Lol bang for the buck racing.

Maybe we should pull an Atom and put a big engine in a go-kart.

Since everyone here can only see the performance side of the spectrum. **** quality and **** ferrari's right?

I know some rockcrawlers with IRS, do they handle real well around corners too? I'll have to ask them.

They PROBABLY put that on the cobras to improve the ride quality more then handling, because i don't remember the last time i saw a cobra in an autocross event. Cars with half that horsepower would embarass it.

You are pretty ignorant aren't you? Do you ever bother looking at where people live? Nascar is garbage and I was born and raised in the South.
You say "WTF HE LIVES IN THE SOUTH AND DOESN'T LIKE NASCAR?!?!?!?!".

That's correct. A powerful car should be able to go fast in a straight line and also hold a turn at 4gs.

Just because you live here or born here doesn't mean your 100% American. And I saw where you live. Just like Asian people swearing a 2.0 liter is faster than a worked 454.

Jeez settle down, I can barely type out something before 10 more are posted. I have never personally driven a ferrari, vette, veyron or any other nice car.

Now I know why you said all that. Thank you for clearing up half your ignorance.

lol like nascars arent even engineered, to hold g's, they are just metal thrown together with big motors behind them and stuck on a track.

I hate nascar but I respect all the engineering that goes into it unlike some people that just think its some bullshit thrown together.

Go drive any of these great american cars mentioned in this thread and come back talking shit *****.

VW did it as a test just to see if it was possible. You might want to do some research before acting like a retard.

I missed this post.. hmm

You should take your own advice when researching like i said in my last post

There is a Vette that my grandpas crew is working on for GT Forumla......car is less than 2000lbs and pushing over 750hp. If he drove that car, odds are he would probally shit him self and never drive a real muscle car again.

Typical statement from someone that has the "American values" stuck so far up his *** that he can't realize that Europe makes better cars. It's that simple.

GTFO of our country.

Faktor, you realize you've contradicted yourself way too many times in this thread to even poke fun at?

How about giving the computer a rest and letting your intellect recover. Or try to. :|

no... what we're saying is that the vette's in the same ballpark performance-wise as much more expensive cars. I don't think anybody said interior fit and finish or build tolerances were comparable... but... unless you're buying based on exclusivity, the point of diminsihing returns comes in and you see that you're not getting many extras for the additional 1.1 million, or 200,000, or whatever, over a vette.

OUR country? You act like you did ANYTHING to make America what it is today.

You need a stiff arm right into the recruiters office, jr

Had a grandpa die in the war, brother is going back to the marines and if I could join the military and fight for OUR country I would. Your probably one of the ****in hippies who if got drafted would go to Mexico because hes to much of a ***** to fight for his country.

Well of course, anything over 200,000k i would think would be for bragging rights. I just thought id reiterate that since everyone here seemed like performance was end all be all of it. If that were true id have bought a camaro or a ***** am.

I mainly wanted to answer cambpell's question since he was being such a jackass about it.
