Well they do actually...

I saw a race somewhere on TV. Maybe on Speedvision aka Speed Channel 
before they turned into yet another !@%*-ing NASCAR channel... <grin!>

How does that saying go? It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it 
is to drive a fast car slow???

I wonder what they could tie the racing harnesses to b/c a Campbell soup 
can may be stronger... <grin!> That said we had alot of fun with my 
buddy's 2CV in Italy. I'd like to have another one... WINTESS THE SHEAR 
MIND-BLOWING POWER OF THE 2 CYLINDER AIRCOOLED HEMI-2CV ENGINE!!!

 From Wikipedia:

"The car featured an air-cooled, flat-twin, four-stroke, 375 cc 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre> engine, with the 
notoriously underpowered earliest model developing only 9 bhp 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhp> DIN 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN> (6.5 kW). A 425 cc engine was 
introduced in 1955, followed by a 602 cc (giving 28 bhp (20.5 kW) at 
7000 rpm) in 1968. With the 602 cc engine the tax classification of the 
car changed so that it became in fact a 3CV, but the commercial name 
remained unchanged. A 435 cc engine was introduced at the same time in 
replacement of the 425 cc, the 435 cc engine car was christened 2CV 4 
while the 602 cc took the name 2CV 6 (nevertheless it did take the name 
3CV in Argentina). The 602 cc engine evolved to 33 bhp (24 kW) in 1970 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970>; this was the most powerful engine 
fitted to the 2CV. A new 602 cc giving only 29 bhp (21.5 kW) at a slower 
5750 rpm was introduced in 1979. Despite being less powerful, this 
engine was more efficient, allowing lower fuel consumption and better 
top speed."
