I think because they're boats. Really soft suspensions, I drove one not
too long ago, and it's true. The thing has a great motor, and if it had
a suspension to match, it'd be a great autoxer. But in stock form, I
felt it was too soft. Perhaps with some really super duper snazy JRZ
shocks it might wake up a bit.

From what I've seen, a few of the hot shoes will hop to different cars
because they either A) can afford it, or B) already have the second car.
I know of at least one Nationally competitive Neon driver who's moving
into a Type R and selling his ACR.
