yes agreed, it stresses out the engine,
but then we get hi performance aftermarket cooling systems,engine oils,tougher pistons,con rods,drive shafts,tougher clutches and gearboxes, also to make sure we are not melting something we get meters to monitor EGT,oil temp, water temp etc etc, to make sure we are running fuel right ..wide band o2 meters for AFR etc etc ... the list can go on and on and on..
if the engine is going to take load more than what the factory intended there are aftermarket parts available to take care of this.
its not like the motor is going to just blow apart after a few thousand miles...

1]these "smart ppl" make cars for "rich ppl" who dont want to spend months researching,buying,assembling tuning and testing , geting their hands greasy etc... and make 600 BHP.
if these "smart ppl" start using smaller engines then the "rich ppl" will have to start monitoring all the hundreds of meters for oil, air, boost,o2 etc etc
frequent servicing will be reqd ..changing oil, checking valve clearance, belts, turbo's etc etc
so if u can afford an "easy to use" 500 BHP then buy one of those Enzo, Murci, Gallardo, Vipers, Vettes, Zonda, S7 etc
and dont want the hassle of tuner car..
2] Also if these "smart ppl" can call these cars "supercars" .. and have super price tags..
so what they have is brand name.. its to prove u got money
3] these things may handle pretty well becoz they were designed for sole purpose of handling, weight distribution etc etc
but the other street tuner cars can keep up with their AWD,4Wd, crazy electronic differential setups ...
its just a matter of price tag if u put money in a supra/evo/subaru/skyline im sure u can chew up a more expensive out of the box super car, who cares its stressed or revving at 8000 RPM ..its been taken care of, the engine has been modded enough to care of the stress..
then its unfair to say its all modded- then plz explain why you paid 100K for a 2 seater supercar which got chewed up by a 4 seater grocery getter with a boot... its all abt the price tag ..dont call it a "super car" jsut call it a "expensive car" with a big v8 engine
