On: How the most popular cars in the US track drivers

[vGPU]

I've always wanted to drive one of those. Sadly, it will probably never happen now.

My personal favorite was a beat-up manual C5 vette. Clutch drops at 6k all day long. Seat sliders were broken so it would wobble around rather alarmingly. Mufflers stolen by some hoodlums.

Incredibly fun.

When I was 15 my mom's boyfriend wanted to impress me. We went for a ride in his candy cane C5 one evening, hit 118mph on the interstate on ramp.

Really gave me an appreciation for that powertrain...my mom was less appreciative.

Come to think of it, that's probably part of why I loved the thrill of an MR2 when technically driving at legal speeds

I agree, small, low slung manual cars let you have fun without breaking too many laws. You can’t do that with modern cars anymore. I took a c7z for a test drive. Took it sideways going ~75mph, but the car was completely numb and unfeeling. I knew that it wasn’t the car for me, because I’d kill myself or someone else trying to eke a thrill out of it.
