Another thing why the cars were different between the coast, and this is my opinion, is the guys in the rust belt east/NE were more blue collar so their cars reflected their drag racing heritage. West coast guys were always of a different tune. Not as blue collar as the east so they tended to be more "refined" (in their opinion)so they steered toward the forgein cars which were not drag raced in their homelands but came from a Lemans/Imsa/Formula one heritage. <font color="green"> You know the kind of racing were the male spectators wear a sweater around his neck. i.e. girly man stuff. </font>

Lemans is in France, run by the French right? Case closed. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm going to admit I can't stand Formula One etc. The noise those cars make sounds like a Singer sewing machine at full pedal plugged into a 240 volt wall socket.

To each his own though. That's what makes this country great.
I admit I probably put my foot into my keyboard sometimes too much but that's me.

Yeah, whitetop, those F1 motors really spin fast. Sounds like a bunch of attacking mosquitos! Shifting gears like they are playing a video game, with those paddles on the steering wheels. I like the sound of the early Ferrari V-12's though!

By the way, your car looks great Frank! I like the shrunken head... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
