I agree with bart, car is kinda slow.

Nice list he passes... but he has to pass them more than once!

i'm betting that you can't make an S10 handle like an elise.

I'm waiting for the Solstice! All the handling, looks, AND performance for a fraction of the cost! Very nice looking car!!
(I'd still take an 87 Espirit turbo though, anyday! Colin Chapman = god!)

That's true, but I like the doorstop styling of the 87 better than the later models, and the balance and pwr:weight ratio was so good, it didn't NEED 8 cylinders to do the job!! It kept up with the Ferrari's and Porsche's nicely as it was!

(like I have a chance in hell of getting ANY of them at all!) Laughing
