There are benefits to driving a vehicle that isn't excessively attractive, and doesn't attract too much class envy, especially for owners who spend most of their time enjoying it motion, i.e. in the driver's seat.

Looks like asian cars are the perfect fit for you, then. Medicore looks, great engeneering.

A bloke I know let me have a waz in his Sovereign XKR about a month ago, the thing weighs over two tons and looks like an old man's car but got to 60mph from a standing start in 4.2 seconds, it was like strapping a rocket motor to an arm chair. As the only other cars I've ever driven are family panzers and a Suzuki Swift I was easy to impress with a hot rod like that but the thing was class. I'm glad Jag's doing well and have dealt with their reputation for being somewhat fragile.

There's only one new car that I've sat in that I like which meets those criteria, and it's made in Fremont, California. Is that close enough to "asian"?

The standing mile record in the street legal class has been dominated by the Ford GT since it's production. The reason being - there isn't a single car manufacturer on the planet that builds a better performing engine on the planet in factory trim.

The Ford GT has a measly 500hp at the flywheel in stock trim. The street legal class allows you to use any power adder you like but the long block (the engine internals) must remain bone stock.

This year they've pushed the bone stock 5.4L into 2000HP to once again claim the standing mile record @ 257mph.

You wouldn't believe how week Ferrari, Lambos, Jags, Buggati', AM's, Porche's drivetrains are in comparison. We're talking about a 30% increase in power and they would blow up on the dyno. The GT, on the other hand, has over a 400% increase in power and is safe. You just can't beat an American V8. That's why I use em

and a fun one showing the earliest twin turbo adaptation to the GT. That car eventually got to 1500RWHP on pump gas.

Pretty cool watch back in 2006.

And new Jags suck. Absolutely no character and slow as hell.
