Please explain.

Now obviously these guys are way bias. But dude did buy a ford gt(so he doesnt hate american cars that bad) He did return it later though.
Now im not saying the new c6 isnt the best handling vet ever, I just think it time to ditch the Leafs.



I'm sure that for a lot more money, they could have developed a more traditional sports car suspension that doesn't perform any better and adds weight.





I guess im just not a fan of Big displacement pushrod engines in plastic cars with leaf's.(dont car how much power it makes)
Id still rather have an 03,04 cobra.



Explain this one. You criticize the vette for being antiquated in some ways, and then choose the Cobra as something you'd rather have?

The big 7.0l pushrod is significantly smaller and lighter than the ford engine. Oh, and it's got a higher redline to boot. Again, they could have made a ZR-1 like engine that weighed more and threw off the balance of the car and raised the center of gravity.

Basically, they chose what they chose for performance and cost reasons, not tradition.
