308s and mondials aren't really that fast by any stretch of the imagination. But, like the crossfire, they are still cool cars. Owning either car isn't about speed or performance, but feel. Heck, compare the stock tire selection and size of a 308 versus any version of the crossfire.
Yeah, that's definitely true. The stock crossfire isn't really about blowning the doors off of anything. It's more about the personal enjoyment of getting behind the wheel.
What is the sense about bragging about you beat this or that car, its quite simple, a fast car gets beaten by a faster car. Taking those cars around a track may give you something to brag about, but only if you beat a driver as good as you in an equal performance car. Likewise at the drag strip.
In races like Le Mans we do not have the faster car drivers bragging about beating the slower class drivers.
Surely getting the best from a car is reward enough. Coming last in situations like this is no shame, crying about it is.
