If you want to run against cars, mearly grin at the rice junk and wait for some real cars and challenges to come along.
German hand built, Japanese import with Checker auto and Pep Boys????
Not even a decission, be proud of what your driving.
Enjoy the Ride...

I fully understand your point. At the same time, not everybody purchased this car for its looks and luxury. I sure hope you're not tossing HDDP in this same group because he's running against Integras, RSXs, and whatnot. Please understand that once you take away the luxury trappings, those "rice" cars are unfortunately very competitive with the base Crossfire (and some of those "rice" cars have even more graceful handling, despite being FWD). And when they're heavily modded, that "rice" can be more than a match for the SRT-6's as well. While some may define a "real car", as you say, simply by its body panels, others would like to think that a "real car" only proves itself when dropping the hammer on the throttle.
BTW, my engine may be German, but my interior screams stereotypical American.
