I'm sorry but this is what you said:

Lord, American cars really can't do anything...except rattle and
gasp.

Yup. And no american car doesn't rattle and gasp.

Your point?

RB

Look Boobass your trying to look hip with the trash talk that was popular back
in the late 70s. Things have changed. Latest reviews on the 2003 Lincoln LS
state that it beats the 540i in the handeling dept and my 2002 with 50k miles
doesn't rattle. To top it off I'm sure you haven't ridden in the Saleen S7 so
you can't comment on that one either. Buy the Subaru ... it fits you
perfectly.

I can't even find a mention of the Swolleen as the "fastest car."
Please post the numbers!

Well first you have to spell it right. 0-60 3.3 sec. Top speed 220 +

F40 is faster at 237. Isn't the US built Mclaren doing 235?

No. Get a life and go away.

LOL........... I told you you were living in the past. The F40 hasn't been made
for years. The F50s 0-60 time is 3.6 and it's top speed hasn't been proven and
the McLaren will do 231 but looses to the Saleen S7 from 0-60 by a tenth.

So the McLaren is faster, but the Bugatti beats them both.

In the mid-60s engineers 3 years out of school easily earned over
$10,000/yr. A nicely furnished apt fronting on a heated pool, with
carport, cost $85/mo utilities included, or buy a new house for a year's
pay. MGBs cost $2995, a well appointed vette $3500, XKEs or Cobras (the
real ones) $5000 and Ferraris $10 to 12,500 depending on model. Gas was
two bits a gallon and Jet Setters were whining that the "American
peasant" had had it too good for too long!!

Don't like sport cars? Fine. You could buy a Renault Dauphin, a nice
little 4dr that seated 4 in comfort and got 35MPG, for $1600 or a well
optioned US V8 for $2500. A '68 HO GTO could just pick its left front
tire off the ground headed for a 12-second 1/4 mile, and it cost under
$4000! Of course it'd only do 130 but ...

Now we got cars that go over 200, but they cost over $200,000 too, and I
don't know many "American peasants" in their mid-20s who can afford one.
Ain't progress grand?

I see, and you have driven how many of these beasts?

Well Bud if I posted "nobody knows" that means neither I nor anyone else has
driven one. AND I don't think I ever suggested that I did anyway.
