while that is true, we already have cheaper, slower cars. i dont see the draw to a more expensive slower car. which is a shame because im sure im not the only one who grew up lusting after the mkiv.

It's not that hard to have a lower cog than the frs and 50/50 weight distribution isn't that big a deal since the car is usually moving when it matters so the weight will be shifting around anyway.
