It's interesting reading the opinions of those who race/track their cars versus those who don't when it comes to horsepower. Not ridiculing one side or the other but the general impression I'm getting is the guys who race/track generally prefer handling and the ability to put down the power they have and the street guys seem to want more HP. I was definitely in the latter category about four years ago. I've got a friend from school with a twin-turbocharged 4.6L Mustang who likes to go around saying things like "My daily driver is faster than your racecar." Sure, 0-60 mi/hr, but what about around a corner? What about against cars with similar HP/weight ratios? I mean, comparing a twin-turbo V8 street machine to a Spec Miata is pretty assinine.
