Junk all this ABS / EBD / Stability control lark and make the driver learn that the foot controls are not on / off switches. Get rid of the stupid looking 19 inch rims with rubber band tyres that even the most mundane cars seem to come with now and get back to rims and tyres that dont kill steering response and that allow the car to move around.
The GTR just leave me absolutely cold  |
I admire your enthusiasm!!!
One word, safety.
You'll find car manufacturers going out of business through lack of sales because their cars aren't safe enough. All those electronics are trying to keep the car on the road at all times because there are so many noobs out there who see Schumacher, Lowndes, Brock, MR FUCKING BLOCK and think that they are the worlds bestest drivers (probably shouldn't have added Block in on that sentance). Also as the GC8 at 1250kg odd evolved into a safer car (read: more crash friendly) intrusion bars etc were all added in the hopes of keeping people alive at the expense of more weight and yes, less 'feel'.
