Why doesn't Nissan, and all other manufacturers of these more-or-less race cars, just market them as race cars, instead of deluding them on both ends of the spectrum - race and street - by selling something that's somewhat in between race and street?

Some of the weight is all the electronics (i would suspect). The air bags and other stuff would factor in some weight too. I think car is designed for the guy that wants a fast track car and take it to work the next day. There are so many good street and track cars I guess it doesn't hurt to have a car that does both well. I dont like this vehicle, but I do understand why there is a cult following of it. At the end of the day you still have a Datsun.
