Now, how unusual is that BMW?

[night solar]

Hehe pretty unusual. I don't see many of them chillin in parking lots

[jagged sentinel]

It could also be a Z06

The ZO6 and Grand sport share most of their bodywork, including the front fender, which is the place where you can identify which trim level of C7 it is

Specifically this area here

[night solar]

Driver came out. Told him thats a nice ride and asked him. He doesn't know. His dad gave it to him. Kid couldn't be older than 20. Ngl, that made me jealous of getting to be born rich. Dang

[jagged sentinel]

That's tough

What does it say where I circled

[night solar]

Zo6

[jagged sentinel]

h

Ah

I guess there's you answer

[gusty roost]

So the guy that owns that Car actually has a Valuable Car?

[night solar]

Rare is rare, so I'd say yes.

[gusty roost]

Interesting

Thanks homie

[jagged sentinel]

They started at 75k back then so

[gusty roost]

Dollars?

[jagged sentinel]

The C7 Z06s yes

[gusty roost]

[night solar]

Right now they're going for 45K

[jagged sentinel]

[night solar]

He's talking about im assuming his 525

[gusty roost]

The BMW or your Corvette?, I'm confused

[jagged sentinel]

The model of Corvette pictured above

[jagged sentinel]

I missed that, my apologies

[night solar]

Corvette

[sage roost]

Dare i say regular C7s are bargains now

so is the C6 Z06

[dire shard]

that is very daring yes

i think people realized about the c6 already

[wispy mulch]

@jagged sentinel @night solar nice car are this pic taken from this location, located united state detroit.

[rich patio]

picture from my first ever official car spotting / show few years ago, this was the first car that i took a picture of

[sterile kayak]

I’m getting a red Ferrari soon that looks similar

[kind osprey]

Holy fuck you saw an enzo in person?

Lucky bastard

The photo resolution looks like it was taken when the car was brand new lol

So you can submit it to those nostalgia pages

[rich patio]

yessir, the photo was on my iphone 5 and i haven't got the time to digitize it or upload it somewhere
so i took the picture with my other phone to the screen lol

[kind osprey]

Ohhhh

Lmao

I feel you I did that with some of my old macbook air photos

It was halfway to death so I didn't wanna bother with trying to send it

And only in Europe really

[lone geyser]

This'd be why ive never seen one, i am america
Closest we have is the rio

[sage roost]

it's basically half the size of the rio

which is rather unsafe in America tbh

That problem is literally only in America and American built Kia's

their Alabama manufacturing facility has had quality control issues since forever

the car theft issue is only in America as well

[sterile kayak]

[sage roost]

how bad can parts made by a child be

but that's a question for another day

[dire shard]

it's so unfortunate

i love the stinger

i'm like 70% confident that the stinger doesn't share transmission issues the other kias have since it straight up has a different transmission

but engine? who knows

[sage roost]

I know someone who owns a stinger

he's pretty positive about it

[dire shard]

it's a great car

the ticking timebomb isn't an issue with the car, but an issue with the brand

[sage roost]

honestly if you HAVE to buy a Kia don't buy US spec ones

even if they're cheaper, but just don't buy them if you live in the states

[dire shard]

if i have to buy a car fuck no it's not being built in north america 💀

[sage roost]

yeah

American Kia's is where all the issues happen

[dire shard]

an entire continent where not a single soul gives a fuck about their work

[sage roost]

we've had our "Theta II ticking time bomb" Kia for 11 years and not a single issue

apart from minor ones like the window motor going out and whatnot

[dire shard]

my relatives have had like three kias over the past like twenty years, but i don't believe any of them have ever been a problem - only trading in for new models
they aren't car people though, you'd hope any car would last as appliances

evidently though... they don't?

[sage roost]

even muh Toyota has problems

[dire shard]

the correct place for a japanese car to come from is japan

not mexico 😎

[sage roost]

The entire TT V6 recall, Tacoma transmission failures, GR86 oil starvation etc etc

[sage roost]

could say that for most* car brands

best place for them to be built is the brand's origin

[dire shard]

oil starvation isn't a build quality issue, it's a design problem

[sage roost]

well it's a Subaru engine

So there's that

but still

[onyx rivet]

you telling me i can go back to lusting over Genesis G70 '"""""Shooting Brake'"""""

[dire shard]

now that fcked up RTV in oil pan issue, that's a quality problem

[sage roost]

pretty much

I have like... 6 or 7 family members who owned a Kia/hyundai for some time dating back to the early 2000s, don't think anyone complained of the engine or transmission going kaboom

only build quality which is expected from a cheap-ish brand like them

if I had to count how many Kias each family member owned, probably like 2 each lol

It’s a 4 cylinder

Man that livery is so good

I was gonna get a small scooter but:
1- They don’t have the storage I need
2- Their suspension sucks
3- They easily get stolen

Thank you mr Hennessey for putting America back on the map after SSC flopped

I wonder why this car only have 6 gears though

I'm surprised they didn't put 7

[onyx rivet]

the tuatara is the prettier looking car tbh

was it not hennessy that faked the speed record thingy

[kind osprey]

It looks beautiful but they are taking forever

The the top speed fabrics allegations

[kind osprey]

That was ssc

[onyx rivet]

oh

[kind osprey]

Hennessey has a much larger reputation to uphold as a tuner they would never do something like that

[onyx rivet]

after i shared those picture on another server i commented about hennessy faking the top speed lol

[kind osprey]

I would delete them before you get roasted 😭

[onyx rivet]

nah ill keep it in an edit

but otherwise only one person noted and i was confused then when he said that

[onyx rivet]

i would have thought that SSC had more riding on the top speed thingy because they at one point had the record for the highest top speed in a production car

but i guess you're right, i havnt heard anything since the Ultimate Aero until the tuatara

[mental lion]

Hennessey too

In 2012 270mph

Until it got beaten by koenigsegg in 2017

[jagged sentinel]

They're gunning for the record again

Hennessy is

[magic ledge]

Understandable

[mental lion]

Very underrated car maker ngl

[jagged sentinel]

They're a tuner first and a car manufacturer second

[mental lion]

Yea ik

They make cars like camaro exorcist etc

[jagged sentinel]

I mean the exorcist isn't exactly a new model

It shares pretty much everything but the stock engine tune with the standard Camaro ZL1; brakes, suspension, etc are all the same as that

I believe the transmission is beefed up as well

It's just a fancy name for a tuning package they offer; they offer 1000-horsepower options for multiple different cars

[loud spade]

I want a 1000-horsepower civic hatchback

Do they have that

[worthy hornet]

did you know the figure that matters in term of drag racing is power to weight ratio

it tells you everything about the car

[jagged sentinel]

Getting the power to the ground is more important

[worthy hornet]

true but the main spec is the power to weight ratio

when you compare cars

[jagged sentinel]

Eh

Professional drag racing is highly regulated

[worthy hornet]

when i was looking in the specs comparison back in the old days i was looking at different specs like power and weight and choosing my dream car]

[jagged sentinel]

Everything pro-stock and up is given the same engine and chassis by the manufacturer, the choice of forced induction is a per-team though

[worthy hornet]

for example in tk2k drag racing you look at tyres and power to weight ]

tx2k sorry

even at a blind choice its hard to compare cars based on looks

[jagged sentinel]

Straight line performance isn't the only way to judge performance cars tbh

It shouldn't be

[worthy hornet]

why should iy

it

its the best of the best that record the best time

[jagged sentinel]

Wdym

[worthy hornet]

i mean the best time is the shortest time to get over the line and track performace isnt the real world

Road testing cars is the best idea of what is best

[jagged sentinel]

If you're judging a performance car on their performance there's no better place to do that than the track

[worthy hornet]

but it isnt tho because drag racing does that

the quickest is the shortest time

[jagged sentinel]

And actual race tracks too lol

Lap times are a better way to judge overall performance than drag racing

[worthy hornet]

Yes but are you going to be brake fading you brakes in the real world

you dont get brake fading irl

[quartz prawn]

huh

[jagged sentinel]

Huh?

Brake fade absolutely is a thing that happens IRL

Both on track and on the road

[worthy hornet]

i mean there are factors that on real life roads there is no brake fade and other factors dont come into real life roads

[jagged sentinel]

Brake fade is a real thing

Brake pads and rotors grind themselves away, that's how they function

[worthy hornet]

I know but you can only feel it when on a track

[jagged sentinel]

Also untrue

[worthy hornet]

When have you ever felt brake fade when not going ten tenths

[jagged sentinel]

You will lose braking performance over time because of how brakes work

[worthy hornet]

when you shop or going on canyon roads you dont feel it

[jagged sentinel]

Trucks and those towing loads regularly have it worse

[worthy hornet]

Well yes because of the heavy laden loads and they have other braking features

no just brakes

[jagged sentinel]

They have to have other things like engine brakes because of brake fade

[worthy hornet]

not just that but run offs and trailer brakes

[jagged sentinel]

Runoffs are a last resort

[worthy hornet]

The onset of brake fade is more significant on tracks than on roads

thats what im saying

[jagged sentinel]

I'm not denying that but saying it doesn't happen on roads at all is factually untrue

Anyway

[worthy hornet]

Your brakes dont get red hot in road cars

only on tracks

because of contant use and the pressure

When on a road you are not driving ten tenths so brake fade isnt that susceptible to happen

[mental lion]

I know lol but i forgot their other package names they’re kinda like saleen

[jagged sentinel]

Most of their packages don't really have names

[mental lion]

I remember a tune for the raptor called hellosaurus or something similar a 6x6 raptor with 1000+ hp

Crazy shit

[loud spade]

It happens, just much slower

It was interesting seeing a video on truck brakes

They’re not hydraulic like car brakes

They use compressed air

And work backwards in a way

So the pistons push against the rotor if there’s no air pressure, and once there is pressure they’re off

When you press the brake, it releases some pressure, therefore allowing the pads to make contact witn the discs

In case the air pump fails, the brakes come on

Safety feature

And it’s why you hear that air leaking sound when trucks are braking

[jagged sentinel]

Or that discharging like sound when they set off or like put it in park

Jake brakes tho

[kind osprey]

Some road cars have carbon ceramics

So you could get them up to temp if you wanted to be cheeky

https://youtu.be/JM4cplpzvRU?si=MmfMv0RArq4qMAPJ

This is what it sounds like without any pesky noise control devices

(they're banned in pretty much every developed city in America)

They make a lot of noise regardless of whether the exhaust is modified or not

[loud spade]

How does it work

Uses exhaust gases?

[dire shard]

🤨

what the frick

[nova estuary]

Trying to look like a N trim? lol

[dire shard]

trying to look like a completely different generation of car, more like

this is the previous generation of elantra

i'm amazed the bumper even fit on it

perfectly

with panel gaps that look almost factory

and the wheel well and fender lining up

and the headlights??

though, that looks cut

[nova estuary]

Either way, that's a lot of effort for that look. To each their own I guess

[kind osprey]

My favorite 2024 model, the 2015 Elantra

[quartz prawn]

really? like what

i remember seeing an aston martin squeaking its brakes off at a stop light lol

[jagged sentinel]

You probably just heard carbon ceramic brakes

They make that sort of noise

[quartz prawn]

yeah i realized it was carbon ceramics

i thinked a watched a video on why it squeaks a lot like maybe a day before then lol

[kind osprey]

Almost any performance car over $150,000 has them as an option

A good chunk of them come with them standard

[nova estuary]

Carbon ceramic brakes can be like $12k-$20k to replace too, depending on the car.

So many vehicles that need them replaced be looking like a steal of a price, until you realize that's why lol

I valeted a brand new F Type with them when it came out like 10 years ago and the owners buddy was saying how he'd rather live in France for a month each year instead of paying for all the service of a car like that

[mental lion]

I bet the car is worth $40k

[nova estuary]

Now, most likely.

[mental lion]

But still have the same maintenance fee or maybe even more 😂

[nova estuary]

I think it's safe to say that maintaining a 10+ year old British sports car will be quite expensive 😆

The guys with super cars at the country club I valeted either traded and upgraded after one or two years, or they had a decent sized collection and only put maybe 1k miles on em each year.

[mental lion]

Nothings more expensive than a cheap car from a luxurious brand

[mental lion]

Totally

[dire shard]

which is really miserable news because i really like the vh vantage and db9 😢

they're dirt cheap but you're maintaining a like 15 year old british performance car it's over for your finances

[night steeple]

thats sad because those aston martins were the one of the best car designs

[manic flame]

lil car meet thingy

might get more pics this afternoon

[nova estuary]

What is that thing?! Looks like a belly tank car kinda

[manic flame]

i think it an old bugatti

[nova estuary]

Wow. That's a wild spot

[manic flame]

there was an event goin on

[jagged sentinel]

mutsang

[manic flame]

there was like 5 of em

[nova estuary]

I forget they're not so common like in the US. There's like 5 every few miles you drive

[manic flame]

there was a lot of Alpine a110 and even an a110 s , and yall dont get those at all

[jagged sentinel]

I'm not even sure they'd sell well in the US to begin with

[manic flame]

prob not

[kind osprey]

Definitely not a Bugatti but beautiful find

I love those little 1920's race cars

[kind osprey]

I want one so bad

[jagged sentinel]

They're pretty neat

[kind osprey]

My only happiness lies in the fact we have the Lotus Emira

But if that didn't exist I would be fiening for an a110 so hard

[jagged sentinel]

I was gonna say, you're stuck with whatever lotus is making

[manic flame]

there was a few infront of it

[kind osprey]

That is the best stuck I've ever been in the emira is gorgeous

It's like a good looking Mclaren autura

And with a Toyota engine, I can afford the maintenance

[jagged sentinel]

I see DMC-12

[manic flame]

yyyup

[jagged sentinel]

I always wondered how many of them got sold abroad

They were made in Ireland during the troubles or some shit

[manic flame]

yeee

[kind osprey]

If you get a DeLorean remember to poke a hole in the tires for a surprise

[jagged sentinel]

I always thought the troubles was a funny name for what was basically almost a civil war

[manic flame]

theres a bigger event tomorrow where i wont have to take pics for the back of the Brabus

BC it was very windy

[jagged sentinel]

Which would explain most of the issues the DMC-12 had

[manic flame]

it had a Renault engine if im not wrong

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah

It was supposed to have a Ford V6 iirc but things happened last-minute so they had to change

Or was it a lotus engine...

I don't remember

[manic flame]

its the same engine in the alpine GTA i think

or A310 idk

[jagged sentinel]

No, apparently it's actually way weirder than that

Apparently it was originally planned to have a rotary engine, of all things

[manic flame]

that checks out tbh

[jagged sentinel]

John DeLorean was an interesting man

[onyx rivet]

what's the white car

some old Morgan or jaguar?

[manic flame]

im not too sure

Jaguar XK 140 1956 by th elooks of it

[onyx rivet]

yeah it is

i had to zoom in the emblem which i thought was a brake light
and then try to use my brain on what jaguar that could have been

probably my favourite vehicle you sent on your spots

[manic flame]

i used the google photo serch thingy

[manic flame]

it was actually pretty far from us, thankfully the traffic was slow so i could get it from our car xd

[manic flame]

its an Aliexpress bumper xd

[sage roost]

can anyone explain the sudden urge of wanting a mustang

specifically the S550

[jagged sentinel]

It stands alone in its market so

[sage roost]

you're not wrong

but Im looking at the mustang specifically instead of the Camaro or the challenger from that time

[onyx rivet]

american indoctrination

the coming of age story in an american society

[jagged sentinel]

It sold the most, to the surprise of few

Plus the aftermarket support is probably the best of the 3 pony cars

[sage roost]

it's also the cheapest of the 3

From what I've seen

[jagged sentinel]

Indeed

The Camaro was the most expensive of the 3 but overall the best sports car

[sage roost]

I can get good deals on 2015-17 5.0s with good mileage

[jagged sentinel]

The manual for the S550 GTs and below sucked though

[sage roost]

oh?

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah the MT82 is a garbage transmission

[sage roost]

from what I've seen people were not recommending the 10 speed from 18 and up

so that narrows it down to the 6AT from 15-17?

[jagged sentinel]

The 10 speeds are clunky but they're beasts

It's virtually the same transmission, unchanged, as in the Camaro ZL1

Like literally the same, Ford and GM worked together for some fucking reason

[sage roost]

Ok transmission aside

how's the engine reliability wise

[jagged sentinel]

The Ford Coyote V8 is an exceptional platform

It's reliable and can make some serious power if you have the money

[sage roost]

hmmm

one downside is you have to experience ford's average quality at best

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

[sage roost]

unfortunate

[jagged sentinel]

I haven't heard as much about the 2.3 Ecoboost and I've heard even less about their V6

[jagged sentinel]

Apparently still used in the S650

[sage roost]

So I double checked

[jagged sentinel]

GT only though, Dark Horse has a tried-and-true tremec

[sage roost]

The S550 is comparable in price to the 5th gen Camaro

and much cheaper than the 6th gen

[jagged sentinel]

I mean it was the one before the S550

And is probably the reason the S550 finally got independent rear suspension

Chevy beat them to it by 6 years

[sage roost]

What I meant is

[jagged sentinel]

Yes prices are similar

[sage roost]

the S550 is considerably cheaper than the 6th gen Camaro from the same years

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah

[sage roost]

granted you want the V8 from both

[jagged sentinel]

That's one of the reasons the Camaro failed to sell

Not probably

it is one of the reasons it didn't sell

[sage roost]

Meanwhile

The non-hellcat SRT is the most expensive of the 3

[quartz prawn]

yeah ik that i thought you meant like normal traffic road cars

[kind osprey]

Yea they are getting pretty popularized now even though they only really show their benefits in tracking conditions

They don't fade

So for a track they are awesome

[modern edge]

who likes my bus

T291

[kind osprey]

They are also 2.2 times lighter than regular brakes

[quartz prawn]

they also degrade 2.2 x 10 times faster than regular ones

[kind osprey]

The rotors don't degrade or fade

If you use them normally they can last years upon years

Which is good since they cost a fortune

The only time you absolutely to replace the rotors is when there is a chip in them

Because if there is not proper contact between the pad and rotor the whole thing is fucked and it'll cause a lot of damage

It happened to this Huracan once it was not pretty, it was the guys fault though he should've replaced his pads

[cedar jasper]

clueless me
oh cool i wanna see how much they co- 100K FOR 1 CERAMIC DISK

[fleet owl]

Miles @static stirrup

[static stirrup]

Oh dman still pretty decent though

[fleet owl]

Yeah it's on the low ish side for these cars, at least I think so. Surely could go for another 100k miles at least I'd say

[loud spade]

How many miles?

[fleet owl]

121k

[loud spade]

God damn

That’s almost 200k KM

Probably well maintained

Was it your dad’s or something?

[fleet owl]

No no I bought it from some guy on autotrader. I've only done 5k miles in it so far

[loud spade]

You got lucky then

Have you had any problems so far?

[fleet owl]

No problems actually. The engines on these are bulletproof, the things that go first are axles or anything structural that is metal and rusts

[loud spade]

Ah

That probably wears out quick in UK weather

What’s the car?

[fleet owl]

Yeah a fair bit tbh. Could be worse tho, if we actually had snow every year the grit they put on the roads would make the rust even more of a problem

Peugeot 107

[loud spade]

I want to see if it has an iron block and aluminium head or

Oh wow it’s an inline 3

That’s an odd one

Is it smooth?

[fleet owl]

Yeah I think so at least. These cars sound quite tinny tho, so that might be why

[loud spade]

Ok so the engine is fully aluminium, which means heat cycles don’t wear it out as much

But 200k is still insane

[fleet owl]

Hopefully I get to 330k km before any major issues

[loud spade]

Why 330k exactly

You’d probably replace it by then I feel like

[fleet owl]

320 I mean. just cause that's 200k miles

[loud spade]

Ah

[fleet owl]

Probably, not for anything more powerful just something nicer looking

But at the same time, if I don't need to blow money on a new one I'll just work with this

[loud spade]

I’m not surprised it uses a toyota engine

[loud spade]

Yeah

It’s just a matter of how far can everything else hold up before it gets outlived by the engine

You learn something new everyday, apparently some engines use timing chains instead of belts

Like this one

[fleet owl]

Yeah another benefit

As long as you do regular oil changes you shouldn't really need to look at the chain being replaced or anything, but the belt probably do

At least that's how I see it, idk if that's actually the case

Or if they both need replaced after a certain mileage

As far as engine internals go, I leave to the professionals 😅

But, aftermarket exhausts don’t have to be cringe

Just don’t do a muffler delete and call it a day

yea stock 👀

the silencers are defo still on there and the cat case defo isnt empty 👀

[kind osprey]

For sound, very little will beat a high revving naturally aspirated v10 between 4.5-6 liters

So all these m3's with ali express burble kits just seem like regular traffic compared to a symphony of like even a stock r8

Someone who lives near me got a sound ticket for his Huracan for being too loud but it was a factory exhaust 💀

So he's suing because tickets are only valid for aftermarket sound increases

[jagged sentinel]

They also dramatically shorten the service life of the noise and emissions control systems of said exhaust

Especially the emissions stuff

[loud spade]

The cool thing about cars is, you can customise them to your liking

But that’s still 💀

First subscriptions then ads

If you have a non-techy car right now, you should do your best to maintain it and keep it going as long as possible

Or you’ll end up paying car companies to have air conditioning

[old sedge]

What makes infotainment ads a good idea?

People are already bombarded with ads. Opening internet browsers, Facebook, there are already ads unless you have ad blockers

About the subscription based heated seats, I wish someone already managed to hack into it to activate it without paying. I don't like piracy, but I don't think this would be considered as such because that subscription itself is robbery

[loud spade]

It’s probably been done, but even then you still have to pay to get it to work

[nova estuary]

Ooo I like it! These are all available too 💪

Limited to 6 :/

[sage roost]

I like the last one

[nova estuary]

That's my pick too

[sage roost]

no offense to you or any other minivan owners but I fear the day that I might have to buy a minivan

only option that I'd pick is those old VTEC V6 odysseys or the siennas

[nova estuary]

Trust me, there are alot of other vehicles I would've liked to spend that money on. But it makes life sooo much easier. It's the perfect vehicle for a family.

I would've liked to get the sienna, but they're all going $8k-$10k over msrp, if you can even get one allocated to you.

[sage roost]

yeah toyota and markups

smh

[nova estuary]

We built/ordered a '24 from our dealership in December. Kia didn't get to it before they started the face-lifted '25s. They're going for $4k over at our dealer, but we got it for msrp due to the long wait and headache

[sage roost]

honestly the family vehicle that i really, really like is the CX90 phev specifically

it's so cool

[nova estuary]

Yessss. Considered that, but sliding doors man. They're so underrated

[sage roost]

V6?

niiice

enjoy it

[nova estuary]

Not the hybrid either, which is a new option for '25

Thanks man, it's already covered in cereal

[sage roost]

the hybrid is 1.6L no?

bit too small for the size of the vehicle me thinks.

[nova estuary]

Not 100% sure, but it gets 34 ish mpg vs our 23 ish, which would've been nice

[sage roost]

yeah

[nova estuary]

But idk how much faith I have in a first year of a new Kia motor

Anyway, appreciate the plate suggestion!

[kind osprey]

You say "even" like a Tesla is better lmao

They are cheaply made and soulless they are one trick acceleration ponies

The Taycan actually looks beautiful, compared to gas or ev in general it is an amazing looking sedan

And it actually handles well

It also has 2 gears so you get more control over the motor

[dire shard]

even if it's a tesla 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 more like i'm avoiding that shit like the plague especially because it's a tesla

[jagged sentinel]

Not to mention it has the performance and tried-and-true quality pedigree of Porsche

Objectively yes

Teslas are a to b commuter vehicles

Porsche is a fun car company

Two different buyers

[sterile kayak]

Holy shit, it’s a need

[sage roost]

No offense but

are you trolling

If I had unlimited money and needed an EV I would choose the taycan over any Tesla in a heartbeat
