"Um...the buying public?  Would you rather have a car that can pull 0.9g but
pounds your fillings out in the process (84 Z51 for example), or one that
can pull 0.9g and knows how to soak up bumps without killing the occupants?
I guess that if you don't care about anything but handling, then your answer
is that you don't care.  Most of us do."

I didn't know that team.neter's could be considered the buying public,
however  I agree I would rather have a car the could pull .9gs and not pound
your fillings out, but I did not think that was the point..

"I'm not going to start a HP/L war here, but there is a basic truth to the
fact that if you can get more power out of every liter that you're going to
have a lighter powerplant for the same amount of power.  Less weight is
generally  something we strive for, no?"

I also agree, and I neversiad I would not... but that was the tone of what
your post sounded like to me..

"Had I not had to read your post twice to even begin to understand what you
tried to pass for punctuation and spelling, I may have been able to give you
an even more enlightened answer....but apparently you'd rather just have a
'me vs. the rice folk' war."

And comments like this are old flame war tricks as was your comment about me
stating that the AAR Cuda's and Challanger's were kind of predecessor to
acr's neons, which I noticed you did not respond to, it all sounded like a
flame so I responded in kind, if it was not I am sorry.. however if I did
own an s2000 and went to my local dodge dealer and saw a hemi anything, or a
really nice old mopar, I probably would trade my s2000 in for it also.
