The only way to combat this is to drive a classic car.
To our dismay, you are right.

I just do not understand why these companies don't put their focus into lightening the cars instead of add HP. The myriad of benefits you get from weight reduction far outweighs acceleration.

Maybe I should just get rid of my F90 and get that $100,000+ Imola E39 from EAG and drive the $hit out of it

Government regulations is why. Safety standards keep getting tougher. Mileage/emissions keep getting higher.

Lol... I know, crazy.

They have two Imolas, not sure what they're asking for the other one. I'm guessing over $100k
