The fact that it needs to be open means 99% of people can't be there, which includes 98% of 500 HP car owners.

99% of people aren't there, it's a sunny afternoon on a mountain road.

You're missing the point. 98% of drivers drive cars they don't need and never experience fully. If driving on an open road on a sunny Sunday afternoon was the average motivation for such a car they'd all be stuck in traffic.

It's the same argument behind pickups, really.
