The 165 is pretty, but I still prefer the 175S. It's so vulgar, like something a cartoon character would drive.

I do love me some Finnegan, though.

I bailed on AvE when he started spiraling into anti-mask fuckhead territory.

Anti-mask idiocy is why I bailed on both Finnegan and AvE.

Does a new Cadillac or S-class adjust the spring rate/damping of the rear suspension based on what the front suspension just hit?

The Citroën C6 and the fanciest versions of the C5 did exactly that.

I would be shocked if current luxury cars with active suspension aren't doing it.

The Bose Active Suspension (weird, it autocapitalized that) used sensors (sonar I think) to read the road ahead and predict motion, rather than just react. I don't know if that's what the people answering were thinking of.

Well, that was the idea. The reality is that it was all pre-programmed for each specific test. The bump config couldn't do flat corners and so on. The whole sonar/sensor thing was the proposed way it would work, in the finished system that never came to fruition.

Like anything else hyped by Bose, it was a fancy rigged tech demo that only worked under specific conditions. In addition, the power usage for the actuators was enormous, and the gear was heavy and took up a lot of space in the car. As so often happens, internet hype has made it into something it never was, and I'm not really sure it would ever actually be viable in the real world.

For clarity, I put in the Duesenberg SSJ. Even the standard J had 265hp, but the SSJ had 400hp, in the mid-1930s.

The fact that only two were made and were owned by Gary Cooper and Clark Gable, who would race each other in them in the canyons, also cements it as a true supercar. Crazy powerful and completely out of reach.

This is a pretty solid answer.

Corley's limo in particular is just perfect.

It's almost 2021, where is my drat hovercar?

Snow runner was also a pro answer, I'm playing through Mudrunner at the moment, trying to beat every map with the lowest-point trucks.

Trying to navigate muddy roads and ford rivers in an rear end-old Soviet farm truck on road tires, while fully loaded and dragging a huge trailer requires dedication and a gentle throttle foot. And a bit of winching, of course.
