    Any car can be made fast if you dump enough money into it. I have beaten non intercooled turbo hondas with just a 3.4 pulley and supporting mods. If that person then dumped more money into it then they would be faster. It is still a ****ty econo car at the end of the day. Think the guy with the Ferrari 360 gives two ****s that a 400HP Honda might beat it is a straight line? Also those peaky engines suck for a daily driver, but fun at the track. Meh, everything is a give and take; it is just that kids tend to get more easily impressed by crappy cars with a **** ton of money dumped into them, which coincidentally would have allowed that same person to buy a better car.

    Well personally I don't feel the need for a self driving car with a panorama sun roof with a 20" navigation head unit. Id much rather have a car that hauls a** and can handle decently. I'm personally extremely happy with my grand prix. When I first got in it and saw that a 1999 car had a mpg tracker I was frickin amazed. Technology is super cool and if I was rich I would probably buy a tesla or something but if I had to choose between comfort and unnecasy ammenities or speed I would choose speed every time.
