Supercars are Dumb

[G.Irish]

Here is the thing.
Supercars are not for us.
They arent for the track, and they arent for hooning.

They are like Lee's watches. A status symbol to show off your wealth, style, and status (on a larger scale, obviously) with just barely enough utility as to maintain plausible deniability that they arent pure jewelry.

Its almost cruel that it just so happens they also are perfect objects of lust for car guys like us.

I think in a way they are actually made for true driving enthusiasts, it's just that we can't afford them. If I were Ferrari/Lambo/McLaren/Porsche or whoever and I was making cars for rich poseurs, I wouldn't be making the cars that they are making.

Sure, I'd make them look sexy and all. But I would make something with a big ass engine with twin turbos pushing 800-1000 hp, turbo lag, heat soak, and drivability be damned. It would be set up to be soft as possible so the occupants can occasionally forget that they're traveling down the road in a vehicle. The traction control would be set up to only give full power in a straight line. While any steering angle is detected it would cut power to 200 hp. Naturally it'd be a convertible because rich poseurs don't care about chassis stiffness. It would have all the features you could get in a S class like massaging seats, a fragrance dispenser, and self parking. It would also have motorized doors and come with a carbon fiber golf club set.

I mean, why bother with all of the stuff to make these cars go fast around a racetrack when so many rich people don't care to do anything of the sort?

My car company would make the ultimate luxo speed barge, even more stupid than the Veyron. But the real money would be in extreme SUV's. Why do a 6x6 when you could make a stuper-SUV with 1000 hp and two rows of 4 tires to make a 10x10? It would make the Canyonero look like a RAV4 and you'd need a CDL to drive it. If you ever get stranded my company will send a heavy-lift helicopter to haul your SUV back to the dealership.
