answer:Nope. I have a fast car, a BMW. But it is not loud, and it drives smoothly and tight. I have thought American muscle cars as useless and uncomfortable and poorly designed since I was a teenager. I have driven a lot of those cars, (‘63 Corvette Stingray, ‘68 Shelby GT 350 Mustang, ‘68 Toronado, ‘66 GTO, ‘72 Camaro) and Detroit never learned the elegance and true motoring capability of the automobile. It is the clumsy awkwardness of NASCAR compared to the insouciant finesse of Formula 1. Noise is wasted energy. And Hot Rods are designed to go a quarter mile and that’s it. I’d rather have a car that can drive up Highway 1 from Malibu to San Francisco in three hours.
