The point was what you use it for. The claim seemed to be that Porsches etc. were made to cope well with mountains. The average motorbike copes even better, due to its good power to weight ratio. To have real fun in the mountains, take a motorbike.
Having said that, the excess power only comes into play when the road allows higher speeds. Any car can climb any paved mountain road in first gear and most of them in second. So where the roads get really twisty the power differences become less significant.
