I actually read this thread through and I have to say I agree with you. That's one hting I love about my Rx-7. It is all mechanical. You get so much more feel for what the car is doing when there aren't any gismos tweaking everything. I'd rather come home after having fun on a track, not after winning some stupid competition. I mean, winning a race would be great and all but I'm content with smiling from ear to ear after a good solid run with both me and the car in tune with each other.
