Why do people blow thousands on cars with 400-500 hp only to use on roads with speed limits? brb accelerate fast only to see same group of idiots at next red light
It's fun.
And it's also really nice to have a car basically do what you're thinking right when you think it.
My car has 555hp. I do not sit in traffic all day. In fact with my work schedule I have almost 0 traffic coming and going. I hit 100mph almost every morning on a certain stretch of road coming into work.
I bought this car because of the power. It has no problem passing when needed lol
while getting 8mpg. Love the X5M. The only thing I'd rather have more is the M5.
Because of efficiency and computing improvements, a high end V6 can easily get 375 HP. In reality, that's all any normal people need, but some people like the sound of the more powerful V8s with 450-500+ HP. Generallly you're paying for the sound combined with maybe 1-2 seconds off your 0-60 time.
Stupid thread. Can we go a month without someone posting a dumb thread about what is the "point" of certain cars?
You want to know the point,OP? It's because they sell. There's a market for them, and that's all you need to know. Same goes for slow, piddly little econoboxes with good gas mileage. There's a market for them too.
I really don't like Indian food. But, there are many Indian restaurants in my city because, hey, there's a market for it and lots of people like Indian food.
Man, CD seems to be inundated with a lot of ridiculous threads lately.
Who says these owners obey the speed limit at all times?
Cars like the Lamborghini Aventador or Ferrari 458 aren't brought for their power. Theyre brought for their styling and name.
I've driven a rental Toyota corolla and it's all you need really. It's got enough power to merge, it's got a radio, keyless entry, comfortable seats, quiet interior, easy steering etc pretty much all you need. But I'll still drive a BMW M5 or something similar over that anyday.
It may have all you need, it has nothing I need or want. I'll keep pedalling if someone tried to give me any Corolla.
It's the need for speed, especially when you're behind some slow poke holding up traffic, you can zip out around them and back into your lane before that speedster coming the opposite way having the same slow poke situation.

And this affects you how? Why do you care what they buy or how they use it? It's not coming out of your pocket, is it?
to the old man its pointless. to the young man its all about being loud fast and angry and aggressive.
