Golf Mk2 V8

Took me a while to spot the radiator : )

"There isn't room for a fan under the hood, so I had to mount one in the front between the bumper and the rad. It's a pusher fan and is a high flow unit. No cooling problems whatsoever!!"

I would love to know your thoughts on why you think they "don't design them very well"...

Dodge viper. Mustang. Camaro.

Can't think of too many examples off the top of my head, but none of those corner very well - compared to other cars made by different people, for eg audi's or lamborghini's or honda's for that matter. That's all I was getting at as I said they produce some mighty power but it's only really good for pissing contests (read: drags/straights) so to speak hehehe.

I have to agree with Mickey. America isn't exactly known for it's sports cars.

That's not really an answer, is it?

Mickey, I swear sometimes you just pull stuff out of thin air. You said "bigger is better" so would assume you were referring to the displacement of engines.

Anyhoo, if you're talking about handling, the Viper is one of the quickest production vehicles around Nürburgring - so it must handle pretty well. You can't really compare a Lamborghini to a Mustang - maybe to a Ford GT - which would out-handle pretty much anything Lambo has to throw at it. Then you have the likes of the Corvette and even Cadillacs that handle extremely well considering their (your) philosophy of "bigger is better".

I was particularly talking about engines anyway.

I'm not saying they make the best cars in the world, although some are definitely up there. It just pinches a nerve when "enthusiasts" (I use the term very lightly) make outlandish claims based on... I have no idea. Being one-eyed maybe? Chinese whispers from other "enthusiasts"?

the didge viper was the quickest around nurburg untill the new GTR knocked it off the top spot, and people say they cant corner, some people just make this stuff up or what?
