besides, speed isn't the fun part, cornering is

is it though?

for supercar buyers?

yes

why's that

why do you think the dodge challenger sells well

acceleration

that's not top speed

despite being heavy and terrible on a track

acceleration and drifting

and sound

acceleration to an extent, drifting doesn't come into it

people want to wave their dicks around and say "my car does x"

you sure about that?

fine, donuts

yes, but not supercar buyers

and if they do, they'll buy a bugatti or whatever

most supercar buyers buy a badge and don't care about track times

how many ferraris sold do you think see a track

a fair number

how many do you think see their top speed?

much less

and if we're going with the badge argument, then the top speed argument makes even less sense

it's probably higher than regular cars but it's still a complete minority

top speed makes a badge

complete minority compared to what?

see: koenigsegg

compared to numbers sold

if ferrari ship 1000 cars, maybe 100 will see a track

true, but track driving applies to regular driving

top speed not so much

I'm not saying people will utilize the speed, only that they like high top speed for the same reason they want a prancing horse or a bull

bragging rights

and the status that gains

and I'm saying that most people that actually look at the car they're buying don't run into that

when it comes to supercars, people are definitely buying mostly for show

and besides, the people who buy this kind of car generally buy multiple

I have the misfortune of spending a lot of time around supercar buyers and the majority are in two categories

the a) look at me and my car

and the b) supercar investment buying limited run

where are you from?
