The horsepower wars of the 60s were more about usable performance. Ever since the Hellcat, the modern HP war has just become stupidly about what they can do vs what they should. What is the point of having a car that can break the speed limit in under 3 seconds? What can the average guy or gal do with the remaining 80% of the car's potential ?

I get "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" but this is marketing towards the average rich guy to win on Monday in a street race.

Wouldn't it be a better use of all this engineering prowess to engineer cars for those other than 2% of the population who can afford it, and of those, the 2% of them who have the driving skill to actually utilize the car's performance capabilities? Do we really need more 1200hp toys in unskilled hands?
