Why do Grand Am owners think their car is fast?

just responding to title:

i’ve driven a black '02 GT before. with the low-profile tires… it handles pretty good. the 3.4 is decently quick

but overall

they’re girly little shitboxes that shouldn’t race anything for fear that it’ll get smoked and be surrounded by plastic-y flying parts and fragments of it’s own wheel bearings
