They were describing unsprung weight, which is also important.

The EPA didn’t cause the problem, they were on site trying to clean up an existing problem that they feared was going to do exactly what it did. Never mind that due to decades of mining, those rivers were already so contaminated as to contain no fish.

I’m going to bet the farm on the Delorean, but I would much rather see the Lotus. Too many of these are simpliy impractical, boring, or will not appeal to a large part of his demographics.

Looks like I just found the next project for my 3d printer.

It’s heavier, also the sensation of speed is not good at altitude, in fact it’s quite boring.

I can see it now, you and the other collector car owners form an (estate) wagon circle and keep the feds at bay while shouting “you’ll never take my V8 alive!”

There’s a significant difference between semi-trained insurgents and foreign fighters lead by local warlords supplied with foreign weapons and you you sitting solo on your couch drinking a beer while firing your Glock and AR15 out the living room window trying to defend your precious v8.

No, the hatred started for me when the owners thought they belonged at classic car shows. I remember one show, 20 of them from the local club showed up thinking their fresh off the showroom floor PT Cruisers would fit right in among the muscle cars and model A’s. The car owners and crowd both made it quite clear that…

It wasn’t an hour, not even close.
They probably drove the heck out of it for a few days to get all of the footage they needed. 80% of what was filmed ended up on the cutting room floor. That doesn’t count the runs before filming started.

An M3 can take abuse, but there’s hooning YOUR car and then there is hooning a car that’s probably going to be crushed when you are done with it.

This, so much this!

It’s not just the sub-30 year olds, my brother (nearly 40) had to sell his 350Z because he just couldn’t keep his foot out of it. He always had to answer life’s important questions like: Wanna race? How fast can we get to Vegas? How fast will it go up a 6% grade? Can I drift this intersection (right in front of a cop)?

‘Well, it’s better than a swing axle”
And yet the BMW e30 is considered one of the best drivers car ever.

“kept it true to the muscle car roots. Big power in a crap chassis.”

EV’s don’t use the brakes nearly as much as an I.C.E. car, the regenerative braking acts as a brake, and they can even be programmed to use almost exclusively electronic braking (regulations prevent full electronic braking at the moment). If you aren’t using the brake system except in an emergency, you don’t need to…

I disagree, this is a money pit.
The side windows look good, but it was done out of necessity, other than 4 doors, this generation Darts were hard tops, I.E. no window frames or B pillar, this was done out of necessity. There are signs of rust, the whole rear window area has issues (lots of bondo, and is that paint…
