Supercars.....aihzzzzz

Metallica Forever · Dec 12, 2005, 10:32 AM

I saw this Topgear episode where they compared the F430,the Pagani Zonda and the Ford GT.All 3 cars got stuck when they wanna get out of the underground parking lot.Becuse of how low these cars are.Plus if you have seen this episode they've also mentioned that the worst thing to drive in a busy road is a Supercar.Which I really really agree.My point is although Supercars are one of the greatest thing ever created by men those minor problems the drivers will face is just simply hillarious...dont you think.
A Supercar being practicle???**** YOU!!!!
A Supercar being unpracticle.....EXACTLY!!!!!

Tom Kristensen · Dec 12, 2005, 10:43 AM

Nah. A Ferrari is nice and practical. The cabin is very comfortable, and in busy trafic you can simply turn the gearbox into automatic. + They got various of settings, so the susbension can be all comfortable.

- Vanquish, SLR, Maranello, 612 etc. These supercars are not that bad though

Metallica Forever · Dec 12, 2005, 10:47 AM

No it's not......well anyway if anyone can afford one fuel is definately not a problem.Another thing is when you drive one of those you will worry.ALOT.Especially some kind of roads that are really ****up.......argggghhhh juzz dl that Top Gear episode and you'll know what I meant.Or catch it at BBC World..I juzz saw it this morning.

Tom Kristensen · Dec 12, 2005, 1:30 PM

Yeah. Luxury sportscars are much better... But they don't drive as good as real sportscars.

Either a luxury sportscar, or either an old widowmaker. Both of these can survive the parking lot. Supercars are too... yeah, unpractical. Not to mention the no-bullshít-sportscars... lol

And that's the reason why most supercars are bought to sit in the garage all day long...

Ferrari's aren't practical:
1. They have but a pointlessly tiny boot
2. They are absolute **** in stop-start traffic
3. They are very low to the ground
4. They guzzle down fuel like a Land Rover
5. The clutch on an Enzo only last for 3 full power startups

Thats why I want to be rich.

I can buy myself a nice 100ex and a veyron... Use veyron to show off, use 100ex to be comfy.

Tom Kristensen · Dec 12, 2005, 3:13 PM

Yeah. Supercars sucks. - So do sportscars.

We only got two choices nowaday. A boring luxurios sportscar, e.g the SL600, or a hardcore racer, e.g the Enzo.

In the good old days, there was somethign to fill the gap...

Now they either have to be as hardcore as a formula 1 as possible. Or either be as high-technological as a space shuttle, and as luxurious as a Maybach as possble... Meh!

Glad to see the Americans are reviving the old legends

.. But they will be filled with technology

Skyhook has to be the dumbest name for a suspension ever.

Anyways, what's the point of this thread? This stuff is common knowledge. What, did we have to wait for Top gear to tell us that supercars aren't practical?
