Why all the rants about too much power?

at least it’s a game...I’m at a boring conference (Yea on Sunday) where the keynote is being given by some old guy in Chinese/ Mandarin. I’m pretending to listen to the translator on headset but would rather read Corvette Forum pundits make the usual excuses (I like my A8, I like my narrow body, 460hp is too much power, iron brakes are good enough, I don’t need Viagra!)

Hahaha! It's a Charger. And also, you just never know how many of us could be lurking on this forum in disguise
I thought it was a nice gesture on V Vettes part. But I also understand this is an overwhelmingly testosterone-skewed forum. So I try not to take offense to most things I read. Or at least I bite my tongue till it bleeds

Ah, but isn’t a newer Charger like A Lesbaru?

We happen to think they look good together.

The overwhelming majority seem to be conservative
The majority are men
The majority are 55+
Quite a few have major egos
Quite a few have a low tolerance for things they disagree with
And there's not much anyone can do about it! Lol!

Simply put, because despite what people say, you can have too much power. If your suspension and tires can't put down and hook up with the power you are making, it is pointless to increase the engine without fixing the transmission of power problem.
When I worked on a rally crew, people would actually detune the power on snow, because it made the car far more usable.

Regardless of what I drive (17 GS), driving from Point A to Point B fast here in Idaho is awesome in ANY Corvette. And most likely just as fun in a base Stingray as it is in a Z06.
Racing on a track is a different story, HP matters. Z06 can dominate the track when all its fantastic characteristics are applied properly.

If there's one thing I've noticed on this forum, for a pretty short time as a member, it's this:
The overwhelming majority seem to be conservative
The majority are men
The majority are 55+
Quite a few have major egos
Quite a few have a low tolerance for things they disagree with
And there's not much anyone can do about it! Lol!

The only thing you missed was to make it a quiz. If you match up to at least 3 out of 5 you may be an insufferable *******. If you match up with at least 4 out of 5 you are most definitely an insufferable *******. If you are a 5 out of 5 there is no help for you.....

Sounds like your mommy didn't teach you respect. Let me try, ask your wife or daughter about this.. And oh, there are women on this forum that it offends...
