now this is a real, legit 2000hp street-car.

Why the hell is the steering wheel on the LHS? it's a British car....... this guy's a knob. He liked the car because it looked American then he obviously converted it to LHD?????

As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so ...the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

Apparently, I’m still lost…

*In your opinion

It's a give and take. You can do well at multiple disciplines, or you can excel at one. The basic measurement of performance has always been the 1/4 mile, and always will be. Sure, people enjoy and use road course lap times as measurement, but it always comes back to the drag strip. Brute power is, by far, the most fascinating to the average Joe.

No. The point IS that you are not going to be the top dog at road course, autocross, and drag. Wanna run 6's, well you aren't going to be making any turns. Want to kill it at road course, well you aren't going to be running 6's.

I appreciate a balanced car and enjoy keeping up with lap times at the 'ring, and other courses. But, facts are facts, that shit doesn't interest the average consumer. What does the average guy do with his car? Stomp it on a straight stretch. People don't go buy Mustangs, or Camaros, or Vettes, or BMW's, or Mercedes, or Vipers, et cetera, for their skid pad results. It's horsepower, plain and simple. Are there people that make a decision based on the 'overall' capability? Abso-damn-lutely, and I applaud that. To suggest that line of thinking is even a decent percent of the market share, is without merit.
p.s. Europe can blow me. Ameristralia FTW.

What criteria? Horsepower? You're right, no one is playing the hp game over the last decade. Soooo....

I re-read your posts, and I must say it is staggering that someone would walk away from your statements thinking that you were advocating the power and/or 1/4 mile time is the only thing consumers care about.

And clearly you get to be one of the top three automakers by means other than selling cars the market wants since 2 of the 3 companies do not prescribes to the 'straight road blast' approach to car building.

The celebration of making the first corner caught up in the second!
