Essentially banning sport cars. No one needs them. Plus when they look exactly like race cars, why would anyone want them on our streets?
For example, why would anyone need a 240z? To channel their inner John Morton? Looks identical, who cares about how it functions ect, it's not practical or efficient for transport.

Not worth it - we'd end up seeing more Honda Fits with aftermarket spoilers. That's just not good for society.
The Liberal's luxury tax on stuff over $100k might be a step in the right direction on this sort of thing, though in reality I think it's just symbolic and won't significantly influence consumer behaviour or generate much revenue. Coupes are probably a much smaller part of the problem than white collar guys driving F350s so they can pull a boat twice a year.
