    My dad had a 1965 442 when I was a child. That car was far beyond stock. You could still see the shifter knuckle on the steering column. Any way, the car got smashed. And the next thing my dad parked in the yard was an 81 Volvo 240. I couldn't understand how my dad went from such a beast to what I thought was last rabbit. He worked on that Coco and the next 4 Volvo's till I had such a respect gained for them. That the thought of muscle cars was just sigh. Great cars.

    "Speed vs skill" drives Polestar... bro that shit is better optimised than Audi RS4, you dont need much skill in a dragrace while sitting in a freaking 400-600 superbly tuned family sedan. This would be legit test if he had a 200bhp car and you had his racer car.
