yeah
when you run into environmental regulations
that happens
by actual speed tests
and also when you try to make it so you can go around a track
that's the thing
that is a ridiculous argument, it has nothing to do with environmental regulations
do you think the veyron was designed for tracks?
if you took the powertrain in a p1 and optimized the cars aero for minimum drag, I'd bet it could hit 250
lol
no
that's what I'm saying
that's why there are so few that do 250
because they're all designed for tracks
because no one cares about being able to do 250
you'll never hit 250
under most circumstances
top speed and power is a bigger selling point than track performance
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
