Hello 90s car design!

*edit: irony is that 90s car design was soft and had no coherent lines, 2010s design is hard and has so many creases there's still no coherent lines.

I think the discussion here is from doubts over whether Das Volk just had bad luck or if he did more than the average owner to rough up the cars.
The Viper was for sure a common issue with their motors.

Jamal was talking about cars (C6z, C7z) that I don't think DV had. I think he had a normal C6 and his issues were with with the targa flying off and some interior poo poo.

However, DV seems hard on cars but I agree some of those are known issues. I had a CTS-V and the wheel hop was pretty bad but nothing broke in the short time I had it.

I think Das Volk, more than being hard on cars, just has STUPENDOUSLY bad luck.

Das Volk bought fast cars and beat on them, they should be built to back the cheques their marketing was writing.

True, this is pretty much par for the course for anyone that actually drives their cars hard and doesn't really try to hold back.

No more than Ferrari, Aston Martin, or any of the other vehicles Corvette went up against in its class.

I think they'd already issued the recall for some cars when his popped the top.

Yet ferrari's still catch fire, too.

To be fair, the endurance car is far different from the street car. Different engine, suspension geometry (no leaf springs), etc.

They're marketed as high performance. Use that performance and the car explodes? Failure to achieve marketed ability.

Chevrolet suspended production of the Z06 last year to fix the overheating problem, FWIW. Should start up again soon if it hasn't already.

Like working on a PT cruiser would be easier and better.

Everything here is wrong except the rotting suspension bit. That does diminish the fun and handling.

That looks a hell of a lot neater than I'd expect had you just described it. Could all be a death trap underneath though.

There's no way it's held together by anything but chicken wire and bondo.

Yeah but Spintires has save and load features, and Russians are returned to the genetanks upon death and repurposed into a new worker for the hive.
