It's a great place to do some comparison shopping and with some luck the manufacturers you want to see will have knowledgeable people staffing their booths.
Speaking of which, my friend has one of these on order. I can't wait to drive it this summer at Mosport.
Which ones have digital dashboards? I doubt I would like them either. Video gauges would drive me nuts. I'm old school when it comes to stuff like that.
I'm with you. It's become stupid, catering to the ipad crowd who seem to think that if it's not on a screen it's unworthy. I'm old enough to recall when the 84 Corvette hit the street, one of the huge selling features was a fully digital dashboard. At first it seemed cool, but the Germans never drank the koolaid on it and eventually, analogue gauges won the day.
I like fast cars. That's why I go to tracks like Mosport, Shannonville, Calabogie, Mont-Tremblant. Drive as fast as I want, pushing the limits of the car with no fear of speeding tickets.
A little grumpy are we??I went to the car show a few years ago to see what the fuss is all about . I found out . It was so boring for me . Fancy little mid life crises cars that can go really fast . Big deal. Like who cares how fast a car can go or how fast you can go in 60secs . The speed limit is 100 k on most big highways in Ontario . Go any faster than that and you're breaking the law .
Many of these European cars cost a bloody fortune . No big deal if your daddy war bucks I suppose . Just look at the used foreign cars that that are available these days . Once the factory warranty is done people get rid of these cars . They cost a fortune to repair . No problem if you have deep pockets .
I'm a truck guy . Not interested in these fancy little mid life crises cars . If you see me on the road you'd better move over or speed up . Truck guy coming thru .
I especially dislike digital tachometers that fill up a bar instead of seeing a sweeping needle. But it wouldn't be a deal breaker if I liked the rest of the car.
Nope not really . Just stating the facts and how I see things . The Automobile Show was a waste of time for me . It's not for everyone but if it turns your crank then go for it .
That would be a lie .What does your insurance policy say? A lot of them will not provide coverage if there's an injury on the track and some will even cancel the policy if they find out you've taken the car to a track. Unfortunately, the evil insurers will always find a way to weasel out of covering their customers if they can find a way.
