Hello, all.
Thought (in the midst of all this this vs. that rabble) that you good people
might be interested in hearing about the Memphis Motorsports time trial during
Car & Driver’s One Lap of America. The straight skinny top five (in
semi-random order) were driving a Ruf Turbo Carrera 4, a ’95 M3, a ’95 Carrera
(actually, two Carreras placed), and I think a Cobra or maybe a ZR-1 or Super 7.
These results are fairly accurate…it’s been a few weeks.
Notable sights: Ruf Turbo 4 was awesome. Fastest on the track, sounded great.
Glen Dodd had a ’49 or so Jaguar with an LT-1 engine. A Ford F-350 dualie
placed (maybe even won) in bracket racing. Picture a Chevy Impala SS
(superCaprice) coming through a turn sideways and fast. Very impressive.
Other high-profile cars: ZR-1s, Cobras, new M3s and 911s, a DeLorean (insert
your own joke here), Dodge Neon (HAMSTER POWER!!!)
SO! M3 is much better than the ‘Stang, but for the money it oughta be. Try
comparing the Ford to something closer to its price…say, the Z28.
BTW, I saw plenty of Valentine radar detectors there, too. Brock Yates had one
in his truck.
