Oh noes a car with a 50/50 weight distrubition and was built for handling lost in a STRAIGHT LINE? And unless you're in an SRT-6, that means 1 of 2 things, the guy is a tool, and has no idea how to drive, or he's smart, and was just messing with you, or maybe you're a tool and though the was actually going to spend the time to race you
The thing I don't get is, you bow down to the Twin turbo 7, and a single turbo 13b, what about a single turbo 8? (It's 13b btw.)
The car has enough horse-power to keep your attention on the on ramps and straight aways, but it's all about the twisties.
And even if the Xfire was faster than the 8, who cares? Since when did speed alone purely make one car better than the other. I happen to think the 8 if more fun to drive than the Xfire, that for me was a pretty big selling point. Thankfully the 8 is faster and drives better, so I can't complain
I fail to see how straightline performance makes one car better than the other. Unless we're talking about Hot Wheels cars, because then you also have to take the looks into consideration, every tried to go around a corner in one of those things? They always flipped over when I tried
