For flat highway drivng, at speeds of about 65 MPH I need twice this.

Short of dragging redwood trees out of the forest... by the roots....
Why would ANYONE NEED 339 horsepower for daily driving?
WHAT A WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was stuck in traffic earlier today and moved at 10 mph on average. But I discovered I was still able to reach my destination! There is no need to ever go above 10 mph and all cars should be speed-limited to 10 mph! Anything higher is SUCH A WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
