I got an issue with this common trope about fast cars bought only by clueless folks who compensate their messed up childhood or rather small body parts in some way.
Have you guys actually properly driven (ideally on track) proper race-ish car? Porsche has several models which are kind of you can take on normal roads for long drives and drive race track with great success/fun. Basically 911s above 400 hp with rear wheel drive or best caymans. Not many in that category and price levels. Actually typical american muscle car is more in the 'doesn't make sense' category since whole added value is just straight line performance, not overall driving quality. Maybe too european view but definitely common.
They might be minority in terms of sales, but those folks are out there. And they drive new models too.
