Traction is part of the mix on how fast a car is. If a car is not capible of having traction then it is not fast. The FWD on the car is just as much as part of it as the engine.
If you can not get the power to the ground then what good is it? The low 15's to mid 13's are the times it runs, if it is crippled because of the fwd on the streets and on the track then that is part of the car and yes that does mean that is the times it runs.

Looks are subjective. The Crossfire is one of the most criticized cars when it comes to looks. You think we'd give some sympathy to a similarly received car.
That's a really random list of cars. Coblat SS (turbo) are monsters now, too.
In fact, you could easily present that same list to a Crossfire owner as to why they purchased their car.
