Of course, gbaji's right as usual. We're all lined up on muddy cart-tracks waiting for the invention of blacktop and for the castle walls to crumble so we can see ahead
We have long, straight Motorways and Autobahns / Autopistes / Autostradi.
So do you.
You have ludicrous speed limits that mean you can never legally realise the potential of these muscle cars.
In UK it's 70 (with an acknowledgement that unless you're driving like a nutter or in heavy traffic, you're OK up to 85 or so)
In northern europe the speed limits are either absent, 'advisory', or set in the high 80s and 90s.
As for our twisty roads, yep, we have 'em. And that is when a car (especially a good performance car) comes into its own.
Taking a curving bend at 50 with the steering wheel pushing gently back into your hand as you drop down a gear to power out is what driving's about.
Feeling the back wheels kicking out in random tail-slides is what happens in shi[Azure][/Azure]tty cars.
If what matters is going really fast in a straight line, fly a plane or take a train.
If you want to
really enjoy driving a car, get a decent European car and take it on roads where you push the gearbox, the tyres and your skills to the limit.
I've driven fairly high spec Pontiacs, Dodges, Corvettes and Mustangs. It's no hyperbole that for handling on a nice curvy "Driver's Road" they're crap compared to a decent European family saloon.
