who says you can't use most of this? there are no 'acceleration limits', only speed limits, there are times when all that power makes driving safer. I had an overtake yesterday where in a 'normal' car I would have been exposed to risk for twice as long as I was due to the fact I could quickly accelerate and then return to my side of the road.
Also at 70mph my car is at not much over tickover making it a very serene and relaxed place to be, a 1 litre saxo at 70 is ringing its neck and noisy and not relaxed or serene in any way shape or form.
Additionally there are places to use all this power, they are called tracks and a lot of people with fast cars do track days as a way of using their cars to teh 'full'
Plus, who says I've spent copious amounts of cash?
