OK.. I'm starting to understand you sentences... LOL

The wrightspeed x1 will go any distance. Just because it's battery powered doesn't mean it's not going to make a 3000 mile trip. It's not a track-day only car at all. I could drive it as a daily just as easily as a Z06... And probably easier.

There's still plenty of cars out there that will fit the bill. The LS7 is a maxed out motor without forced induction. The ZR-1 is a better car, IMO, because it's a smaller displacement but with FI. A car with 600+ HP wouldn't have a problem hooking up if it has the right tires. Street tires are the only tires you have issues on. My car club has a few 600+hp cars that roll around on Drag Radials. They still spin tire a little bit, but who said racing was all about mashing the gas? Still takes a degree of control even to go straight. My N/A 300zx will cross the 1/4 mile with me driving it before a kid that can't drive crosses the 1/4 mile driving a 500HP car. Likely they'll spin tire all the way down the track and NEVER hook.

GM makes some cars OK and some cars like crap. But to get a car that's made well, you have to pay $50K+. Honestly, I don't understand that at all. You can buy a Nissan with awesome build quality for 30K and it will perform quite well, come with the option Navigation (as GM only offers that in trucks and $50K+ cars), and comes with more standard features.
