    Makes me think of the days playing NFS II: SE in my PC. :)
    They’re BOTH Class C cars (Sports Cars) in that game.

    Not to mention even though the Esprit V8 was the slowest car in the game, though, it still reach frightening fast speeds, I still have fun with this ride. The emphasis in skills over car performance in the highest race difficulty. :P

    @bishopkitch true, but the mustang v6 can’t do 0-60 in 4.6, it does it in 5.4. I love mustangs, but they aren’t supercars!

    @bishopkitch
    It’s only a 3.5l V8 designed to be compact and light.
    They supposedly had to detune the engine because the old Renault gearbox couldn’t handle more power.

    I’ve seen one on the road a few days ago. Looks absolutely stunning.
    Wonder how difficult it is to keep one of these cars going. They are relatively cheap to buy… but a twinturbo V8 developed and manufactured by a very small company in England and out of production for 8 years? Must be a nightmare.

    King Of The Kurb by EchoBelly. It’s a really good Britpop album.
