I understand, and I have respect and admiration for drag racing... I just thought it was strange phrasing to discuss "motorsports" that are "not concerned with turning" as if there were more than one such example.

Now, a live axle is widely considered less capable for track driving and cornering. In motorsports that don't care about turning — drag racing — live axles have some real advantages.

So basically a heavier Yaris, then?

No. Actually it is not possible for this to be a great car. Your eyes do not deceive you.

I can see them sitting in a room silently for weeks, each fully expecting the other to bribe first.

Yes 70-74 were lookers, but 71 was peak muscle. Then came the hamhanded emissions control implementations.

It just has to be this. It predates the Mustang as well.

I was thinking CLS.

Interesting perspective coming from Axis. You guys and your blog are almost singlehandedly responsible for turning my opinion of Porsche around. You seem like reasonable, competent enthusiasts with technical experience, understanding, and appreciation, and you choose Porsches for those reasons and no other. Not at all…

If Country Squire had better manners she'd be pretty dang hot.

Of course. Like the Tesla Model S.

Now that's just not fair. Polyphony took all that criticism pretty seriously and spend a HUGE amount of resources working with Dyson to make sure that the sounds in GT6 are better.

CONTEXT: "...should be revisited in more cars today..."

Nubira? Pffft. It's all about the Lanos, bro.

I really like this Avventura concept (though badged as an Allegro here). This one was pretty forward-looking in its use of a fastback/hatchback design, and maintained a really strong connection with Ford design of the era with its round jet-exhaust taillights. But what makes it really amazing is the proposed…

Camaro-inspired? You are being too generous. Try "Traverse"

I never realized there was a non-digital C4 tach.

Wouldn't the Alfa 7C be a more appropriate comparison?

Maaaayyyyybe this is some kind of sour-grapes coping mechanism, but I can't see wanting to drive a car perpetually so far from its limits.

Trade ya!
