High profile tyres, soft suspension
Discussion
Anyone else gone from enjoying, stiffly sprung cars with little ground clearance and low profile tyres?
I have just restored a completely standard Renault 5 GT Turbo which has relatively soft suspension and high profile tyres compared to modern cars, I must say it does make traveling across our third world roads more manageable than in my modern everyday Audi. I am not old by any means but such is the deterioration of the roads everywhere (south bucks/berks) driving a modern performance car is just not enjoyable with these conditions...and don't start me on tax on fuel.
A friend today announced that he is to move to a far less sporty new car for this very reason.
I love the idea of an 997 GT3 RS on a track day but not on our roads.
