60s Sports cars
Discussion
Not sure if this should be here or the lounge...
Anyway, I was flicking through the TV the other day and there was a top gear on dave (When isnt there?) anyway they were showing how the aston martin db5 and Jaguar E type whilst lovely cars were actually not as quick as advertised and not so great a drive. Certianly by modern standards they would be a hard drive.
Not having driven such a classic I wondered something.
Modern Cars have come on a long way in both reliability and performance, and though many modern cars have a tendency to be a bit dull, IMO of course how would a modern but normal car fare against a 60 classic on a track.
I suppose it depends on the car in question but i'm thinking, something mid range and average, so say something like a modern focus, astra or golf, that sort of thing.
How do you think they would perform against each other? would it be a good match. Or not even close? Performance is more than bhp or weight... they have different tyres, brakes etc.
