[DeTomaso] NPC: Re: Another Scirocco for Mike Drew?

[Mike Drew]

Hahahaha!

Actually I don't like the Mark II Sciroccos like this one--they were heavier, more bloated, and softer than the earlier cars. Still, they were fantastic cars in their day, and surprisingly, serve as a benchmark for fun cars even today. This video from a professional motojournalist is quite telling:

The earlier cars like mine are much faster, handle better and are better looking. Guigiaro designed the body, and it shows....

Cheers!
