cintron Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Originally posted by petp well heres another one that we'll never see...the vauxhall vx220....(sorry, dunno how to include the pic in the body of the message) sadly ironic, isn't it, considering it's manufactured under General Motors, Europe.Same with the Focus RS. Insanely tuned little car, meanwhile it'll never be sold here because according to Ford and GM execs:"the competition heritage of these cars means little to the average american car buyer."In other words, Americans are a bunch of stupid sloppy beer drinking NASCAR watching ignorant fucks. Which we are.Just looking at the Impala and the lumina being marketed as "performance sedans" is enough to make me want to vomit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppanils Posted April 15 Author Report Share Posted April 15 Originally posted by joeg hahaha,and they'll both do the 1/4mi in the same time because a powerhardtop weighs A LOT.... but the hardtop has much more structural rigidity than a softop...

joeg Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Originally posted by bigpoppanils but the hardtop has much more structural rigidity than a softop... true... but its not a PURE hardtop... its pieces that interlock... not bolt together... so i don't think its going to be that rigid....a regular hardtop is just pieces bolted to the frame and bolted to one another... maybe someone else can clear this up, i'm not 100% sure...

jdogg Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Blame the Feds more than the companies - the feds have the crash/impact regulations that make many euro-designs not work domestically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then create your post and type then paste the address of the pic and then type [ /img] right after the address(without the extra space).If you want to show a pic on your PC, just attach it like you did here, submit it and go to your post and click the pic to get the address, click edit and copy it and do the same thing, like I did.Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
