This seems analogous to the 1100cc sport bikes that seems like overkill for street use. Do 450hp+ cars have a legitimate place for non-professional street driving, or are they really just a pissing contest? Does anyone feel that a car in the 200-300 HP range is plenty powerful for reasonable street driving? Is more always better, if the driver has the skills to use the power? Is there a point where there there is little benefit for additional horsepower?
Look at this series of Corvette crashes. There seem to be 2 main themes?
Some begin a 90* turn with excessive acceleration and then oversteer and spin out.
But some others seem to lose rear traction just by accelerating too hard in a straight line.
Is that a case of too much power at the wheels for the driver?
It seems he lost control after shifting to 2nd.
Is this a case of too much power ?
