First, if you drive 130mph for two hours,
you should find yourself arrive at a place
that normally takes you four hours.

Second, it's like stereo. People buy 200W
stereo don't necessary want to listen at
200W all the time. But listen to stereo
at arround 30W output. You will find a
big difference between 60W and 200W
stereo.

When you drive a car that is capable
to go 140mph, it sure is much more
powerful than one that can go only 70mph.
