Because the Europeans use more advanced techniques and the American sportscars are a bunch of parts fitted together with some bolts. Then they put the body on it to make it look like it’s fast and then it goes into production. There is a reason that a 650 bhp Mustang goes from 0-60 slower than a 570 bhp Ferrari 458 Italia.
It’s called weight reduction, bro
UM the Mustang GT500 is a Muscle Car…and the Ferrari 458 is an Exotic. Comparing it to something like an m3 or s4 would be more reasonable
A GT500 is a muscle car, not a sports car.
Quality basically
false. because ‘MURICA
..surprised no one has said that yet..
because us americans build rolling turds, imports are the only smart option to go, I’m american and i will never buy an american made car, because they are sh*t
Because they are glued together with corn syrup and the oil in the engines is used fryer fat from McDonalds. Set the sat nav destination to a fast food restaurant or steakhouse and they go twice as fast. True story.
I think its marketing really. Most of the people who drive the expensive sports drive it less for the “oh its so sophisticated, it can do all these things, technology, bla bla bla” and more for the “I own a Ferrari/Porsche/Lambo/Audi/Bendz/whatever”. The reason why they are so much more expensive is because your paying for the name. Another reason is that American cars are made to sell, at an affordable price. A new corvette starts at $53k, good luck finding something that has a performance to price ratio even close. Also, if you consider the fact that there are not very many sports cars made in the US currently. Aside from the corvette, viper, and GT, there really isnt anything, unless you count the muscle cars as sports cars. It’s not like Euro build quality is so much superior in the higher end cars, things break on every car, it’s just a bigger pain to your wallet and mechanic if something from Europe goes wrong. I just think they are that way because people will pay that much for them. It’s less a measure of quality, rather one of pedigree.
