Slow car = minimal restraints
Fast car = maximum frustration

I was once driving an Peugeot 504 diesel around a rather enjoyable  
bend with the car in a nice four wheel drift. A super duper car with  
super sticky, super wide rubber just drove right around me. I was  
smiling, he was bored. I like slow, narrow tired vehicles. I can  
drive almost flat-out with a only modest amounts of peripheral  
kerfuffle. Super duper cars are fun on the track and boring almost  
everywhere else.
