In Reply To	W/ the seduction of BIG HP at what point does the big hp... posted by Godspeed_racer on December 08, 2004 at 11:57 AM
Message	I'm sure it depends on the driver. A 16 yo kid who buys a brand (to him) new 2Fast2Furious TTZ as his first car and plasters it with go-fast vinyl graphics might not be able to handle the ~240 rwhp. A long-time Z owner with road course/AutoX events and 550 rwhp under his/her belt would have no problem controlling the vehicle on an every day basis. It's all about sensibility, I guess.
