’1 Sieger, 42 Verlierer’ klopft der rotlackierte PS-Protz gern auf’s Blech. Doch führt ihn sein Ego-Trip nicht auf’s Siegertreppchen, sondern ins schräge Wüstenkaff Radiator Springs. Dort lernt die hochgezüchtete Präzisionsmaschine bei liebevoll-schrulligen Land-Karossen mal einen Gang zurück zu schalten und erfährt warum Trecker schreckhaft, Mähdrescher ziemlich dämlich und Rostlauben auch Autos wie Du und ich sind. Und dass das wahre Glück im Leben nicht auf der Straße, sondern manchmal auch ein paar Meilen daneben liegen kann…
2004 Corvette Z06 Just your run-o-the-mill badass Z06 roadster. The C5 Corvette was literally built differently than all GM products leading up to 1997. 0.29 drag in the wind tunnel.

Third-generation LS1 V8 was overhauled to an all-aluminum block, utilizing ignition coils replacing the distributor of all previous small-block engines and new cylinder firing order. Rated at 345 bhp and 350 lbs. ft. With 28 mpg highway mileage it avoided the gas guzzler tax. Another trend set by Corvette was Run Flats Tires became standard equipment in 1997. The most important of all refinements was the transmission being moved to the rear of the car right between the wheels aptly named trans-axle. Of course the significance of this was Corvette now had a more even distribution weight to the tune of 51% in front 48% in back.

( www.TFLcar.com ) What are the most Fun To Drive cars of 2013? We at TFLcar are lucky enough to drive many of newest cars and models first. That’s why every year we compile and award our annual list of the Top Ten Most Fun To Drive Cars. These are vehicles that the team from The Fast Lane Car have already evaluated and consider to be special for those who enjoy driving. These vehicles (see video) are not specifically sports cars, nor do they have to be expensive or rare. To qualify, these vehicles must be available for purchase in North America, available for the staff of TFLCar to evaluate prior to the new year, and perhaps most importantly they must put a huge smile on your face when you get behind the wheel. That’s why we’re proud to announce in this video part 2 of the 4th annual annual TFLcar Ten Most Fun to Drive Car Awards.
