Cars back then are soo simple to cars we have now....
Soooo much better is an older car...
The newest car I think I will ever own is from the 90's period...
Even my MR2 and my GT4 are quite a lot more electrical than what needs to be...
The GT4 more than the MR2 but I guess that is what makes the MR2 a better car.....
The difference is noticeable when driving...
I know my MR2 I slammed on rock hard coilovers and have the chassis braced up at both ends, but it still has the classic feel of a car that you are actually at one with... (Until it has a hissy fit and kicks out unexpectadly) but even that makes it more characteristic of an older car and that of which makes it an exciting drive....
There should be a company producing just simple, fast sports cars with the bare basics and no driver aids.... A car like that would surely sell well and has such always been a dream of mine to start a company producing one day given enough money...
A light weight box sectioned chassis, an enormous powerplant (probably turbo'ed - probably borrowing a few proven engines such as a RB- albeit steering away from simply made), could go V8 like an LS motor.., RWD OBVIOUSLY, maybe 4wd with a split to transfer more to the rear but then you are adding more weight and reducing your hp output through transfer, most probably mid engined.... Building the car around the engine, a classicly styled body, not like the ginormous heaps of junk they produce nowadays... (Has anyone actually noticed how big cars nowadays actually are?!!!) My MR2 has just the right amount of cosiness I have experienced in any car, like a snug cockpit...
, power steering to make easy parking/city driving (no pussy cr*p though), heating, elec windows, ONLY MANUAL! Probably a 6 speed box! 2 seats.
And LOW!
Pretty much it!
But hey....
Those are just dreams and that was just a rant...
