Owned a couple of RX-7's in the past. Loved their free winding nature as well as the simple maintenance. A tuneup was changing four spark plugs, the oil and air filters, and the oil.

I agree, it's an amazing road—parts four & five are in the works...

uh...not sure what that has to do with the Maserati— but right on...

I know exactly what you mean!

It's a tough line to walk, but fact is Ferrari makes more money on the brand than it does on the cars. People have a need to be associated with the things they think are cool and the gear is pretty slick.

I agree, Jalpa (an evolution of Urraco) was good looking. Chrysler didn't realize what they had in that car and should have spent money developing it further, rather than screwing around with Gandini's Diablo design.

And yes, I left the Diablo out. Here's why. In the overall scheme of things Lamborghini, Diablo is basically a bridge between the most iconic Lamborghini ever (Countach) and the highest performing Lamborghini ever (Murcielago). Add to that the fact that Chrysler forced all sorts of changes on the Diablo's original Gandini design—in the name of "smoothing" it out—and what you wind up with is something of a compromise. And, in my opinion, compromise has no place on a list of the best of the best.

I'm inclined to agree, that's a lot of scratch for another 200 horsepower, particularly when the 300 horsepower model is capable of providing the kinds of thrilla it does...

Glad you like it, stay tuned, part three coming this week...
