fast cars

A:nulcear jet engine on a car.

A:There are places you can go fast. They make them better because they can.

A:I don't mind people speeding and such if they do it semi-responsibly. If it's late at night and you want to gun it and hit triple digits then cool. I've done it before in my car. If it's 6:30 PM and there is mild traffic and you're blowing past people at 95 when traffic is flowing at 70 then you're being an idiot.

A:They're all basically bankrupt. They desperately need money. It turns out, people will pay money for a car that goes faster than 55 mph. If you were dictator of a totalitarian state, you could dictate that everybody had to drive a car that would only go 55. If people didn't like it, you'd shoot 'em. But it's pretty hard for a business to get away with that. So GM and Ford don't have the option of forcing people to take what they produce. GM could have gotten away with that, frankly, in 1955. But not now.

A:No: I think is safer having a responsive car, "fast" cars accelerate, corner and brake better. Yes: Stupid people won't see you. Cops will try to ticket you even when you're not speeding. Insurance is diabolical, even if your driving record is spotless. Irresponsible stupid kids will want to race you.
