However, in a sports car, whatever does make it go faster or handle better isn't there in the first place. Air conditioning, cup holders, 6 disc CD changers and what have you are tossed or not there in the first place. While we are well and truly off-topic, I wish they would make a modern sports cars with NARROW tires. Something I can have fun with at near legal speeds rather than having to top the ton before things get interesting. Hell the only time I have a great drive these days is when it is either snowing or raining. I don't want to be able to generate over a G in lateral force. A nice 0.7 ish with a neutral feel that can be nudged into oversteer with a bit of throttle would be very nice indeed thank you. I guess that is why I only use two wheels when I want to have fun now.
