...All the cars I listed are "limited" in some fashion, government policy or otherwise. What are those fashions?

Think of any possible way, when I'm drawing up plans for a GTR, how I could keep it out of the hands of someone who isn't able to handle its capabilities.

ANY car that you buy from the dealership can break the speed limit - even a Jetta TDI. Almost every car that you can buy privately can break the speed limit as well, provided that they aren't half broken down. There are NO price controls on purchase price based upon the car's performance abilities alone - not one.

Registration costs are not involved with the federal government at all. They are local county costs, and have nothing to do with the performance capabilities of the car - simply based on the age and taxable value of the vehicle. They have no effect on controlling the driving habits of individuals, nor were they ever intended to.

Insurance costs are not related to regulation by the federal government based upon the capabilities of the car. The federal government does not even require you to have insurance on your car. Insurance is mandated in GA at a state level - and if you use your car on public roads. Track-only cars do not typically have insurance or registration at all, as it is not required. Insurance companies charge rates on what they perceive the risk is, not from any federal table of cost to performance capability.

Limited production runs? Really? Those are controlled by the manufacturer, and have nothing to do with any regulations. They are solely marketing methods to generate the most profit for the manufacturer. Did you even take Economics 101?

What you listed isn't even remotely related to government regulations and laws in keeping people from breaking laws....

Private property does not have to be inside your garage. It can be on any non-public road, field, farm, etc. Race cars, tractors, farm trucks, etc, are usually not registered or tagged, or driven on public roads - and you can speed as much as you like on private property.

I never claimed there was a federal restriction on performance vehicles with regards to price. Did you read too much into the analogy? What about it confused you?
Re-read your statements. Everyone else has already seen your error.

And all guns should be treated the same way. It shouldn't be as easy as it is for a criminal to get one.

Are you saying that you did not say the above?
