Im actually a bit over this post myself. Their is alot of factors into buying a car, and the XR6T met most of our members needs exactly. I am sure most members did not buy it to race little cars. We wanted the comfort, the ability to carry extra people, reliability, safety all the stuff the cheaper imports just dont have. If i really wanted a car to beat others, I would have bought a 12 second rotary or something else for $5,000 and invested the other $50,000 on modifying it, which is what most "ricers" do. I know I used to be one.. had a $55,000 mirage.. Realistically thought you get what you pay for, and speed isnt the only factor.. Meet me on a race track when i get my Herrod mods done. Ill show you who is boss in car double the weight of yours.. B)
