States With The Most Sports Cars

iSeeCars.com researchers say that due to cost and the "impracticality'" of sports cars, owning one is a reality for just 2.5 percent of U.S. drivers. Its researchers analyzed over 200,000 vehicle sales to determine which states have the most and least sports cars on the road - as well as which sports car is most popular by state.

Here's a look a the Top 10 states by share of sports cars on the road:

1. Nevada  - 4.0%  
2. Arizona - 3.6%  
3. Florida - 3.5%
4. California - 3.3%
5. Texas - 3.2%
6. Georgia - 3.0%
7. New Mexico - 2.9%
8. North Carolina - 2.9%
9. South Carolina - 2.8%
10. Alabama - 2.7%

Unsurprisingly, the study found that states with the most sports cars typically have moderate climates. States with harsh winters had the least sports cars. (Think Northern, Rocky Mountain, and Midwestern states.)
