I think the speed of a car is irrelevant, it's all down to how it's driven. I own a Supercharged Vauxhall VXR8 which is pushing 575bhp but for me it drives equally as well on our roads as my Wife's 1.2 litre Clio, when driven in the same context.

Part of the issue is that some people push there car too hard on our poor quality roads and that can result in big problems! Hoofing along on our badly pot holed roads can cause big issues with stability of fast modern cars.

For me though having all that power isn't just about getting from A to B as quickly as you can, for me it's also about the noise, the knowing what it can do and also having the power to use when the opportunity arises, on the track, drag strip etc.

Buy a car from your heart, every time!
