No, my example is entirely accurate.

Echo + Spec Rules Preperation = the Vitz Cup car races I posted

Miata + Spec Rules Preeration = the Spec Miata race I posted

Just because the stock Echo doesn't stack up to a stock Miata doesn't make the Echo a worse platform for a spec race series. In addition, I would hardly call the Echo the worst car ever made by Toyota. Hell, look at the current $56,000 Land Cruiser... that used to be an awesome off-road truck, but it's become just as bad as all the current bloated SUVs. I'd much rather have 5 Echos than one Land Cruiser.
