We have british members here and I'm sure they wont like brit bashing anymore than you guys like american bashing.

back on topic

How was what I posted off topic or "British bashing"? All I did was question how British a car built by a firm owned by Malaysians with a Japanese drivetrain is. Or is it you just don't like anybody saying anything contrary concerning Jeremy Clarkson?

A Panoz AIV or Mosler Raptor would have been more of match for a low production, purpose-built sports car than like an Exige than a mass produced GT like a Mustang.

Did I name names??? no i didn't! It was a general statement.
And I couldn't care less what people think of Jeremy..I have my opinions and you obviously have yours. I'm concerned only with the integrity of the thread in relation to the topic. As stated before it's strayed a bit but i was hoping it would get back on track. Now if anyone has a problem with how I mod this thread or any others..PM me about it.

What about the Vette? Not the ZO6, just the base coupe which is priced about the same. I wonder how that would do!

when it stands next to Stang it doesn't even look like a gokart,it looks like a Hot Wheels toy!
Mustang did really great in this comparo,remember how much more it weights.

Man, you take their posts wayyyyy too seriously. Holy smokes! They're just having fun!

Gee, that sounded familiar...

Also--somewhat off topic (uh oh)--since when are generalized statements exempt from the burden of truth?
