[Shotimes] Drove the new Fusion

An RX7 or RX8 is an acquired taste. Some folks, like me, have never had a
desire for them. Put better brakes on a used Z06 and you are good to go for
whatever kind of track events you want (auto-x, track, dragstrip).

FWIW, we tried out an RX8 for seating at the Detroit show a couple of years
ago. Our test was that Ryan Dudek (my height, with a few more #s), would sit
in the drivers seat and adjust the seat to his liking, and I would sit in
the back behind the driver. In the RX8, I could only get one leg in! it's
basically a 2-seat car for anyone bigger than Rick or Larry!!

Thanks for the info don, but I think my 25,000 would go in for a bottom
of the line RX8.
