Doesn't make any sense to me. Why build a car that can go 250 MPH when the maximum speed limit is 70 in most parts of the USA.

Who needs to go 250 MPH anyway?

catering to fragile egos for profit.

but there are those who enjoy some high speed action on closed courses, thats not so much an ego thing but an adrenaline deal.

It is related to the size of the male sexual organ of those who buy these things.
And these cars allow a person to go from point A to point B in a very fast and expensive way, but without any meaningfull purpose.

Why do people want to climb Mount Everest...

I'm perfectly happy taking the ski lift up to go skiing...

Same is true with people that jump out of helicopters to go skiing off pristine powdered snow peaks...

Still, I'd like to own one just to have a race with the Po Po...

Because first you can't afford such car
The ones who can wont have to pay any tickets over driving above speed limit...

They can murder babies for their adrenochrome so it's not a speed ticket that will ever bother them...

You might be able to out run the po-po, but you cant outrun Motorola. They'll get you.
