Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?

Hi,

Most of us have our LS1/LS2/LS3 with outputs of over 300kw at motor and over 500nm torque. Pretty commonplace on here. Many of us also use these cars as daily drivers.

Do we really need such power/torque as a daily driver? Isnt it complete overkill? Like using a powerdrill to brush your teeth. Sure some of us race at proper dragstrips or attend track on occassion but for the majority of our commutes, its on the way to work, shops, gym etc.

Please descirbe your overkill ride for daily commute duties?

-Mine is a VT2 LS1 with extractors/exhaust/cats, intake and mafless tuned. I think overkill for daily duties. But I have a supercharged V8 for the weekend cruise
