The F1 had those silly windows, too. But yeah, nobody is going to track this.

First gen Neon, first gen Intrepid, 1st gen Avenger, 1st version of curvy-hood ram, Grand Caravan in a long design cycle. Last year of first gen Viper. Eagle still around.

No Hemi and still the last dregs of the k cars but thats a pretty good domestic lineup. Plymouth though. (They had the best-looking Eclipse)

Their most reliable cars were made by Mitsubishi.....

No hybrid stuff or AWD or anything silly.

Except the lower door windows, those are pretty silly.
Against the P1, it just looks ugly and like something from a Saints Row game.

Really high mu, really high mot. So that makes some sparks.

I went out one night and bed in some pads for someone who was going to the track the next day, but they were only dtc30s or something. So a nice healthy glow when I rolled through the lot but no sparks.

I wonder if Carbotech XP10's would do that? I guess it would be less noticeable as I bedded them in during the day.

mu (μ = greek letter, that's just how it's pronounced "mu") is just an engineering term for friction coefficient.
