I am getting tired of people proclaiming Detroit muscle cars to be
great sport cars.   Those cars are good at one thing and one thing
only: going fast in a straight line.   That's fine -- there's
nothing wrong with neck-snapping acceleration, just don't try to
tell me that blinding straightaway speed is all there is to a
well-rounded sports car!

A true sports car must be able to stop and turn as well as it can
accelerate.   I certainly don't want to sell my soul for a car that
is always first off the line only to sink to its knees when the
first turn comes up!
