You've never really driven a stick car with a big cam have you? Really....

HUGE cams usually kill bottom end and only have upper midrange to high RPM power. They aren't really running right until you go WOT and really aren't fast cars unless you are killing it.

There are trades to the car also. In stop and go traffic cars like these are not really confortable to drive because your idle quality is usually poor as well as you have to slip the clutch alot. So you're either revving the car alot to keep it from stalling OR you're revving the pee out of it to keep it in its powerband.... this usually causes heating issues, results in poor gas milage and just overall not very road worthy performance.

Just look at all the old guys, they stick a relatively mild cam, big torque, gears, maybe a little boost and they end up with major fun cars. They won't go to 9000rpms, but they will be easy to drive and still produce decent power.
