Why do people want a fast car?
I don't get it. The highest speed limit i have seen is 70 so you can push 80-85 and thats abt it.
Also what does racing another person accomplish? Maybe i am missing something. |

People want a fast car because fast cars are fun. Whether you take them to a track and really stretch their legs or whether you just want to get to the speed limit as fast as you can, it's just fun. Some people want fast cars just to say they have a fast car. I don't need a Ford GT, but I sure do want one.

Have you ever driven or been in a fast car under full throttle?
Smashing down on the go pedal and being pushed into your seat is just an awesome feeling. |

For some reason the 'pizza boy' quote was the first thing that came to mind. To answer your question though, I think it's just the internal instinct of a car guy. To me, it's not really about having a FAST car (hence why I bought a BRZ) but I do like the idea of taking something ordinary, and making it perform extraordinary. In terms of buying a car that is already fast, I think that it goes a bit beyond just the capable speed. The idea that a car can go above and beyond normal performance characteristics interests me. |

Penis compensation.
In all serious I'm a fan of "more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" but I get the appeal of breaking the highest local speed limit in under 6 seconds. Lots of people love an easy thrill from crappy tv shows to fast food to V8's to hookers to angry birds to drugs, who are you to judge? Different strokes and all that jazz, the guys who look at sports cars and say "can't fit very much in that." or "mileage must be terrible" and you look back and think "how does he stay awake on his commute without amphetamines?" walk a mile in his shoes and then you'll be a mile away and have his shoes. |
