It’s a characteristic that’s more relevant today than ever before, with our crowded roads and draconian electronic policing.". Its also why sports cars, true sports cars, are open 2 seaters. Things like an M3 might well give far greater performance but its a hot family saloon and not a sports car. Last edited by howard; 25/02/21 01:46 PM.
