All is well. Why is it then that I feel we lost something in all this forward progress.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love technology and some of my favorite cars are new tech-laden beasts like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Smaller engines, double clutch gearboxes and a myriad of other advancements are all good things for automotive progress.<\/p>\n<p>BUT, every now and then I remember the past. I remember the sounds of a naturally aspirated V8, the feeling of the click-clack of an open gate manual gearbox, the agility of a lightweight car not weighed down by heavy safety requirement and I remember just how awesome it used to be to drive a car.<\/p>\n<p>Not better. No worse. Just different.<\/p>\n<p>This video of a Ferrari 360 Modena tearing up mountain roads sums up what I&#8217;m talking about.\u00a0With a 3.6 litre flat plane V8 and over\u00a0400 bhp, all with a manual gearbox, this car is work. It makes you sweat. It makes you concentrate. I love it and I miss it.\u00a0I am sure a modern hot hatch would destroy this car in outright speed, but I don&#8217;t care, I want more cars like the 360 Modena, I want more modern cars to take some work to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Enough from the old guy.
