   This is beside the point, but a $20K Chevrolet Camaro Z28 will dust a
$40000 Lexus LS any day.
 
   So will a Mitsubishi 3000GT , Nissan 300ZX, Toyota Supra, Chevrolet 
Corvette, Dodge Stealth, Mazda RX-7, Pontiac Firebird/Formula/Trans Am,
and Ford Mustang.

    Possibly an Acura Integra, Ford Probe GT, Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica
and MR2, Mazda MX5 Miata and MX6, Nissan 240SX, Eagle Talon, and Mitsubishi
Eclipse.

   I don't think the Lexus buyer has power as high on his list as luxury.
