the importance of electronics
with the new nissan gt-r outgunning cars with more power, less weight, and larger wheels (like the porsche gt-3) while still remaining comparatively more civilized, i have been shown the light of the electronic side of automotive engineering.
it isn't that I didn't believe in it before, i had just always been more faithful towards the classic combination of light weight and huge engines. but now this new car has substantially shown me how much of a difference electronics can make.
i am a bit saddened by this developement as we head into the new decade, yet i don't want to be the old man who dwelled on the "good ole days". but i used to enjoy being able to gauge how fast a car can be just by looking at their specs. now, it is virtually meaningless.
it was actually me who killed vasilli zaitsev, heinz thorwald, carlos hatchcock, and simo hayha
