Brake horsepower. It has and is always an issue. Enthusiasts always want it more. But drivers need to stop and think, to what extent? Performance cars(on the road) have a tendency to be over-modified. How much bhp can you actually use on the roads/tracks?Some cars have front-bumpers so low that its not just a problem to go over humps, but even a slight gradient leading to a garage. And some have atrocious speeds, but you're probably never gonna hit that. What I'm trying to say is, some cars just aren't worth their price tag.
It is different if you are wealthy and have a car for the tracks, and another for the road, and a car for different occasions. Because even if you do scratch your front-bumper, you can easily scrape the car and buy a new one.
My point? Practicality.
That is why I would gladly settle for an Evo. It is not as exotic as a Lambo, as luxurious as a Bentley Continental, nor as fast as a Veyron. It doesn't need to be. I personally think Evo 10 is a good all-rounder. For starters, it is a performance car with admirable handling and speed. It is a 5-seater which looks stunningly sexy(do click the pics). The price ain't ridiculous. And the sound is just orgasmic. In this car, I'ld drive anywhere without a map. I would be happy to lose my way. I would be delighted to drive around for hours just to find someplace. Hell, I might even lose my way on purpose.
