Wolfe2x7IActually, I imagine the C5 Z06 would have fared much better in that Best Motoring race. After all, it matched the race-winning 996 Turbo's 'Ring time. It would still have a disadvantage on the Japanese track's tight corners and short straightaways, though, simply because of the V8 and RWD (after all, the 360 Modena didn't do so well).![]()
Wolfe2x7I don't know about other people, but I only make the claim that the tuning is biased to Japanese makes.![]()
NielsI think too many people have their opinions based on what Jeremy Clarkson says. I dont like american cars at all, just the Ford GT is a car I like very much ( dont ask me why though)
Anyway, I dont like american cars, but what Jeremy Clarkson always says about the cornering abilities, I doubt his opinion.
They just say the Corvette has old spring technology, and thats it, they never really tested it did they? I need to see it with my own eyes.
But american cars have it all wrong....Especially the dumb pick up trucks, like the Dodge Ram and stuff like that. It's really pathetic to see a car like that. Hell yeah it can be fast, but it looks VERY VERY DUMB IMO

The amount of effort technology thats put into those cars really seems like:
"OH our car's weight is 2000KG, lets put in another 300BHP to make up for it"
Thats not really difficult to come up with is it?
The cars just annoy me somehow.
How about we just end the debate, cause it's all opinionated.Jim ProwerAre we gonna discuss the merits of American vs World's cars here? or are we gonna say which car we'd bring to the show if GT4 was online? Geez....
Talk about getting off topic! You guys need to take the debate into another thread.
Master_YodaHow about we just end the debate, cause it's all opinionated.
M3, Supras, NSX, 240SX, some would beusing the 300C, 300ZX, G35, Yellowbird, M5, and plenty others!Jim ProwerI agree.
you know, just for laughs, in a Drift race, I might bring my F-150 Lightning, "Uncle Jesse's Pickup," just for a change of pace against all the Truenos, Silvias, and Skylines.
