It's always been ingrained by society to be the best...the fastest...#1...
It all ends up being mostly bragging rights in the end.
How many of us can handle 500...600hp safely?

Honestly I have driven numerous cars in the 600+ range without any issues, but anything more then 350-400 in a street driven RX7 is over kill. Big numbers without the rest of the equation is pointless.
