That why they were tanking before Ford bought 'em? You missed my point about most cars being designed with an American influence, because no matter where they're made, most are also sold in the US. The fags on top gear have the taste of a 4th grader, going for lime green neon mettallic clio's with so many wings glued to them they look like they were caught in an explosion at a model airplane factory. Their choices have the subtlety of a stomach pump. How about we work with averages, what do you drive? What do your mates drive? I just wasted yet another Mustang for the hell of it, and am about to order another brand new 300+ horsepower convertible for a daily driver. My own mother has a one off customized, lowered, kitted, normally aspirated Mustang with 40+ extra horses over the standard GT and a sub in the trunk. I've made industrial art with blocks she's busted. What does your mother own, an Anglia wagon ala Harry Potter? Peugot 206?
It's impossible to compare race circuits as logistically it's just too expensive and wastes too much time to transport an entire team across oceans. While I'm not a huge fan of NASCAR it does have it's place, the whole idea of the huge oval tracks is to allow them to run at 150 mph and more nearly the whole race without slowing down to 40 mph for the turns like an F1 track. We do the street courses over here, too. I live just south of one of the Rolex series tracks (as well as the fastest track on the NASCAR circuit, average lap speeds around 200 mph). I love the touring cars, you know the ones with working headlight and taillights and actual doors like the car is when you buy it, I watch the BTCC an Austral-asian circuits whenever I can, and the Dakkar Rally really kicks. But my point still stands, how many of these teams started in someones backyard like they do over here? How many of your neighbors are building a Focus Rally car in their garages?
Honestly, I started this just pulling your chain and you fell for it, I even said I was being facetious and you still fell for it. My attitude on this is the same as food/music/women/art/films/etc., there is no one best, just different, keep falling for it cocktard.
Just so you know my tie for (imo) most beautiful cars ever are the Aston DB5 and the 1950 circa Mercury.
Chevy's are shite.
And no, you can't have the London Bridge back.
