I just tell them

if you make such an ignorant comment, you don't know enough of the evolution of sports cars to make conversation. Tell them to recite to you how many purpose built sports racing cars are built with rear engine, how many are built with front engine/rear drive and how many are built mid-engine/ rear drive. You may also ask them why such front engine/rear drive cars as the COrvette and RX8 are putting the engine so far back under the dash........to try to duplicate the balance of a true mid-engine car.......that the engines must be removed to change spark plugs.
But then again, that still does not give the extreme low polar moment handling of the true mid-engine car.
When they look at you with those big deer in the headlight eyes over the extreme low polar moment handling..........simply walk away.
