Is that any less logical than owning a vehicle than can drive 2-3X over any legal speed limit?

  One you can actually do, so yeah.

  That's for fuel efficiency and acceleration. You wouldn't want to constantly redline your engine.

  You can take any car to a racetrack and drive as fast as you like for a couple of hundred dollars per event. You can even get professional instruction. https://www.scca.com/pages/scca-track-events https://www.scca.com/pages/scca-track-events

    those events do not let you go as fast as you like. there ARE some events that do but its a really bad idea in a car with no cage and safety equipment. I've done it of course.

      I've found that my stomach for speed is inversely proportional to how fast I'm allowed to go. I'm not sure I have the stones to go fast enough to need a roll cage on a race track.

        you don't need the stones, just the money! Seriously though, check out 24 Hours of Lemons. We race in it. Its the best!

    You can also be dropped on Mars with a pressurized Tesla. Most people would put 'buying access to a track' into the 'things I will never do'-box.

      It's a fairly common past time for people interested in fast cars. It's comparable in price to a day skiing.

        Same goes for off-roading. Luckily I live like an hour away from a big parc in Germany so my 1982 Range Rover can enjoy his natural environment at least a couple of times! Logically totally useless, but hell of fun!

      There's a small track I can get on for $35, tho I won't hit triple digits. Track nights can be as low as $125 and you will hit triple digits. But yea, $125 is equally as out of reach as being dropped on Mars.
