But, what do you do with BIG power if you don't race? I have Nitrous and can't imagine any situation, except slicks and a track when I could hit the button safely.

My car had enough power to snap half shafts with under 700hp. If I wanted to spend mor money or go faster I'd go to the suspension and work on getting enough traction to use the power I already have.

I could have bought a 1,200 TT for about $10,000 more than I paid for this car, but then I'd never be able to WOT it. I would expect no traction until 120mph? So anytime I went WOT under 100mph I'd be risking my life. I didn't buy it.

I bought a car that I can drive and that's what's fun. Dyno racing is OK, but not much fun.
