the car makes perfect sense! i am also considering the old 350z since there's probably hella deals on them right now.


That's a bit scary to hear, I seldom have need to go much north of 80, going over 120 on any public road with other traffic around is nuts.

Well you get a fast car to drive fast in it.
I hope you don't just look at it...

That has nothing to do with driving 145 on public roads. Buying a powerful sports car is not an excuse to go that fast on public roads, and it certainly isn't an excuse to put the lives of others at risk.

I certainly hope you aren't implying that if you buy the sports car and do not drive that fast on public roads, you are simply buying it to look at.

Of course not!
Who speeds on public roads?!

Rep points for safety. If I'm doing 100+mph its going to be on a track or closed environment.

Seriously?

It is incomprehensible that you are defending driving 145 on public roads, there is a massive difference between speeding and going over 100 let alone 145. I would love to hear a cohesive response from you justifying that excessive speed...
