TG - sad to say, but even I realize that if I had a faster car, my round win% would go up. When chasing, I typically drive the stripe into .010. When being chased, I've been taking around .030. How much is having .02 in the bank worth? I've had 4-5 rounds this year that I feel 98% certain that I would've won if I were chasing instead of being chased. If I had the money to make the initial investment in the first place, I'd probably do it, but I'm trying to get out of debt before I come up with anymore 'projects'. (Just another good reason to start hoofin' it in the Box class again... need to improve my 'vs. fast car' program)

People realize this, so I don't think anything is going to stop the progression toward faster cars. (refer to the trend in fast Footbrake cars) The only thing that might slow it down is when the upper classes get 'too' full, and they start running into more heads-up runs. Tim's point is that 2-steps make that transition that much easier.
