[silent oak]

No just black grey and white

[urban pond]

kind of like the Series Gray they did on the ZD6?

[dire shard]

yeah

[urban pond]

that would be pretty cool

[dire shard]

i mean they made it a whole thing with the outback too, i don't know why they don't just make it a regular colour with how popular it is

[urban pond]

White is a good colour on the 2nd gens so thats not an issue

but to add to my point the only really unique special edition we've gotten for this platform is the Hakone Edition for 2025

[dire shard]

as much as i love that green, frankly i wish they came up with something new instead of that

[urban pond]

the Orange 10th Anniversary just used the WRX Orange

the Series Purple BRZ used the new Gaxaly Purple that the WRX tS trim was getting

[dire shard]

what a glorious purple that is

[urban pond]

Trueno Editions were just the Perf Package with Black Vinyl

[urban pond]

its easily the worst purple i've ever seen

like come on you guys could have tried better

and the Series Purple wasnt even Consistent across North America

Canadians got the S.P as the tS trim while the Americans didnt. So Canada got Brembo Brakes and Better Suspension while the Americans didnt

[dire shard]

it's a good subtle colour, if you were expecting something like challenger purple then yeah that's kind of a disappointment but i'd like a more suble purple

[urban pond]

for subtlety its fine, but its not really that good in person the only way you'd be able to tell from a distance is by the Silver Wheels it got

my Dealer is getting a Yellow Edition in soon so ill def check that out

[dire shard]

it's my kinda purple

though most people were definitely expecting more saturated, not just a plum colour

[urban pond]

still funny how theres such a huge price difference between both Yellow edition cars

[dire shard]

doesn't the series yellow zd8 say 黄色 on the back

that's actually pretty funny

better than yuzu edition

[urban pond]

yeah it comes with a Plaque in the inside for Canadians too

[dire shard]

eeee

i like that

quite a lot

only 100? not in the cards i guess 😔

[urban pond]

for some reason Canada calls it a different name

[dire shard]

canada just gets the colour as the name

紫 is just purple

[urban pond]

yeah pretty much

we dont call it the "Colour Edition"

we do it in ✨ Japanese✨

[dire shard]

the edition name is nihongoing to give you a headache

hold up

i didn't look at that picture clearly

they straight up call it kaminari edition

that's really metal

[urban pond]

basically "Thunder" Edition

i just wish the interiors got better treatment

like it just gets yellow stitching

if it was the tS's Blue parts changed to Yellow i would have been mad that i didnt wait

[dire shard]

is it still blue inside

that's kind of weird

[urban pond]

nah its just yellow stitching but the interior is Gray

[dire shard]

ah well

inoffensive

just not particularly special on the inside

[urban pond]

the 1st Gen version was better

[dire shard]

but for this kind of car, i would straight up get the cheapest one i can get anyways unless the colour really speaks to me like the purple one

lmao helldivers car

[urban pond]

Canada is weird now too

[dire shard]

always has been

[urban pond]

a Base BRZ is manual only and the the Auto is the Sport Tech trim

[dire shard]

they did that with the wrx too, didn't they

[urban pond]

so if you want a manual you either have to get a Base or a tS trim

im not too sure about the WRX

[dire shard]

ah there's the weird thing

on the wrx gt, it's auto only but it's the only trim they give you recaros

it's like ???

[mossy sleet]

xw30 and carrera 4s

[kind osprey]

Is xw30 the technical name for a 3rd gen prius?

Yes

[tepid fog]

I also do private jobs sometimes

For friends

[tepid fog]

Pain

[tepid fog]

no

stripping a bolt is pain

[gritty kiln]

Once changed a starter for 300€

For a friend

A normal mechanic would need 1000€+

[tepid fog]

thats really nice

[tepid fog]

depends on the car

[gritty kiln]

Trust me they don't care what car, if they see someone who doesn't know anything about cars it's always in need of a big fix

[loud spade]

On my mom’s car changing the starter took 10 minutes

If a mechanic wanted 1000 for that

[tepid fog]

other cars to change js a start u would have to pull transmission out

[loud spade]

Then I’d do it myself

[tepid fog]

:/

[gritty kiln]

My friend had some weird old bmw

I had to dive hella deep

[loud spade]

Oh hell naw

German cars don’t count

mann i wanna see that video again lol

[thick furnace]

Can anyone help me with hit and run

[tepid fog]

oh fuck that

to change spark plugs u need to take apart the engine

[gritty kiln]

Yes its wild, what were the engineers thinking

[tepid fog]

they were probably thinking to put on long life sparkplugs idk

[gritty kiln]

Scroll up a lil

[tepid fog]

nawl that chat is hella active

[gritty kiln]

Sparkplugs almost never fuck up on there own

It's always some water or another leak that messed them

[gritty kiln]

Fr

[tepid fog]

milage too..

[loud spade]

[gritty kiln]

Yes, but that's regular

Most people mistreat their Japanese cars thinking they're immortal

[tepid fog]

toyota owners..

[gritty kiln]

Yes

[loud spade]

Honda recommends I "check" my sparkplugs every 30k kilometres

Meanwhile theoretically they could live forever

[tepid fog]

30k kinda crazy no?

[loud spade]

Last time I checked there was some debris I believe

[gritty kiln]

No it's not a lot

[mental lion]

They are

[loud spade]

Nah sparkplugs (good ones) go 50k+

if the rest of the engine is fine

[tepid fog]

true

[gritty kiln]

Toyota Yaris? Yes civic? Yes other cars no

[loud spade]

But this shit is running a carburator so some carbon buildup is to be expected

[tepid fog]

has to be

[mental lion]

As a company they would recommend that so they don’t hold any liability

[tepid fog]

also the gdi engines

[mental lion]

Any toyota basically not just the yaris

[gritty kiln]

Anyways guys, I need to go now

[tepid fog]

okay cya

[loud spade]

Corolla

[loud spade]

What are those

[mental lion]

The 2008 camry is an oil burner

[tepid fog]

volks

[loud spade]

Gdi or gti

[tepid fog]

direct injection engine

gdi engines

[loud spade]

Oh

What’s the difference from other engines

Aren’t they all just using fuel injectors that premix air and fuel

[tepid fog]

the injector doesnt spray on the intake valves like other engines do

[loud spade]

[tepid fog]

so carbon build up is always an issue w these

[loud spade]

I didn’t know they did that

[tepid fog]

yes now u do

[loud spade]

It just sprays it into the combustion chamber?

[tepid fog]

yes

[loud spade]

That’s hella weird

I thought all engines were gdi

[tepid fog]

how come u never knew ab it

[loud spade]

From the demonstrations I’ve seen

[tepid fog]

noo

[loud spade]

I guess they never showed the inferior designs

What does pfi stand for

Pre something injection

[tepid fog]

port fuel injection

[loud spade]

Oh

[tepid fog]

the M stands for multi

mutli port fuel injection

[loud spade]

Multi as in, having it on multiple valves

[tepid fog]

the lexus is350 has mpfi

[tepid fog]

no mutli injector port

[loud spade]

Oh damn

So more shit to break

[tepid fog]

yes more pawa

[tepid fog]

lol

more everything

[loud spade]

The petrol we get here is kinda mid

So injectors get clogged easily especially ones that aren’t super high pressure

[tepid fog]

where do guys get petrol from?

[tepid fog]

whats the octane rates?

[loud spade]

95 and 98

[loud spade]

I think we don’t rely on a specific place

[tepid fog]

thsts it?

[loud spade]

Sometimes we it from iraq

[tepid fog]

we have these

[loud spade]

Yeah what else do we need

[tepid fog]

91..

for daily cars

[loud spade]

95 and 98 is fine too

[tepid fog]

98 is so good

its like premium +

[loud spade]

It makes no difference in my experience

[tepid fog]

more expensive..

[loud spade]

Yeah that’s about it

[tepid fog]

they say the higher octane the cleaner it clean ur engine

[loud spade]

I don’t think so

The octane number refers to how much pressure the fuel can sustain before it auto-ignites like diesel does

Which can cause timing issues

[tepid fog]

i think so.. bc for example if you put 91 octane in a car that recommends 95 and above it would have issues and carbon built up

[loud spade]

New cars can deal with it using their computers

On old cars it was a disaster

[tepid fog]

and knocks

[loud spade]

Yeah

[tepid fog]

tru

new cars can handle it

[loud spade]

Yeah but I don’t think it works the other way around

[tepid fog]

some guys would put 98 or higher on thier daily cars thinking it would give it more power but thats js waste of money

[loud spade]

Like putting 98 in a car that recommends 91 isn’t gonna make it run better i think

[loud spade]

💯

[tepid fog]

the higher octane is mainly used when u tuning ur car to increase the timing more bc the higher octane the less it can knock

[loud spade]

91 would be nice to have if it’s cheaper

[tepid fog]

yea will run the same

[tepid fog]

its a bit cheaper yea

not in huge difference

[tepid fog]

like differs in cents smh

[hoary palm]

[dire shard]

older subaru

their older cars with EJ engines basically looked like that, and you'd burn yourself every time you took it out

when their new engine design came out in 2010 the oil filter got relocated to the top so you could access it from the engine bay, best change ever

Honda needing 2 economic booms and Jesus's resurrection to make a rwd sports car that is led by engineers and not suits

Toyota:

[silent oak]

And Lexus

[dire shard]

i deploy my trick card: an entirely separate company that bears the cost of development and production, and all i have to do is give them a direct injector

[pseudo charm]

Honda would probably rather nuke their HQ than make another RWD sports car

[silent oak]

Or anything that isn’t 4 cylinders or a civic based car

CRV is just a slightly bigger civic

[pseudo charm]

Nissan also needs to do something

[silent oak]

They need actual good customers

Not return offenders

[pseudo charm]

Yeah all of their consumers have migrated over to Toyota

[silent oak]

Dodge gets the migrated return offenders

Nissan makes a car that isn’t even good

[pseudo charm]

It’d be interesting to see them give more Nismo trims to their current line ups like the Sentra or something

Sentra Nismo with a detuned VR30 and a 6 speed manual might be interesting

[dire shard]

there's two basic business strategies: either you make a product that's different from everybody else and charge a premium for it, or you make low price products and find ways to lower your cost in order to make up your profit
the big japanese manufacturers are all about doing the second, which is why they each make about nine different cars that all sit on the same platform using the same drivetrain

[silent oak]

Except the Nissan Nismo juke

That deserves a place in hell

[silent oak]

Isn’t the CRV built on a civic chassis?

Is it ok to only have 3 out of 5 lug nuts on my tire?

[jagged sentinel]

For one or two days at most, AND ONLY SHORT DISTANCES AND BELOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS

And never remove multiple lugnuts that were next to each other

But you need to replace those lug nuts ASAP

[jagged sentinel]

Nah fuck a day, get new lugnuts immediately, do not wait

Chevelle looks significantly different to a Camaro of the era

how long does it take a radio to drain a car battery

Considering a light can do it in a few hours, it could be just overnight

Especially if it got cold outside

But I'd hope you mean just sitting in the car, and not leaving the keys in (which i glossed over in my original reading 😅)

But yeah, you'd be fine for hours, and starting the car for just minutes would replish that

[tropic timber]

Ty every time I do it I get like anxious

what the absolute fuck is that cadillac

[kind osprey]

Crazy that the mclaren f1 was out for almost 5 years by then and they never bothered to top speed test it yet lol

[night steeple]

ive seen that cadillac everywhere its in the thumbnails of those top 10 youtube clickbait vids

god i just realized the compression ruined the image

[kind osprey]

$15,000,000 in 1990

Now fucking special Enzo's made after that year are going for $15mil

The Bugatti Royale is a crazy car though that thing is basically a myth of existence

Whoever got that at $15mil hopefully held onto it it'll be a lot more now

[rich patio]

me too but i've always thought it was photoshopped or something

90s were wild

[night steeple]

whats crazy is the mclaren F1 was so "cheap" back then lmao

[kind osprey]

It was the first production car to sell for over $1,000,000 usd. Crazy how now even non limited production supercars from Lamborghini and Ferrari are mrsp'ing close to that now

There are over at least 2 dozen new cars selling for 7 figures now it's crazy compared to even 20 years ago

[kind osprey]

Absolutely ratio'd

Jeremy Clarkson posted a photo of a Model Y and said "that's an awfully ugly car"

[silent oak]

Jeremy is correct here- it’s a shit “car” if you can count EVs as cars

[jagged sentinel]

Well that's a bit dogmatic isn't it

[silent oak]

I’m a petrol head like he is

Gas is juice

[tropic timber]

makes you drive off a cliff

[silent oak]

No that’s listening to curt cobain

[jagged sentinel]

As am I

[silent oak]

EV hater?

[jagged sentinel]

No, I'm not an EV hater

[silent oak]

Damn I am

[pseudo charm]

EVs can be cool

Neutering petrol platforms and converting them to EVs however, is not cool

[silent oak]

I can’t ever see Myself driving an EV

It’s a white machine

[jagged sentinel]

It's not even that they can be cool

For people who don't give a goddamn about cars, EVs are pretty good choices

[pseudo charm]

They are yeah

I’ve been in multiple EVs and they’re very comfortable

I obviously prefer a proper engine but little to no noise from an EV is pretty peaceful

[silent oak]

They aren’t enthusiast vehicles

[pseudo charm]

Definitely not for the most part

[proven thistle]

My car next to my wife’s car.

[silent oak]

So a cross over and crossover?

[proven thistle]

I have the 2102 Hyundai Veloster. Wife has the 2018 Equinox

[jagged sentinel]

They aren't well suited to being enthusiast cars, no

[proven thistle]

Mines a 6 speed manual. Her car is a turbo

[silent oak]

Willll I just want an old challenger.

[jagged sentinel]

[silent oak]

Either 440 or 426

[proven thistle]

Enthusiast cars no, family cars yes. We have an almost four year old boy.

[silent oak]

I’m single and have no future plan for kids, two jobs apartment plus car insurance payments

[proven thistle]

Still owe 14k on her car but bought mine outright.

[silent oak]

I want a manual challenger tho

The pistol shifter

[jagged sentinel]

I believe manuals were more common than autos for sports cars back then so

[proven thistle]

Going to be teaching the family and wife how to drive the manual.

[jagged sentinel]

And no, I will not be hearing out the argument that muscle cars and pony cars aren't sports cars, they are, even if they don't match your perception of a sports car

[proven thistle]

Took me forever to find a cheap fixer upper running Manual vehicle, a lot of ads said it’s a manual, but photo showed auto…..was getting upsetti spaghetti…..lol

[silent oak]

Well sports cars of what era

Corvettes are considered sports cars but how about older ones

[jagged sentinel]

Aren't Hyundais known for being...shit?

[silent oak]

Idk I can’t say I haven’t driven manual in YEARS since left my home town

[silent oak]

you mean hoondai

[jagged sentinel]

The Corvette was always a sports car

[silent oak]

It was the astronauts car

[proven thistle]

Mainly the turbo model Hyundai velosters. Are know for crapping out easily.

[silent oak]

Goddamn happy I own a dodge

I couldnt live without her

[proven thistle]

But this one isn’t a turbo, and if it does crap out I’ll just get a rebuilt motor/trans

[silent oak]

Idk I don’t like hoonday

[proven thistle]

Since I’m teaching multiple people how to drive a stick, just wanted a beater with climate control that could take a beating then after I’m done teaching I’ll fix her up and pretty her up.

[jagged sentinel]

I probably would have gone for an old manual Toyota commuter car from the early 2000s

[silent oak]

Or a Miata

I know it’s foul to hear that coming from the mopar girl

[proven thistle]

Didn’t find any Toyotas for sale in my area, and usually people that have a Miata will keep them until they blow. At least in my area.

[jagged sentinel]

You can't find a Miata for cheap anymore

[silent oak]

On marketplace is a gamble but there

[proven thistle]

That too

Got this Veloster for $2400

[silent oak]

I got my baby red for 15k

[jagged sentinel]

Marketplace is not a place you go for trustworthy or well-taken-care-of cars

At least not to find them consistently

[silent oak]

Idk you can find some cool damn cars

[jagged sentinel]

I didn't say there aren't cool cars on marketplace

[kind osprey]

That was the case up until the mid 90's because automatics were shit

Less speeds and slow as ballz

[silent oak]

Didn’t ferrrai make the first paddle shifter car?

[kind osprey]

Yea, and it was ass

[silent oak]

And it soon became the norm

[jagged sentinel]

First production version, yes

[kind osprey]

Roasted clutches like a mf

They made it for the Sultan of Brunei

[jagged sentinel]

And automated manuals sucked until like the mid 2010s

[silent oak]

I love the smell of burnt metal in my nose

[kind osprey]

They stopped sucking once dual clutches came along

[jagged sentinel]

Indeed

[kind osprey]

The singles were too quirky and usually weren't done correctly

The only single clutch that really was alright was maybe the Aventador

[silent oak]

Weren’t they used in f1 before popularization ?

[kind osprey]

Probably

Everything like that stems from some type of racing

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

[silent oak]

I know a lot of f1 features became normal on a lot of cars

[jagged sentinel]

The first automated manual that Ferrari tried in a road car was derived from F1 tech

[silent oak]

Let me guess it didn’t work well

[jagged sentinel]

It was clunky and finicky, which was the theme of automated manuals up until the mid 2010s as I understand it

[kind osprey]

The production one wasn't horrible, just slow compared to someone seasoned to shifting

[silent oak]

So it’s about as slow as a classic Mopar pistol shifter

[kind osprey]

Speaking of Ferrari a random yellow sf90 passed by while I was working

[silent oak]

I know pistol shifters are Shit

[kind osprey]

I was not expecting that lol

[jagged sentinel]

That depends on the skill of the driver

[silent oak]

POG

I prefer the blue

[jagged sentinel]

But probably not that slow lol

[kind osprey]

Ngl idk why anyone would get the sf90 when the 296 is cheaper

[silent oak]

I know pistol shifters are so rare in cars

[jagged sentinel]

Prolly the two extra cylinders I'd imagine

[silent oak]

Presitge

[kind osprey]

There is absolutely nothing prestigious about that over engineering hunk of understeer

😭

[silent oak]

It’s Ferrari

[kind osprey]

So is a 296

[jagged sentinel]

I'd personally choose an SF90 over the 296

[kind osprey]

Can't relate

[silent oak]

Idk I want an old Ferrari gto

The 70s one

[jagged sentinel]

I get that Ferrari is performance first but I wouldn't buy no Ferrari with a V6

[kind osprey]

The 296 looks like an older 250gto lm, and has the Maserati v6 in it which has really sick valve technology

[silent oak]

The 288 gto is beauty

[jagged sentinel]

I also like how the SF90 looks over the 296

[silent oak]

It’s curvy asf

[jagged sentinel]

Ferrari styling is always hit or miss to me, and the 296 is a miss

[kind osprey]

The 288gto is funny because to anyone who doesn't know cars they probably think it is a $35000 308 mondial you can buy in some random lot in New Jersey

[jagged sentinel]

Isn't it a homologation special

[kind osprey]

I agree modern Ferrari has been dropping the ball with designs but out of all of them that have came out the 296 is the only single one that has a hint of Ferrari brand heritage

The sf90 looks like a Toyota in the front and I can't unsee it

[kind osprey]

Probably

Any cool car we get as a road vehicle seems to be due to that so tha k god they exist

[jagged sentinel]

Homologation specials are always the coolest cars

[silent oak]

The puegot 208t16

The Lancia homologation models

[kind osprey]

I miss good Lancia

They are like Mitsubishi

[silent oak]

As opposed to bad lancia( always )

[kind osprey]

They lost all aura

[jagged sentinel]

Lancia Delta S4, Ford RS200, Merc 190E Evo II, Plymouth Superbird, Boss 429, 288 GTO, 911 Strassenversion, Merc CLK GTR...

[silent oak]

Mitsuboshi

[silent oak]

The boss 429?

[kind osprey]

Mitsubishi doesn't gaf about car anymore it is just a hobby for them

[silent oak]

Wasn’t that NASCAR homologation

[kind osprey]

It accounts for little sale volume overall

They got their ac units to worry about

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, I was listing homologation specials

[silent oak]

And the price of a good evo skyrocketed

[jagged sentinel]

Fortunately Mitsubishi still makes cool shit, just not cars

[kind osprey]

They've been expensive for a while now, you can't find a 5-9th gen evo unmodified in good condition for under $30k

Low miles 40k

[silent oak]

You mean a none riced model

[jagged sentinel]

You mean unmolested

[silent oak]

Eh Same term

[jagged sentinel]

I've never really cared much for Evos

Same with WRXs

[silent oak]

Wrx have rally prestige

[jagged sentinel]

So do Evos

[silent oak]

More than Mitsuboshi

God lord I want a homologation model wrx

[jagged sentinel]

Good luck with that

[kind osprey]

Evos are great but I couldn't justify spending $35k-$45k on a 20-30 year old sedan

If I'm gonna buy an old car I want it to be balls to the wall impractical and exotic

Like a Lotus or something

[jagged sentinel]

If I had to pick between the two I'd pick the Evo, specifically either the Evo 6 or Evo 9

[kind osprey]

Sti 209 is the closest you'll get probably

They are $85000

[silent oak]

You have no idea how much I’d pay for a homologation model wrx

[jagged sentinel]

Before dealership mark-up I'd imagine

[kind osprey]

They aren't new

[jagged sentinel]

Ik

[kind osprey]

They settled at around 80-90k

I forgot what they were new msrp

Probably like $70k

That is the ultimate modern subaru, saying modern because the 22b exists

And that is the unicorn

[silent oak]

I want the 90s 2000s model from every rally game / show

[jagged sentinel]

Why do you want one so badly

[silent oak]

I’m a rally car fan

[kind osprey]

You could just buy one and make it look like that yourself. It'll be a fortune but you could definitely do it

[silent oak]

I have a huge soft spot for the JDM only model

[jagged sentinel]

Less of a fortune than buying one proper, though

[kind osprey]

Just swap suspension, rims, some body panels, wrap it

[kind osprey]

That's if a real one exists

[jagged sentinel]

Touché

[kind osprey]

I'm talking like making a rally car of a model that didn't have a street version necessarily

[jagged sentinel]

Ah

[silent oak]

Rally Mustang!!!

[kind osprey]

Maybe a newer Gen that never raced

[silent oak]

RALLY MUSTANG

[jagged sentinel]

Does the WRC still require homologation

[kind osprey]

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been done yet

[silent oak]

I’m sure they do

[kind osprey]

Not like the mach e one they got

But like a mustang mustang

[silent oak]

Like nascar has their new gen mustang

[kind osprey]

Dodge would have probably sold more ev challengers if they made it a 4 door crossover bubble car

Which is a sad reality

[silent oak]

And didn’t market it as a charger

[jagged sentinel]

NASCAR doesn't do homologation

[silent oak]

Fuck Carlos Tavares

He stopped Dodge from selling the challenger for some heritage charger

[jagged sentinel]

NASCAR racecars are in-house, proprietary designs, not based on road-going models, in case you're so blind you can't tell the difference

[silent oak]

Im talking old nascar when they did have the Boss429 and the Plymouth super bird

[jagged sentinel]

Well yeah but they haven't done it anymore, not since the 80s

[silent oak]

Boring but I love nascar

It’s the redneck sport that gets me all red neck

[jagged sentinel]

The upside of that is that a NASCAR cup car is probably the safest car in motorsport

[silent oak]

True- it’s all body panels and simple parts

The drivers are crazy

[jagged sentinel]

Body panels are plastic

[jagged sentinel]

Correction: mix of carbon fiber and kevlar

[silent oak]

And the hood is barely attached by hooks

[jagged sentinel]

Point still stands though, it's not the body panels that make them so safe

[silent oak]

It’s the reinforced cage

[jagged sentinel]

Nobody has died in a NASCAR stock car since Dale Earnhardt

[silent oak]

The crackhead era I call it

[jagged sentinel]

And he didn't necessarily die from anything related to the cars, which were already pretty tough

[silent oak]

And drivers wear fire resistant suits too

[jagged sentinel]

He died from a basilar skull fracture, which is rather common in motorsport fatalities and is what the HANS device is designed to prevent

His death also led to the SAFER barrier system, which is another key safety feature in NASCAR

[silent oak]

I haven’t been in a nascar like vehicle in person but I’ve seen em

I’ve been to a few games in FL

[jagged sentinel]

It's a shame how many rules of today are written in blood

But there's no better way to display the need for those rules than for someone to die because they weren't in place, as morbid as that is to say

[silent oak]

Same with group b, a lot of the rules in place were made cuz tragedy on the course

[jagged sentinel]

Group B didn't really have rules

[silent oak]

Like high power low weight cars going fuck off fast and hitting people

[jagged sentinel]

It was canned because of a series of crashes

[jagged sentinel]

Modern WRC cars are faster than group B cars

[silent oak]

Weren’t half the cars hitting more than 300hp and weighing less

I forget how much the rally t16 weighed

[silent oak]

Modern car will always be faster correct a

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, the top class models were eclipsing 400

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, it's how a Chevy cobalt SS has a faster laptime around the nurburgring than an R34 GTR

No, that's not right

[silent oak]

Or a 90s Supras lap time being beat by a gr86

Please be true

[jagged sentinel]

I mixed the cobalt up with something else

[silent oak]

I hate Supra kids

God damn I’m a spiteful woman

[jagged sentinel]

There is no official laptime for the mk4 supra

The MK4 wasn't a track car anyway

[silent oak]

So the 911 gt3 rs is track+ street car?

What’s the point a street car becomes a track car and stays street legal

[jagged sentinel]

It's a track car for the road

The MK4 supra was never meant to be tracked, it's a grand tourer

[silent oak]

“It’s ze track car fir ze road!” Said by crazy Porsche engineers

[pseudo charm]

It’s still faster than the R32 iirc

[jagged sentinel]

It was big and comfy, but also powerful for the time

[silent oak]

Also spaceship interior

[jagged sentinel]

It may have been the R32 that it was faster than

[silent oak]

I love the Supras interior

[silent oak]

The r32 is a better looking model then the r34

It’s curvy, it’s beauty

[jagged sentinel]

The mk4 supra was also pretty expensive

[silent oak]

How much?

I can put in yen

[pseudo charm]

I think it was like $40K when it came out

So probably $70K+ today

[silent oak]

2.7 mill yen to 10 mill yen according to Google ai

[jagged sentinel]

The turbo model would have started at around 70k in today's money

Which is actually more than the mk5 supra, funny enough

[pseudo charm]

From what I remember the Mk4 was touted as a failure and wasn’t all too liked when it first came out

[silent oak]

Blame fast & furious

[pseudo charm]

Only once we hit the 2010s did people start wanting them

[jagged sentinel]

It was confused about what it wanted to be

[silent oak]

They jacked up car prices

[pseudo charm]

Probably yeah

[silent oak]

EVEN MY BELOVED CHARGER

FUCK EM

[jagged sentinel]

The supra wasn't popularized through pop culture until the 2000s

It was just really expensive for a Japanese sports car

[silent oak]

And now it’s worth quarter mil

[jagged sentinel]

And wasn't sure if it wanted to be a grant touring car or a sports car

[silent oak]

In yen it could near 3 million yen

[jagged sentinel]

I'd lowk consider dailying one, if I had one anyway

[silent oak]

Would it be safe to want to daily a r32?

I see em on bring a trailer a lot

[jagged sentinel]

Ionno

[silent oak]

I browse as if I can afford it

[jagged sentinel]

It's safe to want to daily any car

[silent oak]

Keep in mind I paid 15k in cash for my challenger

I’m not smart financially

[jagged sentinel]

But the RB26 isn't the most reliable thing out there from what I remember

[silent oak]

I mean does it matter if you like the car

[jagged sentinel]

If you want it to be a daily 100% yes it should be reliable lol

[silent oak]

I know 2016 model challengers have SO many problems but I love em

[silent oak]

Than baby it no?

[jagged sentinel]

Oh like you'd baby an RB26

[silent oak]

Don’t overly redline and keep it on top shape

I barely baby my hemi

I drive her in snow

Rain,

What ever the black hills bring

[pseudo charm]

Redline that thing like it’s a K24

[silent oak]

Do you want me to get a new hemi?

I can’t throw my red around like that

She heavy

[kind osprey]

$15k doesn't sound too expensive for a daily car

Only not smart thing about that financially would be gas and insurance

[silent oak]

It’s the Arizona gas money cheap

[kind osprey]

Ah

Insurance here is a bitch

[silent oak]

I moved to even cheaper Midwest

[kind osprey]

My integra is an arm and a leg and that is just common traffic

I couldn't imagine a hellcat corvette or m3/m4

[silent oak]

I want an integra..

[kind osprey]

$700 a month easy

[silent oak]

It was one of my gal pals favorite cars over in Japan

[kind osprey]

It is indeed a sick car

I construction site I was on had a late 90's one

Just a regular 2 door

[silent oak]

I want the Japanese import Honda type r one

[kind osprey]

Sounds like money lol

They are genuinely overpriced

[silent oak]

I love 2 door car!

I’ve been looking at A Miata for my secondary car

[kind osprey]

A new integra 2 door would be pretty interesting but Honda isn't in the mood to make fun things a reality

[silent oak]

I know stupid for an mostly mopar girl to like the Miata

[kind osprey]

You put the Mopar engine in the miata

Modern problems require modern solutions

[silent oak]

Or put a dodge dart engine in that

Srt4

[jagged sentinel]

I'd question your sanity as a car person if you didn't like the miata

Or at the very least respect or acknowledge it

[silent oak]

Btw it got buffed in motorfest

It’s a top performing s1 car

[silent oak]

I like the pop up and none pop up model idc really

[jagged sentinel]

[silent oak]

Which Miata mx5 90s or modern

[dire shard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36whvegFIqg

[silent oak]

Jdm model that. Sooo cool!

[kind osprey]

Miata is too zoomer and trendy, as someone born in the wrong generation, I only interact with MG fans

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[silent oak]

Is the Supra kid trend dead yet

[kind osprey]

Old miata

[silent oak]

Le 70s loook

[jagged sentinel]

How were the crank starters back then, Grandpa

[silent oak]

Crank crank

[kind osprey]

Saw some lad break his ankle on one

I have Cadillac key start on my 1916 model

So I'm good

[jagged sentinel]

I'd believe that

[kind osprey]

Too bad I can't drink with all this prohibition shit going on

Mclaren 765lt

Wtf

[silent oak]

He must be an investment banker

[grave kraken]

so this channel is about cars. i thought this channel was about buses and train routes 😭

[pseudo charm]

It can be ‼️

[silent oak]

Eh buses in the America’s are dogshit

[tawny wind]

man we all have that one mf who supports bmw no matter what
as an audi guy i told him an rs7 would wipe away the m series and he got so fkn ragebaited lmfao

[jagged sentinel]

It's about any transportation, not just cars

[pseudo charm]

BMWs are cool yeah too bad they get glazed to all hell and their fans are unbearable

Will claim the G80 is the greatest car of all time when Nissan literally did what the G80 is doing now but 20 years ago with the R35

[jagged sentinel]

Did what exactly

[pseudo charm]

In terms of specs and performance

Weigh about the same, make about the same power, get pretty much the same lap times, etc

Even rn they’re priced about the same. In the 80-100K range depending on year and mileage

[tawny wind]

i know right?

i bet that mf would have a full ubermacht garage if he played gta online

[silent oak]

I’d take a corvette over an m series

[dire shard]

these are such different cars, the hell?

looks aside, the g80 is one of the few remaining manual rwd performance sedans you can - and it's a brilliant car

comparing to the c8 corvette, which dropped the manual from the c7, or to the r35, which never had a manual and is awd, is asinine

you buy these cars for different purposes

i don't claim that the performance is outstanding or that there isn't better, (but seeing how we're comparing a sedan from 2023 to a sports coupe from 2007, i think it's certainly there) but it should be a baseline acknowledged fact that somebody buying today's m3 is probably not cross-shopping auto-only coupes

[silent oak]

@dire shard I’m not much a bmw fan outside the obvious classics they have, the m series, plus I’m more knowledgeable about my dear corvettes

[dire shard]

yea ok ur america-pilled 🤠 konnichihowdy what the hell is a kilometre

[silent oak]

You’re asking the mopar girl from east Asia ..

I like Mercedes alot

I like the huge ego car

Not that bmw is any better

[pseudo charm]

The M3 CS is pretty much an R35

Both AWD and make similar power while weighing about the same while outputting similar lap times

M3 is a sedan sure but there’s also the M4

I agree though that the Corvette is a much different car

[silent oak]

Hmm both performance cars

[pseudo charm]

They’re both performance cars yeah but the C8 corvette is an entirely different platform compared to the G80 M3/M4 since it’s a mid engine V8.
The C6 and C7 share a front engine layout but they weigh vastly different and drive completely different.

But I just never understood the performance hype over the G80/G82 since the lap times and performance stats of the car are pretty much carbon copies of what the R35 did almost 20 years ago

And that’s comparing the CS to the earliest model R35 before it got all the power increases over the years

[jagged sentinel]

Ironically the C7 has a better weight distribution than the C8 does

On paper anyway

[urban pond]

To be fair the M cars are more inline with luxury as well as performance though

They’re closely the same in terms of performance really with the R35 in terms of weight and power

[kind osprey]

Yea for some odd reason 50/50 distribution is easier on front mid engine cars

Regular mid engines like your typically poster supercar are always like 46 54 or 43 57 etc

[silent oak]

Does the c7 preform better than the c8 ?

[jagged sentinel]

Probably not, because there's a lot more to a performance car than weight distribution

[silent oak]

The c7 has the front end I like

I love it

[jagged sentinel]

I like the look of the C6 over the C7 but tbh I'd probably buy a C7

Unless a C6 ZR1 is on the table, then I'm probably going with that

[silent oak]

The c8 rear end is sexy

I love how Ferrari coded it is

[pseudo charm]

I like the C7 more in terms of looks

[latent sandal]

yo i was gonna get a 2019 M3 X-Drive for 29000 clean title is that good in this market 59k miles

[swift olive]

My car engine has left the chat officially

[silent oak]

Rip

[silent oak]

Idk I’m not the person to say, not the most smart gal

[pseudo charm]

If you’re getting one for $29K at 59K miles then something is most definitely catastrophically wrong with it

Or whoever is selling it is just clueless and you might be extremely lucky

[swift olive]

RIP indeed

Time to get something better and stronger

[silent oak]

Oh it’s a Mercedes were you expecting that

[swift olive]

318k

[silent oak]

I’m expecting my rt to blow before hitting 400k

[swift olive]

Yeah this model has some bad engine issues

I mean w204

[silent oak]

Get an c63

Those are cool

[swift olive]

I'm looking for C63 2014

[silent oak]

The coupe?

[swift olive]

Coupe or 4 doors both are good

[silent oak]

I need 2 door cars only

Mustang, Camaro, Dodge Dakota

[swift olive]

The Black Series w204 2012 is also an option

But it's expensive asf
