The same could be said for the current Ms having too much torque/HP. I will never fully under stand people's need for HP when generally you will never be able to put it down fully. Quite a few people on the forums put 305s in the rear for the F8x on stock everything else and still will have a tad trouble putting all of the torque and HP down. A Charger/Camaro etc with 305s will be the same, in fact some of them come stock with 305s and it is the same thing.

I dunno, I think there are many opportunities to use big hp. There are the 1/2 or 1 mile events, 1/4 mile drag racing, having fun in the canyons, etc

There's also doing a highway pull from 40-70 with a bunch of friends in the car. You need huge hp to still feel fast with +700lb of passengers/cargo

There's also switching to aggressive tire compounds so you can use the power in lower gears
