why are sport cars generally a two seaters?
--- 897691742
>>897691699 (OP)
Because people that buy them have no family or friends

>>897691699 (OP)
Less weight = more speed

I dont drive a high lvl sportscar but I have an old BMW E85 Z4 (3.0i) in my garage.
1. feeling
2. positionig of the driver
3. weight
Driving a two seater in general is just a perfect feeling.
You are in the center of the car (perfect to keep the controll).
nothing can distract you (kids or drunk friends). .Just you, the steering wheel and the street.

Mclaren F1 was a 3-seater.

Do racers go out and race with a whole fucking family in the car? The second seat is most likely for the sake of convenience.
Your question is fucking stupid tbh.
--- 897692243
>>897692175
no, no way. It's with my own money, i have a job and my job would be way easier if i got a car.
--- 897692269
>>897692115
Your dad's a fucking retard. Buy the car and tell him to go fuck himself.

> " why are sport cars generally a two seaters? " ;
Sports motoring events, e.g. "rallying" typically require a driver plus a navigator, inside the car, to compete effectively.

I question your version of this story. There's got to be some detail you're leaving out. Why would your dad disown you for buying a two seated car?
--- 897692876
>>897692669
right not disown, but he said he won't talk to me and he'll be really angry. He likes family cars, while i don't.
im usually away from home, i work in another town and i live there, i visit on weekends. I have no friends and im alone most of the time.
Also, i can't work without a car, i mean i can, but it's really hard.

so were the matra murena and the matra bagheera. except, for some reason, both were left hand drive as opposed to... center hand drive.

The performance of the car comes down to power-to-weight ratio. Thats why a 80hp miata will beat a 300hp f150 on the track. You can also make the suspension more stiff since less weight and thus less power is used, planting the car more on the road, helping it deliver more power. Over all, the formula for a fast car is simple. The lighest vehicle you can build with the most power you can generate using the best systems to help the car put that power to the ground in all circumstances in a body that produces the least wind resistance.

Well explained, anon.

>>897692876
Well, if that's true, and you're not leaving out some important detail, your dad is overly controlling. His like of a more family style car shouldn't matter. He's not living your life.
Now, if you have plans on starting a family of your own, your two seater isn't going to work out so well.
--- 897693996
>>897693445
this.
and you want to put weight right into the center and as low as possible.
therefore the engine typically is a mid-egine in supersports car and this limits space for a 2nd row of seats.
you can see that even in hatches where the engine is no more a real front engine but in a trans axle position.
you can easily see this when you have a look how much space is between dashboard and windscreen.

I once had a 2007 Z06 Corvette. I was at the mall and saw another one just like mine and I decided to park next to it. It had a baby seat strapped in the passenger seat. I wish I had taken a photo of it
