Isn't it funny how things change.

I can recall heated discussions and debates on these very forums abou thow "manual and characater" was made all eurocars great - and how "horsepower and big engines are not everything" and "bloody auto yank cars, just point and shoot and who cares abotu acceleration number anyway - it's all in the character blahblah blah blah"...

What a difference the better half of decade makes...

It seems all that the euros are obsessed with these days are straight line performance, horsepower and ever increasing engine sizes...... and here I thought it only yanks wanna go fast in a straight line

Sorry but you are wrong.Straight performance like cornering was always very importante too European costumers.

Engines sizes are increasing simple because in part cars are becoming heavier and heavier and too like a natural evolution of sports cars,not only in Europe but all over the world. More safety regulations,more equipment and so on.The only car maker that resembles with American sports car is AMG with theres fantastic 6.3 V8 block and only in engine size.Europeans cars were always way faster than American cars,think Ferrari,Lamborghini,Porsche...

Your auto boxes have nothing to have with this amazing twin clutch dont forget that.

Drive fast,drive European.

Cheers,

Leblanc


For me a Turbo PDK every day and a GT3 for weekend's.

Yeah that's right - I forgot, the C6ZR1 and CTS-V caddies are just pure rubbish

One more thing, for every F, P or L-car lets not forget that Europe has also saddled the world with 10 versions of some rather pathetic everyday cars

GEt ready for the invasion. With oil at this or higher prices, and supply not increasing, the States will be importing more and more european cars. Even small or medium size, with 1.4L or 1.6 L engines and obviously, 1.9 diesels !
And even worse, they'll be made in China

C6 ZR1/CTS-V the closest America has come to making a good car, and they're very cheap but where is the highlight? The acrylic bonnet window??? That said, at least there are still some domestically produced cars. Who could forget the lincoln 'town car' or the buick riviera. Oh and as for 10 versions of the same pathetic car, at least they have to look different to fool the public. I was flabberghasted by the lack of effort to disguised the Chevrolet avalanche from the stupid Escalade pickup shitbox. Oh my god, and the grand marquis/crown vic, it still looks like a taxi???? How retarded are their customers???

Dude -seriously, you have no fucking idea what you are talkign about - ok?

The C5 Z06 in its day ran NECK and muthafucking NECK with the F and P cars o fthe day.

OK?

Hell - even the BASE C5 Vette runs NECK and NECK with many base model peer generation P cars.

Fuck man - even the bloody 1990 ZR1 was a P Turbo contender.

And the C6 base car RUNS neck and neck with MANY entry level P-cars - ok?

And the C6 Z06 runs NECK and NECK with its peer F, P and L cars..

OK?

Please stop spewing your ignorant fucking tripe every chance you get.

our irrational hatred of all things American gets really old really fast.
