Default Re: Point/Counterpoint: DOHC v OHV

I accept your opinion and that is great that you like European cars. I have driven a porsche 930 turbo and have owned 3 audi's since my ex wife liked them. I am not a stranger to euro or asian cars. As far as a sports car 2 seater I would only own a Corvette. I could buy any other car but I just feel at home in a corvette. There are euro cars like the Aston Martin, supercharged Jag, Mercedes SLR etc.. that are wonderful cars but I would not own one. I feel that the German cars are just way to overpriced so i couldnt drop that kind of coin for a german car without warranties. My last brake job on my Audi A4 was $2,300.00 to replace pads, rotors and calipers since you cant turn audi rotors etc... just too much money for a not so good car. I am glad there are people out there buying all kinds of cars so it keeps the hobby going. I like the Ultima GTR with a American V8 stuffed in it or maybe even a stroked LT5 inside. I did say I hate Ferrari's and maybe that is a bit harsh but in reality I wouldnt own one thats all. I dont like Porsche's not even a little bit. To me just a overpriced Karmen Ghia on roids. If I wanted a little car then I would invest in a ERA Cobra continuation car with a 700 hp supercharged Ford Coyote inside. Now thats fun and its DOHC!! Of course for everyday driving I enjoy American luxury cars. I have had many Lincolns. I sold my Lincoln Continental with a DOHC intech engine that ran great. Now have a low mileage Lincoln Town Car luxo barge. Gotta love it. I go from my Lincoln to my ZR1 so I got the best of both worlds. Thanks for you comment.
