Dude relax, Its not such a "complex" concept.
Everyone likes a good handling car, Im not a muscle car guy.
I love watching touge with light wt handlers vs bulky hi bhp machines..

IMO, a Lotus with its 4 cylinder corolla engine making 200+ hp is more venerable than a BMW 335Ci or any American hot rod making 300+ hp. Probably I belong to a minority which prefers handling over horse power. I see that Ananthkumar has similar tastes... 70 hp roadster! |
Right but you see u missed my point..
I mentioned
price also whenever I made a point in my previous posts.
Why charge 35K+ for this simplistic 4 cylinder which belongs to a track day niche segement ?
dude also plz read my post I
very clearly said "outside of the track" its *** will get kicked in style for this price tag.
Outside of the track on the streets where ppl do most of the driving this "simplistic roadster" will get walked over by some cheaper cars.
Why do u think I said "outside the track" ?
Its good on the track but on freeways, streets and drags this 36K+ roadster will not stand a chance.
Do u get what Im saying ...too bad u didnt get my point or understand my earlier post in the 1st place.. too bad some ppl are ready to give "bhashan" without giving other poor non technical souls like me a second chance...
hmm.. "O enlightened one what is the concept of power to weight ratio and good handling" ? plz explain us ppl its a complex concept.
If i want handling I'll get a lightweight Miata..
My point being ..the s2000 CR @ the given price @ this niche segment.
lets leave the "motoring nirvana" and educated and elite "minority" ka speech at home..
