My V puts down more power than my Z06 so it should be "more fun" right? Guess which one I prefer to drive, I mean really drive? Which one do you think offers more engagement, more balance, more feedback, is more rewarding? Why do you think people flock to Porsche to buy "under-powered" Boxters, Caymans and 911's? Miata, S9000, Exige, Z3, 4C, all fun on the twisty's while lacking the power of modern pony cars. These cars have vastly different driving dynamics than a 4000lb+ land barge.

By your same logic, I can't safely go WOT on the street in a Hellcat either unless they were "closed to the public for a race event" as you say. So where's the advantage for the non-drag-strip user?
