Why Did You Go For Big Power?

Just going on the statement of "power".
Power is power regardless of what its in.
In reality a 350bhp classic is more than anyone NEEDS on the road. Likewise i think a well sorted spec C at around 360/360 is absolutely perfect.
Ive 180bhp in my Clio 182 and in reality its all the power i could ever need, its a blisteringly quick b road car in the right hands because the chassis and setup is so exploitable.
The Clio is circs 180bhp, my impreza is 573bhp...
which one to i have the most fun in?

Because I Like acceleration and I wanted to have more than that which I'd become accustomed to in my 350 bhp classic.... which I modified from standard because I wanted more acceleration than that which I'd become accustomed to in the standard spec classic.
I used to think of my forged 2.5 as a big power build (470/480), but now I'd probably regard around the 600 mark a big power build
Power is addictive, but for the sake of your wallet (if nothing else), you do need to know where to stop.
