I prefer merging power, i.e. 45-70 or so, hill-pulling power, handling, braking, MPG/tactical range, and driver environment comfort and convenience.
If I had a very quick car, I'd just be dogging it. Even with The Mighty Spectra, I can't get my foot into it as often as I'd like.
I'd rather have ESP that saved my ass in one slick curve than a 6 second car that would just garner me some tickets.

Yep, I totally understand after borrowing the mother in laws auto Liberty/Legacy GT Turbo last night. Around a 7 second car (according to my brain chono), this thing delivers a lot of grins almost too readily.
Congrats on the new veehickle. You do know the new one is due out any day now
