Hot Car Takes

[Alan Applegate]

My bad as they say. My only defense is owning a Honda hot rod which IS front wheel drive.

I once owned a well-warmed over XR2 (250 HP out of 1.5L). It was fine in a straight line, but driving on a closed gymkhana when the turbo decided to spin up, or Lordy! It was actually worse than a Honda Type R.

The S2000 is the most over-rated sports car in history. Adjusted for inflation, it was $60k for a glorified Miata.

I had a friend who had a S2000 he was a 6'2" asian with spikey type hair and he looked hilarious when he was driving it. Those cars are not built for tall people lol. He looked like a Cheea pet sitting on a skate board.

Back in freshman year of college my friend had a 'Cuda AAR. We were getting on the highway late one night and I was driving and I asked him just how fast the car was. We were at the top of the ramp and he said, "hit it". A semi was coming under the overpass as I was starting down the entrance ramp - went around him dong 120 and the car was still climbing. For its time the car was quick; I think that an EcoBoost is probably as quick today.
