I think 55 HP is enough for my Insight. . . and my daily has 278 at the rear wheels. Not crazy or impressive, but pushing it in turns and having fun can't use more than 150 HP on the streets. Last I was driving my Insights, I wasn't 100% ringing them and I was having a blast. For staying within legal limits and safe, in a standard, I don't need more than 200 HP in a 3,700 pound car. The only reason I want the DB9 is because V12.

Because V12.
