Yank tank vs small sportscar. My Corvette is 100KG heavier and has 200 more ft lbs torque than the Boxster S. They both have a 6 speed manual and we both paid the same for our cars this year.
Wow!! Even as a fan of Detroit iron I would've pegged the Vette as being a fair bit bigger than a Boxster Digby said:

It's a picture of a car and truck. It's some pixels on a screen.
Exactly - It's a car and a truck - Shock horror!, a massive American pick up truck is bigger than a tiny FIAT X1/9! Here's a news flash for you: Trucks like the one pictured dwarf most modern cars too because they're seriously oversized vehicles!
Had it been an X1/9 dwarfed by a modern roadster or small hatchback then it would have been relevant, but being dwarfed by an American pick up truck isn't really what this thread is about!
As it is, the X1/9 - Truck picture is about as relevant to the thread as this picture is (which I can only assume will please you greatly!):

Yes it is - move on!I do apologise for this one as it seems to be more in keeping with what I thought the original concept of this thread was, rather than just being big cars of no relevance next to classic/old cars:
My Google fu is failing me, but after seeing this comparing the Fiat 500X to the old Panda 4x4 http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/long-term..., the pictures of the cars together are a bit Father Ted small/far away with the perspective for a proper comparison. There must be some good comparison photos somewhere of an old Panda next to a new Panda or 500X.

The 'vette does look a good deal more petite than the boxster. Must be that large rump on the Porsche. It'd look even more miniscule next to that Maxi Mini a few posts up!Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
