Default CAR

I just read the sports car article.

Tell us something new

Actually, I was unclear as to whether they were talking about TC, or not:

They banged on about the Porsche's PASM and gangsta wheels, but failed to clarify whether they were using TC on the Z4 and SLK. The Elise and S2K obviously don't have it.

I've just been for a slide or two, and feel that IF the S2K had TC, would the numpties complain about the back end as much?

I was surprised that the Z4 was as damned with faint praise almost as much the S2K. It is a German car, after all.

There never seems to be any real analysis any more, as the detail differences.

Mind you, I do agree the Boxta's vents (and stopwatch) are worthy of Korean crap and the SLK IS very classy.

They also fail to underscore the difference between a

I also read the article and totally agree our secret. They just seem to say the same things over and over again twitchy rear end and lack of steering feel. They also added that they thought the cabin was dated and they did not like the fact that there are 2 clips to release before dropping the roof. Some only had one!!!

I read the article and to be honest I can't fault it.

Main points they put about the car is:
1. compared to the others the cabine is dated
- ok, but it's erganomic and who G.A.S
2. The engine only picks up at 6000rpm "and what about the other 90% of the time you're driving it"
- The other 90% of the time I'm driving it like I stole it to quote one of the other members of this site so again who G.A.S
3. The tail end is twitchy
- Again a fact but something I know about and something I'm used to.

All in all this article I found was accurate and just proved every point I love about the S
