The obsession over these numbers and the perceived competition between total strangers truly baffles me. Again, I'm being completely honest. Not taking some forum high ground here, I promise.
This (or if I could fit in one, an mr2, s2k, miata...) is a fun little collection of parts. I read this stuff and I feel like I'm missing something.

My frustration is how the numbers get manipulated to try and prove a point. I agree that being faster or slower than a minivan really doesn't matter. If people think that minivans are so fast they should go buy a minivan (in fact buy lots of Chrysler ones please) but when numbers that disprove this statement are presented then whole new sets of stats get invented.
Never ceases to amaze me how the 200HP and the torque dip numbers can be put out there to show how slow it supposedly is without dispute but as soon as numbers that show it isn't as slow as claimed appear then they must be wrong or distorted in some way so can't be true at all.
If people are getting beat by minivans then the car is not the issue.
