The relationship between American cars and British racing fans can be dicey at times, it must be said. Too powerful with not enough focus on finesse, agility or braking. Too heavy, too softly sprung, way too large for their own good. And for the most part…yeah, there’s some honesty there, even if their idea of criticism tends to grate on American nerves. Look at a Mini, look at a Ford Galaxie. They both compete in the same race. One has the torque to stomp wherever it goes, the other will corner like none other and with more than half of the engine size missing, will hold their own. And that’s historically been the case, one against the other.
But just as we can appreciate the mini as a tiny car that can uppercut whomever, whenever, they can appreciate those thundering engines that live on torque. They might make fun of NASCARs but they can appreciate the fact that they work. They get on their feet for Camaros and Mustangs, they get misty for the Ford GT40 and Cobra, and they can even appreciate the more rarely-seen cars like an early Plymouth Barracuda and the lead photo, a Studebaker Lark Daytona that looks absolutely monumental.
Who gives a s*-t what Eurotrash thinks!
