    Not the point at all.

    The fucker would go.

    That was the only point.

    Naturally, one must know how to drive a car like the Shelby in order to exploit/appreciate it's goodness.
    Which explains your aversion, no doubt.

    Naturalement. I've only been taught to drive good cars. Strangely there was never a policy of buying cars with a sub-standard suspension and then learning how to work round that. Go figure.

    The Shelby hardly possessed "sub-standard" suspension, it performed just fine for the car's intended purpose- which was to shrink Texas down to the size of Rhode Island or even Scotland, say.

    Indeed, it's absolutely ace for what it is, a big good looking muscle car with tons of power and absolutely no finesse.

    It's American.

    The funny thing is it's capable of over 180mph, but you have to put a restrictor on it. How fucking mad is that.

    Granting we're not blessed with an over-abundance of finesse (we've frankly never needed it, and besides, it's French), it is a glorious blunderbuss, and the type of status symbol that makes fashion models moisten their panties.

    I know naught of this restrictor business; I have never heard such silliness before.
