I really don't understand in this day and age why people are still so gaga over horsepower. Anything over 350hp for a daily driver is really unnecessary unless you're on the autobahn.

Sorry just my 2 cents...
Anything over 100HP is really unnecessary for a DD, so, why even get a Z?

I think heavier cars definitely benefit from having more power. Maybe 3,500 lbs. needs 300+ horsepower.

Cars lighter than 3,000 lbs. can make due with 100-200 horsepower, but could use more.
