well my first impression is that people who care about perfromance dont give a shit about fuel economy. Maybe its just me but I seriously never look at gas prices or gas milage or any of that shit. I dont make much money but the difference between my sister's tercel and my LS2 GTO is about 40 bucks a week in gas....40 bucks! thats chump change, I spend more then 40 bucks a day on food man. so Yeah I think guys that drive fast cars dont really car about MPG.
Secondly. Dude get serious, you think the guys buying the Ferrari or the Lambo is gonna care about gas prices? If he can afford the car I think he can afford the gas.
Ok I like you also think the supercar thing is abit over reached but I dont hate on them or try to take away glory like I think you are attempting.
I think your trying to strike at and angle that no one really considers important.
example:
The guys buying the Minivans dont care about 1/4 mile times.
The girls who buy convertibles dont care about handling.
People who buy Yaris or Fits dont care about horse power.
so yeah no one cares about MPGs in a supercar and therefore your argument is absolutely meaningless.
I think you have to drive an exotic to trully understand the exotic. Its like my secretary, she dosent understand why me and my friends are so speed crazy so I told her, "your just gonna have to strap in one of these days and see what its like in order to get it".
All my associates who have Austin Martins and Ferraris and Porschas only drive them once or twice a week. the Exotic is a toy not a means of transportation....get it?
