i weigh 400 pounds, i can't fit in that fucking thing. i don't even know if the suspension could handle me by myself, let alone my wife, her girlfriend and her boyfriend.

front wheel drive "sports cars" are fine for europe. not america. america has more varied roads. we have narrow mountain roads, wide sweepers, hills and flats of all kinds. this is why America tends to make cars that handle better than the rest of the world.

that car would need some carbon fiber track package that cost six figures while american cars only need all seasons and don't even need a limited slip differential.

I like using throttle while cornering. The feeling when your suspension squats to the rear then settles and you ramp up the throttle and it accelerates as you’re cornering instead of having to lift and be super gentle, that feeling is amazing.

>>28978212
no, I said it has more varied roads. more variety. You can find sweepers in europe and Japan, but nowhere near as big as the ones in america and nowhere near as wide. pikes peak is a mountain pass that is taller than anything in Europe or Japan. americans have more roads of all types than any other region. It's why the rest of the world comes to america to test their cars, but american brands don't have to go outside america, unless they specifically want to test on the nurburgring.

so europe has twisty roads, and not much of anything else? thanks for proving my point that america has more variety.

yellow roads are already borderline straight, and there are plenty that aren't twisty enough to be highlighted
>>
>>28978249
you can't do high speed testing on any of those roads, which is why keonigsegg comes to america to do top speed runs. you aren't helping your case at all.

top speed runs happen on purpose built tracks, even in the US
>>
>>28978252
keongisegg's last run was on a road in vegas. SSC did runs on roads for his first car and his last one before switching to an airport.

top speed runs haven't been done in purpose built tracks in america for awhile.

There are some very boring highways like the autobahn too.

>>28978264
very few european countries have an "autobahn". all european countries have highway systems, but they're not comparable to the ones in america or the kinds of speeds you can reach on them. This is ultimately why europeans worshiped front wheel drive while america didn't. you guys have tons of twisty roads, but that's it. if you made a track up of nothing but hairpins, it would be a shit track and wouldn't test a car's handling capabilities at all. so all you'd get is a car that is good at low speed cornering but shit at everything else.

america and american cars give you both. hence the camaro beating entry level cars like the Yaris GR all the way to high speed super cars like the R8. europe doesn't make cars that do it all. it's difficult because their environment doesn't let them do it all, either.

I don’t know, man. Tight corners are best with RWD short wheelbase.

your manufacturers coming to america to test their cars seems to speak for itself. they could just stay home if everything they needed was there. the only reason american manufacturers come to europe is for the nurburgring and nothing else.

>>28978283
so you're a retard simping for europeans despite their own manufacturers coming to america to test. makes zero difference to my point.

>>28978285
Yes a sportscar should be fun.
Also lol a high performance mini lmao.

>>28978288
honest question, how is it simping to say they have both straight and twisty roads in europe?

>>28978297

did you completely miss the point of this conversation? you really must be retarded.

Convertibles and performance can't be in the same sentence.

>>28978305
your "point" is an unprovable nonsense claim
Koenigsegg did their top speed run on that highway in Nevada because it's in the middle of nowhere and they could afford to close it down.
Bugatti did their top speed run for the Chiron on a test track in Austria, and have had it within spitting distance of 300km/h on the autobahn. That chinese EV did its top speed run on a test track in Germany. None of this proves your point either way.
>>
>>28978315
nta but have one, it's fun.
>>
>>28978319
you already proved my point here>>28978242. What mountain roads does europe have that are even comparable to pikes peak? everyone goes to pikes peak to race, and even build wild cars for. no one goes to this>>28978277 to test anything because it's shit and wouldn't even test anything but a shitbox performance.
>Koenigsegg did their top speed run on that highway in Nevada because it's in the middle of nowhere
there are middle of nowhere places in europe, too. the roads just aren't up to testing on. notice how when people do test cars in europe, it has to be on a test track. an artificial road designed for the purpose and not coming from the town's construction itself. you just dug your hole deeper with these examples. you can get within "spitting distance" of 300km/h on the autobahn, but you can go beyond it on a basic bitch american road. america is the best driving place in the world. sorry this bothers you as a self hating american cuck.
