Can a vehicle have too much horsepower?

I say it all the time to everyone questioning my build! Yes too much power in a street car is not only unnecessary but can be dangerous. A true 400hp street car is alot of power and is plenty! I have a perfect example i use often I have a good buddy that build a 69 Camaro, absolutely beautiful car he put all his money in the engine and body. He built a all out 454 with 7 or 8 hundred hp (his numbers) with a 410 rear and a power glide. But left the stock suspension and stock 4 wheel drum brakes.... he totaled it on the first outing. Got on it at about 60 mph and broke traction hit the brakes and they locked up putting him into a slide right into a tree on the drivers side door! He is lucky to be alive. Like I said it was his first outing he had no insurance no tags nothing it was a total loss of over 30k. He did sell the engine and got some of his money back . I'm sticking with my 300hp 360 lol

Good thing for us at least it was 'just a 1st-gen Camaro' and not a Mopar... lol

For real though I'm glad he's OK and I hope he learned from that experience. Gotta consider the whole package and keep everything balanced! Even the automakers figured that out, most stock 1960s muscle cars had terrible brakes along with sh*t tires from the day and lots of young inexperienced drivers died or ended up in the hospital because of it.
