bc racecar

seriously though, because it makes driving an X5 feel like driving a conversion van

Honestly, cheap high performance, I'm not talking about speed and power. We all know the twins are slow. We do know it's a relatively cheap rwd car. And sir, that's my answer. Cheap.

Looks and the just the feeling of driving. The build quality pretty much sucks but...it's a racecar so rattles and squeaks are normal right? Lol

The car makes cool noises when I step on the gas pedal and I feel fast when I go around turns with no one in front of me.

When i get nauseous from taking a corner to fast
Painting black stripes at will
Awesome throttle response
Easy to modify - work on yourself
It's like a more comfortable, cheaper Lotus

In my opinion.. this is a $60k+ chassis.

You'd have to spend that much to get another car that has such an amazing chassis. I think the Cayman (or maybe the Alfa 4c coming soon) is the next lowest priced chassis that has such a low Center of Gravity, excellent weight distribution, overall light weight, and rigidity.

You can buy any number of poorly designed chassis with powerful motors and spend huge money modifying them to try to handle well. But they'll never be quite as good as buying a perfect chassis and simply adding some power.

I'd rather spend $25k on a perfect chassis and add some minor tweaks and some power as needed than to buy any front wheel drive car (civic, an econobox racer (Evo, STI, Focus ST, ), a heavy muscle car (mustang, camaro, challenger).

This car is comfortable and efficient (33.8mpg manual calculated). It handles outstanding and accelerates better than average. It is ridiculously good looking, and fits my guitar equipment!
Edit. Insurance is cheap and Im 21, buying price was reasonable too
What is better than a DD that hits every mark???

I like seeing the fenders through the windshield.

I'm a man of simple pleasures.

Yes:

[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maserati_Tipo_61"]Maserati Tipo 61 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

Porsche wasn't first with this styling idea.

Note that the Maser was powered by a 3.0 four cylinder engine developing 150bhp...
Cathump, cathump cathump but with the light weight body it was a screamer..

Note also that the Tipo 60 predecessor had a 2 litre four developing 200 bhp and that was a race engine.

I nail the seatbelt input without looking on the first try surprisingly often.
