I will never understand why the fuck they build vehicles that can go 300 miles an hour when most laws in every single urban area put you at a max of 60-70 miles an hour.

I get the "just because we can" kind of deal, but jesus christ.

Going fast is fun.

Oh but of course. But when, or where the fuck are you going to have the oppurtunity to go 300 miles an hour without killing yourself or every other person around you?

I mean for fuck's sake, most people are bad enough drivers already. Giving them the ability to travel 300 miles an hour when they're drunk or just shit drivers is stupid.

Nobody cares about maxing out their car's speed. Top speed is just a flashy selling point.
What people really want is acceleration, which comes from the gearing mostly, but also lots of torque. That's what's really fun. And with lots of torque comes high horsepower ratings, and with high powers come high possible speeds.

Good to know.

Your car can go from being a car to spaghetti in 0.6 seconds when you crash into the back of another vehicle.

I wouldn't call it America's first Hypercar. A bit pointless to bring up an issue with such a loose term, but wouldn't the SSC Ultimate Aero and Tuatara, and everything with performance equal to or greater than the Mosler MT900S count?

Also, I'd trust that anybody who can afford a car with such ridiculous performance would at least be smart enough to only drive it fast at a Trackday, where there's at least some element of safety in case of a High speed crash. Fuck it shits me when some cashed up star wrecks a Ferrari because of really irresponsible driving on public roads. May as well just cut out the dealership altogether and burn a pile of money whilst breaking a few bones with a sledgehammer.

I expect the first month its out someone crashes and dies in it horribly. Paul Walker style.
