At long last!
There is someone on here claiming to be a car guru knowing all there is to know,well I have to say I am humbled by your claimed extensive knowledge.
Really now,saying that all american cars are all unrefined and underpowered is a bit like saying all Jap cars are copies of someone elses designs (rip off / copy merchants).As for racing on B roads,surely that is illegal & perhaps the Directors of Future publishing wouldn`t like their Forum to condone it.I`ve had a few Jap cars in my time & yes some even had leaf springs & drums which for most car companys were still in use up to the late 70s.In fact Nissan made the Ford model y under license under the Nissan branding.
At the momentI`m lucky enough to have two USA cars,three Brits & a company Monaro............So,while trying to "get over it" as you say I`ve had a look under the......
Plymouth,Yes there they are,two cart springs n drums all round....Built in 1968 you can only really compare it ith other cars built up to that date.
Corvette, er,no cart springs to be seen anywhere!!!! LSD,IRS,inboard rear discs,
company Monaro, This is the GM Pontiac with the proven Chevy 350 with body designs & re build by Holden & then badged by Vauxhall. Er,no cart springs or drums either.
So,being a car guru you do of course know all of this already so I posted it any way so everyone can then lean what you aleady know.I also typed it very slowly as well so you could read at your speed without moving your lips.
