I have driven a relatively low hp Carrera for a couple seasons, and a moderate hp 964 for a couple of seasons. I enjoy the sensation of tossing those cars around the turns, and no doubt some of that would be lost with a high hp newer car. But it is frustrating at certain tracks when you are not getting the rush of really hauling as*, like at the end of the uphill straight at the Glen before the bus stop. I get a huge kick out of balls out going fast. Please don't tell me to find a drag strip, as the sensation of handling a turn just right in order to get a lot of speed on the straigt, and the sensation of braking at just the right time at the end of that straight after doing 140 mph is a great thrill too.
The best race car drivers in the world are not on the Miata circuit, and they all want to go faster!
