They are not made to do 120, the extra power is to get you up hills without much problem. How you use that power elsewhere is your problem.

In the case of Sports cars it is just to satisfy your ego that you have a way to expensive car that you can't do much with. I LMAO for days when I went to Honolulu Hawaii for a job and they where renting lamberginis, mustangs, corvetts, ect... and the Speed limit around the whole Island (2.5hour drive at 35mph!!) averages 40mph. Even the highways are 50mph. By the time you get that beast into second gear you driven around the island!!! It is all about ego. Nothing more nothing less. Has little to do with getting from point A to point B quicker.
