so do americans have gymkana's or slalom events for private owners or leagues ?

Good. Thank you.

And yes, there are slalom events, and road racing / auto-cross leagues.

Americans don't just like going fast in a straight line, we enjoy the winding, curvy roads too... and we appreciate cars that handle. It is the stereotypes of the 60's and 70's straight-line, gas-guzzling muscle cars (although the history and character these cars posess is just awesome), and the 80's poor quality that you must get over and realize that to a large extent -- just don't hold true any longer. Today, America produces very reliable and efficient cars that perform on par with some of the greatest cars in the world.

It appears that the Dweeb may be just starting to realise that if he pulls his head in we might get some valuable information instead of dishing out the incredulous drivel he asserts as experienced wisdom!

Oh geez... you take a Golf, I'll take a Z06. We'll run a road course for slips. You'll be handing over your Golf (not like I would want it).

The STi is a great car, no doubt... but I would much rather have a Corvette or Viper than a boxy-looking sedan. On pavement, a Z06 will still outperform an STi -- and it will turn more heads at night. The Vette just makes 'em wet - if you know what I mean.
