change gears

My shitbox has 230hp I know what you mean you can get into trouble with it if you want to but sometimes I still feel like I need way more power. Have you ever drove 300+hp cars before?

260 hp isn't much in my 3800lb barge

>>17851388
as somebody who has gotten 3 speeding tickets in 12 months I feel ya. Id rather have something I can drive the piss out of and not get in trouble for speeding.

overtaking on the highway

I've got 59hp, you can't make up for that with more gears.
