Home and Auto Should cars that go 100+ mph be street legal?

When i first read this my initial reaction was, "**** you OP".

But honestly i can't think of a reason as to why a street car needs to go over 100mph in THIS country.

But that doesn't mean i support restricting them, because it's about a helluva lot more than going fast.

Sports cars are part of our culture, and getting rid of them would kill the automotive market. Just kill it. All your speed shops, parts manufactures, car clubs, local race tracks etc would be devastated.

Because while we sit here and go, "oh there should be cars for the track and cars for the street", the reality is that they are one in the same.

Most track cars started life as a street car and then it's enhanced to be track worthy.

And so, sure, if your car couldn't do 100mph it probably won't change anything about how you drive. But it would absolutely destroy car culture.
