So you take a turbo'd car with about 1000hp and burn the tires off it. It that a sport? Ok, they can control thier car in a cloud of smoke.
Big deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Someone explain this to me.

I had a conversation with a Honda fan. He was of the idea that the Boxster handled poorly compared to the S2000 because it didnt drift nearly as well since the tires were wider and had more understeer.

I dont understand the zeal people have to buy a car with no torque or grip and throw all that money at it, when they could just buy an old 911 go twice as fast as most modern "muscle" or japanese cars and still have mostly stock parts.

Then again sometimes style really appeals to that sub-culture, maybe the way their car looks makes up for the engine and handling.
