I recall reading a old racer (my memory sucks) saying that if you can't spin the wheels in every gear, you don't have enough power. I've always thought it was kinda funny :-).
As for the street, I think it's stupid to continue with the horsepower nutswinging that is going on, but that's just way it's going to be. It's cool, because some good cars come out of it, but it scares me that normal people with zero training and out there driving them around like they know what they are doing. People in this country don't take driving seriously enough as it is, so it bothers me that we just keep giving them more power and momentum (due to increased curb weights) to go around ramming into each other.
