I didn't consider any of them ridiculing... most were said in good sport... and would be good observations except they were made without any background and with certain incorrect assuptions, which I was meerly trying to clarify....

You have not been here long, and really have little clue about the people, personalities and history of this place. You have come on pretty strong, with a lot of near attacks and pretty much a know-it-all attitude. You have said some silly things in other posts - including on directed at me where you implied that you have seen the content of every video ever made of any decent pro driver. I mention that to show that you really have not bothered to develop much credibility here. Now it is your choice if you want to keep doing battle with everyone or figure out how to make friends. This place is like a neighborhood bar - Everyone I have ever seen (and I have been here a long time) has been welcomed. Those who choose to be obnoxious create their own environment.
Now you get to choose what kind of patron of the neighborhood bar you care to be, and most here will then act in response to your decision.
I didn't realize there was something wrong with 911's.
My RS America is a joy to drive on or off track.

Mentioning the Corvair, you forgot the worst rear engine designed car ever, the Auto Union...... (must have been luck winning all of those races).
As far as talk, just post your results from your first pro race and see how it compares it to Frank Lin's first pro race results. At that point, you will not even need to make any comments or have time for this silly little forum. Maturity may also take over and so will respect.

If there was one formula for making the best car, it would have been done already. If you think referring to corvairs brings you anywhere, well you might be one heck of a drover but one really sh*tty engineer. There is no point continue this discussion, obviously since you escape to sarcasm instead pointing out engineering facts.

and there is formula for making the best car- RWD, Mid-Rear engine, which is the layout of every sucessful purpose built racecar since the early 60's....(please I know there are exceptions, quattro's in trans am, the front mid engine panoz etc.) there is a reason there aren't rear engined F1 cars or LMP cars.....
Rear engine cars:
Fiat 500
Mercedes 130
Corvair
Renault Dauphine
Simca 1000
Skoda 130
Porsche 911/356
Tata Nano
Beetle
Tatra 603
I highlighted the good ones, there is a reason the list is so short....also the trend is all three were designed by Porsche

Vanagon,
and Squareback!
I also believe the Smart ForTwo is rear engine...
I was reading recently that VW has another rear-engine car in the works, too.
Rear Engine RevivalOh, and if you're going to do a "911/356" you might as well have said, "Beetle/356/911".

You left out a bunch of others, I'm sure, most notably 1/2 of VW's lineup from the 60's into the 80s, including such venerable favorites as the Bus, Vanagon, and Squareback!
