if I remember correctly Dodge Stealth many years ago, I think early 90s, was bragging that it was faster than a Ferrari from zero to 60 and I think Ferrari was embarrassed by this.
Quote: lilredroostercorrect me if I'm wrong but I've heard that at least during certain eras American muscle cars were flat out faster than the European supercars meaning Ferrari and Lamboghini. not to say that they were better or even in the same league.

Pretty sure you're right about the Stealth. Had a good friend in CA who had one (it was a 2008, I think). He had me follow him to service 20 miles away one day for a drop-off. We were on a very crowded I-80. I finally said (via text) good God, man, DRIVE that thing. I know which exit. And OMG, it was a thing of beauty. Mazda doesn't know from ZOOM. That car just went nose down and buh-bye!

If you're into that stuff, you should check out the story of the original Ford GT40. Ford went on a tear in the '60's, hell bent on beating Ferrari, and eventually did some 4 straight years in a row at LeMans. It's pretty feel-good.
"Flat out faster" depends on how you define "faster". Currently, I do believe the Hellcat holds the world title for acceleration, but only up to a certain point (1,000'? 1/4mi?), and that's against all the super and hyper cars out there, from Ferrari to Lamborghini, Bugatti to Pagani. Fastest period (last I knew) was being swapped back and forth between aftermarket company Hennessey and Bugatti. Fastest on the Nürburgring I think is Porsche's 918, but I watch too many hot laps to keep that one straight.
I never heard that tidbit about the Stealth. That makes me giggle =)
I believe the fastest car I've been in off the line was a Tesla Roadster. I cant imagine needing, or even wanting more speed.
Quote: billryanMy Italian car loving friends would ask who cares about what a car does in the quarter mile. Hopefully, you intend to drive it more than the length of your driveway.

I think the Tesla has the fastest 0-60 of any production vehicle.
I’ve read it’s due to electric motors having immediately having full torque.

your friends may not care but believe me the makers of Ferrari and Lamborghini care.
of course they're about a lot more than just speed but still it is an important part of their signature
I'm sure the engineers want to be best in everything.
The seat belt is just completely retarded and seems like its main purpose is to try to strangle you. The cup holders are trash as well as the general area between the driver and shotgun seat.
Have more than 3 people total? Well someone's gotta go in the back....yeah, that's like impossible to do, and no room back there either.
The darn windshield wiper + fluid button is super touchy, so even if you barely touch it, it's shooting out windshield wiper juice stuff. Oh, and the gas cap just opens right up. It's not locked. That's sure a great idea, mhmmm.
The media console (or whatever you call it, ya know, where the rear-view-camera picture goes, how you change the radio station, etc.) is complete garbage. The screen is tiny.
But yeah, they're fast.
Next time I get f***ed by a car rental place and end up with a challenger, perhaps I'll write a more in depth description of why the car is literally trash.
My hat is off to Chrysler 300's as those are excellent cars (no I'm not a drug dealer). At least for renting, they are. I heard they're bad to own because they're made poorly, but yolo, I just rent.
Quote: RSMy hat is off to Chrysler 300's as those are excellent cars
I think Chrysler 300s are very attractive cars - the body style - as attractive as just about any sedan IMO. also, very roomy
I was thinking about buying one but I just can't handle the Chrysler name and its poor reputation for reliability
yeah, I just posted about the Challenger because of the stats on its speed. no other reason.

I assume you were visting the immense WH sportsbook while there. Great result BTW. I have always thought it may be helpful to believe in god before you go into the Longhorn.

Quote: petroglyphAnyone have the scuttlebutt on why the Pioneer casino closed in Laughlin?
They had new owners take over the place May 1. You can still book rooms on their website.
I called, they said all their dealers had been laid off. Bummer, as they were all mature dealers.

I don't doubt at all that many of the American cars may be faster, but that is merely straight line speed. Many of the American sports cars, (the new Corvette Stingray notwithstanding) corner for absolute shit

So move!!! Jobs are plentiful in Las Vegas, pay is decent, and no state income tax. No family excuses, no friend excuses, no work excuses, just do it.

I have had my chance to move before, but I really like this area. 99% humidity is a little rough and a foot of snow is a little rough but other than that I love this area

I think Axel was offering you a room in his "house". I see that he put a dehumidifier in.

It's bad when you read something and actually laugh out loud when you are around other people. The strange looks that you get.

I also laughed out (although in private) at DRich's "dehumidifier" post. Well done.

Some opt in for the eyeball trim and clean. However, that is best left to the specialist.
