Thats a pretty shitty car. Great on the straights but would suck balls trying to get a good laptime round any decent racing track. The suspension and shock design is like something out of the 1960's
i've always wanted an excessively priced car and paint it purple, just to annoy the smarmy, pink-shirted, immaculately coiffured sales tossers who drive around in cream-coloured-leather interiored, beamers humming to dido as they head off down to shepton mallet to sell something. the sight of some rocker twat like myself in a car they'll never be able to afford will cause pain to their little souls. i'd photograph the teary looks on their faces as i cruised on by blaring out 'master of puppets', then do an exhibition entitled 'cunts i've made cry' and shout druken abuse at all the smarmy art types who turned up.
The flat front-edge of the Mustang's hood ruins the whole effect of the car for me. Makes it...boring. Now, as for that Lamborghini... I picture Cassandra driving one down a curvy mountain road, toying with James Bond as he desperately races in the next lane, before she ultimately blows his...[?=wait for it...]doors off! [/?]
Yeah, that's the whole point Dan. It's a retro car from a period that kicked ass vehicularly speaking.
Different car styles for different road types, I guess. Muscular kick ass cars for long straight roads, built with modern engineering techniques, such as we have in America. Small but agile cars for curvy narrow roads built by barbarians such as they have in Europe.
Transaltion,.. big, fat, heavy lumps of pig iron for yanks. Technologically space-age motoring wonders using exotic materials and futuristic techniques for the euros... Oh Id hardly call Jags or Astin Martins small and agile....
Really Dan, plastic hasn't been a space age material since, well, the dawn of the space age. Keep driving those plastic death traps if you must, though.
I'd drive a japanese car any day over most European cars. The Japs actually build cars suited to the American marketplace. My two Hondas agree!
A "good" car is a practical one. One that's not designed for such a narrow functionality that you rarely get any use out of it. One that doesn't restrict your travels with it's design. One that won't constrain you with it's delicate, tempermental nature. One that isn't made of such exotic materials and specialized mechanicals that every minor repair costs $10,000 and stay on a waiting list for one of the 5 or 6 mechanics in the world qualified to work on the fucking thing.
I'm not the target audience for Lamborghini but I doubt they market them for their gas saving abilities
