Now that would make sense.
 On the topic of front drivers, RWD racers, those "Lets compare the car you
drive to its racing brother" Tya... as if there where any similarities left.
Even when the car you drove was still a RWD version of the racer, the darn
thing was day/night different enough to hardly warrent the glossy,
absolutely trivial things they always like to point out as being similar.
Other than a quick muttering that the racer is rear wheel drive, and the
engine is a big ole' v-8, you'd think the two where identical if you had to
base your judgement on these "Lets compare.." stories.

Oh, it was definatly performance themed. It certainly didn't do the name
justice compared to previous creations.  I'll see what I can find out on it.
