Which probably means a small part is loose or a fuse is out

#

Get it for nothing then maintenance it properly

#

Boom, Italian v8 for less than an accord

#

Lol

sage roost
#

I’m probably not brave enough to do that

#

would rather a reliable car that I can drive every day without issues

dull folio
#

The closer I'm getting to being able to buy my affordable dream car, the more worried I get about the additional maintenance costs...

sage roost
#

mhm

#

we were about to buy a used Porsche cayenne before we realized the reliability on them were bad

dull folio
#

Well I plan on getting a 996 911 lmao

#

So you get the reliability concerns

#

I could get the 987.2 Cayman for virtually the same money, but I just hate how the rear looks

#

(It's way more reliable and arguably a better car)

sage roost
#

I was today years old when I realized the cayman generation names is pretty much the same as the 911

#

The 987 was released around the same time as the 997

dull folio
#

Yeah except for the 992 vs 718 (the 718 should've been called the 982

sage roost
#

same with the 991 and 981

dire shard
#

the 718 is just the name they gave it

#

the internal code for it is 982

dull folio
#

I know, it's just that people only refer to it as the 718

#

I wish I could afford a 997.2

#

That would solve all of my problems

#

reliable + the best looking modern 911 imo

sage roost
#

does the 718 still not have the updated interior every other Porsche has

dire shard

good

i don't like the new interior

some really unfortunate rumors is that the 992.2 refresh will lose the analogue RPM gauge

the turbo S is supposedly going to get a mild hybrid system

onyx rivet

these better be mule car decoy because those slats are a wrong move

sage roost
#

the turbo S rear number is quite aggressive

onyx rivet
#

not a fan of the rear too
or maybe its because ive gotten used to the 992

sage roost

The boxes in the middle are to hide the rest of the bumper I think

i personally think that looks stupid

maybe just the carrera and it’s variants have those slots

new leightweight wheel option too by the looks of it

onyx rivet
#

i just hope its not that drastic of a change

sage roost
#

this is the GTS

onyx rivet
#

thats what i thought it could be

#

i cant remember where ive read but they are turbocharging the GTS as rumoured

sage roost
#

wait…

#

it’s NA?

onyx rivet
#

sorry, its not

#

so what was i trying to recall?

sage roost
#

I thought all of the lower tier 911s used the same 3.0L turbo engine

#

well, at least the GT3 and touring isn’t that drastic of a change

#

To me, it looks exactly the same

onyx rivet
#

i beleive i have confused it for the 3.6L update

sage roost
#

interesting

#

also just a mild hybrid

#

not a plug-in, so weight penalty isnt severe

onyx rivet
sage roost
#

I don’t mind it

#

It’s not like I’ll say no if they give me one lol

onyx rivet

it will take me a while for me to get used to

maybe

i really wouldnt complain if they are giving me one either

sage roost

If anything to me it looks better

the lightbar seems to be thinner

nah i actually like current's rear lights better

I need to find out how to get the “mule car tester” role in Porsche

onyx rivet
sage roost
#

unrelated but

#

Porsche said the Dakar is limited to 2500 units

#

But it’s still up on their configurator

#

I refuse to believe it still hasn’t sold out

#

maybe it did actually sell out so they made it a permanent model hmmm

onyx rivet
#

i thought that to but i guess its for people to play around with

#

last time i checked, the Aston Martin DBS 707 Edition was also up to configure but i recall that they've sold all slots to their buyers

sage roost
#

Hmm

dire shard
#

the dakar was sold out last year

sage roost
#

The S/T is still up for configuration as well

sage roost
#

time for a rich someone to do a funny and make a turbo S into a Dakar

Lift kit and everything

dire shard

you could probably safari-ify a gts to the same effect

@little skiff It makes a lot of sense. The founder of RR was heavily interested electric cars. The engines RR use were essentially made to create an experience similar to that of electric ones.

''In an interview published in The Motor-Car Journal in April 1900, Rolls described electric propulsion, in terms that, over a century later, carry the ring of prescient prophecy:
“The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration, and they should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged. But for now, I do not anticipate that they will be very serviceable – at least for many years to come.”''

Liability isn't coverage to repair or replace your vehicle it is just for covering your ass in an accident

#

In the US liability insurance is legally required to register a vehicle because it is the bare minimum coverage

My insurance is just liability on my daily car because I paid $800 so paying an extra $2000-$3000 a year to protect at most a car that is worth $5,000 just doesn't make sense

what's wrong with the t50

in fact, what's underwhelming about a manual attached to a v12, attached to a massive turbofan 🤔

#

you like... hate fun, or something?

kind osprey
#

The T.50 is the biggest engineering marvel in the automotive space maybe other than the Aston Martin Valkyie

#

It is designed by Gordon Murray, has a cosworth v12 that revs to 12,100 rpm, ground effect fan, and weighs less than a 1990 MIATA

#

It is honestly the best remake of the Mclaren F1 they could have ever done and I've been wishing for an f1 remake since I could crawl

#

There's a 50 minute video on youtube just about the engine alone, the thing is insane

dire shard
#

i almost said "the f1 isn't that old"

I would take the t50 over any other hypercar hands down aside from the obvious few like a Pagani Huayra R

dire shard
#

then i checked

#

yeah it's remake time

kind osprey
#

Gordon Murray is old

#

So the t50 and t33 are his final send offs and they are done so well I would love to own one in the near future but $3,000,000 for a car is a long ways away

dire shard
#

it's gonna be more than that once you arrive at "long ways away"

#

they're that good

kind osprey
#

@dire shard One thing with modern hypercars and just every car in general nowadays is that everyone only focuses on two metrics. Horsepower, and 0-60. Most likely why @hybrid charm thought the t50 is underwhelming compared to its rivals like Koenigsegg and Pagani.

#

The t50 is built how a supercar should be built

#

Weight gone, nothing but what needs to be there

#

It only has 620-670 horsepower which in todays climate is nothing. But what is overlooked is that any other hypercar on this planet is turbo or supercharged

#

The t50 is naturally aspirated, it's the fastest revving car on the planet and it's throttle input in entirely linear

#

It is an engineering dream

#

It isn't flashy either get that car in gray and people won't even notice it lol, it's perfect

dire shard
#

can't agree with that

#

it's eyecatching in every colour

kind osprey
#

It looks good, but I don't think it's all that flashy

#

Like a Lamborghini with the jaggedness and stance

dire shard
#

it's a shape more exotic than a 911, and most 911s are already eyecatching enough to the average viewer

#

i don't doubt it's more subtle than a lot of other supercars out there, but it's no sleeper

kind osprey
#

Gordon Murray was limited in design creativity due to the three seat configuration. That is what gives the car ots spaceship bubble look

dire shard
#

besides, nothing with a huge fan on the back will go unnoticed

kind osprey
#

For a ground effect car that fan is really tiny, but yea it'll definitely look like a gimmick to someone just looking at it

#

The t33 is Gordon Murray's full design without restrictions

#

It's a beautiful looking concept that reninds me of euro le mans styling from the late 60's

#

Like the 33 stradale

#

Or the Porsche 906

#

The the t33 has ground effect functionality without the fan it was a really cool discovery

#

Think ‘convertibles’ and Gordon Murray is hardly going to be the first name that pops into your head. Convertibles tend to be heavier, less rigid and worse off aerodynamically than a hard-top car. And if you know anything about the sorts of cars that Gordon Murray designs, those aren’t just trifling niggles. And yet, here it is. The first Gordon...

I'd honestly be at a very similar level of happiness in a Lotus elise as I would be in a Lamborghini Diablo

#

The price of a car is a decent factor into your experience but at the same time there are many fun cars out there that are achievable

#

It's honestly the main and very few reasons I want a crap ton of money

#

Racing and cars

#

If it wasn't as expensive as it was I don't know if I would have the same drive to be extremely rich

dire shard
#

i don't want to say i gave up on that drive but all i do is look at old depreciated cars

#

well, as you say, the fun can be had at all levels

#

cheap depreciated cars or not

kind osprey
#

Even though the car got ruined by Youtube Vloggers and rapper personalities. Everytime I think of a dream car I always come back to the Lamborghini Huracan, preferably the Performante but I'm not too picky on trim

#

I love naturally aspirated great sounding cars and the Huracan is just small but punch packing. The aventador is an awesome car but it is the length of a mid size pickup truck

#

The Huracan is a baby

#

I like smaller cars

dire shard
#

i don't think it's too much of a stretch to hope that the huracan falls to gallardo prices in a decade

#

the dream can be had

kind osprey
#

Some will

#

They were pretty widely produced

#

You can find them for right under $200,000

#

The 2014-2016 models with maybe over 10,000 miles

dire shard
#

wasn't that roughly how much they were msrp

#

give or take 50k

kind osprey
#

Yea the base model 2014's were like maybe $210k-$250k

#

But nowadays a brand new one you're lucky to walk away with an awd evo for under $330,000

#

Options get expensive

dire shard
#

so it's been a decade since the 610-4 and it's not really dropped at all

#

my hope wanes

kind osprey
#

Because it is still the latest generation

#

And they are fairly reliable compared to older Lamborghini's

#

Old Gallardo's are cheap because they break down and have a ton of issues

#

Mainly pre audi powertrains

#

After 2008 Gallardo's were alright

#

Once the new "Huracan" comes put I think the deciding factor of the Huracan's depreciation will be whether or not it is a v10 or v8

dire shard
#

it's supposed to be a v8, isn't it? the turbocharged one from the urus

kind osprey
#

V8 hybrid = Huracan prices maintain or skyrocket
V10 naturally aspirated = Huracan prices fall to Gallardo levels

kind osprey
#

Idc if they hybriditize the 5.2 liter v10, the weigh increase will be annoying but whatever. If they make it a v8 though that would ruin the car for me

#

The car can have the best tires and best brakes on planet earth it'll still feel like shit if it weighs 4000 pounds

dire shard
#

i mean, the engine or the weight

kind osprey
#

The v8 would be a deal breaker

#

The v8 turbos sound like nothing

dire shard
#

they made the revuelto a hybrid and it weighs like 400 pounds more than the aventador, but it retains its v12

#

if they hybridize the v10

kind osprey
#

If I wanted a car with a no sound turbo v8 I would get a Mclaren

dire shard
#

how much more could it weigh

kind osprey
#

So another 400 would suck

#

3800 pounds is heavy af for a supercar of that size

dire shard
#

yeah, suppose hybridizing the v10 would add another 400, it would weigh as much as the revuelto lol

kind osprey
#

Say they do some reductions and it comes out to 3700 pounds. For a supercar that's only 172 inches in length would still be insane

#

That is why Gordon Murray is doing gods work with those bespoke cars they are the same size, same power but weight only 2300 pounds

dire shard
#

but in being bespoke, cost 10x the price

#

so the choice between hybridizing the v10 and making it weigh 4000 pounds or stuffing the urus v8tt in it, this is ultimately between the identity of the car and the engine, or the performance

kind osprey
#

At the end of the day,

#

Fuck emissions regulations for small production supercars

dire shard
#

real

#

but you know what lays on the other side of that coin

#

cygnet

#

and not the funny v8 one

kind osprey
#

Cars they only make a few thousand of, and get driven only 1000-3000 miles a year

#

These are of couse the only thing destroying the environment

#

And MUST be stopped

#

Immediately

#

Totally not the concrete China wastes on barely functioning construction projects

#

Only supercars kill baby seals and raise the sea levels. It is such backwards ass thinking

sage roost
#

the sf90 with its plug-in hybrid weighs 3400 pounds as well

dire shard
#

the sf90's 3400 pounds is its dry weight

#

the huracan's 3400 pounds is its curb weight

#

the sf90 gains like 290 pounds or so over the huracan when comparing curb weights

#

though, still

#

considering the electric system accounts for nearly 600 pounds in the sf90

#

although, if you were to remove the electric systems, the sf90 would just no longer be awd

#

then again, if you compare the 580-2 to the 610-4, the weight difference is like roughly 70 pounds

#

conclusion: huracan heavy

sage roost
#

Huracan needs to hit the gym and lose some weight

#

The STO is a mere 400 pound decrease from the 610-4

#

I don’t think that’s a lot

dry sage
#

Gawd fucking damn.

kind osprey
#

The hybrid system on the sf90 is tiny I think it adds 160 pounds

kind osprey
twilit herald
kind osprey
#

They stopped making the f8, but yea the f8 and 296 I heard were more fun to drive

#

The sf90 is a low revving heavy thing

dire shard
#

there is the price disparity here that would justify the sf90 generally having better technology in order to be built lighter(before electrics), but it's still a pretty incredible thing to realize how the weight of the two vehicles are so similar despite the sf90 having a 600 pound hybrid system in it

dire shard
#

i'm sure the 296 and f8 were designed to be enjoyable to drive

#

the sf90 is just designed for performance, it's numb in steering and has scary amounts of power

It’s designed for the people that want to drag race Ferraris

The whine is amazing

For sound naturally aspirated for me will always beat any induction engine. 10 and 12 cylinders are great because they are basically echo'd inline 5 and 6 cylinders which with the right exhaust and rpm sound just amazing

It isn't street legal, but the Pagani huayra r is the best sounding car I've heard outside of f1 cars
