Maybe it's because we were recovering from a world war, you imbecile retard. Americans are always quick to loudmouth, they never fought wars on their own soil.

The first Porsche 911 was build in 1963, it was one of the best cornering cars of that time.

As Porsche increased the displacement by 1969 it also became the fastest german production car, driving 230km/ or 144mph.

Also, the Porsche was desinged for corners, not for speed.

Look, the 2000GT is fucking awesome and looks amazing, but let's be real, it's very very similar to the E-Type. Even though it's prettier I wouldn't call it particularly memorable.

>>16499387
Plenty of Daytonas and Superbirds were sold for street use. It used to be a requirement for NASCAR. Fact is, that's why they looked so fucking weird. In order to race NASCAR, homologation rules were in place. Same body, same engine, available for retail purchase.

That's the street production version. The Daytona is the Race version which went 200mph.

No less reliable than other cars of the time, although more of a pain to fix and harder to find support for because it's so unique.

Tbh I find the 2000gt much more memorable than the E-type. I doubt any normie on the road would recognize either though

Where do you think the "Stock Car" in NASCAR came from? They came from the showroom with that wing.

>>16499406

they were both made for homologation purposes

>>16499404
That car was still a far later design than the 1963 Porsche 911 and still designed as a race car oposed to the 911 sports car.
Also the 911 was made only 15 years after we started to have a free market.

The 911 was still supririor on real tracks like the Nürburgring or other tracks.

>>16499165

Plenty of people bought them. All of the Euro cars posted in this thread so far are out of the reach for 99.99% of Europe's population.

ITT: eurostan so far into damage control they cant even see the outrageous obsolescence and incompetence of their trash auto manufacturers

Reminder that the UK built the first land vehicles to go over 150mph, 200mph, 250mph, 300mph and the first supersonic land speed record.

Americans can't even go in a straight line

>>16499444
>out of the reach for 99.99% of Europe's population
Nope, Porsche 911 sold way better than plymouth superbirds.

>>16499444
many sat on the lot unsold until the price was slashed or the dealer modified them to make them look like normal Chargers or Road Runners

hell 6x more of the SEL I posted at the start of the thread were sold than Superbirds

only 1800 of them were in the US

and oh yeah this gigantic ass luxury sedan ran the 1/4 in the same time too

All you have to is watch British car reviews on YouTube or watch Top Gear. Any normal car they review is almost always a diesel. There's even "Why don't Americans like diesels" threads all the time.

You people drive shitboxes, we drive fucking trucks. You know why? Because FUCKING AMERICA, that's why. We buy trucks, because we get shit done.
