7.5/10: My god. the challenger has to be the best looking of the 3 retro styled pony cars. It's styling cues match its classic counterpart very well and I love it more than the camaro oddly enough (even though the camaro is faster, but I still prefer the mustang GT 5.0 to it). The sad thing is, I rarely see the 392 SRT-8s.

I'm not exactly a fan of American muscle, but something about the Challenger just...works. I despise the new Camaro, and I've always despised the Mustang. But I'd happily drive a Challenger.

What exactly I so bad about them?

Overrated, ugly, primitive (at least until Chevy borrowed the Monaro's guts for the Camaro), and they're usually driven by massive posers.

I also get rather tired of hearing how some idiot's "American Muscle" will kick my little Civic's 🤬. Yes, in a straight line, it obviously will. You've got almost three times my horsepower. But unlike you, I can drive my car through a bend at speed without spinning out. And I don't have to make a mortgage payment every time I fill up the tank.


As a side note, I do love the 4th-gen F-body. So there's that.

Have you ever actually driven one?

An '08 Mustang GT at Mid-Ohio. Honestly, it wasn't terribly fun. It was decent in a straight line, but every corner felt like I was wrestling with the car. The Exige I drove that day was much more fun - it was even more of a handful in the corners, but it didn't feel like it was fighting you.

Having rich friends is fun....
 
The overrated bit, I think I know how you feel MadMike. That's how I feel about the idiots that fanboy japanese cars (especially the Nissan GT-R) and always talk trash about american cars. That's really a never ending cycle.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of the Mustang, but I don't talk about the Civic in such a way. I like the Civic, especially the Type R variants.
I get just as fed up when people keep saying that the Mustang can't take a turn. I mean, there's several videos on youtube that show the current mustangs cornering well. The mustang also has history with racing on road courses in general, that's really nothing more than a stereotype that's false.

I'm rating the DeTomaso Mangusta 8/10; love the styling, makes me think of the 1970 lamborghini supercars.

My next car:
Honda Civic Type R EP3 (My favorite Civic, personal rating is a 7.5/10)

8/10. While it can't compete on the funky scale of its successor, it's still a far better drive and one of the best hot hatches ever created.

This. Especially the trans am and NASCAR variants. The mustang was always known to be a pretty nimble car.

I meant have you ever driven an old one. Old meaning like a 60s car. Unlike a new one, the old ones actually have character.

Mazda 6 MPS: 7.5/10 - restrained looks and crushing performance make it one of the top sports sedans below a 330i.

Next: BMW 428i

The Silvia gets a 7.5/10 as long as it's stock (or tastefully modded). Great little driving car with a terrible culture centered around it.

I have no real problem with the old pony cars. I just hate the new ones. I actually rather like the old 302 Boss, and I'm about as far from a Ford lover as one can get.


Honda CR-Z

6.5/10; I liked where honda was going with the CR-Z. Making a sport hybrid and I like the look of it, but it's still not as quick as it can be.

Good News! Yes, rate the dacia sandero here.
Sandero-1_2417618b.jpg
 
(CR-Z) 8/10 - just. Certainly very cool for a hybrid car, but I do wish it was faster.

(Sandero) 7/10 Good News! It's actually fairly good for how cheap it actually can be.

Vauxhall VXR8 2007:

:lol: Lovely little car. 6.9/10. 6.9 because it lacks something...... Oh yeah! James May!

Sticking to Dacia....

The Dacia Duster Black Edition.

Yes, I can't get that car out of my head and now can't look at one without good ol' Captain Slow saying "Good News".
 
Sandero: 2/10- It's cheap but that's all it's good for.

VXR8: 9/10- M5 beater for much less money.

Duster Black Edition: 3/10- Made too expensive which makes it's badge of value for money completely pointless.

Lamborghini Diablo GT:

8/10 for Oliver, it's not a bad little car and the TG oliver bits help to its appeal.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

C63 AMG - 8.5/10, one of my favourite drift cars in GT5. :D
edit: Triumph TR3 - 9.5/10, the epic British lightweght legend. 👍

One of the awesome sports sedans of the late 80's, competing with the likes of the BMW M3 E30 and the Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth. Had great racing successes as well.
