Or it could be another car that's even more difficult to tow than an RX-8 (like a new SVT Mustang). Regardless, having a real tow vehicle opens options, instead of limiting them.

There are just too many vehicles that are competitive on a national level that are a good shake easier to tow... the local beat-everything-else autoX car is an Elan, e.g.
And a lot of the nationally competitive cars aren't a whole lot of fun to drive. The RX-8 should be plenty competitive in Stock on the national level this year (maybe next year too and perhaps the year after that). What it does have going for it is that it's a total blast to drive.

That minivan is rated to tow 3500 pounds? I could see, maybe, 1500 pounds.
