The C7 Grand Sport may be peak Front engine/rear drive performance, for me. I race a Shelby GT350TR with 5.2 Motorsports, so I have love for those, too, despite the inherent deficiencies to the C7.

Dad, you may have taken my comment a little too seriously. I happen to have an ‘88 Fiero GT 5-spd and just personally never cared for the C4 gen cars. I would argue about them being “as good as anything coming from the European sports car manufacturers”, ie, Porsche 928, but just I’m messing around, anyway.
I was…

Fantastic series

GT body styles got the more curved nose and tail with the “flying buttresses”.

Its an awesome series.

I gave you the star then took it away when I finished reading the last part about the C4 > Fiero. LOL

I’m boiling inside. It is outrageous that this is still occurring.
I’m fortunate, I think, to race with women in environments where men are generally respectful. I’m really pleased to see the needle moving in terms of women’s involvement in motorsport and the support (not just acceptance) to welcome them in. But this…

Thank you for your response and sharing your experience. That is enlightening.
I think that reasonable arguments go a lot further than extreme ones and screaming at each other.

My opinion is no more valid than yours or anyone else’s, yet we can speak our mind and we don’t have to agree because this is the internet. Isn’t it grand? Yet I still value mutual discussion here, regardless of it not mattering.
I’m not saying that they have no right to be pissed off. In fact, I would like to…

Haha. Point well made!

I wasn’t around in the 70's so I will accept some liability as being somewhat ignorant t0 the history at that particular point in time. But, I still ask, why has it taken 50 years for this to be seen as an issue? Ok, I understand nobody listening through the 70's, 80's, and maybe 90's. But, what about the last 20…

You might be very right.
Seems I’ve ruffled some feathers. LOL. God forbid that differing opinions bring about reasonable discussion (not aimed so much at you).

Serious question: In light of recent raising of issues with Stellantis using the Cherokee name, was there any discussion about how the Native Americans and maybe even Indians (from India) feel about the Indian name plate? Is there some history on the company that ties them to the Native America culture?
Interesting…

First and foremost, I’m glad you’re ok.
Secondly, I’d be curious if the calibration engineers align with that stance. While, in theory, you’re right, in practice on public road, most drivers/riders would she shorter distances by being able to rely on ABS because they can immediately get to the threshold and stay there.…

Only difference is that you guaranteed your suggestion. I’m open to being shown that I’m wrong ;)

My point is that my suspicion is that this is a money grab. Not that they’re alone in this in our lawsuit-rich nation.
I should qualify this that I personally believe having a team or a car or a city or whatever named after your people is a badge of honor and respect. Sure, sure, they’re the ones that get to decide if…

Yes, I did yank it out of my ass. That’s why I said “I doubt”. I don’t have any proof. Just my suspicion, typed out on the internet, where facts don’t matter. LOL. They’re also not saying that they were not consulted when the name was first used. I SUSPECT that a company the size of Chrysler would have done some due…

I highly doubt that the original Cherokee name was chosen without consulting with the Cherokee people. Regardless, I suspect that this will all be solved with an exchange of sweet American dollar bills. But, wait... They’re a sovereign society. Do they even recognize American dollars?
Yes. Very much so.

On the day of my driving test, I was using a car I’d never driven before and the test was in the city, where I hadn’t driven before. I sped because I didn’t know the limit. I drove in the middle of the two lanes because they were not marked with white hashes. I missed a turn and I completely botched the parallel…

LOL. Personally, I like the “Best-of comments” summaries!
