Remember, horsepower is only fun for a daily commuter when it's readily available to play across the powerband. Beware high-rpm screamers that have no low cajones. Take a drive in a Honda S2000 to see what I mean. It's a snore, unless you keep the revs up like a turbine. All these high horsepower figures are fun to drool at, but wait to see what they really drive like in normal situations.
