My thoughts were along similar lines.
As in, why does anyone NEED a 400 HP engine in their car, when a 100 HP engine can still attain the same national speed limit?

A fast, powerful car, can be compared to a firearm, in that, neither one kill, but with the wrong person handling it, can be the means to do just that.
But I don't see any BAN on high hoursepower ratings coming out of any factory. As it is, a more powerful engine advertised in ANY type of car has always been a good selling point.
WHY?
Because that's what people want, not NEED!
It's all about choice, and that means freedom, plain and simple!

As a mechanic, that is the argument I use.
