and Im serious, prove to me how they are harmful to society. This is step #1 before you can even consider any action to take.
btw, why do you go to the track? Its harmful to society.
If you didn't attack me then so be it.
Costs to society include increased gas consumption of not just the halo car but every car slotted near it. E.G. since the Z06 has 505, the ZR has to have a lot more to justify it's price tag and if we want to make the base Vette desirable, it has to have 400hp. In order to generate those sorts of peak HP's, fuel economy has to be sacrifice at all rev ranges and gears outside of overdrive/tall gear.
Assuming that it crashes at high speed, let's say north of 120/130, how much more damage, debris does it cause?
What about other motorists who are hit. What sort of damage is caused by a 70-80mph car as opposed to a 120-130mph car?
Lastly, this more to do with consumer choice and the allure of high HPs. In this current world of limited petroleum reserves in the hands of unstable or unfriendly nations, should the goal/desire be more these sorts of cars?
You're right about me doing trackdays. It's definitely hypocrisy on my part but I can still ask the question.
Two feet.
