So, PinkoStinko, you claim, in the thread "The fantasies of little men

Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory your little Audi can beat
the ton-up average of a forty-year old Ford Falcon GTHO?

I reckon it would be a dead cert actually.

The question was posed to Oinkerton, not to you, Poopie.

UK motoring magazine 5th Gear recently ran a couple of 15 ? yr old classics
- a BMW M3 and a Lancia Delta Turbo HF Integrale round their preferred
track. They were fun to drive but only actually a second or two faster
thana Ford Ka and a Transit van.

Why should that surprise anyone? The entire suspension system of modern
cars is so much better developed, and front-drive now so prevalent,
that such a result is predictable. In fact, I signalled my answer to
this numbingly predictable response twice in the *thread title*, with
"Cart-Sprung" and again with "Old-Style".

I expect a modern Audi would entirely trash an old muscle car's
performance.

Why is everyone so keen to prove the obvious, that modern cars are
faster than old cars, just because I say a Ford GTHO was fast forty
years ago? You guys are like bantam cocks, your hackles always up.

Your obsession with old technology in all its forms is almost endearing.
