I have to qualify my comment with the fact that I was deleting it as you used it so I couldn't delete it.

In the end it is a bit hypocritical for us to ask the question "Is this too much?" I think. In America it is or prerogative to own it but it is our responsibility to use it wisely and our privilege to live in a country where we can buy it and be allowed to drive it responsibly. I can't think of any other way to word it. I would love to have 3,500hp in my TA so it performed like a Can Am car on the street. You just have to go on what Clint Eastwood said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
