Also it's too easy to get too much power for the chassis. Much harder (and more rewarding) to make a well-balanced package.

@aircooled (Bruce) isn't that guy, gentlemen. The dude just polished a Subaru transaxle, and he's waiting for the first IRS Spyder Greg's ever made. He's been looking at A-arm front suspensions. I doubt he's going to cheap out on brakes.
It's valid to point out (I guess), but nobody tells Marty or Bob Carley they've got "too much". We live in a world with 700+ hp Mustangs. Part of being a car-guy is wanting at least a little bit more.
