What makes a car fun to drive?

Postby Flannelman » Thu Aug 14, 2008 9:19 pm

Breaking it down, what makes a car fun to drive for you?

Yes there are lots of ways to have fun in a car :wink: but im sure we have all driven cars that only have had one of these options stand out more than the rest

Making it sideways smoothly always make me giggle like a school girl.

Grip is also fun, but in different way.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Don't think I've ever driven a car with lots of all of the above options :?

I've lived life in the slow lane all my automotive life.

Today, we learn one of Hanré's deepest, darkest secrets :o
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
