Now i have a problem...responsibility...yes a long word for me..LOL...BUT i am concererned that these cats with 500bhp plus really shouldnt be owning them....now i not talking about people like me who KNOWS i cant handle big power...i like to have big power and feel a bit of straight line g-force....great fun IMO.

On the other scale we have people owning these cars..as much as 700bhp i am led to beleive who actually DO drive them to there limits by all accounts...and i say this now...i DONT beleive you are in full control..the reason being even a Group B rally driver said that there cars were so fast you couldnt have enuff reaction to control them......Now we getting road going Group B powered cars being used by wannabe Allens.

Set aside your hatred for me and sit and think about it sensibly...are cars getting TOO fast now and are we gonna be mourning someone in the near future?I really hope not.
I think the guy means....that the most people aren't cappable enough to drive such monsters. Maybe he means also...what's the point having such bhp trough the rear wheels if you can't controle the car properly.

after all we aren't all experienced group B rally drivers.
