And that resulted in, apparently, around a thousand horsepower

#

From a 1.8 liter

#

IN THE FUCKING 1980S

#

This was in a lab, though. the competition car made 480 horsepower, which is still ridiculous

#

That's 5 bar btw

if you ever feel stupid, remember that nissan just came out with the armada nismo

#

NISMO

silent oak
#

Nissan Just makes bad decisions when producing cars

jagged sentinel
#

I would say Nissan is going to run themselves into the ground but they're already there and are currently digging

silent oak
#

Fiat just sucks

dire shard
#

who tf is buying an armada nismo
literally just GCC/ME, except that for the price you pay for basically red trim, an exhaust, and 35 horsepower, you can get a lower trim armada and make the same mods for half the price

#

or better yet buy a real patrol

#

whomst

#

literally who

jagged sentinel

Just get a fucking Infiniti at that point

"oh no we're in the red what do we do"
"i know, we'll sell another 80k car that gets marked up 20k in dealerships except this time it's gonna be a massive suv"

Did they think that a crossover suv was a good idea?

Should’ve tried it with the maxima

jagged sentinel
silent oak
dire shard
#

looks massive to me

mental lion
#

Its a tahoe sized suv for reference

silent oak
#

Looks like a pug

jagged sentinel
#

It's marketed and sold as a fullsize SUV and is the same size as other full-size SUVs

dire shard
#

it's a patrol except they ruined how it looks

silent oak
#

So it’s the size of a Tahoe.. but all the bad parts of a fucking Nissan truck/ suv

Except it’s official this time

Don’t Honda make that shitty ridge line?

jagged sentinel
#

All my homies hate the Honda Ridgeline

silent oak

The ridge line is like “Honda! We need a truck for our American market. The Tacoma exists for our competitors”

Says the man who drives a maverick

(that's me)

#

What’s wrong with it? It’s sick

It's an SUV masquerading as a truck

#

Oh god., that fucking standard Honda front end with that body god

mental lion
mental lion
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

I mean the fact is if it doesn't have a body on frame chassis, it isn't a truck, simple as that

mental lion
#

Also that front end it way too soft looking for a truck

#

Reminds me of the x class

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

It's not a truckFUGLYdoggo

jagged sentinel
dire shard
#

the ridgeline fits a part of the market where somebody might want a pickup bed but doesn't need a ferd f-teen thousand to compensate for their one-incher
it doesn't look good and isn't a real truck sure, but there's a lot of people who would honestly be better served driving a ridgeline than in a lifted squatted fucking f-9000 aiming highbeams down my back window

Fucking honda tries to mimic toyota in everyway

silent oak
#

The tundra / Tacoma / 4 runner are great

jagged sentinel

Toyota is the best overall car maker when you think about it

#

They make different cars for every region

#

And their cars adapt to that specific region

I kinda wanted to pull the trigger on a tundra

Second lap for my driving instructor friend in my Hellcat. He shaved another 30 seconds off his previous lap. Had a Porsche 911 Turbo (we think) to chase around the 'Ring. Was a brutal ride!

Horsepower inflation 🙁

silent oak
#

I’m happy with a 4 door Cadillac, rather then a high hp daily

pseudo charm
#

Yeah a lot of people don’t realize that anything above like 700-800 hp just isn’t fun for a daily driver.

#

Realistically you’ll be stuck at like 2-3K RPM at a shit powerband due to traffic

silent oak
#

A challenger with 375 hp as a daily is cool, but not efficient

#

Idc it’s a car I like

#

Nothing changes my stance on that but if I were to get another car I’d be something like a Cadillac

pseudo charm
#

Cadillacs are cool for sure

#

Out of all the American V8 platforms, Cadillac CT-5s and Corvettes are my favorite

silent oak
#

I can’t see myself in a dreaded Altima tho

#

That’s bottom of the barrel car

Newer Altimas seem alright but yeah older Altimas were not it

#

Doesn’t help that most people who drive them are genuine dangers to society

Girl I have a good credit score

I don’t need an Altima

that might be an unpopular opinion

i think people are happier with the new one

overall, honda's design language has improved in 202-whenever the new accord, civic, and crv got their new designs

the previous with all the chrome and stuff, most people weren't a fan

Compare that to the ‘20 model

congratulations, you have ruined your rear space by tearing up the interior and installing a roll cage, you are halfway there to a gt3rs competitor

silent oak
#

I want to make the car lose 90% of its value

dire shard
#

the value isn't lost, it was just transferred from resale value to performance value 😎

dire shard
#

yeah, the overpriced parts are part of the performance value aka extra lift because you bought it from temu downforce that you're never gonna use because you don't track

polar osprey
dire shard
#

you mean aside from the part where they've convinced the world that they sell like twenty cars when in reality they sell like six with different trim levels?

#

dunno, depends on how far you buy into that

mental lion
#

Nah I meant the last part about the motor and transmission. They’re a to b cars so who cares

dire shard
#

precisely because they're a to b cars is why people should care

#

the difference in economy between having five gears and eight gears is significant

#

not a performance thing, more an overdrive thing

mental lion
#

Yeah non hybrid Toyotas drinks petrol

#

They’re less economic than whatever is in that segment

#

Unless you get the hybrid then it beats it

#

And the price difference between hybrids and non hybrids is like a $1k

dire shard
#

moreover, toyota's trend of giving you ageing technology should be a serious consideration on whether you should buy into their cars or not

#

sticking a ten year old five gear transmission into their 4runner until like 2022 is a funny gamer move for sure, but all that really impacts is your fuel economy

#

however, toyota installing rear drums on a lot of their cars up until like 2015? that's a safety feature that they skimped on

dire shard
#

consumer cars from like the 90's have had rear discs, toyota has been stuffing rear drums until last decade

mental lion
#

That’s gotta be the lowest end car they sell

dire shard
#

the corolla still had them in like 2016

#

hell, i was only thinking about the corolla

#

you know what's funny

#

what do you think they put on the tundra in 2023

mental lion
#

Yeah they used it in the tacoma and tundra

#

You can tell toyata is runned by old guys who refuse change sometimes

dire shard
#

toyota is risk adverse and hate spending money, that's why they build like twenty different cars on three platforms, that's why their sports cars are on platforms developed by other manufacturers

mental lion
#

It’s a miracle how they built the lfa with this mindset

#

And it didn’t pay off for them

dire shard
#

like how many extra dollars does it cost to install rear discs in 2023, or even 2015
you could argue that most consumer cars don't see a majority of their wear on the rear brakes because inherent weight distribution of ff cars and weight transfer on braking puts most of the wear on the front brakes, but that's no reason to skimp on the rears when it doesn't cost that much more, let alone the improved quality of life of discs not screeching as much or releasing less brake dust than drums

mental lion
#

When you’re building a thousands of cars it adds up to millions which they rather have in their pockets

#

Still no excuse

dire shard
#

when every other competitor manufacturer has moved on to discs? couldn't be enough

#

toyota is living off of people talking about their reliability and ignoring the fact that the technology is from the 60s

#

hell price-wise, i'm pretty sure once you get over the initial cost of the machines, there's less complexity to machine a disc and pads than there is to assemble a drum, not to mention that when discs fail they warp and become less effective, meanwhile when drums fail they explode and give you complete brake failure...

#

Thoughts about the Renault 5 EV?

dire shard
#

the fact that it's an EV aside, i'm not on board with the styling

#

there's a point of design where the retro-modern styling is less retro-modern and more modern-in-a-retro-shape and it's vile

#

the sort of look where it appears as if they tried to shove as much modern looking things into the old body style as possible

#

just not a good look

#

decent retro-modern styling to my eye are cars like alpine's a110 or the s197 mustang (that one's controversial)

loud spade
#

Besides, discs often make more noise than drums, and also the brake dust from discs ends up all over your rims unlike drums

#

I mean I get your point that they’re cheaping out but that’s what they do

#

People driving toyotas don’t care lol

#

Probably don’t even know the difference between drum and disc

dire shard
# loud spade What’s safer about rear discs

the major deliberation you should make about brake type is their heat dissipation, and the way they fail
discs dissipate heat better and warp (e: bad term) wear unevenly, causing a wobble when they fail
drums are enclosed and retain heat, and shatter when they fail
between less effective brakes and no brakes, i know what i'm choosing

dire shard
#

because the alternative is letting it cake up all inside your brake drum and that's just more abbrasive particulates damaging your brake components

#

just like, wash it off hmmm

dire shard
# loud spade People driving toyotas don’t care lol

there's a good reason they decided to cut the cost there, and it's probably because rear brakes are very lightly worn by a regular consumer on a regular basis as a result of where the weight is placed (ff, brake weight transfer, driver and passenger weight)
eeeexcept for those cases when they do actually need it, in which case, that's safety equipment that you probably wanted in your car...

#

and at the end of the day, probably didn't save a whole lot of money to skimp on given how they've gone and replaced them now on a lot of their cars such as the aforementioned 2024 tacoma anyways

#

i mean on a personal note, if i were cross shopping cars and comparing them, i don't feel like i could buy a brand new car with drums after looking at every one of its competitors running discs

dire shard
#

#

i like some of toyota's cars, but noticing these compromises has me thinking what else they skimp on in their lower entry cars

The grille is enough to tell it's a V6 most of the time, though of course some oddball could be swapping it out too. Can't really fake the engine sound tho.
