yeah, a car that probably costs in the millions is fast... but if you consider that a "fixed up 86"...

and yeah, if you go by track times, the twins are definitely not fast. In fact they are just about the slowest sports cars for their price. But that's not why they designed the twins, and that's not why you should buy a twin.

The problem is i think it's styled and marketed like a cheap porsche when it really is more like a miata.


I watch a bit of stock car racing and that is why I stay far, far away from Camrys driven by mom's kids.


I'm probably an old fart now, but if 10-15 years ago you wanna mod your uncle's family sedan, good luck to you.
