Yeah, an x-mod is a toy, I have a $1900 PC I built and modified myself, and that's a toy.
I have a 92 mustang LX, and that's my big toy
The x-mod, my little toy, cause track time is big bucks
Numerous other toys too.
Basically if it's something you use for recreational purpose, it's a toy. I can go into very messed up examples, but I shall refrain.
Either way, I found my x-mod had a rather decent turning radius, good design, maybe a bit low on the power but that can be fixed
Basically, speed costs money, so if you can't afford an RS4 or a mini-z, this is the low-cost alternative. It's like buying a used SVO mustang instead of a 5.0 GT, just think of it that way.
