Memo to: Brock Yates
From: John Phillips
Hey, Brock, did you drive this brute? Moses in a muumuu, man. Thereââ¬â¢s a whole Viper driveline in there, did you know that? Thatââ¬â¢s insane. Donââ¬â¢t get me wrong, itââ¬â¢s a fabulous engine. Whoââ¬â¢d complain about 500 horses, right? But why attach it to a 5139-pound rear-drive truck with the traction of a gravy boat? You know, a Saturn booster rocket is powerful and fast, too, but itââ¬â¢s not particularly useful in rush-hour traffic. Iââ¬â¢m willing to accept the concept of a 153-mph hot-rod truck the day I see it carrying a load of drywall to a job site, you know? If a guy wants a two-seater that costs $45,795 and runs like a Corvette, why not buy a Corvette?

I love Car and Driver when they write a road test like that. It's like Ebert & Roper without the retakes :rofl:

Too bad C&D cut spending on staff and Yates has gone to MPH now. *sigh*
I liked the one from a few months ago that Philips did about a ficticious new Ford... :) 2006 Ford Futura Sprint GT/A Wagon
