    Is there any chance we can also add the definition of a muppet to the first post? Some people in baby blue Falcon's have no idea...

    Not necessarily, you can get a car that runs 14s in a straight line but is a fucking rocket around a track.

    @ Perthute,

    yeah mate i think thats nearly hit the nail on the head,
    my car will never be a "performance car" as it cant turn a corner for shiz.

    i would consider anything AWD that can do 13's or under as a "performance car" and if they cant get it around the track quick its more driver error.

    and i would happily say that is a performance car.

    i guess "performance" is to broad.

    having a car that just "performs" well around corners
    having a car that just "performs" well under brakes
    or having a car that just "performs" well accelerating

    would still be classified as a performance car, i mean who in there right mind would say a car that pulls sub 11's isnt a performance car.

    who cares if it cant handle thats not there game!

    if you want to classify cars that are all around performance then nearly any high end car will qualify modded or not.

    having a modified car is something different
