the last camaros and mustangs were designed to understeer. combined with rwd's natural oversteer, you get a car that more or less goes straight.

yeah see i know enough about bikes to maintain it properly and all. but at the same time the car based bit bothers me too. it'd be a hassle working to keep it running lean enough. i don't know i'm still looking. it is a cheap and damn cool looking bike. reminds me of the old vincents of back in the 60's. or how they would take the three cylinder motor from the triumph and put it into the 1cylinder vincent and call it a tri vin and have loads of fun on the lighter vincent bike with a more powerful triumph motor.

Anybody been watching F1 this year?

Robert Kubica, from Poland, won his first F1 race in Montréal, Québec, Canada. First Polish driver to win an F1 race.

NBC is going through with their attempt at Top Gear.

Starring Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust, and Eric Stromer.

I think they should call it Fail Gear.

royal enfield has some wicked bikes and kits to trick out their bikes. the bullet with the cafe racer kit looks intense. i need to read more into them. honda though.. not feeling it. only beef is royal enfield really sticks to their guns and leaves the cylinders at 1. 22 horses just well... isn't doing it either. i might stick to the triumphs though.

Sorry not sonic, but the more and more I see pictures of the Camaro, the more I'm sure that I just do not like it.

The vert is a minor improvement on a shit car.

On the other hand I also hate the new Mustang design.

And in that case the vert is a minor downgrade on a shit car.

now will these cars come out here? if not just another reason for me to move to europe

Even if you move to Europe, I don't even think Lancia sells its cars anymore over in U.K. and Ireland area due to a bad quality reputation sometime in the 90s. But I'm sure you could still import one over to the British Isles.
