[this is not cbring]

in response to LX5091's comments:

different people have different objectives when it comes to selecting a car. just because you are interested in performance, doesn't mean that your primary concern is straight-line performance per dollar. some people want to be different. they might loathe the idea of going to the track and being one of 10 black mustangs there.

another factor is insurance. i am 24 with a clean driving record, my insurance on my gti is 3 times lower than it would be for a mustang or camaro. some people like mustangs, but don't like them enough to pay 200 or 300 extra a month in insurance.

as far as FWD, there are a heck of a lot of people serious about performance and racing that are in front-wheel drive. FWD, RWD, and AWD all have their attributes when it comes to going fast. if you don't recognize that, you are fooling yourself.
