What's the point in cars with these giant superchargers and tons of power?
You can't use the power on the street and you have to be going 80 mph+ just to not to spin tires.
And even at a local race track, you can't put the power down on corner exit cuz there's just too much of it. (2023 GT500)
you basically have to make sure that the car is pointed perfectly straight. But even then, the traction control system is still going to go off like crazy.
Even dudes running Hoosier A7 and R7 slicks can't put the power down.
what's the point???

I'd rather a 450 horsepower car that hooks first gear than a 750 horsepower one that spins 1-4th gears.

To boost 0-60 times because that's all the layman cares about. As well as some brand chest-thumping

>you can barely fucking control 3 horses wtf dude 1 is enough
You are complaining about *these* kinds of things.

Trackdays and drag racing

Just make the car heavier, now it makes sense.
>t. Bmw m3 engineer

>>27833339
Agreed. 500 hp all motor is ideal for the street.
>>
>>27833368
Goes to show how little you actually know. These cars have (relatively) low 0-60 because traction is such a struggle. You don't buy a 700hp to do 0-60 in 4 seconds. Any modern awd turbo compact hatchback can do that. You buy one because it can go 60-140 in 6 seconds.

>>27833339
This is why I bought a 911, not some hip hopper hoopty that goes real fast in a straight line.
>>
>>27833339
because it's cool and fun.
slapping virtually everything except CTS-Vs, some porsches and hellcats in a 20 year old car never gets old
>>
Because kill yourself faggot
>>
>>27833554
this
high HP comes into play when in high gears.
The thing might do 0-60 in 8 secs, but it'll also do 60-120 in about the same time.

kek seethe and cope poorfag

Basically the same as people who buy a truck.
You might use it for the intended experience once in the car's lifetime.

I drive my 55AMG on the autobahn for long trips several times per year.

>>27833927
You're an aspie dipshit. A fuckin clown.
>>
>>27833339
the guys whooping local autox events barely make over 400whp, the guys who consistently show up and place top 10 all have some ancient fr muscle with sla mods they've been driving since age 16

but autox and open track arent on tv. americans dont care, they care about spectacles that enamour their goy infused public school indoctrinated facebook brains, thats why motortrend pumps out 80 shows a year of the same shit big hp straight line cars doing burnouts and (rarely) being hooned in a makeshift dirt course, bonus points for the hosts being goy infused facebook brains like david freiburger. that's what sells in this country, deal with it.

Wowie god forbid you have to modulate throttle beyond ON/OFF you fucking woman
>>
>>27834531
You can rent a truck.
>>
>>27834559
if You have to modulate in 1st, second, third and 4th gear in a straight line what's the point of that power if I can't use 100% of it?
like that new GT500.
all it did was Spin Cup2 tires.

while my 400rwhp car pulled the same top speeds on the straights because it doesn't spin any gear.
but my corner exits are way faster than these lol 700hp+ cars.

*puts random shit in the bed*
There, I used it

You can rent a house too. Wouldn't you rather own one?
>>

Not if i needed a house twice a year

Based. Is it black?

Says more about you than you think if you say you only need a truck twice a year...
