It might not be the fastest thing on the market, but I've always found them more than adequate in the fun dept. I'd rather a car be able to handle well then just be able to beat someone off the line (you know as soon as that Explorer hit a gentle-curve, it rolled a few times and exploded into a fireball).

Yeah, I am expecting that. It's not unreasonable at all. Look at the MazdaSpeed 3, a 135i, STI, a base model V6 Mustang ffs. The list goes on. Yes they handle well, but they're underpowered. Why wouldn't you want more power? They can handle it for sure (see Pylon's car).
