If I have a car with a powerful engine it can move a lot of stuff around.
For example I could drive around with approx 600 Kilos in the back of mine.
Would it drive? Yep, quite fast once it was up to speed.
Would it burn fuel insanely and wear out the tyres, suspension, steering rack etc much more swiftly than if the car only had to carry me? Yep.
