The Look of Fast

Mr. Jalopy of Hooptyrides articulates a concept we've been thinking about for a while. Why, we've wondered, are we just not really turned on by cars that should have us drinking and dialing, like, say, the Mitsu Evo or Subaru WRX STi? The problem is that they just don't look fast, like the Renault Turbo, above (a warmed over LeCar), which probably couldn't keep up with the Subaru if it were being pulled by Michael Schumacher's F1 car hooked to an Apollo-era booster rocket. Car companies take note: Fatter tires and masking tape on the headlights equals fast.
