That misses something essential about 'Murica. Here, handling doesn't matter. That's why we're all about horsepower. Handling? That's for countries where the roads actually have curves.

That's all you need to know to understand why the Europeans built Porsches and Ferraris, while we built Boss Mustangs, Chargers, Camaros and the like. All that matters in 'Murica is HORSPOWER. All that matters in Europe is handling.

The reason is right in front of our noses. It's because in this country, the roads that look like this....



Vastly out number the roads that look like this
