ok sure luckily I found them in my internet cache files. basically someone had said the GT2 was very easy to drive, and difficult to kick the tail out. so I pointed them to this as some evidence, but also stated that I had a GT2 before (but had to sell b/c I couldn't afford it anymore oh well), and I found it was very easy to get the tail out, as you know there is no sign of any stability control or traction control or any aids such as this, which is underlined by these articles as well. good reads.

It was a great car and I miss it, the AWD version by comparison feels very tame, you could drive it every-day.

 

I wonder if people get what you are poitning out -- Namely it is possible for the tail to be both easy and hard to kick out...

 

what i mean by difficult to kick the tail out is, its easy to drive. if it was easy to kick the tail out, the car might be hard to drive, because its easy to lose control of the car, because its easy to kick the tail out. obviously depends on other issues too like tires, driving surface and conditions, incline, etc.

ps. you easily have the best car out of anyone on this list

oh yeah do you have pics of the 959? link?

I agree with you totally about the GT2... I have to e-mail pix of the 959 because I still don't know how to post here.

 

the bottom line is that the GT2 handles like a light, stiff, powerful, RWD, rear engined car is supposed to handle. That is not a combination for amatures. However, for an experienced driver that understands the physics at play and how to manipulate the car to do what he wants it is very rewarding.

I just chuckle when i read about the GT2 being possessed or a death trap or something. It is a true sports car. If you don't know how to drive it will bite you, as it should.

 

True, but will your Avatar -- "bite us, as it should..."

 

that legende of the open highwaye nowe yawninge on the casino floore. no more Knights of yore!!!

i will bet a cabinet of Cubans that roland will confirm that this lil' mama was more of a handful than a gt2.... a very famous car

thanks for the links. can anyone think of something more fun than a gt2 for canyon slamming? i cant.

 

she only bites me baby! GRRRR

 

I also wanna see pics of the 575. details too! color of the cars? options, etc.

thanks

Thanks, Watt. I'm moving to Nevada.

 

yes. i have a lot more pics from that series, that's the only one i can show on here though

 

OK. so let me get this straight.

You have a provocative picture of your woman. You post it as your avator on an online forum, for all the guys on here to see.

WHAT IS IT with you guys!?!? WHAT do you get out of this?? I've seen a couple other people do this kind of thing here. Do you wake up in the morning and think, wow I have a hot girl, and I want everyone on so-and-so board to see what she looks like with just a bra and panties on!!!!!!! OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I am so cool, they will be so jealous. You need to keep your naked woman to yourself. I tend to think I have a beautiful wife too, but you won't see me posting pictures of her all over the net for everyone to see, at least not 95% naked. ok unless maybe she was a stripper. Think about it seriously, you know it makes sense.

Like I said, handling on the GT2 is definately on the finnicky side, you have to 'rub it the right way' to garner the best results.

 

Hey my avatar is pretty hot too? Isn't it?

Watt: You are right. GT2 is quite the canyon slammer... although I have a feeling the 360 Challenge Stradale may be just as fun in a different way, when it's not in the shop of course

Other good choices would be Lotus Elise (not that I could fit in one), Caterham 7, and '73 RSR with a built motor...
