Car buffs can’t seem to get their car off the archetypal penis mentality.  The more power you can get, the more you can impress your friends and neighbors.  I am amazed at all those after market gadgets advertised to bring out more horsepower and ever higher speeds.  Makes me wonder if all that is needed.

Certainly, not in the city streets. You’d be lucky to get a straight 60mph on a busy day.  But when you hear word that a Mercedes Benz SLR with more than 500bhp on its V8 engine – totally an overkill in city driving and a highway cop magnet on the freeway , can still get boosted by another 24bhp for the cost of around $25,000, I just give up. There’s just no limit, is there?
