What's the point of buying an upper-end car if you can only go 60mph on the freeway, anyway?

Question

What's the point of buying a V12 super turbo charged whip if you can only go but 60mph at most?

just make yourself freeway "bait"?

Answer 1

because you can take it to the drag strip and play with it

Answer 2

this has been brought up a good many times... the awnser is acceleration and handling... sure its fun to go fast but its even more fun getting there.
For example would you take a car that goes 200mph but takes 1hr to get there or a car that does 120 and pushes you back into your seat.
and for handling, well some people like cars that can turn realy tight then accelerate out of the turn. Try it sumtime

Answer 3

After the 4th, Ky is going to raise the limits to 70, if that helps. There are other things with high-end whips other than the monster speed they are capable of. There is the acceleration, handling, fine interiors, and the styling. A lot of things to consider. If you can afford it, why not??

Answer 4

real good point,since the speed limit s around 65 at the most anyway it doesn't make very much sense to pay a lot for one of these cars,but it makes some people feel better knowing they have a car that will run that fast,as for me I'm happy with 44 miles to the gallon and doing the speed limit,i got rid of all my gas hogs except one,and its getting ready to go also,but it doesn't make any sense to have a car like this,good luck,hope this helps.

2012 is somewhat a techniques off. there is not any assure that any human beings will individually make it to 2011, much less on 2012. each and on a daily basis is a contemporary and must be our final in the international. The Christian realizes the certainty and that disaster is in simple terms around the nook.

Answer 6

do you always stay under the speed limit? i know i dont, i live out in the country where i take my car past 100mph on a regular basis.. i was goin 130mph in a 1990 stock buick regal to work just for fun. but by your question im guessing that your not a major gear-head so you probably just wouldnt understand i guess. oh ya and theres also the chicks = }

Answer 7

How many people with 763hp Benzs do you think actually do 60 on the freeway? That's right, 0.
