I dont ever remember the Evo I getting much tracktime, it was obviously there but it was nowhere near as infamous as the R32 was in Group A or other series. I think the R32 shines for its participation in motorsport alone

1. Towing at higher speeds, necessitating larger engines.
2. Towing with trailer axles located backwards for longer wheelbase and more weight on the hitch for higher stability at speed, therefore causing higher stress on the subframe of the tow vehicle and necessitating sturdier and therefore larger vehicles.
3. General lack of operator education, compensated for by overdimensioned equipment.
4. Possibly efforts by the American auto industry on vehicle ratings to curb the competition against their SUV and pickup truck bestsellers, without which they'd go belly up. It's actually not unreasonable to assume considering there's already favorable treatment of SUVs and pickup trucks in regards to safety and fuel economy by US legislation.

That camaro's suspension is struggling with what is probably only 1500 lbs at most.
The issue isn't one of power, it's about whether or not the car's chassis can handle the strain. For that car specifically, that's a very good way to grenade your 10-bolt.

They drive like shit, make uncomfortable noises, can't handle torque, aren't all that reliable, suck a lot of power, and are generally inferior to modern automatics (8 speeds is more than enough).

Would you rather have ridiculous overpopulating? Everything works out.

>>17656472
Do you know how many drivers there are in the US?

>>17656462

No you stupid faggot. You get insurance in the state the cars registered in. If you aren't registering it in your new state, then don't change the fucking insurance. It's not quantum physics you dumb fuck

>>17656476

well nigger if someone hit my car in the parking lot it seems like it would be difficult to explain when it's supposed to be garaged 400 miles away. I have a perfect driving record so i've never dealt with this shit

>>17656500

You're right I forgot how people never drive out of state or park anywhere else other than their garage.

Fiat X1/9 without bodykit

90KB, 804x537px

An actual exotic car that became a shitbox through years of neglect.

Fieros are shipped overseas so people can build kit cars out of them.

So probably still a fiero with a body lot.
