the speed limit is 65 - 75 mph? (Is that it? In the US?)

Ok I can understand because of the look of the car, but why do car companies put really powerful engines in there? Why don't the set the limit at 80 mph? Wouldn't that solve problems? Or do people feel more loved when they know their car could go really fast?

Maybe people buy expensive sports cars as a sign of status?

Yeah, maybe people just want to look like a badass driving around. I've actually noticed most people drive slower, it's like they want you to take notice of their vehicle.

See this sports car thing is kinda like "Why do people buy computers with windows and neon lights"

Answer so they can show off to people who don't give a crap and inflate their ego and sometimes non-existant self esteem

Many people don't observe the speed limit, but you still have a point. No civilian in the U.S. really needs a car that can travel 150 mph or something like that.
