I used to have a Mustang and everyone was like your car can't handle, but I never needed the handling performance.


This is akin to asking, we really only need 30 or so hp (maybe even less) to keep a car moving. If I drive from N.Van to Langley, I make at most 10 acceleration runs lasting at most 1 min out of the whole 2 hrs worth of driving. So why do we need 300hp cars?

Where else would the horsepower benefit me...

My dad used to drive a 60hp Datsun, and has taken our family all over the place (including going out of town). We never needed anything more than those 60hp!
