Supercars

[Laconian]

Having three seats is a tacit acknowledgement that F1 owners are likely to bring home more than one supermodel at a time. They are practical.

And conscious of the environment, too. Having to make a second trip to pick up your other girlfriend has to be a little burdensome at the gas pump.

You guys clearly haven't seen Batman Begins.

(I couldn't find the scene in English, but you get the point.)

Actually, I don't think true supercars should have any extra seats at all. They should just have the driver's seat. Passengers are just compromises, they add weight and distract you. True supercars would never include such things.

That reminds me when I was learning to auto-x. I was fast, but this one track I couldn't perfect. I asked a heavy set instructor to ride with me. He said fine, warned me that my times would be slower, and the car would handle way off due to the extra weight. I ignored him and come a few laps later we pitted. Sure as shit, he did help my lines/brake points, but the car wouldn't corner for shit with his 250lb ass next to me. Tripped me out the first time.

Don't know how he fit into that 914 of his.

As a counterpoint, I found that having a 100-110lb female in the passenger seat in an autocross tended to balance the car out perfectly, making it easier to go faster. Of course the possible attempts to impress may have helped as well...

I didn't read any posts except the first one, but I agree with that one. And I must add one thing: If there was the invention of a time machine I'd travel back to 1955 and buy a Mercedes 300 SL and hammer that baby over the empty Autobahnen with 260 km/h. Nobody would even go half as fast as I go. Now that's a supecar!

  Anything to get up a girls skirt. It gives any man superpowers and I hope it worked for you.
