@1:25 "The car was totaled, but the guy survived" Only on a car podcast would it be worded that way and not "the guy survived but the car was totaled"

[@alfathinofajrian258]

I kinda remember during their episode of Ford VS Ferrari pt 2 where a guy who owns a Ford French dealership(who known to crash cars than race them) crashes the GT40 after doing a lap around the circuit, but the guy survived and only had a scar on his forehead

The final XJ220 was a compromise on top of a compromise; the XJ220 was originally planned to be a V12 - the same that was in the XJR-15 Sport (also developed by TWR). Due to budget limitations, it ended up with the V6 Twin Turbo from the Group B rally Mini Metro instead. People put in pre-orders for XJ220s and were disappointed when what they got had half the number of cylinders they were promised.

The Diablo is the perfect don't meet your heroes car. Chrysler had the honors of making one of the only Lamborghinis that was horrible to drive. They went for neither crazy exciting or luxurious, instead meeting in the bland and undrivable middle.

[@matthewreise120]

possibly, but I've heard the vaunted Countach is also a pretty horrible car to drive...and it's kinda slow to boot

[@joeleonard9965]

@@matthewreise120 I've never driven a Countach but I've ridden in one, and the 450hp is surprisingly quick but nothing crazy. The intake sound is to die for. I think the Countach works because it has all of the quirkiness and lack of practicality but makes up for it in a ton of character in the driving experience. The Diablo was slightly worse in handling but lacked the personality to make up for it. Only with 90s Chrysler quirks instead of italian endearing ones. The most accurate description of the Diablo I've heard is that it drives like a mid-engine BMW 850CSI, if you can visualize that.

[@matthewreise120]

@@joeleonard9965 well, you obviously have more real world experience with that car than I do (was just basing my comment on various KZbin vids). I think “quirky “ is probably the best way to summarize the Countach from what I can tell. Also never drove/ridden in a BMW 850CSI, so I’ll take your word for it! Take care man, have a good night!

Just going off data that was quickly available 2,885 Diablos were sold with an msrp ~$239,000 and 30 GTRs were sold at ~$310,000, bringing total revenue from Diablos to $698,576,000.00. If Diablo posters were sold at $5 it would mean that 139,715,201 posters would need to be sold to beat revenue from the actual Diablo. According to the world bank, 29.83% of the world population of 6.19B were kids (1-14) in 2001, which would mean 7.6% of kids around the world would need to have had posters (@$5) to beat revenue from the car.

I actually had a Carmen Electra poster but not a Diablo poster. Obviously the Diablo is BOSS- but my heart was still set on a Countach. (Countach is a weird word). I actually sat in a Countach once! Also the Countach seemed plenty big enough at the time- then again I was eight. (Eight is also a weird word).

[@leonardhopkins7341]

Sooo, my hot take from the question posed in the intro is: We'll probably never see another supercar golden age like the one in the 90's. There's, effectively, another HP war happening now but, what separates the time periods is, the 90's was a decade that, (IMO), had enough variance in the personality of the manufacturers and approach to individual cars, that they mostly had substantially different personalities and approaches. That still holds largely true but there's a sort of convergence/singularity happening now. Between economy standards and features-buyers/focus groups reinforcing the idea that everything needs to be in everything, sports cars are being dulled in personality, if not quantifiably. And that choose your own adventure/weapon/vibe/style, etc, is being whittled down. Now, this isn't to say new super and sub-supercars aren't amazing. F$*k ya, they are. Technology has progressed every aspect of cars with sporting intentions... Except, arguably, the visceral. That's a lot of why, older, slower cars are fetching a premium. You can't fake feel.
