Practical Reasons for Why Everybody In the World Should Own a Sports Car #BlogPost

Driving is a liberating sense that makes us feel free out on the open road. Driving is bliss that makes us enjoy the scenery around us and gives us time to relax. Driving is so much more than going from one point to another; it is about the segment that is between those two points, which is filled with curves, straights, and stop signs. Driving is building a personal bond with a car as both of you stick together through sunny days as well as rainy days and the occasional snowy day.

Driving, then, can be made even more fun with sports cars. Imagine a world where everybody had a sports car. Yes, some people would not like that idea, but I would like to explain the practical reasons why everybody in the world should own a sports car.

It Would Save Lives

Short braking distances are excellent for emergency braking, which is essential to avoiding crashes.
Short braking distances are excellent for emergency braking, which is…

Sports cars are made to brake well; this is possible because of them having larger brakes, stickier tires, and lower weight than traditional passenger cars. The shorter braking distances that result from these are important in daily driving. For example, if one is driving and somebody is in the road, one has to use emergency braking to him/her. This is where the shorter braking distance comes into play; one is able to stop and swerve out of the way in less time and in less of a distance in a sports car than one is in a traditional car. The same idea can apply to two cars in how one can use emergency braking to swerve out of a car’s way, saving both drivers in the process from an accident.

Driving sports cars would also allow people to drive, as a whole, faster, which is actually safer than driving slower. People are safest while driving when they are driving in the same direction and at the same speed, and since everybody would be going faster in sports cars, the higher uniform speed would allow for everybody to be more safe.

This would also make raising the speed limits more plausible and more safe; since people currently drive at the speed they believe is safe given such conditions as the weather and the road (which is sometimes over the speed limit), raising the speed limit allows for driving safely to be legal. On the highway, raising the speed limit means that those who go in the passing lane that would normally go over the posted limit while everybody is obeying such a limit would then be driving legally and not have to worry about speeding. Those who drive at the speed limit would go into the left lane, while those who drive a bit slower would stay in the other lanes. Faster driving would allow for people to get to school, work, or events faster, and as a result, the time for a commute is reduced.

As a result, people driving in sports cars would be driving more safely than they would in a typical car.

Better Technology Would be Available

Forward Collision Warning is a safety device that, when combined with the anti-lock braking system, keeps people safe.

Sports cars, especially newer ones, have technology that is meant to make them faster and benefit the driver at the same time. Some devices, such as the anti-lock braking system, are meant to keep the driver safe. In ABS’s case, it prevents the car’s wheels from locking up and causing the car to uncontrollably skid by pulsing the brakes. This system can be used in tandem with the Forward Collision Warning, which helps the car slow down in the case that the car ahead suddenly slows down. These innovations contribute to the argument that sports cars are safer than traditional cars, especially in how sports cars are typically gifted with more advanced technology.

Not only can technology provide valuable assistance when it comes to a driver’s safety, but it is also important in how it is convenient to the driver. Rear-view cameras provide valuable assistance with backing up, especially in cars that have limited rear visibility, and front-view cameras are also utilized to help one park. Such technology is capable of assisting the driver in checking for any objects or people around the car and keeping the driver safe; these technologies, being in sports cars, are able to make sports cars safe, convenient, and fast.

More Jobs would be Created

Working on these cars would be more interesting than working on boring beige sedans.

Whenever sports cars stop working properly, one has to call a mechanic. With every car being a sports car, however, many cars would break down. This necessitates the need for more mechanics; due to this, there would be more jobs created in the automotive industry for mechanics. Not only would there be more jobs for mechanics, there would also be more jobs for everybody in the automotive industry. Those people who would work on designing, engineering, and marketing passenger cars would be working on sports cars, improving their safety, fuel economy and emissions, technology, and, above all, performance.

To learn how to drive these cars, more performance driving schools would be opened, and more jobs in manufacturing would open because of there being a need to produce components. More race tracks would be created as weekend venues for entertainment, meaning that paving and construction companies would have more jobs to create the tracks. More dealerships would open up to sell such cars, and more salespeople would be hired to sell such cars. If such a world of sports cars existed, many fields would benefit from an increase in jobs.

Parts Would be More Available

If everybody owned a sports car, the limited-production parts on such cars would be produced more, allowing any repair costs to be reduced.
If everybody owned a sports car, the limited-production parts on such cars…

Sports cars sometimes have parts that are obscure and require limited production. With there being many sports cars, such parts would be standardized, lowering the costs for production and the cars’ costs. Since these parts would be manufactured more and be, as a result, more available, replacement parts would be less expensive, meaning that repair costs could decrease. If these costs decrease, then it could be possible that insurance costs would decrease.

The automotive aftermarket would also be benefited by this. Whatever parts are discontinued or unavailable could be supplied in the form of aftermarket parts as replacements for damaged or worn parts. In addition to this, those who want to customize their sports cars would be able to through accessories; since there would be more sports cars made, there would be more accessories for these sports cars, meaning that the aftermarket could be more lucrative than before as a result.

Driving Would be More Important and Fun

Whee!
Whee!

Mazda believes that “driving matters” for a good reason: it gives people a journey to the destination they so seek. Such cars are important to society because they teach the importance of the driver to the driving experience. Sports cars teach one to drive well, be it a standard or an automatic, and they teach the importance of driving. Their jolly handling characteristics, perky power output, and intriguing technologies are testaments to the pursuit of automotive excellence, which prove the automobile’s significance and driving’s importance to the one behind the wheel.

Since these cars are meant to be fun, more cruises would be taken to relax with the engine humming away. Some people would want to drive these cars to their limits with the engine growling to the redline, with weekend track days becoming more common and more attended. Others may want to depict these cars’ beauties through art and writing. Ultimately, people would want to spend time with their cars if they were sports cars as more than a utilitarian tool, with the car being an extension of one’s capabilities, a representation of oneself, and a companion to one.

But if everyone had a sports car, would that make reqular cars more desirable as they would be more rare? 🤔 (Also props and no, im not stalking you, im just all over ct at the moment)

Imagine if a Toyota Prius sold for as much as a Ferrari 250 GTO!

But if everyone were to drive a sportscar, it would become the norm and it wouldn’t be as exciting anymore :/

That’s what I thought. That would be the biggest flaw

Not as exciting, but still much more exciting than a non sports car

Cody's Car Conundrum

This is a good article man!

But sadly there is one reason why not everyone can drive a sportscar…….. tons and tons of people simply can’t handle them, if some people can barely handle their Camry than how do we expect them to handle something with 425 or more HP? This is where a stricter driving test would come in very handy…… and that would stop the amount of bad drivers hitting the road………….

Maybe this could work out after all!

To be fair I test drove a c3 desire once for a lady friend and it was absolutely terrifying. Those budget tires, cheap French brakes and a chassis that made it feel like it had been baked in a kitchen combined to make it one of the most dangerous cars I ever drove. It frightens me today that some old biddy is probably driving it right now. I sincerely hope she bought an M3 instead.

The thing that I like most about this proposition is that people who don’t enjoy driving enough would be filtered out (as they use public transport instead), meaning fewer distracted/idiot drivers :D

Sadly the U.K. Insurance does not agree with this,at least not for younger drivers but maybe in older drivers (about early 30’s) to gain the experience of owning a Sports Car…

A great read!

You wrote a good article. However, this is a topic that can be effectively debated by the opposing side as you’ve seen. This phenomenon happened to me when I said manuals are overrated

There are quite a few points in here you make based on assumptions, some of which might not be entirely true. A lot of what you say seems to be about a snowball effect. “If everyone did this, then this would happen, and then this.”

“Whenever sports cars stop working properly, one has to call a mechanic. “ This is assuming that everyone has zero mechanical aptitude themselves.
“With every car being a sports car, however, many cars would break down.” This is assuming that everyone is driving sports cars hard and ones that aren’t very reliable.

While I like the idea and the amount of effort into writing on the topic, I completely disagree, I can’t see any way these would actually play out this way. Regardless, nice post!
