Driving Experience: Is it the Road, the Trip or the Machine?

by Jeff_L

Feel the power? No, it’s not you – it’s the car – but it sure can be a thrill to command the mechanical beast, and makes its powers your’s for awhile.

Some cars make no bones about being a beast. The offer engine noise uninhibited by the backpressure of mufflers. All wide ports, headers and straight fat pipes.

They offer wheels that can’t get going fast enough. They might spin a bit, smoke and lay down some rubber while hunting for friction then traction.

Get it all right and you get G forces pulling you into the back seat . . where this isn’t one.

And that’s just for starters, the second you pull away from the starting lights or line.

Then it’s a matter of holding the beast to a straight line or just the right line on a curved embankment.

Just another day commuting?

If only. ;)
