I think the key here is the balance of power and practicality. While certainly the RWD and the stiffest chassis possible married to a gas-guzzler of an engine have an appeal in theory, and 0 to 60 digits impress the "little boys" inside of us, and sure make the girls swoon... your kidneys will beg for mercy, rear seat passengers(if you can squeeze any) will do the same and your wallet,unless its bottomless, will cry out loud due to sky-rocketing cost of maintenance.Tried to commute in a street legal race car? Carry your groceries? Go on a thousand mile trip with your family?
Unfortunately, it is just like an audio hobby where a lot of people over-emphasize one feature or purported advantage, throwing around some meaningless numbers while leaving out a bigger picture. Hence, I keep noticing the same "flavor of the day" and "giant-killer" items recirculating again and again while changing hands of those who bought into meaningless or one-sided hype.
