    I’m an enthusiast with no kids (and a vasectomy to make sure it stays that way) and I’ve driven both around a track. Glad to have done it once, but I’m not in any hurry to do it again. Wouldn’t buy either one over my Miata.

    Supercars are vastly overrated.

      Yeah, that’s my thought, though I have a kid. Doesn’t really matter if I just want to rent one to have fun driving for a bit (other than if she’d find it cool to ride in one). Would be fun for a bit and then a huge liability to own one. Especially with how much attention they’d get. You’d get random butt prints from assholes taking pictures with it, not to mention some others driving nearby will get more aggressive when they see what you’re driving, making accidents more likely. Not to mention everything about it will be very expensive.

      And, at least based on video games, you’d barely ever get out of 1st or 2nd gear in normal driving unless you want to risk getting it seized (or worse) for excessive speeding.

      Also, make one mistake with the throttle and a video of you spinning into a curb or something could go viral if it’s one of the rear drive supercars.
