Exactly. Jetski's are more fun. :

Besides, you call an EVO a buzz box and a GT and luxury family sports sedan. In comparison you could say an EVO is a rally bred sports car and a GT is a done up heavy family car. It's all about the perception you choose to take when looking at vehicles.

So you can tow a boat with a GT, you can actually get good track times (stock) in an EVO. It depends what you want in a car and what your values are. If you need to tow a boat, or take a family of 4-5 in comfort, of course you're going to look more towards a GT. But if it's just you and your mrs, or you want to have a bit more handling and actual racing ability, you might lean towards the EVO.

It's all about perception and needs. Granted, these comparissons aren't ever going to be great because they are different cars for different needs. But if FPV are going to keep building 'performance' cars, they need to face they fact that they'll go up against other performance cars, no matter the practicallity of the test. If they could beat an EVO around the track you'd hear everyone saying "how good is this FPV performance car", and because they can't, you hear "yeah - BUT but blah blah blah".

They're either a performance car of they aren't. If they are - they're going to get compared on performance against other performance cars. Of course they have different real world abilities, and I'm not saying they don't.
