Depends what your used to. My CDTi feels quick enough for me when I want it (or at least, i've never got my foot to the floor and wanting more, rather holding on...!), I can only imagine what something with nearly twice the power and a glorious (non-tractor) soundtrack would be nice.

Yes you can get stupid power in some frankly weird cars... but at the end of the day most people don't have hot hatches. They have a "warm" one...

Nice one. Anybody done a 1/4 mile on Nitros with a blown V8. Be interesting to know the result.
