I'm too lazy to do the math/physics, but: isn't 700+hp in a street car just a teeny bit excessive?

Even if you spend the rest of you life doing burn-outs and jackrabbit starts and street racing and maybe the occasional HPDE, would anyone here even approach the need for 700hp? According to my rough guess, most people would never get this car into a speed and rpm range where they would need more than about 250-300 hp and if they did, they would either kill somebody or **** their pants.

I know most of you guys make way more money than I do, but even funnier is the fact that we are calling a $60k muscle car "affordable".
