I had a 924 Porsche way back. Not a high HP car with that whimpy Audi slant 4, but holy Hannah (yeah pun intended) did that car ride the rails. It handled way better than any 'vette until the C4 introduction in the 80's.
Getting married and having kids spelled the end of my fun stage and introduction of the mommy van
Never been a Chevy fan, My cousin gave me a joy ride in his Vette, was not really impressed,
Ride was Rough, car seemed to be all over the place, not stable?
I had a few nice cars:
Datsun 240Z: The original Z Car.
Not the fastest car, but it was really crazy that it wanted to go more
But its a light car, limited.
My buddy's neighbor had 69 Mustang Boss 351, got to drive it.
I really don,t know how to describe it?
Very compact car and had TOO much HP.
I Babied it, not giving much gas, as I shifted into 3rd gear, it laid wheels! CRAZY!
Wanted to buy it, he told me I would Kill myself in it, Denied selling it to me
SVO MUSTANG : Worked as a Local Ford Sales Rep.
Went to POCONNO Race Track, PA.
Got a Hot lap in it from a Stockcar driver: Did 120-140 MPH!
The G Force was Nuts !, Putting my body against the panels of the car as we lapped.
I can not even think about how NASA deals with the Gs ?
87, Benz 300 Turbo D.
You may laugh? But once up to speed, it was a stable smooth beast.
Talking to a Benz Mechanic, it was designed to just keep going, no matter the MPH.
When the turbo kicks in, it sling shots and then calms down , keeping the desired speed.
I only got to do it once, climbed to 85 and I gave it a turbo boost.
It climbed up to 125/130 MPH.
I had to slow down due to the road could not handle it !
The car handled like it was maybe 80.
Now you know why there is the Auto Bahu, it has the room to expand the speed?
Yeah? Its nuts!
Lastly: Supercharger T Bird.
My employee had one.
He got pulled over due to speeding, obviously, they had a hard time catching him !
Trooper asked how fast were you were going ?
He replied 128ish.
Trooper shook his head and said have a nice day ! BYE!
