I mean, do you want a race car or race truck? Weight is what will determine how fast it will be, no matter what platform its actually in.

Honestly not sure. I want a nice body style that i can cruise in on the weekends and play at the track on street nights. Another factor is im a big guy 6'1" 280lbs.
