A decent car thread... time to get my two cents in...
Alright, tiesto14 definately knows his shit. American muscle cars are exactly that.. muscle cars.. tune 'em and you've got yourself a drag machine that doesn't compare to anything European. A friend of mine put slicks on his fully engine modded camaro ss (n/a, bored out, polished, intake, cams, straight pipe (sssshhh.. don't tell the cops) ). This fire breathing bad ass completely destroyed some cocky bastard's yellow s4... haha.. don't even know why he tried...
I mean power (massive horsepower and torque) has always been huge in Americas automotive history and racing. Look at the types of professional races that are big in this country... drag racing, oval racing, truck pulls, and what not... all balls, no handling...
In Europe, you've got your formula 1 (it's all street style cuircuit races), world rally, and whatever else there is... World rally is in my opinion the ultimate test of a car. I'd take one of those cars with it's apparently measely 300 horsepower over anything else mentioned here any day. I mean, who the hell wouldn't wanna lock the back wheels and swing around a sharp corner on the cliffs of corsica while narrowly avoiding a crowd of screaming onlookers. Alright now I'm babbling...
And about ferrari's, lamborghini's, and porsches. They only sell cars to fund there racing programs (or they used to at least). These cars demand top dollar for their excessive amount of race track proven engineering (especially the porsches... they raped everyone back in the 70s.. so well engineered). I mean, you're not gonna find ceramic brakes on any cobra anytime soon sorry to say..
Anyway, I guess my point is different cars serve different purposes. If you want cheap speed get a muscle car. If you want expensive, race proven engineering get a porsche or ferrari (skip the lambo... only tools buy those). If you want a kickass car, get a peugeot 206 or ford focus and tune it into a rally monster, or buy a wrx sti or an evo VII...
