For example, Bad Penny is straddling the line of being too much of a race car for me, but Steve is so madly in love with her that he can look passed her faults (i.e. climbing in and out, which is not easy) . Personally I'd rather have a car like the DSE '69 that is practically a beater with one hell of a suspension and drive train. On the other end of the spectrum towards show car, there's my Camaro. There are times I wish I could just leave it in a parking lot without worrying, or kill cones without guilt.

"madly in love" is a bit strong.. lol
BUT, my last car was so street-rod that I wanted one a bit more in your face.. it's my play car, not my daily commuter so I don't mind the side bar or the firmer ride. I still think she rides nice and is a pleasure to drive. And yes, I wear my four-point harness even when I drive around town.
If there's a spectrum where 1 is a pure show car and 10 is a race car Penny falls at around 6.. use to be 7 before I put in the audio system
I wanted an edgy play car.. I got one.. but I think that if people start trying to build race cars in the guise of a street car then they won't be very happy, except maybe when they are on the race track.
