Excessive hp is a lure to driving too fast and over your head. Period.

I thought the article about Glassnake clearly indicated a "race". In fact the other car as I remember was a Trans Am.

Point. Anything beyond 300 hp is beyond most peoples skill and talent level as far as driving the car to its full potential.

I haven't seen anyone claim they have the same talent as Shelby's team drivers. They at times had a hard time taming these beasts. And the originals had less than 600hp.

The only antidote....Common sense. Period.
