I said Americans want to go fast in a straight line -- Look at NASA lol (huge exaggeration but come on, it was good) 200 miles in 4 minutes plz.
There are different strokes for different folks but we're seeing a lot of "you can't call a torqueless wonder a sports car" where its been proven and accepted that you can.
Just like we see a lot of (I'm guilty of this) "Torque monsters are only good for drag races". The driver dictates how to use the car, the car is a medium to do anything the driver wants. Thats something I forgot, and forget way to often. There are different cars with different strengths, but no one says the S2K can't be a drag king and no one said a Mustang can't be a track god.
And then theres people like you who will buy the best bargain, and then turn it into what he wants. Which is wonderful, but a lot of people including myself do not have the money or the time to spend on such projects so it would make sense to get it all in one affordable package, which the FT is offering us at the moment. Assuming they keep it light, and ~200bhp.

You original reply sounded like a generalization, which prompted my reply.

My wife drove our 6spd 350z daily to work.
The stigma about "chick car" is played out. Everything below a GTR is pretty much a chick car, and everything above a GTR that's a family sedan or luxury vehicle is a Soccer mom car.
Face it gentlemen, women have good taste.
