Not fair, not fair. Where are European cars? At least Germans?

Deeps · 13th April 2005, 14:05

Japanese anyday. Even europeans over Americans.

The only American car I really want is a C5 Corvette. I simply love it!

Based on the performance of the HONDA CITY, I would prefer JAPANESE as my option here

Driven a '96 Z28 (same as the Firebird) and '95 Mustang GT. Was really excited before the drive, but came away disillusioned. My fault for actually driving them in the hills maybe, but everything said about their handling and responsiveness is correct. Wooden steering, no feel whatsoever, notchy gearbox (especially the GT) and interior quality that resembled a Baleno!

I guess their positives are the V8 with mega HP for the bucks and low 1/4 mile times, but seriously, I got no thrills from driving them. Maybe fine for posing in the city (nice V8 rumble) and stoplight drags, but they fail as drivers cars.

Haven't driven a C5 though, but I just love it's looks! And, from what I've read, it's a far better drivers car than any of the pony cars.

If its a daily use car a jap is good

But when it comes to pure muscle... the shelby, viper n co redefine NIRVANA !!!!

As an everyday runabout a nice jap would suit me just perfectly but if i lived where the roads were developed then an out an out america muscle car like a Mustang or even a used GT (new ones are sold out).
