That must be an early 2000's or 1 of the lower priced corvettes because I'm checking the prices on the chevy website and if they have THAT kinda suspension on the Z-6 or the ZR1 then i might have ta relinquish my love of them.
That being said, i probably wont.

Although i agree with you. Good example is 70's cars. Nearly everyones could actually take a turn. and ours didnt really turn.
they really sort of "aimed" for it.

I say this partially out of experience as the handling on my malibu isn't exactly top notch yet.

That being said I'm not sure if the car companies here are just stupid, poor, or filled with a bunch of executive retards. (GM doesn't count there already a bunch of executive retards).

Thankfully at least 1 company here in the US may soon be in good hands. Dodge-chrysler is now owned by the italian car company Fiat. And there pretty damn good cars. I'm actually hoping to get a hold of the fiat 500 when it takes its jump over here in 2012. Also means that chrysler might actually go back to making decent cars again.

@Insanityphr33k - Really?? Fiat own Dodge/Chrysler?? I don't know if that's good or bad really... Fiat aren't exactly renowned for build quality over here. I had a Fiat Stilo before my current Mazda 6 and whilst it's basic options where really good the overall feel was not great, the Mazda on the other hand is fantastic... But, if you want a really badly built car, anything made by Peuguot is the winner...

Back to US cars, I've had a few hire cars whilst visiting Florida and I've loved them all, especially the Chrysler 300C and Dodge Charger, the only thing I don't get is the auto gearbox, when you go to pull away they take several seconds to react, whereas my Mazda, which is also an auto, reacts as soon as I touch the accelerator / gas (I do also drive manual / stick). Is that just a hire car feature or is it the norm on American cars??

BTW, I've changed my want list...

..and it's a Honda...









And for pick-up lovers

My god, my god, what have you done to that del sol.

actually you made it tolerable. lol

I wouldnt know honestly about the automatic, but then i dont drive a modern car and the modern car i have driven is a manual 06 mustang.
It may just be american cars *shrug*

Fiat's not bad tho. the panda, 500, and.....that front wheel drive convertible are both rather nice.

but ey anythings better then chrysler at this point.

If the delay you noticed where on the dodge cars could have been the throttle there drive by wire and stock they leave alot to be desired. My Jeep has one and it sucked i replaced it when they did the hemi install.

Newer american cars are getting to be very good and reliable. I used to like the rice burners but never like that they had no balls off the line. But again this was years ago and i am sure there some some strong ones out there now,

The 5.7 in my JK at the rear wheel has 405 HP so besides being fun off road it fun on road to lol.
