And 300 mph would be quite an achievement.

I had to ask cause it IS an american car, I didn't know they also sold them in a kilometer flavor only.
Unless they have one of those fancy digital displays that can be custom set.

Did you know that there are different versions of the same car?

diff. versions as in mustang gt vs mustang saleen yes.. but something so trivial as the speedometer I figured they just slap both numbers up there like usual. And in the case of an american car I'd say if there's only one speed scale up there it would be mph.

and as far as abroad sales I didn't expect chevy to do that because exporting cars is not a big sale point for american cars...unless I'm a moron.

Yes, you can by corvettes overseas. And Chevy, like any other company, has a European market that only sellsEuropean models.
I don't know why they don't put both numbers on the speedo, but I guess when your exports aren't high-volume for a particular model, it's probably not a big deal to change out the dials for the few cars that need it.

Even those "american" models that both the US and Europe get often have both left- and right-hand drive versions. I think this is the same sort of thing.

there are a few ( about 3 ) Scoobies around me that pass by, and they have an awesome exhaust note.. but at the car show on wed, there was one that just sounded Down right Fucking Sinister, WOW!

My dad wouldn't believe me that it still had the Flat 4 in it, it was such a mean rumble and Viscous exhaust note when he was driving.. that is one thing that i cant get over with those things.

I was unimpressed with the race. They say the races aren't rigged, but when it turns out that Tokyo isn't a traffic jam, Clarkson conveniently gets lost for the exact amount amount of time needed for the other two to catch up? Puhleeease.

Also, what was the point of having the GT-R? It's a racer, not a touring car. Clarkson didn't get to push the car at all, or even review the car for that matter. It was a great video, and the race itself was funny... I just didn't see the point in reviewing the GT-R that way. TBH, I think they'd be better off racing the RS6 from last week, and using the GT-R against the skiers.

i can't say i like the shelby gt's. it's another poser car for people that can't build their own.
last month i tried to put a mic on my bumper and make a cool video, but the mic was too weak and was overpowered lol

agreed.

but a big goes to GM management.
They kill the car, the mustang owns the market for a while, they bring it back just in time for $5 fuel prices.
nice move

thanks.... though I don't think they actually have one built yet. Every photo on even the manufacturer website looks like a 3d render.
