Might be over your head Henry.

I understand what you're saying, but not entirely accurate.
Yes, can be frustrating at times, but, and here's the thing you can't measure.......those that can't, always try to. Those that know they can....well, they don't need to. For 'to' use, drive/handle/accelerate/perform etc.
There is also the real benefit that performance cars or their ilk, perform at legal speeds etc, with far greater reserves of safety than lesser cars. This is a by-product of things like their brakes, tyres, suspension. And reflects the R & D spend in them.
If ever there was a safety argument in favour of hi-po cars, that's it....
On another level, higher class cars also generally tend to be nicer places to be in. Whether it's the design, materials, technology, quietness - this is usually evident by being built to a spec, rather than to a budget....and these qualities are intangible, immeasurable.
Until you sit into an 'ordinary' car that is.........and the penny drops.
And, it's a fact, all cars on the market can exceed the speed limit, so technically, all cars are superfluous. But nothing is that simple, ever, is it ?Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Believe me, you dont have to break the law to enjoy an M5. It still has that lovely V8 growl when your doing 50kmh, and for some daft reason I get a real kick out of going around a 90 degree tight bend at 20mph in 6th gear, try that in a diesel (kidding, dont) I think bottom line is you either want a supercar or you dont, or maybe you do and she wont let you
