Come on; it's like the ultimate FM/RR car! It's got one of the best sounding engines in history that revs to the moon. It makes enough power to have fun. It's got a great weight distribution; a fun driving position where you're nearly sitting on the rear axle; a transmission that's visceral more than it is efficient; it's basically the epiphany of a high-strung, front-engined, RWD driver's car.
It's a shame that it gets overshadowed because it just doesn't put up the numbers that people have grown to expect. Forget the numbers. I bet anyone that drives one would hop out with a smile plastered on their face just as big as if they got out of some other competitive car.
