I have said it before, but I will say it again.

The throttle is a rheostat, not an off/on switch. What fun is a car that you can flat foot it in any gear and not break the tires loose.

My wifes JEEP SRT/8 is fast, but anyone can drive it. All you have to do is push the pedal to the floor and point it in the direction you want to go. It's not very exciting.

With the Cobra you cannot flat foot it in 1st or 2nd, and sometimes 3rd depending on the conditions. You have to learn how to apply the throttle to acheive the maximum results. That's fun.

So, in my opinion you can never have to much power. You can however misuse what you have and get in trouble because of it.
