Too much power!!! I would never thought I would hear anyone say such a thing... I believe that there is no such thing as too much power, and if you are concern about parts breaking then you are in the wrong game. -I say this with the most respect possible

Half-a-dozen classmates with GTO, BB Chevy, BB Mustang etc. died while I was in high school. It it possible to have too much power.

I also had classmates die in Honda's and Omni's', I can say they didn't have too much power..Just to much stupidity....

Remember, it's not the dogs fault it's owner is stupid...

All those killed in my school were big-engine cars, except for one killed in a VW. Screwing around, rolled into a ditch, no seat belt, went halfway out the window and the car rolled onto him.

There is a reason teenage boys are charged a bazillion dollars insurance if they drive Mustangs…

I have known people to die in 4 door slugs, minivans, and family cars doing stupid stuff. Had one of my Airmen wreck his Ranger, and another roll his Civic, luckily they both lived. Ive had a few friends destroy perfectly good muscle cars too. When you get a mass of metal and glass moving, and it meets another moving mass or an immovable object, things dont end well.

Ive known more people who got killed by drunks or by being drunk than people who died from owning a big engine. The thing that causes most accidents now is lack of awareness and distractions. People dont pay attention while they drive, they roll around like a brain donor and try to occupy a space that is already occupied by another vehicle. They do not posses good driving skills yet believe they are an excellent driver while talking on the cell phone, eating two burritos, and slupring down whatever it is they prefer to wear during after an accident.

Yes you can have too much car for someone young, and its the parents fault for allowing them to have it without proper training. If you are an adult and buy, build, or own a powerful car it is your responsibility to drive like you have a brain in your head and use good judgment. Poor judgment in something with 400hp+ is a sure bet you will reach the accident scene 10 minutes to an hour ahead of the ambulance. If you cant pay attention or use your head, we dont need you on the road in anything.

You still need the power to outrun the zombies! Be careful they leave large dents if you run them over, and splatters all under the car.
