amount of power and power design is moderately irrelevant, not that I am discouraging this debate, feel free to continue.

The person who said why does it need 525 hp in the first place was more referring to the fact that why would anyone not intending to use it on the track need 525 horses.

I think I can kind of agree with that, although out in my neck of the woods there are a fair number of strips official and unofficial so people run them alot(Thunder Valley next to BMS). My car doesn't really need 100 hp because rarely do I use that much and it could be smaller to reduce weight and increase FE. On other occassions I am having a bad day and acceleration feels good.
