With a steam catapult and a brick wall, just about any car can look 
impressive doing the 0-150-0 test.  Does that make an old '74 Pinto 
wagon (seafoam green, with woodgrain!) an "exotic" car?  :-)

(Hey, I'm not knocking the engineering marvel that was the Ford Pinto.  A 
lot of those silly fiberglass kit cars were built on that chassis since it 
had the right wheelbase to make your faux "concept car" look as sleek as a 
Lamborghini - never mind that it still _sounded_ like a rattly old 
4-banger...)
