Where are you going to use all this power but the track?
Sure you can drive it as a daily but would the relatively available ~150HP Miata be just as much fun on a beautiful fall day at 1/4 the price? I never found the fun factor to be more on the 3.2 than the 2.5 986 and my 85HP 914 was more fun than both IMHO.
Can you can have too much power?

Whenever possible, we prefer taking secondary roads and staying off expressways. It's less hectic and usually more scenic. But, there are times when you're stuck behind a conga line travelling below the speed limit. After trailing them for a bit and it's obvious that none of the cars in front are going to pass the slow vehicle, t's nice to know you've got the power to go by 3 or 4 cars when you have to opportunity to do so.
Probably. But it depends upon the car's behavior. Big HP means big torque and the saying is... MarcW - 9 years ago |

we buy HP but drive torque.

That said, while I haven't yet settled on my next car, I'm considering several, and all have quite a bit more power than my current 996 Turbo. When I get too much power I'll let you know.
