My 170 is a dream to drive around town, and a riot when I lean on it! I am not a true "racer", more like a half assed racer, I do it for fun, it is not a serious attempt to "win" anything.
Maybe the 170 doesn't win sanctioned races, but I love driving mine. And I really don't think I would enjoy driving a competitive race car to WM for groceries!
Peace and love!
