I liked the gen 1's just because they felt like old school muscle cars. They had all the right sounds and vibrations!

The new V is a great car and feels lighter than it is on the track. I made a run that afternoon with a V sport wagon and forgot it was a wagon as soon as i hit the track. In the morning I got to pilot a V Coupe with the manual trans...this version has a little wider track.
