Horsepower - wants and needs
The difference in getting from 0 to 60 mph between a 150 HP car and a 350 HP car is very noticable. A good five seconds, which is an eternity in racing, as you know.
It's the ability to do that - jump from zero to sixty or sixty to one hundred in a very few seconds - that can make the high HP car dangerous, especially in the hands of an inexperienced driver. Add to that the temptation to speed (and race) in the high HP car and there is a real difference that trancends just cruising down the road at sixty, in which case, HP makes no real difference. Clever argument but I would respond; "Why have a high HP car if you're never going to need or use the power?" |
