Jaguar is good, but I like them better years ago than now

The first ever car with a touch screen

#

Oh it's called the reatta

#

I haven't seen one in half a decade

#

But I remember the cool screen it was crazy to see that in a car that old

#

The mc20 is saving Maserati

#

But Jaguar is dying

steel kindle
#

They're meh, I see so many with issues

kind osprey
#

They are the some of the worst when it comes to longevity

#

They drive amazingly and sound beautiful

#

But you never wanna have one out of warranty

#

Part of me would love to buy an old Maserati for like $20,000 to experience a practical v8 sedan that sounds as nice as it does, but I know the dream will die when the first thing breaks on it and I'm paying $5000 for a windshield wiper

The one who said "windows?? You don't need that, since you asked, no door handles for you too"

dreamy torrent
#

Then how to get in?

#

Just jump in?

steel kindle
#

Use interior door handles

dreamy torrent
#

No ABS in sports car??

steel kindle
#

Nada

#

No radio, windows, glovebox, cupholders, literally nothing

#

Not even a trunk technically

#

And THAT is why I love it

#

Simple and to the point

#

Oh and no A/C or power locks

#

Even though there's no point in having locks when you literally can reach over the door

#

You literally enter the car by reaching inside it

dreamy torrent
#

Why would anyone even purchase that car?

#

If I'm purchasing anything, I make sure its worth every penny

steel kindle
#

It was a track car literally meant to just be a track car

#

No need for any extra weight

#

Also that much horsepower was a lot at that time, The other American muscle car which was the Ford Mustang only had a 105 to 225 horsepower and the corvette was 300 to 375

#

The GMC cyclone only had 280 and that was considered a muscle vehicle at that time because of gas crisis

#

Dodge wanted to go for track only, wasn't really meant for street use but could be if you wanted to

#

I've somehow fallen out of touch with big engines

#

used to like roaring v12s (and still do in older racing cars) and viper v10s

#

but nowadays don't get excited about them the same way I do with I4s

#

Old school V8s that’ll make your skin crawl and the baby hairs stick up

#

eh never liked v8s

Old school American Muscle are my favorites

#

A super car is loud!!?? Oh nooo

heady swift

#

Muscle car is about raw power, right?

steel kindle
#

Some are

#

Stuff like the GMC Typhoon and Syclone, buick GNX, and so on were not about raw power

#

Oh

#

I was wondering, why give muscle cars large V8 engines if those can just be turned into electric cars?

heady swift
#

it makes sense for someone not to like a general direction of design

#

you can dislike gothic architecture, which is prominent in western europe

steel kindle
# cobalt quartz Like americans lol

Tiny bit racist but ok, yeah a high performance car is loud, every country does that... TVRs are louder than the Vipers, a Lexus LFA is louder than a hellcat

heady swift
#

most le mans cars are relatively quiet

steel kindle
#

They are loud

heady swift
#

noise is lost power

#

inefficiency

steel kindle
#

Yeah I know

heady swift
#

many manufacturers artificially pump sound for driver experience, whereas in racing it's merely a factor for design

cobalt quartz
steel kindle
#

But hes saying American cars are extremely loud even though a lamborghini is louder than a Viper by a ton

#

Vipers aren't actually that loud in person, A Nissan GTR is already louder than it.

heady swift
#

eh maybe post facelift

steel kindle
#

The stereotype for Americans is big engines

heady swift
#

stock GTRs are rather quiet

steel kindle
#

Most videos put the microphone down the exhaust pipe

cobalt quartz
#

A gtr is nowhere near as loud as a v8😆😆

steel kindle
heady swift
steel kindle
#

You can have a inline 4 civic louder than a V8 Mustang because "kids"

heady swift
#

sexy engine

cobalt quartz
#

Well a v10 then

old sedge
#

Since the e-SUV is a trend, let's make a petition asking Chrysler or Dodge to build a Dodge Challenge as e-SUV and also asking Porsche to turn Porsche 911 GT3RS into an e-SUV. Who's with me? pagchamp

heady swift
steel kindle
heady swift
#

yeah they're not super loud

#

especially the non acr models

#

but GTRs are very quiet

#

almost as quiet as the nsx

#

hence why most owners immediately put hks shit in there

steel kindle
#

The tire screeches louder

heady swift
#

yeah a lambo will definitely be louder than that

#

but if you don't grow up with V8 sounds, you'll def be biased against those lower end exhaust notes

steel kindle
#

Armytrix isn't even a loud exhaust btw

heady swift
#

they quite are

#

think I've even seen that exact model at a meet

steel kindle
#

Fine, stock

#

That is louder than the viper

heady swift
#

I mean that's a nismo

steel kindle
cobalt quartz
#

U cant compare them lol
Camera quality for the gtr is better so it will be a clearer sound😆💀

cobalt quartz
#

And the fact the gtr lad was revving it a bit

steel kindle
cobalt quartz
#

Yes the vipers camera was clearly older so it wont be able to catch everything as clear

old sedge
heady swift
#

like I usually see GTRs driving around meets here. A stock M3 will usually be louder than a stock GTR. The thing is that GTRs have a saturated market of sound-focused exhaust systems, so with those equipped they can be extremely loud

#

Vipers aren't loud either

#

but V8s, whether german or american, tend to be a very controversial type of exhaust note

heady swift
steel kindle
#

Still not as loud as the GTR Nismo

cobalt quartz
heady swift
#

I mean the nismo costs 250K, it better be loud

#

normal gtrs aren't as loud, since the nismo is an upgraded variant

steel kindle
#

It sounds amazing

#

I still dream of buying at least one Glickenhaus car tbh...

steel kindle
# cobalt quartz Yeah

You said it's loud and obnoxious when we're literally proving to you it's not loud or obnoxious even compared to cars that aren't high end supercars that don't have a 8.4 liter V10

#

It's a huge V10 and it doesn't make that much sound

old sedge
#

Their supercars look cool

cobalt quartz
#

Yeah and i will stand by my opinion…coz everyone is entitled to one

heady swift
#

I mean the viper is probably louder than most 911s, but so is a focus rs

steel kindle
#

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong or anything but I'm telling you don't hate on American cars when you say they're loud and obnoxious when they're not

cobalt quartz
#

But my opinion is that they r so

steel kindle
cobalt quartz
#

It’s actually technically german

4 cylinders hardly have character to them the only small engine I admire is the Koenigsegg 3 cylinder

steel kindle
#

I love the Viper because it's actually decently cheap

#

Before you say anything about service history, It's a super car and people take it to the shop for check ups all the time especially when it's from 2006

cobalt quartz
#

A 16yr old car for more than £60k is decently cheap?

That means nothing about reliability

There is that tbh

though maintenance is insane

cobalt quartz
#

There was a time u could buy a ferrari for less than £10k

steel kindle
#

And ease of parts

heady swift
#

which was my point

steel kindle
#

The Viper is honestly a bargain at $60,000

heady swift
#

economically, it makes more sense to buy a sports car from established and big manufacturers if you're on a budget

steel kindle
#

Even old vipers can still compete very well on tracks to this day

heady swift
#

I mean yeah but at some point hatchbacks will get faster laps than most 2010 supercars

though those offer a completely different experience

People hate classic American cars because they're not fast anymore and they aren't that good at cornering compared to modern cars, They were great when they were new... eventually the Nissan GTR won't be considered that fast

old sedge
#

The C7.R sounds like a Corvette, the C8.R sounds more like a Ferrari than a Corvette.

steel kindle
#

Best way to explain it is like old planes, 1970s fighter jets are nowhere nears good as modern fighter jets... Modern propeller airplanes are much better than World War II propeller airplanes

Oh, if EA buys Toyota, then more subscriptions for car features, maybe even infotainment (including Apple Carplay and Android Auto) and GPS will be locked behind monthly paywalls kek

old sedge
#

Hmmmm, this is a good quote from someone about downsizing engines and giving them turbochargers since a small I4 turbocharged engine with similar power output as an NA V6 engine would use about same fuel at high power setting, he said "You can improve efficiency but you can't cheat physics.".

And what else, monthly subscription to use the turbocharger too? kek

short lion
#

my first car had the same engine as the top model. they just used a smaller exhaust and limited the output via control unit

And btw, most cars here are downgraded compared to the cars in the West when it comes to specs

The Ford Everest (Endeavor) have 8 speakers here though

#

Montero/Pajero Sport (MT transmission has only 4), mu-X (top 4x2 and 4x4 have 8) and Terra (4x4 has 8) have 6 according to their brochures. Many people here settle with basic, low and mid trims/variants after all.

If stock ones are cheaper I would save the money and get an unmolested one

it's distinctive yet still recognisable as what its supposed to be
its a diffusor just as big as the wing, its got spy camouflage, and large aerodiscs
like a hillclimb build Renault 5

#

it looks wild but im sure thats what they intend to do

#

cars like Huyandai's N Vision 74, Audi's S1 Hoonitron, Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 all are examples of cars without an ICE, so by doing this the cars seem much more fun than what they could be
like its a car that could be from cyberpunk 2077, its a literal hotwheels car but in real-life scale- the wing is protruding from the plastic purple rear window

#

yeah i mostly dispise e-cars, i dont care for drifting, and I would have gotten alot more excited over a Renault 5 Turbo 2, but once in a while something like this makes my inner-kid happy

#

but it does what it needs to do, turn heads and gets people talking or at the very least tries to cater to people who cares for cars when our current outlook is alternative engine power

its that, or the Renault 5 EV

Cars are superior bcs u can actually own one and not pay alot for it.

heady swift
#

cars are expensive

#

the up-front costs, maintenance, traffic-violations, parking, etc

#

public transport has far more potential to efficiently transport people

#

without causing traffic congestions or accidents

#

cars are extremely inefficient when it comes to transport

#

I mean I like cars, but they're not ideal in (sub-)urban environments

steady cove
steady cove
#

in my city i d prefer having a car over any type of public transport

#

most ppl think that im sure

#

just because its more efficient doesnt mean its more preferable

#

and if u think about it, a car is your mini home

#

you can do whatever u want in it

#

unlike public transports

old sedge
#

For me, I feel safer having my own car than having to take public transport

steady cove
#

yeah same

#

avoid the masses and creepy people

old sedge
#

And here, many public mass transport are rolling junkyards, so no thank you

#

I prefer safety over efficiency

kind osprey
#

Public transportation is great for dense urban areas theoretically but it requires you share the space with potentially cracked out and dangerous people

#

So that is an issue I would love to hear adressed as well

#

I agree with @heady swift that we should have better long distance bullet trains in the US so you can have an option between taking a plane or the high speed train from say, New York to Texas, or Chicago to California.

#

It would probably take less time to board than a plane, and it allows you to potentially ship things that would be too heavy for a plane

#

You could ship your car on the train and have your car when you get to the designated destination

#

High speed long distance trains would still weed out the local wastes of space peeing and jacking off in the local trains because they can't afford the ticket or have no reason to leave the city they take up space in

#

So the people issue would be completely solved

steady cove
#

im impressed the us doesnt have bullet trains

kind osprey
#

America was built by trains, I still think they should continue using modern trains

#

It helps with a lot of factors, money, environment, convenience

#

It takes a lot less pollution to take a train from Miami to New York than it does a flight

#

And say the speedy train goes an average of 220mph just to be conservative

#

It would take 6 hours to get to the destination

#

A plane would tske 3 hours, but the thing is between boarding tsa and all other airplane bullshit

#

They will come out to the same time

#

I recently drove 2600 miles round trip to Florida and back to NYC where I live

#

I would definitely rather take a train back and forth and ship the car with me, or find decent deals to rent a car there

#

It was a fun experience to do one time but I see no point in driving all that again. Cars are great for more local endeavors like 100 mile radius or less

jagged sentinel
# steady cove So its the same thing as uk

Our train infrastructure is older and the train industry has been subsidized, so passenger trains get fucked over 8 times out of 10 in favor of industrial/resource transit trains

#

Our roads, though are much younger and made specifically to accommodate cars; Britain's are older and weren't as purpose-built for cars tmk

Although maglevs are probably faster than bullet trains, some train enthusiasts say that maglevs can't hold the highspeed for a long time and not good to haul cargo, they're mostly good for tourists

heady swift
# steady cove yeah but u wouldnt own a train or a plane over a car

no, because it's public transport. I'd love the idea of having a volvo or a saab, but I know that car-centric infrastructure is a struggle to every citizen. I'm happy to live in my city, as I can get anywhere on foot/bicycle/bus faster than with a car. I don't have to bother with parking, or driving. I can mindlessly follow a single road or sit somewhere. Proper public transport is preferable, unless you need a car specifically for special things, like transporting bigger items or people

#

cars are preferable to families as kids and public transport suck together

old sedge
#

Having a private car is better so you can have something to brag about. kek kek

heady swift

#

Kidding aside, cars are preferable if public transport are really bad or the environment is unsafe for walking

druggies fucking the floor is a social institution problem, not public transport
