So yesterday i was talking to a local guy who is really big into autox with his 1982 Porsche 924. After talking for a bit i got around to asking him how much power it was making and he came back with 145 whp and 150 ftlb! I was not expecting those numbers at all, but it got me around to thinking...

is it all about power? handling? a little bit of everything?
what makes a car fun for you guys?

 

Acceleration is part of it, but its mainly in the handling. If I can go fast in a straight line, it's no big deal... The twisties is where it's at!

 

For me it's the whole experience. As long as it's not ULTRA slow I am not that concerned with acceleration. I would rather have a slower communicative car that's pleasant to drive than a faster dead feeling car.

 

pretty awesome. the signature i mean!! hahah.

i think it's not the speed. it's the shape, feel, ergonomics, fun factor, and function of the car. the tiburon happens to be muscular. my favorite part sitting is looking at the two bumps curving in on the hood reminding you you're in a sports car. everytime i get behind the wheel, i feel like Mike Myers in a Camaro SS in Halloween 5.
