Almost all track cars are currently (or started as) street cars. Amateur track days are really pretty popular these days.

Sports cars are made for motorsports. Always have been.

Yes, some people drive sports cars to the mall, and never race. Some people drive trucks in the mall and never tow anything. I wear running shoes to the mall and walk the whole time. Just because a handbrake lever is there doesn’t mean you have to pull it while you’re driving. I’m sure even your car will break the speed limit.

The vast, vast majority of people that own sports cars do not take their cars to the track.
So what? The world would be a sad place if bare minimum utilitarianism was required for all aspects of our life.

Nice things should be allowed to exist for the people who are responsible enough to enjoy them. If people break the law, then they should be punished. If they don’t, they shouldn’t.
