Every time somebody bring gas up the “too much horsepower” I envision the old guy pontificating about the old days, driver engagement....blah blah...
It reeks of the self proclaimed limits, that are usually excessive compared to other cars (like an m2 is somehow...reasonable?)
My experience is usually horsepower has nothing to do with it, it’s torque and where it is.
Driving experience of the stroker was the availability of torque which drastically improves the driving experience.
Also sold a mini van with 270hp (more than the E36 m3) and bought a used 240 hp diesel Mercedes SUV....the torque made this vehicle much better in every aspect...
I also had an 87 hp CRX...lots of fun...
If I could, I’d buy the new M5 in a heartbeat, and tune it a year later...
