"The greatest grand tour-er ever made." Little did Richard know he'd define that twice in a row.

[@appelpower1]

Typical James, going the wrong way. On a boat. Before he's even left the harbour.

I yearn for the feeling emotion when enjoying the pleasure of a soulful automobile. I want that indescribable feeling of empathy in my chest whenever I corner, whenever the engines takes a breath out the back, or when it screams in a redline soaked fury. Not warranty voiding launch control mechanism or ten way traction control. I want it precisely my way; its my personal test, its the soul from the driver linked with the soul of the auto. And It will be that way until I rest. Preach.

[@OUTRID3R_117]

When he describes the Daytona retaining its essence despite its many faults, is the same way car nuts view old muscle cars - the car may turn bad, waste more gas than its rivals & not have a radio; but the car's soul never leaves. People overlook that notion all the time. New cars like the GTR & its entourage of KZbinrs can't process a notion like that. True fun doesn't exist for them. 0-60 times & blink of an eye shifts are what stirs them. The irony is they'd never track the car anyways.

I hope I'm not shot for saying this, but I rather prefer the Dodge Daytona over the Ferrari Daytona. In 1968, Chrysler unofficially tested the Daytona over 240mph at the Chelsea Proving Grounds. The Dodge is said to be the first car to break 200mph in NASCAR. But what's often neglected as that they mean a 200mph average. And when Buddy Baker was setting that record, he said the car was so stable it felt like he was driving to church. That's what they say today about the Veyron.
