Yes you can, provided you don't have to share the road with MORONS.
What did you not understand about having a moron sloth in front of me? When I have someone on the ramp in front of me going 35mph, how the f*** am I supposed to get up to a merging speed of 65-80mph? That was my point. The TW car probably had like 100hp or so. My maverick is rated at like 90 or so... (but the mav has torque)
You obviously haven't grasped my point one bit. When you are at the bottom of the on ramp at 35mph or less because of some dippoo who didn't know how to merge, you're going to need power. Having driven cars without I can tell you for a fact that it is much easier and much saver to deal with that situation in a car that has.
No, you were quite clearly saying horsepower is a 'privates extension'. Again, if I didn't have to drive around morons, my maverick would be perfectly fine to drive with it's 90hp and 4 wheel manual drum brakes every day. But since I have to share the road with morons, driving it can be a scary experience. Not because of the car's condition but it being 40 years behind the technology curve.
