Yeah, I get clowns wanting to race me all the time in the rally car and I always agree on one condition.....I get to pick the road (gravel with lots of twistys)

You can teach a chimp to drag race, so straight line performance doesn't really blow my kilt up at all. The most fun cars I've driven are a Ferrari 355 and a Lotus Elise (Series 1), they both handled like go karts, but the Ferrari handled like a grossly overpowered one......

The Elise is like a scalpel on wheels....very precise, but lots of finesse required.

Muscle cars have their place (for cruising) but not in racing anywhere but in the 1/4 mile
