so a 2l 4 pot that pulls 15.7 quaters is rubbish? wake up.

the AE86 was never fast in a straight line, nor were the celicas, nor is the mx5 nor is the rx8, but they are all excellent cars in their own right.

That's the point right there...unfortunately because of a few numbers on a page and a pre-concieved idea of what cars like this must be like, many people will refuse to even try one, or if they do they will only concentrate on quarter mile times and 0 - 100 numbers, forgetting that there is a whole slew of cars for which this just doesn't matter. There is such a thing as the experience as a whole that matters, not being blinded by POWER!!!

Coincidentally, I'm sitting typing this as a TV special on the old TVRs is on...they had motors like Ford 10 sidevalves and other equally "pitiful" engines like MGB motors and ford Kent engines...but jeez did they handle. "Not powerful but exciting", seemed to be the consensus.
