you camry is NOT nor is it marketed as a fun RWD sports car
the miata IS
tell me this Batman......Is there a car enthusiast out there with a slower car who would say no to better brakes? better wheels/tires for improved handling
and more herspers for some increased vroom vroom
or will they say NO WAY! it'll ruin my fun to drive feels man!  |
Yep. I f'ed up my Miata making it track worthy. It was terrible at being a daily and lost all of its fun. My GTI is on Michelin All Seasons because it's a GTI, not a Chiron. People think magazine numbers mean something and they're just wrong. Fun is sliding, surprise oversteer and occasional oh shit moments. Removing those things is fine for the track but no fun on the streets.
Every Tesla is quicker than my GTI, so is a GTR or even a G63. But I wouldn't trade for any of them. My car is fun. Theirs are not. Numbers are for suckers.
I'm likely getting a Caterham for a track car. It won't be the fastest thing, but it will be fun and challenging. Mistakes will be my fault, not some computer or awd system.
