Except that that's not necessarily true, either. This year, at the national
level, BS, DS and GS tended to have new cars at the top. Most of the top
cars in all other stock classes were at least 3-5 years old -- at the
3d-place car in ES was a 14-year-old CRX.

There is no such thing as a sure thing. And how do you know the Type R is
the hot car for '00? Everyone's drooling over Celicas now....
Run the Corrado and put the money into seat time.
