Remember, the people making fun of you for driving coupes drive average boring automatic CUVs, trucks, and sedans made for the elderly because they are scared of standing out lest someone make fun of them.
Peak hp/tq, price, and badges are all they've got because they are too scared to even redline a gear.
"Those who can, do. Those who can't make fun of those who do." Don't you ever forget that, kids.
