Remember, for most of us, these are just toys. Grown up versions of the Hot Wheels cars we played with as kids. If you look at it that way, then you don't spec your car to squeeze every last ounce of power or performance or mechanical efficiency out of it. I chose the old SFT cam of mine because I like the noise it makes, leather because I like the smell, six-pin drives because I like the looks of them when I pull the wheels. These cars are nothing more than fun little diversions -- just treat them that way.
