Sports cars, mainly suitable for urban commuting, can also be used for 'Pai Sai' when needed. 'Pai Sai' = road racing, which is the colloquial term for road racing motorcycles. They feature fully enclosed fairings, and the riding posture (upper body) is almost lying on the fuel tank, hence the name 'Pai Sai'. Street racers do not have fairings or only have a small fairing in the headlight area, and the riding posture (upper body) is relatively upright. More related information is as follows: 1. V-twin motorcycles: V-twin motorcycles are closer to racing bikes, with high low-end torque, low center of gravity, and strong acceleration, but their handling and maintenance are not very suitable for beginners. They are more suitable for those with some road racing experience. The commonly seen VFR400 30th edition in China is generally not in good condition. However, the VTR1000 is definitely a top-tier superbike. 'V' stands for V-twin. 2. CBR: The most classic series in road racing motorcycles, 'CBR' stands for 'Competition Bike Racer'. It features an inline 4-cylinder water-cooled engine, suitable for non-professional riders to control, with products ranging from 250cc to 1100cc.

I used to be a racing enthusiast, fascinated by high-performance sports cars since childhood. What people commonly refer to as 'pa sai' is actually the colloquial term for supercars or hypercars, like Lamborghini or Ferrari. These cars are incredibly fast, with roaring engines that get your blood pumping, making you feel like the whole world is flying by when you drive them. However, owning one is no easy feat: their fuel consumption is astonishingly high—filling up the tank might not even get you 100 kilometers before you're back in line at the gas station; maintenance costs are steep, with major repairs often running into thousands or even tens of thousands; the seats are uncomfortably hard, leaving you sore after long drives. Parking is another headache, as many mall spaces are too narrow to fit these cars. In short, supercars are dream cars, but for daily commuting, a regular sedan is far more practical—safety and comfort matter more. A track day here and there to experience the thrill is enough; don’t get greedy and drive one regularly.

As a seasoned auto repair professional, I often get asked what 'supercars' are. Simply put, they're the top-tier hypercars like Bugatti or McLaren. The mechanical complexity of these vehicles is staggering: their V8 or V12 engines are precision-engineered to accelerate to 300-500 km/h in an instant. However, they're prone to cooling system issues, with engine overheating at high speeds being a common occurrence. Just replacing a single tire can cost over ten thousand dollars, and brake discs wear out rapidly, requiring inspection every 2,000-3,000 kilometers. I advise owners to pay extra attention to road conditions, testing these cars on smooth highways rather than rough terrain that could damage the undercarriage. The maintenance costs are exorbitant – you're better off choosing a hybrid for peace of mind.

I once drove a supercar my friend rented, knowing it's the hypercar type, and sitting inside made me feel like a big star. The handling was incredibly sharp, with a powerful surge at the press of the accelerator, but the practicality was abysmal: the fuel consumption was ridiculously high, with a full tank barely lasting a short trip; the interior was hard and bumpy over speed bumps, making passengers carsick; the space was so cramped it couldn't even fit a suitcase, making trips inconvenient. The insurance bills always gave me a shock, with premiums alone costing as much as a regular car. My advice: don't impulsively buy one—just rent it for a test drive to get your kicks. You'll regret commuting with it, and the parking fees are exorbitant too.

As a car owner, I see supercars as those high-end sports cars that are fast but come with high risks. Extra caution is needed when driving: rapid acceleration after startup can easily lead to loss of control and accidents; driving in rainy weather or congested streets is even more dangerous, as the braking system may not respond in time. Maintenance costs are high, with a single oil change and service costing several thousand. Safety first—it's advisable to install a dashcam and control your speed. Before driving fast, make sure the road conditions are good, and don't blindly pursue thrills.
