Thing is, once you sit in such cars, all of a sudden the whole hp thing slips out of your mind: first of all because if, like me, you are used to drive a normal car every day, having 400 or more hp on tap while not proprely scary, puts everything in perspective and anyway, especially on open roads, believe me, you don't really want to rape them that much or that often. There is that feeling or respect/fear that prevent you to do so.
I am thinking about my F360 or Diablo drive and while I floored the Diablo quite a few times in a straight line, most of the time I was cruising in 4th or 5th gear and it was fuckingbloodyfantastic, I swear! The Modena is even "worst" if we want: I doubt I passed 80 kmh and never revved close to the redline, and yet, you have such sense of occasion when you are sitting at the wheel that you don't really think about going arond a bent playing with the throttle to keep the back boiling and ready to step out.
Even at slow to moderate speeds, driving such cars puts a smile on your face and shivers in your back.
