December 1995 Issue -- Road & Track Magazine

About 25 years ago.


I didn't realize that WeatherTech has been advertising for so long.  They're bigger than ever...


Don't remember this concept car...


This concept version of the Honda S2000 looks pretty close to the production car.


I guess the Elise debuted in 1995...
I remember driving a eurospec version in/around 1997.
One of the best drives ever.
Still would like to have one...


It says the AMG E50 went to 60 MPH in 6.2 seconds.
I think a pretty run of the mill V6 Camry or Accord does the same now...


Four V12 cars...


Even in 1995, the Ferrari was super expensive ($226,000 as tested).
The other three are about 1/2 the price...


The 2020 Honda Civic Type R either matches or beats the numbers for 0-60 MPH (close), lateral acceleration (by a lot!) & braking distance (by a lot).


This looks like a good article.  Will read it...



Another interesting article that I'll read...



I guess (don't remember) ISPs were already going strong in 1995.
The ad touts "Now With World Wide Web Browser!"
I guess you got a floppy disk in the mail to load the AOL software?

I kinda had forgotten how clunky and difficult it was to set up the connection and get the ISP working properly.
I have a vague recollection of spending many hours working out bugs with the connection (DSL) and the LAN...
I'm glad those days are long gone.
