i forget what that bumper is called
Not really
It allows you to register just about anything (within reason) to drive, but only 2500 miles a year iirc
Who's counting 
yeah i actually know how they would regulate that limit
unless its a bit complicated than that, you can ways lie
You do?
no, i meant to type out 'i actually dont know'
i dont actually know
i was hoping you would be able to tell us
I don't know, I never really thought about it but I'd imagine there's something, I can look it up
Ok so according to AI the NHTSA inspects your vehicle every year
yeah that checks out
I mean it makes total sense
2500 miles = 4023.36 kilometres for those who cant be arsed searching it up in metric
And a source was given by this AI, I'll post it if requested
on the wiki, they claim that 2500 is the mileage limit already put on vehicles with a limited-use status by insurers anyways
Yeah I'd imagine insurance has a hand in that too
having a skim through Show and Display vehicles statuses in the us just reminds me that you can do anything, so long as you are able to pay up for it
straight up created a ruling out if thin air because tech dude wanted a porsche (i dont really blame him)
replicated my irl gt86 😇
That's stupid
Is the car in gtaO or u modded that shi
yeah its the s95 on southern autos
It also costs more than registering it as a "regular" vehicle
Which is what it was prior lol
It was a lonely dude's daily since he bought it new
On pc we don't get shot anymore that is from the current gen consoles
They’re very rare. Especially when you have it in the special 1of 2500 color
every time something breaks in this car it gets replaced with mismatched shit, this time one of the lights broke so I went back to halogens, also one of the spark plug wire was from a different car xd
why would u do that lol
I just have spare halogens lol, not worth buying new anyways
This car has a big ass turbo somewhere, I just need to look harder
this is not the mazda 323 relax it doesn't have a turbo xd, just the engine

Not yet 
only in kl
ev lovers

EVs have potential but it's not really their time yet
The technology is not good enough
There isn't really much to innovate on but efficiency and software
My driving style suits an EV, but I want to go "vroom" at least some of the time, so I'd own a hybrid, but I wouldn't buy one
Unless they made a Golf Hybrid
It's contradicting the whole purpose
Ding ding ding
Just get more batteries to move the weight of all the batteries lol 😆
Even pollution wise they're terrible
My driving style suits a 3.9 liter v12 that revs to 12000 rpm
but we all don't get what we want :(
Not an 8.4L V10?
yo
jojo
Cant be unreliable if it just bursts into flames amirite
they do have two models
yes its a plug-in hybrid and i dont know whether or not they sell to you locally but they got two models
you mean leaving it on a set of tyre cradles, inside an air and humidty regulated storage bubble with 40 other simillar cars of brake horsepower in the same warehouse?
there’s a golf hybrid

Tho it ain’t a standard hybrid
tho a new corolla is really nice golf alternative and it comes with 1.8 and 2.0 hybrid models
PHEVs are awesome, ngl
if u know how to use them then yes
PHEV’s are nice to go to shopping malls in them
Mostly because my trips are mostly in the city
just park on ev spots
So I take advantage of the electric range
I will never prob get a car
love cars and interested in them but it makes no sense to buy it
the metro is just so much faster and more convenient and a whole lot cheaper too
I have a few lol. Mostly old ones but I like cars xD
US right?
Nah I am based in Europe
ohh
I can’t own a car but still no way I would be driving 90minites to the center
But I like having cars for the sake of having them
While the metro takes me 17minutes
It must be a best feeling ever
The metro does solve the traffic congestion problems
I would just have a car for me just to sit in it in the garage
like all of public transport
cough cough America
XD
Tbh, the investment they would have to make to cover the entirety of the US would be enormous
China, for example, continue to open and build even more railroads
And reduce the traffic issues they have
Even some countries in Africa are working on that
yeah trains are the future
Yup
not planes or Evs like some people say
trains are the past, present, and future
Tbh it’s best to have a hybrid and use it to access places which take more time by car
trains are the everything
tho they need to be electric DMU’s aren’t that great
Lemme look up a pic of the Panamera
Hold on
Oh crap. I can’t send pics here
I will dm you one
I was thinking about the Corrola or Yaris but sure Panamera would be eco
Okay
my dads friend had a panamera plug in hybrid from 2019 I think
It was so fire the seatbelts tightened while accelerating
They are amazing
Does it happen to have a fan attached to it
And is it the spiritual successor to the highest top speed NA engine road car yet?
I shouldn't have said 3.9 so I could've said you guys were wrong and posted a Valkyrie

Does a valkyrie rev to 12000 rpm?
Pretty sure redline is 11,000
_ _
What its this channel for? Talk about buses and trucks?
And Trains!
LITERALLY came here by accident
Talking about vehicles
Formula Supra
Hoonigan Autofocus is now the Larry Chen Channel!
We caught up with professional Formula Drift driver @RyanTuerck after he and his team spent the last two years hustling on this truly unique Toyota Supra, powered by a legendary Judd V10. It's a build we've all been following since its inception and it's ben a blast to see each and every piece c...

And why isnt call #vehicles or #cars
It was one of the two awhile ago
Cars aren't the only thing people talk about so that's my understanding why that was changed
Nothing gets you to point a to point b quite like an old ford heep of junk small 90's pickup truck rattling on the streets.
It's a vibe that most people don't get to experience anymore due to how cheap modern "old" vehicles have become.
"Aspen 20, you're under arrest for doing 2120 over an 80."
I once had the vibe of driving an RB swapped jeep renegade, it had no roof, seatbelts, and basket weave for doors, that felt amazing lmao
Bye
bye bye
Sell it
+1
I would buy
burn it
No
yes
What car should I buy? It's my first car
depends on the 💵
I can spend around 15k
I think Toyota Camry is nice
Maybe, I prefer a manual since that's what I learned in is it manual?
Lol
I tried driving auto it's too boring
Yeah like doing nothing
Tbh a civic seems like a good option
yeah it is cool
Don't know if u remember but Chris fix had shown a picture saying u can only pick two out of three things and it was fast cheap and reliable
Reliable always the first thing (Dont buy korean cars they are bad)
My dad said don't buy evos I can't remember why
Oh the normal lancer is better
IDK why too that what people told me
I think it's because their parts got imported from foreign countries
Maybe
why I cant send a photo
Probably server rules
I think cause my level is low
That too
where r u from bro
Near u
Lol where near me
Jordan
Ah ye that is pretty near
yeah

Tbh car prices here are outrageous
🙏🏻
Why
I hope this doesn't make it to the final design
If it was official at all
It's everywhere
The watermark gives me the impression it's a third-party render
Yeah I looked deeper, and thankfully it's just a prediction
i did some wiring for my amplifier
and also i replaced the battery stock negative cable 10awg to 4awg cable
and yea 👍
Is it possible for you to just run two batteries in parallel instead of trying to suck all the current you can from a single batt?
yea its possible but this setup is commonly used in applications where additional power is needed, but my setup is pretty simple im just using 4 speakers and amp
i actually re did my engine harness and dash harness all over for it to last longer since the car is 25 years old

350z
Car is much safer
But a bike is much quicker
Looks like it’s designed by hotwheels
It's just...mid
While i hate the hurucan i absolutely agree
I dont hate the car itself
Just how overused it is
I personally never found that a reason to dislike a car
If other people use it in a stupid corny or nonsensical way it doesn't change the performance and handling
G wagons are the most capable offroaders from factory, but it's a shame 95% of them are never used in that way
What type of offroad we talking
Most of people only buy the street version of it which is the g63
Amg models are usually unpopular among other mercedes cars like e class c class
Except the g wagon
I rarely see a g500
Even the 63 has some off-road DNA in it
And of course there's the off-road package to give it some more
Too bad nobody will get this package
I'm sure lots of people do
The same kind of person to buy a raptor and never take it off-road or people who buy a big fancy truck and never tow anything
Just in a higher tax bracket
American excess, baby
Raptors considered fancy?
Dont get me wrong its very capable
Raptor is the top trim offroader f150
Only one that is higher is the Platinum I think
Platinum is a luxury trim, not specific to the F-Series either
Isnt “king ranch” the highest trim?
King Ranch and Platinum are essentially siblings
Although the platinum is typically higher on the totem pole, so to speak
In any case, price isn't relevant to my point
My point was that people will buy these super capable vehicles with no intention of using all of said capability
I kinda see why g wagon owners dont take it offroading
Raptors can get pretty expensive anyway
Its a. 250k vehicle
I don't think most take it off-road because most didn't buy it for its off-road abilities lol
Yea they easily exceed the 100k mark
Yea they are more of a status
I will fully admit that I am one of those people who would buy something that they don't need
If I could I'd probably get a super loaded nice ram 2500 diesel
So do the vast majority of people
But market says otherwise
I'm assuming you mean stuff like the Raptor and TRX
Makrups on trx and raptors are crazy
Yep
Not really, considering how many more regular trucks are on the road
I also park Ford cars for a living so I also have some anecdotal input
Guess its just a popularity thing then
Mhmm
Also ive been looking through the high f150 trims and they’re very confusing ngl
Theres like 3 trims that cost the same with minimal differences
Like what
Limited platinum and king ranch
The limited costs a little more
Gotta take another look
I think they should combine them into one trim and give it the king ranch name
King Ranch is notably different from the platinum in terms of styling
It's more popular down south as I understand, especially texas
The King Ranch incorporates more color and wood into its interior while the platinum looks more modernized
Yea it got the 2 tons colors and all
If I had Escalade V ESV money I would buy it yesterday
it's way too overkill but it's insane
Yeah I love me an Escalade V too
I would get a G Wagon
Perfect vehicle to go to your local starbucks and back
Thats its charm
It's only useful if you have like 5 kids or a couch to move
I'd much rather have a built 4 runner or a G wagon if money is not a factor
This is a quick list of the cars I would own if I was worth a few mil and had my housing/real estate situation already sorted out
Honorable mention would be an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio
Like of I had second daily car in there
Hardest part would be figuring out where tf to store all of them
$1,000,000 budget car list with an lfa would be:
-$600 1995 Honda Accord with rust
-$999,400 Lfa

I remember when they came out I didn't understand why they were $375,000 because kid me didn't see it as a flashy car but if I knew about internals back then I think I would've understood it a lot better
A maxed out Murcielago was like $350,000 at the time so it was a steep price tag for Lexus, even then they lost money overall 
2005 g wagon?
The avenatador was was released around that period of time and it started from 400k
Yea new ones are way too expensive and don't offer too much more that the old ones don't
All I need are the offroad capabilities, and every G wagon has that down pat
So I'd just pay $28,000 for a 2005-2009 one and put $20,000 into modifications
If you dont care about comfort then sure
Every g wagon was a body on frame except this one
G wagons are meant to be the most comfortable live axle offroaders
I'm not buying a gwagon for comfort it is a box on offroad tires
Yea but i feel like the old ones have the same comfort as a 70s defender
I like them for their capabilities from factory and their build quality
Pre 2019 g wagons
If you wanted a jeep wrangler to offroad like a g wagon right out of the show room you would need at minimum $20,000 in mods
They are overpriced but you get a lot of car for it
Never mind lmao
For this amount its the best value
Yea my g wagon would be a monster truck I'd lift it like 8 inches and shove some 37-40's on it
Front and rear portal axles
Keeping the triple lock diffs it comes with of course
It would be my snowmobile
And rock crawler
Yea it teleports to save on gas
I would take it to Alaska
Too far, I'd be happy with Pennsylvania lol
Or just any decent crawler trail
I was really into offroading back then, I like track and road cars but offroading is a cool little pocket of fun you can have so I want at least one extremely capable car
The Audi rs6 is also good for it cause awd but it's not going up rocks or anything
Unless you already live in alaska
Which is highly unlikely
Helll no xD
Its missing ground clearance
Yea but for steep roads with not ideal slip (snow dirt and slush etc) it will do just fine
It just can't do deep offroad stuff
Exactly audi exceeds in awd
That’s basically their thing
Then they became luxurious
i have no idea but the thing was modified like crazy
Big ol billy bob tires
took us up a glacier
Nice
Its a ford pickup truck
You don't say
It's at least a 350 if it has the dually fender, which it appears to
That being said, the front fenders are also modified so..
In this video I'm fully restoring the complete front axle with all the suspension components and the steering rack. I took the full assembly off the car in the teardown in episode 1.
At first it looked like a quick and easy job, but after seeing all the parts after disassembly I knew this might take a little longer. I decided to go with a classi...
Fellow my mech watcher
Fire
If the saleen s7 and honda nsx had a baby
i’m so so annoyed
i hate getting woken up and then not being able to go back to sleep even tho. i need to
whats ur favorite car
ummm i don’t really mind i just want an SUV
u got taste

bruh wtf i’m so sleep deprived i thought this was #community 😭
but thanks btw
tee hee
barely touched lol

Porsche 911:
930 - Love that classic look.
Carrera 4S 996 - This was the model I saw a lot in my childhood/teenage years. Very nostalgic
992 GT3 RS - Cmon, I gotta have a track machine
I've had the tabs open to answer that question since you first asked. Just got around to posting it
Just when I was finally 100% determined to settle for a Cayman, now I really have to get a 911 huh...

took you long enough

I am ngl, it's kinda ugly
It just looks like most 90's supercars
Most 90's supercars look far better than that
I wish I could afford a 964, such a great design
I was going back and forth between the 930 & 964, but I knew of the 930 first, so I went with that
hi
Perfection
hey cryptic
hi weebtic
Over 4000HP in a video
Where
Lol

I fucking love twin turbo vipers
Are you saying both cars had 2k HP
What's the best car brand in the world????? I say Toyota 🗿
I was doubting it haha
Black or steel
Shiny black could look clean too but I'll see
Yeah black would look very good on that blue
Yeah man 🔥
Guys what is the best Imani Tech vehicle for Xbox One players now that they added around 50 new ones???
It's impossible to broaden it that much cause companies are the best at different types of vehicles
But if you are speaking about overall like their impact, and their model range
My answer would be Mercedes. Their new stuff has been kinda lacking but looking from a long term perspective it's Mercedes
@naive thorn switching sides now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But Mercedes is strong yeah
Toyota is the biggest but from history perspective it is indeed Mercedes
Porsche, they made tanks, tractors and everything in between
And cars also
Nowadays I'll take a Toyota over a Mercedes in most contexts
Hmmmmm
What about them American cars
No competition ig
American cars are uhh
American cars are the most unreliable cars made
I started a Toyota mini model collection
Imma order a garage with led lights looks so dope

Cook
I will bro I will update you guys when I have it done ✅

Goes for Made-In-America cars too
I'd say let them Japanese and Koreans make the cars lol
There's a reason where I live the cheapest version of cars are always the ones imported from the US
Because 99.9% of automobiles that exit their factories are unreliable junk
test drove my first EV today, a BYD dolphin, surprisingly normal feeling
still woudnt buy one tho because the import tax made it fucking expensive lmao
what is the convo abt
idk i just got here
May I interest you in the BYD seagull
with its electric motor thats way too powerful for its size
74hp
we dont have that one here sadly
I... I'd hope it feels normal since it's still just a car
yeah i guess thats to be expected, they want it to be as similar as possible to ice so people dont freak out too much
definitely more comfortable during traffic jams tho since it has no vibrations
I think they meant normal enough compared to other EVs
Like if you step in a Tesla for example the acceleration and regen braking would feel rather unnatural at first
nah that was my first ev I sat in the driver seat
it felt normal to an ice
maybe a tesla is really different then
i want flex fuel kit..
Will you bestow some car knowledge on me?
yes
Dm

Certified car mekanik
Certified bike mekanik
honestly it should
most people don't notice the differences
it's quieter, and has more torque - to a regular commuter, what else matters?
cutie cars
Mk2 yaris 
Got a pic? 🤣
Calm down big boy
Why bluring plates whats someone gonna do, check your mileage?
Nice cars tho, esp the left
wait are those NL plates
Ionknow i saw other ppl doin it to haha
Yea I'm from the Netherlands
Ah I thought it was UK
Oh nice
In norway you can search it up and get my full name and where I live so no thanks
Thnx appreciate that
💀🤣
Yeah thats risky then, here you can do that if you know how but its very hard
Yeah it’s not hard here
all you can really get is mileage and roadworthiness status
Tried typing it now on google and instantly found my address xd
Norway too open with this info
Scary tbf
Tax records are public aswell, woo
Yea better to blur that
I don't like electric cars but this looks cold icl 😂🥶
gotta wonder how much is your range is impacted
probably not significant in a daily situation
The cold affects me more day to day than longer trips
Cold sucks
But overall the range indicates 480km under supreme conditions, however now I am getting around 400km
Of course depending on how I am driving, it’s less because I am a adrenaline junkie and like to go fast
And its the performance variant
Hoping to buy an rs6 this year
That's a huge upgrade
W
Still keeping the tesla as my work car though as it’s incredibly cheap
Damnn my car can go like 1k km with like 50 euros of gas
Rs6's depreciate like crazy so you could save $75000 by just getting a 3 year old model
It's great
I pay roughly 3€ to charge fully
Okay that's really cheap icl
At work I dont pay at all cause free charging
that's even better 😎
I have 40000km on it, bought it in december 2023
I wanna get a Lotus Elise soon
Whenever I can comfortably afford it cause I don't want a car payment tbh
It's tempting though
Norway damn, you must be saving a fortune with that tesla then
Gas is $10 a gallon there
Yeps
How do I get access to post pictures
you have it now
you're welcome i granted it to you
I noticed
let me break my neck rq
Lol
Insane traction
If only there was a way to rotate the videos so they appear in the appropriate orientation and you don't have to rotate the device you are using just to watch it...
Not sure how I feel about it
Mfs are talking straight out of their ass
Why would you want a GTR without the engine
Yeah there was a bit of the typical glazing and buzzword spam out of the slop automotive magazines like this one
Its over
Hey gents! Is it better to downgrade to an SXT or gt from an rt challenger?
yes
don't drive a brick
rip
@placid spruce has an rt and came from a v6 mustang, he might tell you to keep the v8 have some insight too
Yeah Ty- I have a house in the mid west near the Canadian border so it’s snowy
So I do need to account for snow also
For a short time they produced AWD RT chargers
It was at the tail end of the previous generation charger's lifespan iirc
Well, two generations ago now
for chargers yeah, i don't believe they did for challengers
Nope
I wouldn't be too surprised if a front drive axle from like a police charger would fit on a challenger but
Obviously that's more trouble than its worth
more of a challenger than its worth
My rt bell didn’t last well this winter
Can't imagine why
Because I ride hard and fast lmao
That was sarcasm, I know why RWD high-output (relatively speaking) cars don't lend themselves well to winter
Least of all high-output boats like challengers
I love driving like the duke boys lmao
But I’m not going to do that since my car would be totaled lol
My car isn't worth speeding in
Ah fun fun..
Technically I do speed, basically all the time, but usually just 5 over, 10 depending on the limit of the particular bit of interstate I'm on

i gun it in the middle of the night
My parents don't like me driving in the middle of the night
My neighbors would hate it if I went and reved lol
To be honest I love doing it at home
Driving around at 12-3 in the morning is just different to during the day, I don't know how to describe it
Quiet neighborhood
probably a similar feeling to walking around at 3am too
you just feel more free
Yeah
My family (not in my state) used to get on my ass for driving at night too
That being said, I very rarely go on drives for no reason
Every time I went out past 11 was usually for food
gas too expensive to drive for no reason 😔
They would tell me it’s dangerous lol but I’d still do it since I paid for rent / and bought my car lol
So they couldn’t kick me out
My parents are currently paying for my car so it would be wise not to taunt that lol
I taunted my family with me driving at 2 am
Since they would lose their money from rent if they lost me lmao
i'd do this but everything is closed after like 9 here 😂 fuck lemme out
They mostly dislike me going out at ridiculous hours because it's not the safest thing, which is a fair concern for a parent
I was 18 young and stupid
Yeah
I went to a 247 taco shop lol
Sonic is my late-night place of choice
I haven’t fixed my sleep schedule lol
It always tastes better at 12, 1 in the morning and I don't know why
My go to is a mc Donald’s imo the fries go hard
Yeah, that's my second choice
They usually are open later than Sonic anyway
My job which was online .. so I could go and get away with long drives
So I could do those long ass night drives without worrying about being late
I work normal hours and I have school when I'm not working, so midnight snacks wouldn't be the best idea
Plus my parents would interrogate me about going out at midnight anyway bcs life360
My midnight snack was a monster lol I know stupid me lol
I can't drink monster most days
Older? Or just health concerns?
Doesn't play nice with my medication
Makes my heart race
I can't drink anything with more caffeine than like a Dr pepper when I'm medicated, otherwise it will disrupt my thinking and focus and make me feel funny
damn, if i had to have that you bet i'd be leaving my phone at home
My family would grill me and say it’s dangerous lol
But they couldn’t evict because I was paying and bought my car in cash
If I was more familiar with my area I would consider that
Idk parents worried about their daughter going on night rides.. idk id be worried if I was a parent (gladly not)
It wouldn't matter if I left my phone at home or not because my parents would hear the doors opening and closing and the car start and stuff
true
Get a burner phone and map
yeah, an old phone can still be a map machine
That wouldn't solve my problem
we only have as many SIM cards as we do members of my family
My car has a proper map system, I just can't fucking access it because an option on the order sheet for it wasn't checked
I used to live in Arizona so I guess my night drives were pretty long
I now live in a mid west state so I have a cb radio for fun and as a Smokey and bandit reference
i bet there probably exists some prepaid card with data you can buy off a shelf, as a map phone it's not like i'd use it for anything else other than maps
My parents have access to my bank account and they do check it on occasion
Idk I don't care that much anyway

time to move out
you are needed
What's the Q
Been considering a gt over an rt challenger
Gt
Snow took a toll on my bell
RT is nice. But the safety of AWD and cornering is so much more fun
downgrade from rt to sxt or gt
It also depends on year
I have a 16 RT so an 18gt (the first year) is an upgrade
If you're trading same years or going backwards, you may as well keep rwd
My current bell is a 19 rt
She’s my southern bell (long story for that name)
Should I look into a v6 because I live in a snowy state during the winter
I had an challenger in Arizona so it was perfect there
Financially if you can swing it you may as well get a 19 or newer Charger Scat
Those have 450+ and awd
You get both power and awd
Scat pact.. I love that
My bell with an upgrade-
If you don't have a second vehicle it becomes a question of practicality yes
The big question is if I can get a cheap truck with no problems lol
i don't think i'd trade an rt for awd v6 just because it snows, but i'm also canadian so it's like kinda normal here
Hello cousin!! I’m one of your stateside neighbors
I wouldn't trade because loans are fucking expensive

My most expensive car was 16k
Used ?
Have you owned an srt 8
No
sonic
I love those old challengers but I’m aware of the problems they had
I believe the only way to get 8 cylinders and AWD in a 15-23 charger was a decomm police car and even then they weren't all V8s
$8k 08 cobalt (accident)
$13k 12 Sonic (traded)
$15k Compass (Wrecked)
$15k 14 mustang (traded)
$13k 16 Challenger
My challenger was 15k plus a sublime green paint job lol
Green 
seems very sublime
Nothing, read the name of the emote
I put a lot of money in my bell
Sub lime is nice but I like plum crazy more
She took me from Arizona to the modest mid west
I agree but good luck getting Plum crazy for less than an arm and a leg
Panther pink is the most based Chrysler color but the guys higher up axed it because they're dumb and stupid and I hate them
Panther pink demon..
Based reasoning
A panther pink demon srt is a succubis lmao
How’s a mustang compared to a challenger?
Similar build quality I'd imagine, less room inside and better handling
Aren’t they more similar to euro cars now?
Not as much as people make them out to be
The mustang still understeers on entry and oversteers under throttle, it's still got that American handling lol
But stealing the euro design lol
Eeh idk
Those new rear tail lights are so euro imo
The Camaro in some ways is more euro than the mustang
I love the ZR1
It’s one of the few Camaros I like
Erm acktchually it's the ZL1
My English goes tv static sometimes
ZR1 is the top Corvette trim, easy mistake
Camaro is the smallest of the 3 inside
And the best handling, and the most expensive
I’m smaller so a challenger is nicer for me
My friends who are tall absolutely hate my car
Is demon a trim or special edition
Uh hellcat?
The demon SRT 170 is the highest trim
Limited-production trim/package
It’s the newest one and is limited run
Vette is its own model, the other 2 don't exactly have an equivelant
The highest built-to-order trim was the hellcat jailbreak iirc
So fits the TOP tier list of trims
Theirs are more....top trims
But vettes suck on maintenance lol
The Vette has always been difficult to categorize among American cars
"track car for the public"
It's always kinda stood on its own in its class in America
Like the thinking for the Ferrari gto?
Lol
I guess the car most similar to the Vette is the viper but I don't think there was any clear manufacturer competition between the two
SRT always kinda did its own thing anyway
Ferrari/Lamborghini is a track brand for public pirchase
The viper ACR is the closest thing to a vettes highest trim
The acr is the track trim and idk the vettes highest trim
That would be the ZR1
But as far as track dominance goes, the ACR always blew the ZR1 out of the water
The acr has drip points
Especially in the era of the C6
What’s so special about the c6s?
I like em but never desired them as the maintenance I’ve heard is poor!!
I'm referring to how much more dominant the ACR is on the track compared to the vette
The C6 had LS motors in it and the C6 as a platform holds it value pretty well
It's one of the best sports cars you can get for the money
I love vipers track performance
I love the C6 Vette but fucking leaf springs could only do so much against a big ol wing and canards
A huge fuck off notice me wing lol
Yes, the C6 used leaf springs for rear suspension, for reasons known only to god
That being said, they do get the job done and do so remarkably well, all things considered
The c6 has the Benefit that it’s still sold lol
Not new
Unless the Stellantis higher ups want to make more
I thought it ended production years ago
They stopped building them in 2017, yes
They probably sold one that had collected dust from 2017
If i had the money for it id definitely pick it up
Probably for less then msrp
No cupholders, obviously a deal breaker /s
That's a lie by the way
Anyone driving a viper has to pray that they don’t wrap themselves around a telephone pole
The new vipers have safety features because they have to
Also hot take but id rather a viper than a lfa
90s dodge has it right
Its my favorite v10
No safety no need for .. menial shit like door handles
Listening to them side by side is always fun
Lmao
Because you can just hear the torque in the viper
And you’d have to make sure you don’t lose traction
It may have more than 8 cylinders but it definitely still sounds american
Because 90s vipers didn’t have a single safe feature
Just pure god take the wheel safety
I mean the lfa would appeal to more people in terms of how it sounds but i just love the viper
Apparently they were also insanely dangerous to control; one of the test drivers allegedly insisted that viper owners be required to take a class on how to drive it because it was that bad
And how cool it is was to drive!
Pure skill
Idk many street legal bmw track cars
ACR? Doubtful
Only one i can think of is m4 gts
M6 is one of em
M6 is a race car by design
500 hp v8
But its a street car
As the Germans say.. ITS RACE CAR.. BUT FOR ROAD
Hmm
This design screams touring car rather than supercar
Exactly
Isn’t race car just a term for touring car?
Sorta kinda not really
I don’t follow my car terms
A touring car is a sporty car That's not as dead-set on performance as it is pleasure to drive
For example, the MK4 supra is a touring car
Aston martins too
Some
Except valkyrie and vagner
And the DBS
I mean valhalla
The DBS is a supercar I think
Dbs still is a touring car in my opinion
The DB11 is a touring car, the DBS is it's sportier, spicier cousin
Audi r8 is a race car?
Yea
I love me Audis but I hate the drivers
It's a supercar, but it has been in motorsport since its inception
What classify as super car and sports car aside for engine?
As has the Bentley Continental as I understand it, and that is as "touring car" as touring cars get, though Bentley has always been a sporty brand
A higher caliber of performance overall
And the brand?
Nah
Yea but size wise still cant call it a supercar especially when i look at cars like the revulto and sf90
Likd example id say a demon is a track car
A base C7 Corvette is a sports car, but a C7 Z06 and ZR1 could be argued as a supercar
I'd punch you in the throat
Nah not really, it just isn't a track car
Drag strip car*
It’s a fuck you money car too
They are but on the very low end of the spectrum
The average demon driver has money
But the new zr1 is real talk
The C8 Stingray is riding the line between sports car and supercar
No one daily’s a demon and isn’t making the dosh
The Z06 is undoubtedly a supercar, and the ZR1 is pushing hypercar numbers
I consider all the c8s to be supercars
What’s a muscle car pushing that super car number?
But if we’re talking c7s they’re on the lower end compared to other supercars
The Shelby GT500 and the Camaro ZL1 would be my answer to that
Demon 170?
Drag car
But still pushing super car numbers
And with a drag kit
First corner its over
Am I the only one that's just a bit skeptical that the ZR1 's engine is a little bit too ambitious for its own good
The Z06 motor didn't launch well, and adding two relatively beefy turbos to it, upgrades aside, is asking a lot
It’s like hearing the Supra fan boys talking about how powerful their engines are
Yeah it’s a rare car. But your engine won’t beat a dedicated track car
You’re right
One with complete interior delete
Hell, you don't even get all 1000-something horsepower in the ZR1 until like 3rd or 4th gear
Mclaren w1 got like 1250hp and it was in development for like 10 years
I've never put a ton of trust in McLaren engines
True
Chevy's quality control is at least consistent
What im saying is chevy is coming in a bit too hot
McLaren engines rated at low 700s of hp occasionally make over 800, or they blow at 10K miles
Dont they all use the same engine?
Same displacement
Ish
It's clear they aren't all tuned the same because the P1 has a similar 4 liter displacement but it sounds like an entirely different animal to literally every other McLaren launched this century
Goddamn does the P1 sound good
Ofc the p1 wont share the same engine as the others
I think the 570 and 650 share the same one atleast
Comes from the same company as their other engines (McLaren outsources their engine work to another company, which is something I was surprised to learn)
Hyper car maintence is a chore to
Would’nt be too surprised
They dont have much experience in production cars
They only started with the mo4
What engine brand does McLaren use?
Technically they started with the F1 but the current direction started with the 12C, yes
3.8l v8
Yea thats a special car and jt used a bmw v10
I believe
Idk my super car lore lmao
They're built in collaboration with a company called Ricardo
Bespoke V12 iirc
Ricardo Milo has a car company?
Damn entrepreneur
Maybe? Ionno
My bad
How do you folk feel about arch? Keanu reeves co found company
It varies between 3.8 and 4 liters
The fucking expensive motorcycle company that sells near 1 of 1 motorcycles
They're cool
I've never really cared much for motorcycles
I like how they are making themselves feel unique in the way it’s marketed
I don't like the idea of being exposed to bad drivers without any protection of my own
1 of 1 to your special order
Not many motor vehicles companies do that
It’s not profitable to the every man
Arch is a passion project for Reeves iirc
He does it because he loves motorcycles
If I had the money I’d make my own custom car shop
Most people know Arch from cyberpunk
Make fictional cars a reality
Like I’d LOVE a production Quadra irl
Idk I’m no engineer so
The car that makes the most sense to make IRL is the Herrera Outlaw, apart from the fact that it's rear engined
Or maybe the non-widebody type 66
But the Quadra turbo is a mishmash of euro mid engines
And looks 80s in the interior design
The V-Tech is too wide tbh
vtec
All the car interiors are retrofuturistic as fuck
If I had a car company.. I’d love to recreate a v tech turbo Quadra
Maybe fill the gap in the market for replica cars
Dear god, imagine the cost of the wheels and tires
Have you seen the wheels of pretty much all of the quadras? They're fucking gigantic lmao
Idk how much id price it given how hard the parts to source are
And how maintenance would be
It makes Veyron wheels look like pizza cutters
Pick the motor the in-game sound is based on
Bigger then fucking rear drag radials
In the V-Tech's case that would be an Audi V10
That's probably the easiest one out of any car in the game tbh
The door mechanism would be...challenging
Another reason I think the outlaw would be the easiest, because it's of similar size to concurrent models, has a conventional door mechanism, and doesn't have any fancy window tech
The door moving forward is a fantastic idea, but there's a reason nobody does it IRL
And find out a way to fit an Audi v10
With how wide it is I don't imagine it would be all that difficult
Finding some idiot to make chonky tires is the problem
Indeed
I swear the rear tires would cost a fortune to repair
It would cost a fortune just to make them
Atleast it wouldn’t cost as much as an Bugatti oil change
Audi has a history of supplying their engines for other manufacturers
Like a sort of crate motor, except at a manufacturer level
That’s the easier step but finding tires that wide are better off impossible
I don't think tires that wide exist
They'd have to be custom ordered
How wide are drag radials in those speed drag races
And then tested, and then certified for road use
Like, seriously what the fuck
A video of a fan recreating the car had to use dulies at the back
Just the front tires gotta be at least 350s
Or maybe 300s at least
Side note: idk how the NHTSA would feel about the rear bumper, or lack there of
Idk how legal those lights are lol
Yeah but it's still not as wide as the in-game model, not that I'm surprised they didn't make tires that wide
