I'm not sure where / when you really need over 250BHP
I've got a Seat Leon Cupra with 300bhp and that thing is an absolute rocket. I can't think of a single time when I've needed all the power on the road. Have I buried the throttle for shits and giggles? Yes, but do it for longer than a few seconds and you're into driving ban territory.

this did make me laugh and also a very fair point.
there's been a steady escalation in power outputs - cosworth sierra had just 204hp and was thought of as pretty radical when it was first released.
I'm not sure where / when you really need over 250BHP, but i've never driven an AMG merc or a BMW M car so maybe i just don't know what i'm missing.
