please explain?

Thom

Is it only the cars you underlined?

I'm not digging at you, but just a little surprised that you have picked a handful of dreadful cars (imo) from America's undoubtably very worst decade, apart from the Blazer, the cars that you have mentioned would have been strangulated anti smog cars, low HP and shocking build quality, yet 10 or 20 years earlier, American cars were at there very best, regards power and looks...

May I ask, have you ever owned one?

Regards power, 10 or 20 years earlier they had even less under power, they're at their best now regarding power.

I wouldn't say they're low HP, for average cars, they were around 240bhp, but it's all about torque as they're 350-400ft/lb, now they're pushing out alot more power.

They handle better than people think they do, usually people who've never driven one, let alone own one.

My Corvette I had surprised alot of people who were on the same bandwagon, with its power and handling, which was all standard.

Plus I picked cars I can afford.

Realistically, a 911 circa 1985 in black with the 5 speed box a very tidy 968CS or an E34 M5 touring. Otherwise, money no object an F40 or a 288GTO with a test drive making the decision (yeah right, it would be both lol). Id also have to rent a Mclaren F1 and a Bugatti EB110 SS.

Astra GTE

Escort RST

Cavalier GSI

Sierra Cossworth

Out of the price bracket is;

Lamborghini Countach

Lamborghini Diablo

Lamborghini Gallardo

Some like Ferraris, some like lambos, you can see what I prefer! Ferraris are too common and too showy for my liking. If you want a proper supercar, its got to be a bit mental like Lamborghini make it!  :grin:
Some may ask why the GTE GSi, well a mates brother whilst I was at school had one and took us out a few times, and I loved it from then! GSi, my old man had one and I loved it too. Got pinched 3 times in 2 years though!  :laugh:

Edited: Oh nearly forgot this one, a Lotus Carlton.  :drool:
