I think that a 13.5sec quarter-mile, in an American-made, rear-drive coupe makes your argument invalid.

Agreed. The most ridiculous thing about the Grand National was that it was exponentially better than everything of the era.
This was my first "Brand New" car. I saw it at the 1997 New York Auto Show, and fell in love with it... Bought one that fall... And it was a colossal piece of shit. Engine (2.5l DOHC) blew at 31K miles (After careful use, and regular engine service). The rear wheel bearings only lasted 5K miles or so, and then…
If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
Agreed, last year was a last-minute rush to get the HST on-line for the event... And your points are all valid, although they don't actually contradict anything that I said.

Cute French film. This the the American response.
These are exceptionally cool, and they should be competitive. That being said, Robby Gordon might have been an entire year ahead of the curve when it comes to this evolution of the 2WD cars that compete in the Dakar. I have nothing less than the full confidence that the Speed Energy HST will be competing for the…
...like their NASCAR team. Or Eddie Cheever's IndyCar team.
Where's the GTO? Fail.
Yeah... Hard to fishtail with Front Wheel Drive.
We have bollards in America, too, you know. Just not in the center of the street.
...because this was a thing.
I must be a child of the early 80's, because I went for the turbo-four... Although, I did delete the spoiler.
This was the 1995 race, and it was by far, the best Indianapolis 500 of the past 20 years or so... Scott Goodyear passed the pace car coming out of Turn 4 with ten laps to go, and Jacques Villeneuve won the race from two laps down. Epic stuff!
Fernando who?
My ass is IN Connecticut, and I don't want it.
...and now their "Dealer Cartels" want legislative help banning the sales of Tesla cars. Ironic, since GM had their chance and dropped the ball.
Awesome. If you choose to do that, I'll take the Ferrari lump off of your hands and put it in a Lancia Stratos replica... You know, for the "OMFG, no you didn't" factor.
First off, this is still a Ferrari. Although it isn't necessarily the best Ferrari, or the most sought-after Ferrari, it is still a Ferrari. At the time, this was the only full-on convertible Ferrari, and it wasn't cheap. The drive train is the standard fuel-injected DOHC 32-valve V8 that came in various forms…
