Why in the world does one need a car with > 300 horsepower when the
speed limits can be exceeded easily with a car thats got only 1/5th of
that power ?

Maybe if your wallet is deep enough to pay for all the speeding tickets
... ?

Over here in Germany I could *somewhat* understand it... 
(driving home from work tonight, I was passed by a Porsche doing
probably more than 230km/h (thats about 143mph). This was around
midnight, on a long straight piece of the Autobahn (german highway) with
barely any traffic.)


Anyways, I always wonder what the owners of fast cars do to actually
test the higher speeds of their cars. Go on a race track ? Or just on
the hiway, hoping they don't get caught ...
