So with the "debate" in another thread about drivers aids etc it got me wondering
We have become very used to things like 300bhp FWD / RWD cars which are using quite a lot of technology to make them easy to drive with that amount of power
If the tech making this easy disappeared would you still drive what you do now
So the sorts of thing I mean, ABS, traction, active stability systems etc
I think I could do the TT, its not the most powerful, its got good balance, its got plenty of tyre for the power etc, its 100% Audi in that its pretty understeery so would naturally retard enthusiasm in eg the wet.
But make it a dark rainy night down country roads with mud etc, I think i would be cutting back a lot.
More than anything though i am thinking cars like Civic Type R, or things like M140i which to all intents are easy drives considering the performance. I cant imagine most of these cars would sell in anywhere near the numbers they do now without all the tech. I think a 140i would be a scary prospect on a wet dark country road to even drive remotely close to what you could do now.
Just curious what others think
