Sports cars on public roads are terrible anyhow. The fastest street-legal cars are laughably slow compared to purpose built racecars, and horribly uncomfortable on the street.

I say that even while enjoying my sporty TSX on public roads. It corners like a dream, but that comes at the expense of a firm suspension and noisy cabin. It's a compromise.
