When is too much BHP too much?

I know we all love to get our car the most powerful on the road, but when is too much too much?

 

I tried to shoot off in 2nd today on a wet road, but as soon as the revs hit 2500 - 3000 revs the wheels started spinning even though I had traction control. Obviously this is too much for the conditions today and I only have 1 or 2 mods. At what stage does the power become un-useable, up to the place where the video Warren has posted where if you floor it you will just spin.

 

I would love to get to 400bhp and I probably will sooner enough, but personally much more than that is un usable on the road.

 

Anyone have simalar thoughts?

    Well I got to say, when I first drove my Z, it was not the rip-your-face-off performance I had expected...but 400+hp should make things more entertaining...:)

     

    And a 75 shot of nos... :D

     

    Maybe next year......
