And it should probably require a breathalyzer pass to enable the fast mode!
That performance in a road car would be mental. However, you can still manage it quite well - there are supercars (and highly modified street cars) that can pull similar numbers, and you don't immediately die when driving them so long as you have the experience. Having breath lockouts and such is almost offensive to the sort of people who can handle these sorts of vehicles.
I'd be more inclined to suggest a buyer preselection system, or at least offer in-house driver training.
One need only look at Youtube for videos of what happens when normal people try out their new overpowered toys.
b: an automobile with an open body that seats two and has a folding fabric top and often a luggage compartment or rumble seat in the rear
This seats four and thus isn't a roadster...Also why no RWD version? I feel like they are way more fun to drive. Not like I can afford one anyway let alone buy it.
At the end of the day, a roadster of that price is at minimum a second car and more than likely just an expensive toy. Make it fun.
If it were about fun, they would have produced something about like a Miata :).
Two words: Snap Oversteer
The thing would have so much power and torque - with the drivetrain weight over the rear wheels - that a RWD variant would probably be scary.
