Can you strip enough weight out of those things to make them a race car? Odd seeing them on a track but the wing distracts from the **** end

You can't outrun size and weight, but they do perform better than they look.

An that sound is awesome.

Oxymoron here I think as most race cars I know of do not have an interior.

I was obviously talking about the street car. A student brought one to a car control clinic and I was impressed with the interior trim as well as it's handling. The exterior doesn't do much to me either way although it appears to make a lot of people throw up a little.

Would never buy the street car, but I had one as a loaner for a week, and must say that it was impressive considering it's size and weight. The front end and interior are beautiful.... the rear.... don't really concur with Porsche trying to make the back end like a 911 but I understand that a new version is coming out soon??

Don't know about a race car ----- the dimension are so big

It looks like a 4 door Pacer from every angle except directly from the front.

race with 3 of your friends along for the ride.

love it. But of course I track my 4 door e90 m3. I love getting point by's by 911's and vettes, all while having a baby seat in the back.

Not enough glass...

From an old stand up routine:
To the salesman while shopping and inquiring why anybody would buy a Pacer:
"You got anything big and bloated with lots of windows so everyone can see I made a shi**y decision?"

After purchase:
Stop at a cross walk and wave pedestrians to cross. Pedestrian response: "No, you go ahead as you're obviously not a good decision maker."


A friend in high school had a Pacer for his first car. No end of ugly to that fishbowl.

Panameras look badass in turbo trim with big wheels...and certainly have more presence than any other sedan from Germany.

Last car I would expect on track though, due to the size!
