From your phrasing, I think that you probably confuse torque with ‘power at low rpms’.

A thousand times this. Any good diesel car can be improved by fitting a petrol engine of the same displacement and cilinder count.

Well, all I know is that racism and bigotry is always wrong.
Yes it is. Keen eye!
Despite having to be that guy, I disagree with the inferred notion that the 2CV was not sophisticated.
Anyone that makes reliability quips concerning an Alfa Romeo compared to a Range Rover should step away from the internet.
Rode in it. Can confirm it’s glorious. Let down a bit by the interior trim (period Renault), but an amazing spacious cabin.
“Because most of its weight is in its nose, you need to accelerate quickly to transfer more of the car’s weight to the rear wheels in order to keep the rear of the car stable coming out of a turn.”

That is John Boyd Dunlop. He has given us the pneumatic tire. Please stop trying to bury the pneumatic tire. It is quite simply the best solution to get high-frequency bumps in the road dissappear. Any progress in airless tires can be applied equally well to sidewalls of pneumatic tires, which will keep their…
nope, this specific type of jackassery is figured out by americans on their own. I sincerely hope it doesn’t spread to the civilised world.
You also got a bullshit e28 M5 and a bullshit e24 M6.
And look how happy it makes a car!

All this burning and rally got me in the mood to post flaming rally Lancias
What’s wrong with the eta motor? With a little care (proper oil mostly) they last long, are efficient, and are quite torquey so they have no problem moving an e30 about.
I’m still waiting for the sequel to this.
The Ford Tempo reminds me of FordTempoFanatic.
