<< Well, then why dont we all just go get some crappy mustang and put some 
 NOS on it.  That way we could beat both of them.  It seems to me Scott 
 that you are ignoring my point.  HANDLING!!!!!!  If you compare .86-.89 g 
 to .95-.99g that is not just a small difference.  If you have a 
 discrepancy of over 1.5 miles per hour in the slalom, that is not a small 
 difference.  
 
 Puhleeze, lets stop talking about acceleration, if i were so preoccupied 
 with acceleration, i would be driving a pony car....
  >>
.5g's in handling can be addressed with a set of wider wheels.  NOT tires,
wheels.  I'm not making acceleration arguments at all, Mike.  You drive both,
try the RX7 fast, and the tt fast.  Your 1.5mph seems not only small, but
silly.  Understand acceleration is exactly what I'm NOT talking about.  Drive
them, contrast them.  Lightness of the RX7 has compromises.  Acceptable?
Well, drive them, this guy says I don't think so.  Put your awd argument into
the equation, and the compromises on the RX7 are even higher.
