How do you judge a car?

[CleanNeon98]

Ive always had this debate with people, some agree with me, some dont.

Basically the question is how do you judge a car

a. the statistics
b. the end result

Got me thinkin again when me and my friend were arguing the new vette and he said it runs on leaf springs and has a 6 liter engine and i told him that I dont care what it has, the car is great. Curious to see how others percieve this kinda situation, not neccessarily with a corvette.

stats are good to know but your car can have all the stats it wants, it comes down to the driver, and what those stats do.

+1 for end result.

How it compares to the GT-R.

By how stretched the tires are. Isn't that how it works? Oh wait this isn't VWVortex. Sorry .... continue :mrgreen:



I say its end result

I can understand people not liking the new vette....but the new vette with the handling package outperforms the older model zo6's. I don't care what it has....it will spank most anything in it's price range on a drag strip or a track. Except maybe an elise around a track.
End result here. I don't care if it's got a boosted 4 or an 8 it's all in the performance and handling.

isn't this basically the ssame thread that keith started last week? What makes a "hot" car?

I judge a car by the way everything works together. Everything has to be done with a certain style and taste for it to look good, thus reflecting the end result.

Yeah but this one was started by Lex so its all good. :thumbup:

End result, racing by stats gets a good base, but nothing like real results to prove something.
