Where did they put it up originally?

[ancient scarab]

we have it packed away looking for the right place to reassemble

[open kayak]

I've heard of people having old racing posters and old magazine ads, but not entire billboards. I love it.

[ancient scarab]

it was installed there when new it was a vw service facility

[open kayak]

I have to start collecting more.

[ancient scarab]

no you don't

lolz

[open kayak]

I love old marketing material.

[ancient scarab]

i have too many brochures

[clever jasper]

Put it up in a small town

The town's mural

[ancient scarab]

i am trying to sell my cache of 308GTB literature

all the yellow books

[open kayak]

I have two pages from an old Car and Driver magazine. I think it was a 1995 issue.

It's a copy of the 'Pray for Bad Weather' ad, for the Carrera 4 of that year.

It's still in packaging from the seller. I never had the chance to get a fitting frame.

For some reason I can't find a good picture of it.

[clever jasper]

I have a 1984 Detroit GP program

with John watson's signature

[open kayak]

I want some racing posters.

I really want some.

People have been painting them, too, and they look fantastic.

[clever jasper]

I got this thing

Shipping was expensive as hell

because DHL express

[open kayak]

That's surprisingly cheap, for what it is.

[clever jasper]

Well

Shipping was 100 pounds

sooo

[open kayak]

An extra hundred?

[clever jasper]

yep

Express delivery

So it ended at 250 USD

[open kayak]

Was it here in the U.S.?

[clever jasper]

[clever jasper]

Nope

Shipped out of the UK

the signature was from the 83 British GP

So they put the 2 together

It's just sitting downstairs in it's packaging

Waiting for a frame on my wall

[open kayak]

The same situation as me.

I also don't really have anywhere to hang it, either.

I mean, I do, but it won't look nice.

• Especially when I only have one frame on the wall. I need at least one or two more frames for it to look right.

[clever jasper]

I just don't have a frame

It needs to be big enough to house:
The program itself
The signature
A list of the entrants for the feeder series that weekend

Because it came with a list of the entrants for like

super Vee and stuff

and it's not mentioned in the listing

[ancient scarab]

i have the actual race promo poster from the race senna died at

from italy

[open kayak]

I want Le Mans posters.

Those are probably some of the nicest ones.

The old ones, especially.

i have a huge repro in my living room

[open kayak]

I'd love to just put that sort of stuff around my first home, but I don't really know if I should.

It seems like it would be more suited for a garage than any other room in the house.

[ancient scarab]

depends upon your decor

i specifically have zero automotive art visible from my bed, by design

[clever jasper]

I have 2 gulf mclaren framed artworks and a print

on my accent wall

[spare vigil]

oh god bosozoku

[spare vigil]

i fucking love these things

[sick pike]

i dont

I find it interesting that the Aston AMB-001 has a Litre class V-Twin... With a Turbo

I'm surprised they didn't do like the straight 4

The mk3 is massively underrated compared to the mk4.

I prefer that over an mk4.

[twin belfry]

Yeah. Why?

[spare vigil]

Is it because of me liking the MK3 more than the MK4?

For some reason

[sharp nacelle]

I love those 'what if' cars.

There's one for a 1960s Porsche Cayenne, and it's very well done.

[coral gorge]

Valkyrie or AMG One?

Which do you guys prefer

[twin belfry]

Whdysgsysysgd

[jagged crater]

Valkyrie by far

[normal charm]

Found this in lanecove

[frigid sonnet]

amg

[open kayak]

The Valkyrie. Cosworth engines are always a joy.

[hallow glade]

valkyrie any day

that engine is just something else

[coral gorge]

Interesting

Valkyrie is pretty sweet, I’m interested to see how the AMG One turns out. They’ve had trouble getting that PU to work property

[open kayak]

I'm glad the One exists, either way.

It's not every day that a company recognizes something they did back in GT1.

[sharp nacelle]

Shit that sucks

When I was there they had just had a sinkhole

Lmao

[open kayak]

This plant is in an endless Final Destination movie.

[open kayak]

It is!

You know about the sinkhole, right?

[frigid sonnet]

nope

[sharp nacelle]

i saw it

it was big

and the cars were wrecked

[open kayak]

You went before, you said?

How long after it did you go?

[sharp nacelle]

i went after the sinkhole

2016 maybe

i don't remeber

remember

[open kayak]

Well, in the past I mean.

Did they fix some of the cars?

[sharp nacelle]

i don't know

they were displaying them destroyed

i also got a factory tour

cool

c7

[open kayak]

I wonder if they filled up the hole, or if there's just a half-hollow space beneath the floor.

That creeps me out.

[open kayak]

Back in 2014, a sinkhole formed right underneath the museum inside.

[sharp nacelle]

filled it up probably

or put in supports

[open kayak]

I'm not sure how sinkholes are fixed. I'd imagine they'd just fill it in.

But, part of me thinks it's just more efficient to build over it.

[twin belfry]

A moment of silence for those Vettes

[open kayak]

There's more buried beneath, too.

[twin belfry]

[sharp nacelle]

I remember this

[open kayak]

Yeah. It was on Top Gear at one point.

[frigid sonnet]

I first saw it in this server

during the summer break

they were discussing about it

[open kayak]

Oh, they did. I see the messages were back in #deqeneral-🤪.

[frigid sonnet]

yeaa

[stark ibex]

Are these actual cars?

[open kayak]

Yes.

[stark ibex]

wow man

but right now

i feel like celebrating

and being happy

we have a world champion here

i'm gonna go back to chill chat

[winter dragon]

when the original design for the 993 model 911 looked a bit less aerodynamic than what we got

[tawdry badger]

those fender flares were so much more defined

[tender cove]

Tesla Model X

[tawdry badger]

porsche's 356 speedster

[winter dragon]

that and the whole car kinda looked a lot more like an evolution of the 964 model

especially at the back

here's a picture of a 993 prototype which had classic 911/989-style rear lights, which would eventually make it to the 911 on the 996 model

[winter dragon]

mine is the 993 model Porsche 911

What's the best way to tell if a sticker is safe to put on a car window?

My S.C.C.A. sticker came in, and I think it isn't meant for glass.

[ancient scarab]

if it's vinyl it's fine

[open kayak]

I think it is.

[ancient scarab]

should be fine then

i ran my sticker on my mk1 for years

I let my membership lapse years ago

should reapply

where in the USA are you?

wait, like kc or something we talked about this

[open kayak]

New Jersey.

I planned on joining the Northeast Division, specifically the Northern New Jersey Region.

I'm going to start a paid membership this spring.

[ancient scarab]

sweet

I'm hoping to ease back to the track this spring in the GTI. I've been working hard to get it tech ready.

[open kayak]

I decided against buying that second car, at least for now.

Right now I'm looking into a set of track tires and wheels for my Kia, just so that I don't eat up my daily tires.

[open kayak]

People in Connecticut have a great taste in cars, but then again, that was probably only because Greenwich was happening.

[sharp nacelle]

im closer to some place in ny i think lol

i forget the name

[light sedge]

I made my mom drive an hour so I could see the Ferrari dealer there

the only nice part of florida is daytona and the keys

[ancient scarab]

don't watermark

please

[open kayak]

Oh, never a watermark.

I just put a little signature in the corner.

I should have one prepared, actually.

[ancient scarab]

if I mark photos it's ultrasmall

[open kayak]

I'll hop on over in Photoshop and prepare one or two, just for the heck of it.

[ancient scarab]

example

[open kayak]

I forgot how much I liked some of these.

[ancient scarab]

almost 10y ago!

[open kayak]

The Porschella show they had the day before was wonderful.

I have this one picture of an older 911, mid-Seventies by the looks of it.

They had a row of these rat-styled 911s, with a controlled amount of wear and tear for style.

I'm processing one of them, at the moment. They had this gorgeous little Mobil pegasus hand-painted on the fender.

I decided to put some metacommentary in the background and insult myself.

I work a lot with macro photography. I find it's starting to lack a bit in the automotive world.

It's far easier to stylize, as well. It's hard to get the right amount of blur when you have to take an entire car into consideration.

I wanted a bit more blur in this shot, but I didn't get it to work right. I have the original file on-hand, as always, so I might try to fix it sometime.

So far I'm happiest with this one, of a T-5R. I got the blur to work just about perfectly, and the cloud coverage gave me the soft lighting I love.

[ancient scarab]

one of my favorite topics

it's all in the details

i have hundreds of these

[open kayak]

That mirror shot is really nice.

[past plume]

That’s a cute looking truck for sure tho

[woeful creek]

still yes

[obtuse river]

Okay

[woeful creek]

dude that's £15,000

[obtuse river]

yeah the maverick is great

Its has the perfect amount of storage

2 rows

[obtuse river]

Is that good?

[woeful creek]

the Volkswagen Up is £13,000

the Skoda Fabia is £14,410

the Hyundai i10 is £17,390

the Dacia Duster is £15,095

[gaunt harness]

imo the best car is the land cruiser

the older stations i mean

[woeful creek]

so for literally the same money as you can get this:

[gaunt harness]

european cars are generally overpriced heh

[woeful creek]

let me rephrase that

[woeful creek]

American cars are insanely cheap

[gaunt harness]

european-built cars are overpriced

[woeful creek]

no

[obtuse river]

That blue is

👌

[woeful creek]

Cars sold in America are weirdly cheap

Not the other way around

[gaunt harness]

i agree

[woeful creek]

Like, even imports there are cheaper

Hell, used cars are cheaper

[gaunt harness]

taxes lmao

[obtuse river]

Because they are made of plastic

[woeful creek]

it could be the same exact car

with the same exact spec

it'd be cheaper in the US

[gaunt harness]

western europe is hellbent on car taxes as of now imho

to some extent i agree

[woeful creek]

dude you see these steelies?

ford calls them 17" Sparkle Silver Steel Wheels

[gaunt harness]

imo i want better evs

[obtuse river]

They kinda look like the extra wheel you get for emergencys

[woeful creek]

ah i know how they get you now

if you live somewhere with weather you gotta get one of those bed covers

which is a 1100 bucks

[gaunt harness]

damn

[woeful creek]

the soft folding one is $560 but you don't want the soft folding one

[gaunt harness]

but holy shit that ford is cheap even for arab standards

[obtuse river]

Buy a 3rd party one

[gaunt harness]

3rd parties make better parts sometimes

[woeful creek]

dude the moon roof is only $800

but the bed cover is $1100

[gaunt harness]

what the fuvk

[woeful creek]

DUDE you can get it with a fuckin wall outlet

[gaunt harness]

arent moon roofs pricier to manufacture?

[woeful creek]

like it's got like one of these in it

$150

[obtuse river]

Emoji

[gaunt harness]

honestly id want to replace it

[woeful creek]

there's also this 🤣

which look, i know will only ever be bought by people who wanna badly lock up their guns in it

[obtuse river]

america

[woeful creek]

oh

[gaunt harness]

and san fransisco

place is a shithole

[obtuse river]

Also btw you can get a 3rd party bed cover for like $300

[woeful creek]

i have got to "powertrains"

[gaunt harness]

you can get stolen easily

[woeful creek]

and have found out why you don't want the base model

front wheel drive with a CVT

you can't get the hybrid with all wheel drive

[obtuse river]

Rip

[woeful creek]

so you gotta get the eco-boost if you want AWD and the actual gearbox

which is still an auto but it's not a fuckin shitty cvt at least

[gaunt harness]

why though

wait its america nvm

[woeful creek]

some people

and i know it's weird

but some people buy trucks because they look like trucks

and not because they need a truck

[gaunt harness]

speaking of manuals

[woeful creek]

i love this option it's so stupidly insecure

[obtuse river]

Thats like 90% of Americans

[gaunt harness]

theres a weird guy on tiktok who posts manual teslas

[woeful creek]

and it'd be me, if i bought this thing

[gaunt harness]

by manual he means useless gadgets

[obtuse river]

Almost nobody who buys an f-150 needs one

[woeful creek]

for $759 you can get it with a fridge/freezer

[obtuse river]

For tailgating

[woeful creek]

for $219 you can get it with a spoiler!

[obtuse river]

Wait what

[woeful creek]

don't get too excited

[obtuse river]

LMAO

[gaunt harness]

what a beautiful spoiler

[woeful creek]

$400 you can make it look worse

[gaunt harness]

wait what the fuck even is that useful for

a intake?

[obtuse river]

Yep

[woeful creek]

probably not

doubt it's even open

and if it is, all it's doing is dumping air onto the engine

NEVER MIND

it's very much not open

you know why?

because it's not even a separate hood

it's just a fucking thing, that sticks on with 3m tape

for $400

[gaunt harness]

lmaoo

[obtuse river]

Thats america for you

[gaunt harness]

only useful intake is this

toyota intake package for the desert

[woeful creek]

so anyway i built mine, which is $25,740

[gaunt harness]

dayum

show

[woeful creek]

which is £19,431

which is really fucking good

[obtuse river]

Alot more that the starting price

[woeful creek]

like $3300 of that was the drive-train

[hard heart]

What did you build?

[obtuse river]

Maverick

[gaunt harness]

a pickup

[hard heart]

Damn

[hard heart]

You're buying a Ford truck, George?

[woeful creek]

no

they literally don't sell it here

[obtuse river]

How much would it cost to import

[gaunt harness]

i mean you could export it to the uk

but itll be shit

[hard heart]

Fuck ton

[woeful creek]

i mean, i obviously can't

[hard heart]

Import taxes can't be cheap

[woeful creek]

i'm sorry but that is not actually a real thing

there is no way on earth it's justified importing a BRAND NEW truck

[gaunt harness]

i wouldve said why but

[woeful creek]

you may as well buy something nice

[gaunt harness]

considering carbon emissions and prices and paperwork

then nah

[obtuse river]

Do you think there is a market for this truck

[hard heart]

Good luck driving an F-150 in London tho

[gaunt harness]

just buy a hilux if they sell it here

[woeful creek]

it'll probably double the cost of the fucking truck and petrol's £1.40 a litre

[woeful creek]

no

[hard heart]

Or an X-Class

[woeful creek]

i don't like full sized trucks

fuck the X class

i cannot beleive anyone bought that

[hard heart]

It's a rebadged Nissan

[woeful creek]

It's literally a Nissan

you can see it

they didn't even try

[hard heart]

It even has a Nissan engine iirc

[woeful creek]

it shares basically every body panel

i cannot beleive anyone fell for it honestly

but i see them around

[hard heart]

I mean the rich, anything for a logo innit?

[woeful creek]

not even rich

it's gonna be middle class people

the rich buy a g wagon

it's people who wanna look rich but aren't

[hard heart]

I actually knew someone in Australia who bought the X-Class 🤣

[gaunt harness]

lmao

[woeful creek]

but yeah i don't actually want a truck, i just like mini trucks and i'm happy they're back

[gaunt harness]

hiluxes are the best trucks

[hard heart]

Reliability wise, yes

[gaunt harness]

that mad bastard of a truck is so versatile

[hard heart]

But feature and quirkiness, I'd say US trucks are better

[gaunt harness]

why is this real

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_Car_Tax

nevermind

[woeful creek]

dude have you seen the 2022 Tundra?

[gaunt harness]

how is this real

I like how this discussion started with a formula series with not many rules, and now we are talking about trucks

[woeful creek]

i mean, the NASCAR version is even better obviously but

(the real reason i want mini trucks back 🤣)

[gaunt harness]

pic goes hard

may i ss?

[woeful creek]

Sell me that Toyota

[hard heart]

Like the 2022 Tundra is a middle finger from Toyota to the US trucks

Even tho Tundra is as American as it gets

[woeful creek]

and remember, there's a TRD Tundra

https://www.toyota.com/imgix/content/dam/toyota/jellies/max/2022/tundra/8424.png

[hard heart]

That looks damn good

Holy shit

Again, I'd buy that if I can

[gaunt harness]

i have a issue with modernised suvs

[woeful creek]

437 hp, 583 lb.-ft of torque

3.5-Liter Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid

[hard heart]

Probably when I return to Australia if they did sell it there

[gaunt harness]

like the patrol

[woeful creek]

3.5 litre twin turbo V6 Hybrid

[hard heart]

I think I watched Doug De Muro's review

[woeful creek]

F1 cars have 1.6 litre twin turbo V6 hybrids

[obtuse river]

Truck gang

Truck f1 series

[hard heart]

That's actually what's blowing my mind tho

How tf can they build a monster engine with only 1.6L

[woeful creek]

well, it blows up after like 2000 miles

[hard heart]

🤣

Can't forget Mercedes engine on the new A/CLA45S tho

Fastest 4 cyl I think

[woeful creek]

they use three if not four of them a year, and literally only drive them like 5000 miles in total, combined

[obtuse river]

Thoughts?

[hard heart]

Hmmm front end is... idk

[woeful creek]

maybe 10,000 miles if you include all of the practice sessions

whereas, like, this Tundra, it's a Toyota

so you know it'll still work at 200,000 miles

with one engine

[hard heart]

Japanese cars are something else in terms of reliability

Unless if you have a Subaru

[west night]

also not revving at 12000 rpm

which probably helps with durability 😅

[hard heart]

I had a Toyota clocking 150,000 km, and still working like a charm when I sold it

Mercedes says it's a huge challenge trying to convert an F1 engine into a road engine for the AMG One

Even if it's not constantly revving at 12k

[gaunt harness]

why are they doing that that

[obtuse river]

Its cool

[hard heart]

Trying to be different I guess

But yeah, it's cool

[gaunt harness]

there isnt a market for it

[hard heart]

Imagine owning a car that is road legal, and knowing at your back is an F1 engine

[hard heart]

Well... you're wrong

[gaunt harness]

yeah 23 year old insta obsessed dudes

[hard heart]

There's a lot of wealthy car enthusiasts that are literally waiting in line to buy the car

[gaunt harness]

got it

[obtuse river]

Please dont say the amg one is bad because your a RB fan

[gaunt harness]

nah it isnt

amgs are impressive

[hard heart]

RB also collaborated with Aston Martin for a similar type of car

[gaunt harness]

but im a bmw fan

if it werent for f1

[hard heart]

Valkyrie and forgot the other one

Adrian Newey designed those cars

Rosberg ordered an AMG One I think

And Hamilton wanted it to be in his contract if he won the WDC this year

In which he didn't

I'd say BMW gotta step up their ///M game

[gaunt harness]

imagine if redbull was called honda

[hard heart]

Fun fact: Mercedes was Brawn GP which was Honda

[old sierra]

They defeated themselves

[hard heart]

Exactly

[old sierra]

They created a monster out of there ashes

[hard heart]

They defeated themselves every year since 2014

[zinc pike]

Lexus LFA concept

sadly it might be electric

[frigid sonnet]

rear?

[gaunt harness]

eeeh

its for the better

[spare vigil]

i hate it

[jagged crater]

Why would they call that the LF-A?

We already have one of those

[zinc pike]

True

Its like the honda/Acura NSX again

This might be an amazing car

But the name

[glass comet]

[hard heart]

Hey, I think I've seen you before around St. Kilda!

[compact lynx]

[compact lynx]

Man, what a shame they killed Holden

I fucking love Holden, the sounds they made, pure music

my favorite car

[unique bluff]

It could have 2000 hp and be 1.22 secs 0-60 secs all I care

[paper steppe]

totally foked up

[unique bluff]

that is not how you follow up arguably the greatest sounding road car ever made

[unique bluff]

#parkingishard

[paper steppe]

oof

[unique bluff]

weird seeing those around japan. I thought japanese ppl had some sense and drove small efficient cars

[paper steppe]

lmao ikr

[unique bluff]

rather than some fuel guzzling, neon yellow g class with a lift and knobbly tires

[unique bluff]

ye

[paper steppe]

wait a min that lift is from merc
its called 4X4 square g class

[unique bluff]

ahhh its that

but the squared doesnt have those wheels as far as I remember

[paper steppe]

yup

So ends the era of good Lotuses.

[sharp nacelle]

Rip, you will be missed

[jagged crater]

Have you seen the Emira?

[unique bluff]

if you think about it, it's kind of the perfect sportscar

2 litre twin cam straight six with triple carbs

all around double wishbone

a good amount(150 hp) considering it weighs about 1000 kg

its basically a better sounding and looking miata

[unique bluff]

ahhh yes, a 1400 kg car with a turbocharged engine and automatic gearbox. Exactly my idea of a lotus

[unique bluff]

niice

[jagged crater]

But

It can get the Toyota 3.5 supercharged

[unique bluff]

but

its still a 1400 kg car

my car weighs less than that

isnt a lotus supposed to be literally the lightest thing

[jagged crater]

What is your car?

[unique bluff]

thats what makes it a lotus

[unique bluff]

1996 toyota corolla

dx sedan

[jagged crater]

IT'S FROM 1996 OF COURSE I'LL BE LIGHT

The Evora was 1,325

[unique bluff]

evora was the start of the downfall

ofc the emira will sell

and I think it has the overall ethos too

but it has lost something

[jagged crater]

Welp, Gordon Murray T.50 it is

[unique bluff]

[distant arch]

I want a r32 with single turbo

[unique bluff]

exactly, thing weighs 900 kg

[unique bluff]

amateur

[jagged crater]

986*

[unique bluff]

with fluids and fuel all in right?

that is amazing for a car with a 4 litre V12

[jagged crater]

That's Kerb weight, yea

Also lemme get an R32 or R33 with an N/A or S/C

[unique bluff]

nice

[unique bluff]

no no I want a r32 too, just with twin small turbos

not single big

big single ofc makes more power

but at the expense of drivability

[jagged crater]

Hence

[unique bluff]

and throttle response

[jagged crater]

Centrifugal it

[unique bluff]

an n/a r32 would succ

[jagged crater]

Depends on the build

[distant arch]

Not really r32 has a really great suspension twin turbo will effect the transmission meanwhile single turbo will help it to have more power and a custom chassis would make it very good

[unique bluff]

meh I think if you want a na gtr just buy a kpgc10

[jagged crater]

That's a word

[unique bluff]

the kpgc10 is the best gtr according to me

[unique bluff]

1st gen hakosuka

[jagged crater]

8di what that is

[unique bluff]

meh

[distant arch]

R32 is good

R33 is trash 😩

[unique bluff]

this thing

listen to the thing

it basically is porn

[jagged crater]

An R32 Carbon has an RB31 of such with 326bhp which is cool

[unique bluff]

wait I'll share audio

[jagged crater]

But... That's... Not a nice car for me

Also it's 03:27

[distant arch]

Whats the worst gtr?

[unique bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=000pZdkaEsg

[distant arch]

I think r33

[unique bluff]

listen to this

[distant arch]

K

[unique bluff]

R35

[jagged crater]

R33 is hottest for me

[distant arch]

No tbh

[distant arch]

Its back tho

[jagged crater]

The R34 is a box

[unique bluff]

Well its at this point a 2 ton car with a v6 and a dct

[jagged crater]

The R35 is... That

The R33 is nice and curvy and the R32 is defined

[unique bluff]

r34 is basically a worse r32 that got fame due to fast and furious

[distant arch]

F1 v10 like

[unique bluff]

but even angrier

cause its carbed

[distant arch]

Yes

[unique bluff]

triple twin choke solexes

[distant arch]

:0

[unique bluff]

that engine is a masterpiece

[jagged crater]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dnw49aLWsAEiagU.jpg

[unique bluff]

I want one just for the engine

[jagged crater]

R33LM time

[unique bluff]

only one made, as I remember

and its in nismo museum

[jagged crater]

Yea

It hot

[distant arch]

R34 was never good

[unique bluff]

its a big bore short stroke rb26, so its pretty cool. I remember thing revved to like 8k

[jagged crater]

rookie numbers

[unique bluff]

I dont really give a shit about the power yk

as long as its a peaky ass engine

with a high redline

its cool

[jagged crater]

..

The revs are the rookie numbers

[unique bluff]

yeah yeah ik there are 10k rpm gtr's too

but that's not stock

and like most tuner cars, it'll probably blow up

[distant arch]

AE86 isnt good

[unique bluff]

wtf wrong witchoo man. It has that amazing yamaha five valve motor

sounds amazing

[distant arch]

Sounds yea

[unique bluff]

and it has itb's

[distant arch]

It needs ALOT of tuning

[unique bluff]

have you driven one? Everyone whose driven one says its amazing

[distant arch]

I have heard

On yt 🥲

[unique bluff]

heard

[unique bluff]

f man I get it

[distant arch]

No car meets here in india

[unique bluff]

f

[distant arch]

Everyone driving suv and sedan 😀

[unique bluff]

f homie that prob is there in us too

sedans are fine

but suv's are horrible

[distant arch]

I mean

[unique bluff]

all of them

[sharp nacelle]

Wagons like the rs6

Amazing cars

[tawdry badger]

i see an increase in the number of maybachs around here in india

[distant arch]

Mustand are trash
Change my mind🥵

[unique bluff]

yes rs6 is cool

[distant arch]

And its name mustand

[unique bluff]

thats what people who dont know mustangs say

[distant arch]

Not mustang

[sharp nacelle]

Mustangs? They can be nice

Mustand?

What

[tawdry badger]

wat

[unique bluff]

1965 GT350 is the greatest american muscle car in my opinion. Fight me.

[distant arch]

Old ones are good

[sharp nacelle]

Muscle car

Hmmm

[unique bluff]

not all old ones

[distant arch]

New one are just boaring

Shelbys are good

[unique bluff]

it was kind of cool. Won a shit ton of races on actual tracks

[unique bluff]

no not rly

that 5 litre v8 sounds like a trans am car

revs to 7.7k rpm

and if you get the mach 1 you avoid the shit getrag mt82

[sharp nacelle]

Plymouth Superbird

Imo

[unique bluff]

meh those didnt handle

[sharp nacelle]

Not the purpose

[distant arch]

1965 gt350 like you said i tbh love that car

[sharp nacelle]

1970

[unique bluff]

here I wrote an article about that car on dt I'll send link

[sharp nacelle]

440

Cu in

[unique bluff]

1970 that was emissions choked buddy

[unique bluff]

hemi was better. 440 is the plain old magnum v8

[sharp nacelle]

Not yet for the Superbird

426 then

For the hemi

[distant arch]

Dodge viper is good

[sharp nacelle]

Oh yeah hemi for sure

[unique bluff]

[sharp nacelle]

425 horsepower

[unique bluff]

thats p good but it only revved to 6 if iirc

[distant arch]

r8 etron is good?

[unique bluff]

nah bruh thats shit

the V10 cant be replaced

that engine....

is glorious

[distant arch]

ikr :💀

[sharp nacelle]

Well that's not the point of the car

[sharp nacelle]

yessss

[distant arch]

gtr is basically an r8 tbh

R35 btw

[sharp nacelle]

I'm not really knowledge with gtr's

[unique bluff]

yes but see thats what made the 65 gt350 cool. It was a muscle car that revved. It was a muscle car that handled. It was a muscle car that won actual road course track racing, not nascar. Its almost european.....dare I say

[unique bluff]

not rly completely different cars

[distant arch]

Nah

[sharp nacelle]

The thing is, I like my muscle cars as muscle cars, they may be shit a lot of the time but that doesn't matter

Plus it's so iconic

[unique bluff]

yes but thats why I love the GT350. It wasnt shit when you got to a corner.

[distant arch]

bmw isnt fun

[unique bluff]

yes I'm gonna agree there

[sharp nacelle]

Like the charger Daytona

Same car pretty much

[unique bluff]

A superbird with a 426 hemi and 4 speed hurst is my wet dream

[sharp nacelle]

First of the aero nascar

[unique bluff]

yes

[sharp nacelle]

I would run that at Daytona

[unique bluff]

not the new ones

[sharp nacelle]

Now at least

[distant arch]

yep

[sharp nacelle]

Back in the day oooh

[tawdry badger]

i like the older vettes

[distant arch]

e36🤤

[tawdry badger]

not grown close to the mid engine ones yet

[unique bluff]

they did. but nascar banned them because the hemi heads wouldnt fit under the stock bonnet

[unique bluff]

e30🤤

an e30 325i 5 speed coupe is something I'm looking to buy

[unique bluff]

yupp. The 60-69 stuff and then the 91 zr1 are cool cars

they're all not muscle cars, unlike what people think

[sharp nacelle]

Shame but really, they were too good for the competition

[distant arch]

lada the best

🇷🇺

[sharp nacelle]

Lada niva

[unique bluff]

yupp same for the ford 427 sohc cammer. They were looking to develop a 4 cam hemi yk, Crazy shit

[sharp nacelle]

I meant aero wise but yes that too

Hey

I'm American
