having owned an S-chassis and slightly modified it from stock, i can definitely say that from the factory they are no more than "sporty" due to both the softish suspension/brakes and the lackluster engine...however like the Toyobaru twins they have huge amounts of cheap potential

people pay more than that for the Raptor which is honestly a lift kit with some graphics and wide fenders, albeit a very well factory engineered lift kit...you're right though it still doesn't stop me from all the wants lol
