American VS Continental/European Sports Car ~!?

prrKA2 asked:

American cars used to be crude in the 60s and they are build with a single objective …. more horse power, faster and better timing and the most important thing in mind, to counter expensive and luxury Continental/European cars such as Ferrari and Porsche where they are famous for their power and also control and also comfort ~

Fast Forward to Present day …. how are the sports car from 2 different continent fare now ?? are American sports car still as crude and hard to control as the 60s ?? are the Ferraris doing any better or worse ?? you have your word …

please do not quote from any auto magazines website or anyone at all … own experience only … true and genuine ~~ thank you ~

Is the G35 coupe a “sports car” or a “gt car”?

Chigga asked:

Traditionally sports cars only have two seats, have a stiff suspension and are meant to accelerate. GT cars or Gran Touring cars are meant to be relatively fast but comfortable for long journies. The problem is The G35 is based on a real sports car, the 350Z. Although the suspension for the G is softer, it is still stiff, and the acceleration is comparable to the Z….so what is it? Sports car or GT car?

I am going with GT.

Whay are sports car steering wheels tight? What is their advantage, over a smooth steering wheel(like ES 330)?

narain asked:

All BMW cars have a tight steering wheel. Even the higher-end 7 series version which is supposed to be a luxury car has a very tight steerign wheel. For people who prefer luxury cars, tight steering wheel is not a comfort. Lexus on the other hand have very smooth steering wheels, and there is no difference in how you can handle the car, as opposed to having a tight steering wheel? I totally do not understand, why sports cars need a tight steering wheel. What is the big advantage of having this, and what is the disadvantage of having a smooth steering wheel.
I do understand that a tighter steering wheel will give you a quicker response, which means you don’t have to turn the steering wheel as much to get the wheels to turn a given distance. But that doesnt mean that the steering wheel has to be real stiff. It can still be smooth (not stiff, i.e lesser effort to turn) to achieve the same responsiveness (lower gear ratio) as that of a sports car. Why does BMW have a stiff steering wheel? Why cant it be smoother and still have the lower gear ratio. The only thing that turns me off with a BMW is its stiff steering wheel (in all its models- cars, SUVs). Making it to be responsive doesnt mean, that it has to be so stiff. In day to day use in regular driving on streets, you find it very strenuos to be turning so hard, to achieve the same thing , that can be done a lot effortlessly with a smoother steering wheel. Believe me i’m not a rookie, and i do know what iam talking about. Please try to explain it to me at that level. I appreciate your time.

Hybrid sports car on the horizon?

Chris V asked:

Is there concrete proof that a sports car hybrid (or electric vehicle) will be released within the next 2 years? I’ve only seen concepts and rumors on the net…
Thanks for the responses, guys. So it looks like Toyota is the way to go in the near future for a car under $50k… Unless someone can say otherwise?
