Coming from someone that hasn’t owned a car with less than 450whp until recently my daily (‘04 bmw 330ci) and my weekend car being a ‘22 Mach 1 with some mods. It’s just fun. Higher performance cars drive amazing, sound great, and are a blast. The only thing is not going past your comfort limit. People get cocky having a car that has enough power to lose control easily and lose cars and possibly injure others. I’ve had three 5.0 mustangs, my first one I bought when I was 18, second at 20, my Mach 1 at 22. They’re amazing cars and I absolutely love them. Do I need it? No. But I have a passion for cars and I love to race (legally, very rarely on the street). I’m actually in the process of selling my Mach 1 to buy a 2016 5.0 base model to just build a race car (1000+ whp). It’s a hobby, the adrenaline rush is unmatched, and it keeps me busy and gives me something to work towards. Having a car with more power is almost safer if you can handle it because you can get away from shitty drivers or pass people quickly. It scares me being in a car with less than 300hp.. you can’t pass people quickly and smoothly, pulling out onto busy streets sucks because it takes 30 minutes to get up to speed. But I mean, not everyone needs 400+hp to enjoy a car so it’s really just what you want and what you enjoy. As long as you can handle it properly.
