Cars that can reach those speeds are made for speeding only. Over 10,000 deaths occur per year in the USA due to excessive speed. I don't understand why anyone other that professional car racers would need a car that could go that fast. Can a car nut please explain this to me?

well there is a practical purpose to a car, it is a means of transportation.
the speed limit is not absolute, some places you can safely go faster so some flexibility is in order.
some cars have speed chips, and i am pretty sure more of this technology is coming.
this is a different debate though, but if your objective is to save lives then it should be looked upon.
however it should not detract from the gun control debate.
