transportation

[coral ingot]

suits him well

[kind osprey]

He’s one of the few people who were allowed to own a military h1

And he has it running bio fuel

[coral ingot]

ah I didnt really know that

[icy kelp]

Still better than a Mustang's gas mileage tbf

[kind osprey]

Mustangs aren’t filing cabinets they do fine in a daily driving scenario

[icy kelp]

It's hilarious how much it chugs gas

Meh

[jagged sentinel]

Arnold schwarzenegger liked the humvee so much he pursued a way to make a street version somehow

I can't make this shit up

[coral ingot]

US army ground vehicles doesnt care about fuel efficiency one bit probably lmao

[jagged sentinel]

Military variants probably don't even pass emissions lol

[coral ingot]

considering M1 abrams has a turbine engine inside

[icy kelp]

Hell, they're using all that gas to get more oil for gas anyways by invading countries

[kind osprey]

Yea it’s much much easier to armor plate something square and boxy

[coral ingot]

true lol

[kind osprey]

An armored Lincoln continental was $250,000 while an armored Mercedes s class was pushing a million

Curvy car expensive car

[jagged sentinel]

Hummer: b r i k

[icy kelp]

Why would anyone want a Armored Mercedes

It just sounds stupid tbh

[kind osprey]

Why wouldn’t you want an armored Mercedes

[coral ingot]

why would anyone want an armored lincoln

Lincoln limos are fine

[jagged sentinel]

German stuff is good

[icy kelp]

Mercedes is a Performance Brand

[kind osprey]

Until the maintenance bill comes in, other than that they are great

[jagged sentinel]

@icy kelp no it isn't

[kind osprey]

No they aren’t

Mercedes is an everything brand

[icy kelp]

They are?

[jagged sentinel]

M-AMG is their performance subsidy

[icy kelp]

Right, i forgot about Mercedes-Benz-AMG and all that shit

[kind osprey]

They make vans, sedans, pickup trucks, mail trucks, super cars, hypercars, SUV’s, crossovers, electric cars

[coral ingot]

also boats

[kind osprey]

Maybach and amg are the branches of Mercedes

[icy kelp]

Don't know about Hypercars

[kind osprey]

Mercedes makes a hypercar

[coral ingot]

amg project one

[kind osprey]

The amg one

[jagged sentinel]

Mercades AMG and Mercades Benz are technically different, but it's kinda like shelby and ford nowadays, technically they're separate but in reality one owns the other

[icy kelp]

It has a concept

[kind osprey]

It’s a production vehicle

[coral ingot]

its pre ordered by customers already

[icy kelp]

I wouldn't rely on it too much if it's their first-ever hypercar tbh

Who knows what mistake they'll do this time

[kind osprey]

Amg was it’s own tuning company and over time did so much business with Mercedes that they got bought out

And now exclusively to Mercedes

[coral ingot]

considering their racing dominance and technicality, I would rely it more than many other hypercar brands for sure lol

[jagged sentinel]

Like ford and Shelby

[coral ingot]

every time I hear shelby

[kind osprey]

Well it isn’t Mercedes first ultra fast pinnacle car

[coral ingot]

I want to say it

[kind osprey]

Mercedes isn’t new to anything they’ve been doing this since 1885

[icy kelp]

Previous cars, they failed the launch control system if you had the engine already running for a while, the brakes would rarely lock up and the ABS would not work along with some essentials for performance

[jagged sentinel]

You don't want the brakes to lock up...

[coral ingot]

is project one road legal btw?

[kind osprey]

Shelby partnership fell out but became a thing against in like 2005-2006

[coral ingot]

I thought it was a track car

[kind osprey]

Cosworth did a shit ton of fords between then

[coral ingot]

didnt research it much after that

[kind osprey]

It’s road legal

[coral ingot]

oh cool

[icy kelp]

That's the point, sometimes it would lock up, but not that often

It's rare to happen

[coral ingot]

I can hear this picture lmao

[jagged sentinel]

RTR used to be independent, now it has it's own place in Ford

[icy kelp]

But if you daily drive it and use the brakes a lot, you're kinda increasing the chances of it happening

[jagged sentinel]

I mean hell, they're the ones who designed the hoonicorn as we see it

[kind osprey]

The SLR was a great trio car from Mercedes

Also Mclaren helped a bit

[jagged sentinel]

No shit shirlock

[kind osprey]

The slr the carrera gt and the enzo were the big three back in the day

[icy kelp]

And if you were going to take it on to the track, oy pizdec, those brakes would for sure lock up at some point, unlike other cars

[kind osprey]

Carbon ceramic brakes are like from another planet

[coral ingot]

also SLR Stirling Moss, way before SP2/Elva/V12 speedster etc

[kind osprey]

Zero fade

[blissful lagoon]

70s truck go brrt

[jagged sentinel]

Most people don't like them because of the sound they make

[kind osprey]

Idc if they sing opera they are beautiful

The senna ones are insane

[jagged sentinel]

They don't sing opera tho

[kind osprey]

They take 7 months to cure

[jagged sentinel]

Regera brakes are insane

[kind osprey]

Anything Koenigsegg makes in house is a miracle

[jagged sentinel]

Touché

[kind osprey]

Those rims are lighter than most bike wheels

Hallow carbon fiber

[icy kelp]

What about Koenigsegg Gemera?

First car to break the 500 kph barrier

[kind osprey]

I can’t wait to see that one

[icy kelp]

And it's a family car

[kind osprey]

No that’s the Jesko

[icy kelp]

Wait what-

[kind osprey]

The gemera goes 250mph

Not 300

[icy kelp]

lemme google this shit

[kind osprey]

It’s a fat four seater you don’t need to google it lol

It’ll give you the same answer

[icy kelp]

Oh well

Internet's shiet anyways

[jagged sentinel]

The fact that Koenigsegg has pushed a small-block V8 to 300 mph is insane

[kind osprey]

The regular downforce Jesko will probably go like 285-295mph and the absolute will go upwards of 310-330

The absolute only has I believe one hundred pounds of downforce

Don’t quote me though

[jagged sentinel]

I don't believe that for a second

[kind osprey]

Sorry typo

[jagged sentinel]

That's better xd

[kind osprey]

My internet went out I’m on my tiny phone

[icy kelp]

I'm trying to think of that one supercar that has a couple of tons of downforce

I can't remember the name

[kind osprey]

One pound of downforce that thing would feel like ice xD

@icy kelp there are a few

You are probably thinking of the senna

[icy kelp]

It's a Aston Martin

[jagged sentinel]

Senna's wing generates over half it's own weight in downforce

If I were to guess, it'd be the Vulcan

[kind osprey]

Valkyrie or Vulcan?

[icy kelp]

Vulcan

Yh

Can't believe i forgot the name

[kind osprey]

Probably the Valkyrie the way it’s shaped I believe those numbers

The vulcan just looked like an updated 077

[icy kelp]

I should probably go to sleep considering this alcohol is starting to hit me

I'll brb

[jagged sentinel]

Vulcan is just shaped like a bullet

[jagged sentinel]

The One-77?

[kind osprey]

Mhm

I love that thing

[jagged sentinel]

I love it to pieces too, but the Vulcan doesn't remind me much of it tbh

Vulcan is more tame in terms of body shape

[kind osprey]

It’s not that they look too much alike but more so it is their new front engine limited hypercar of the decade

[jagged sentinel]

Vulcan is a track car...

[kind osprey]

Some are street conversions

[jagged sentinel]

They weren't from the factory

[kind osprey]

There is also the amr which is an even cooler vulcan

I think at least one vulcan was created the be street compliant

If not a few but at least one

From factory

[jagged sentinel]

I thought it was post-production conversion

I might be thinking of the wrong Vulcan

[kind osprey]

Some might be, I would do that if I had the money lol

You probably just need emissions and headlights

Considering how low production they are you can get away with a lot

They aren’t held to the same standards as say a Camry

There is a company that takes the Mclaren p1 gtr street legal, on paper in makes no sense but that thing is insane

[jagged sentinel]

Because it's a track car first and a road car second, so expecting it to have airbags or obstacle detection would be unfair

[kind osprey]

One thing that couldn’t be made legal is probably the sesto elemento because that thing doesn’t even have a dashboard

Lol

[jagged sentinel]

it didn't?

Well, all it really needs is an essential instrument cluster

RPM, speedometer, and indicator light... Indicators are musts

[kind osprey]

Yea it look sick lemme see if I can find a good picture of the inside

[icy kelp]

Alright, i've returned

[icy kelp]

What'd i miss?

[kind osprey]

No dashboard elemento

[icy kelp]

Uh?

[kind osprey]

Other than that not much

[icy kelp]

Built-in... baby carriers?

(Sarcasm if you haven't noticed)

[kind osprey]

If the baby seeks death then yea they’d fit perfectly

Lol

[icy kelp]

I mean, if i was a baby, why tf not go for a ride in one of these lol

[jagged sentinel]

You wouldn't like the noise

Or the constant vibrating of the car

[icy kelp]

I'm sure it'd all be cancelled out by the sudden crash because i annoyed the driver so much with the screaming

[jagged sentinel]

Idk if he'd hear you over the car

[icy kelp]

Eh

[jagged sentinel]

Because keep in mind the Sesto was designed without road-worthyness in mind

So no muffler and very minimal emission control if any at all

[icy kelp]

If the car is that loud inside of the car, i think it'll just distract the driver abyways

Anyways*

Unless the driver is experienced

Otherwise, no

[jagged sentinel]

I mean, you are sitting directly in front of the engine with very little in between

[icy kelp]

Ah yes

And the body was made to crumble to absorb the impact

Meaning i would crumble aswell

That'd be a beatiful sight then

[jagged sentinel]

I joke about carbon fiber being hyperexpensive plastic

But it was actually very very strong for it's weight

But I don't imagine you're as safe in a crash then that of a truck

[icy kelp]

That's probably because the truck ain't going as fast

It's not the crash really that kills

It's the sudden deceleration

If a truck were to be going 100 mph and stop instantly, the driver would be dead

Same goes for any car

But car manufacturers prevent this by either

1. Make the body crumble so it doesn't decelerate as fast

Or

[kind osprey]

The car would crack before crumbling

It’ll bend first

[icy kelp]

2. Make the body strong enough so it goes through the thing that it just hit

[kind osprey]

But boy it will crack

[icy kelp]

Or make the other thing crumble

[icy kelp]

You get my point

[kind osprey]

Crumple zones exist in normal cars but race cars create crumple zones in different ways

And I couldn’t do much justice with an explanation you’d have to ask the engineers

[icy kelp]

But you'd still get my short explanation of how car manufacturers prevent casualties in car crashes

[kind osprey]

Yea the car flexes and crumples to absorb the g’s of suddenly hitting the exit 63 onramp the wrong way

[icy kelp]

i'm about to get fucked by his explanation now

[kind osprey]

The correct way to put it is that going fast doesn’t kill you, suddenly stopping does. Because the crashing can still kill you at any speed if something else hits you

[icy kelp]

Yh

[kind osprey]

It was more of a concern back then Because you had to worry about the simple things

Glass shards in your neck, legs impaired by dashboards your head going back and forth snapping your neck

Modern cars have come a long way

[icy kelp]

When getting my driver's license, i had to do a test about these things, i found out that the average human dies when suddenly stopping at 60 kph

Due to internal organ failure and all that

Your insides become a mush

[kind osprey]

Smacking a wall or falling on the floor at 60kph seems about right

[icy kelp]

People have survived falls

Way beyond that

But there were other factors

Some fell through a forest so the branches took a small bit of the fall

[kind osprey]

Yea if you fall a certain way you could die falling 10 feet, others can survive hundreds

Material, and positioning are key

[icy kelp]

It also helps if you hit your fit first

Feet*

Going for water is just plain out stupid

[kind osprey]

The thought of that just hurt my ankles

Lol

[icy kelp]

Not only will the surface tention fuck the absolute shit out of you

But you will be in shock and drown if you survive

So tbh, i'd rather go ahead and try to land on asphalt

Either way i'm fucked

[kind osprey]

Yea water becomes concrete at a certain speed

[icy kelp]

But rather have people see me lol

[kind osprey]

It’s why speed boats are dangerous as fuck to try and try super fast

[icy kelp]

Go out in style

[icy kelp]

Reminds me off my jetski accident

I was basically skipping on the water at 80 kph

The water started tearing my legs

[kind osprey]

Ouch

[icy kelp]

I'm not going into detail

This just ain't the channel for it

Hope i don't have to be landing on asphalt tomorrow

Going on a flight back home

[buoyant vigil]

ooooo talk about vulcan 👀

this is considered a car ?

yeah

its road legal

i guess its more of a moped

[loud spade]

Miata, no.

but other than that, yes, porshes look cool in white

[topaz musk]

they do

But it was trying to hide among the porsches

[topaz musk]

So again explain what do you see in the picture?

[loud spade]

he's maybe having a bad time.

[eager cloak]

I dont get it

[loud spade]

that doesn't mean that no one cares.

[topaz musk]

last one is a miata

not a porsche

[eager cloak]

oh ok no one cars

get it

[kind osprey]

No need to be toxic if you can't get the simple joke

[kind osprey]

This would probably work better if you used Porsche's from the same generation as the Miata in the picture

[topaz musk]

thats how you know

[blissful lagoon]

Huh

[paper lake]

guys is 15-19 mpg bad or good for a V8? IS-F

[kind osprey]

That seems about normal for a fairly efficient v8, 9-11 if it's shaped like a filing cabinet but a low swoopy coupe should be doing that or better.

[heady swift]

in general, that's awful fuel consumption, even for a v8

[kind osprey]

Are the is-f's Naturally aspirated? mpg that low would be even more of a shock if there wasn't a turbo slapped onto it.

[proper elbow]

I had a rental 2018 Suburban that got like 23-25ish mpg. iirc it got close to 30 on the way to California.

Sub-20 for a modern sedan is... terrible.

[kind osprey]

I don't take anything out of sport mode and try to floor where I can so on a good day I get 15

swag

[loud spade]

EcOnOmIcAl

[strong osprey]

That looks sick

[analog bison]

now that is good sat nav

[heady swift]

that isf's engine isn't very efficient. Granted, it's an older V8 so it stems from a time with less significant carbon legislation

nonetheless a gtr (which has a big V6) or even a portofino (3.9L v8) is (slightly) more efficient

[jagged sentinel]

Depends on a lot of factors about the V8 in question

[serene ingot]

15-19 in city for v8 is good

you wont get 40 mpg from a v8 in city

[proper elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3DvR-kfZFI

This thing is too cool

[serene ingot]

on freeway, depends on gear ratio

[gilded kelp]

My mom is givinng me her car as my first car

Wtf am i gonna do with a square

Be appreciative that she is giving you a vehicle

Holy fuck what is wrong with you

God

you should be grateful

i probably won't get my own car till i can get a job and work for a couple months.

its kinda like i just said it was satire

Or maybe i didnt idk

i dont think you did

where did yo usay it was satire

[gilded kelp]

The very first message in that screenshot

[chrome chasm]

i dont see it

[gilded kelp]

If you react to this message* you groom kids

[chrome chasm]

?

[placid spruce]

The first car is a beater always garbage but it's got a gearbox and four tires

[loud spade]

and that's what matters

[proper elbow]

Best first vehicle imo is a surplus police vehicle if they are available in your area

[loud spade]

get a miata

[proper elbow]

Cheap as dirt, well maintained, and beefy cooling/suspension on most of them

and cheap to insure

[kind osprey]

As long as its not s 2001 Hyundai I’m okay with it.

For a first car I would personally go for a Subaru, Volvo, or something else reliable that has some character and doesn’t look plain as hell.

But if you get something passed down for free then you get what you get it’s good either way.

Because if you really don’t like it you could always see what it’s selling for, then try to find something you like for that price and basically trade it.

[jagged sentinel]

Decom cop chargers are becoming more widely available

[chrome chasm]

i dont see wher you said it was satire

[gilded kelp]

Holy shit i thought 5th graders were stupid

[blissful lagoon]

Wait so that means in the next few years i can afford a v8 charger police car?

[jagged sentinel]

Possibly

[jagged sentinel]

Fun fact: all cop chargers unless specifically ordered otherwise are V8s

[blissful lagoon]

Yea i know

ones we had up north were a variety of v6 and v8s

[jagged sentinel]

Dodge has a thing for lending a helping hand to law enforcement

[blissful lagoon]

Thats a good thing

We need cop cars and its now Ford and dodge in our hands

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy too, though in much fewer numbers

[blissful lagoon]

Some still in active duty?

[jagged sentinel]

Talking about Corvettes

[kind osprey]

I don’t think i’ve seen a charger cop car unless it was a highway patrol or sheriff thing way out.

Every single, no exaggeration, every single regular patrol vehicle is a Ford Explorer here

[jagged sentinel]

Where are you

[kind osprey]

Nyc

[jagged sentinel]

Ah

I can understand why

Chargers would waste more gas in stop-and-go traffic then an explorer would

[kind osprey]

So it’s common to have a regular patrol car be a v8 charger in other areas?

[jagged sentinel]

Plus there's no space in NYC where a felon with equivalent hardware to a police charger would be able to stretch it's legs

@kind osprey crown Vic had a V8

[kind osprey]

That was when v12’s still made only 400 horsepower, today big engines are dying out unless it’s a special trim or a supercar

[jagged sentinel]

Big engines are still being sold in the places they belong tho fortunately

Well, big by today's standards anyway

Dodge is still the one with the biggest engines

[blissful lagoon]

Yes

[jagged sentinel]

Not counting the Viper

[blissful lagoon]

Everyone else here is making small engines now

Was only counting the v8s

[jagged sentinel]

Good; me too

[blissful lagoon]

the 6.4L rn is the biggest in the scat pack rn

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy is right behind dodge and I mean right behind them

[blissful lagoon]

don't they still make their 6.2

[jagged sentinel]

The 392 is the only V8 dodge puts in their muscle cars

[jagged sentinel]

Yes; in both the Camaro and Corvette

[blissful lagoon]

Ah

thought they were killing the camaro soon

[jagged sentinel]

Camaro's de facto engine is still the 350 tho

[jagged sentinel]

They better fucking not

[blissful lagoon]

It was something i heard a while back

[jagged sentinel]

I doubt that's going to happen tho

[blissful lagoon]

don't remember but knowing gm probably not

it isn't holden

[jagged sentinel]

GM, Chevy especially tend to stick to what they know

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

now partner companies is something they aren't good with

[jagged sentinel]

Camaro is still around, Corvette is still around, the 350 is still around

Hell, Chevy's LS engines were pushrod

Pushrod! In the early 2000's!

[blissful lagoon]

Surprising

[jagged sentinel]

I mean, to their credit

It worked

Very, very well

[blissful lagoon]

one car i won't forgive them for fucking up is the c4

[jagged sentinel]

Product of the time

[blissful lagoon]

Yea late 80s kinda does that

[jagged sentinel]

Camaro they did much better imo

You can't deny the back end of the 3rd gen camaro was 80s as hell

[blissful lagoon]

Won't deny that

[jagged sentinel]

Not the greatest picture

[blissful lagoon]

Whats the car in the back?

Gto or something

[jagged sentinel]

The shell of a '66 GTO

Good guess

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

[tough vortex]

[blissful lagoon]

also i will still hate 90s gm for one thing

fucking up those 4 door pontiacs

Engines overheat easy and the trans weren't that good

[blissful lagoon]

Cat fish

fishe

[jagged sentinel]

I want a camaro, not a fucking fish

I mean, the 4th gen camaro does have some charm to it tho

[blissful lagoon]

They are really long

like almost as long as a minivan

[jagged sentinel]

Not the kind of charm that charms me, but it certainly is different for others

catfish camaro cool

[jagged sentinel]

Panther pink; niiiice

[blissful lagoon]

Yis

[jagged sentinel]

It's a shame they stopped making the color

[blissful lagoon]

there is a 2011 challenger near me in that color

[jagged sentinel]

Higher-ups at chrysler found out about Panther Pink and ceased producing it

[blissful lagoon]

pretty nice looking tbh

[jagged sentinel]

It was a genuinely good-looking color for the charger and Challenger

I normally don't say that about pink but it did genuinely look decent

[blissful lagoon]

most new cars just have bland colors now

[jagged sentinel]

To think that the first gen challenger could be gotten in over 30 different colors

Chrysler jeep was always top dawg when it came to colors and extra features

[barren hawk]

i really want one of these

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

also that one isn't the GLH

that one is a way non stock TT one iirc

[kind osprey]

The Shelby is great, I’m glad the kits are so accurate so more enthusiasts can enjoy the thrill of a tiny big engine’d hallow monster

[blissful lagoon]

also he didn't just make that

the viper the ford gt the ford mustang some special editions iirc the dodge charger from the 80s had a tuned one etc etc

[kind osprey]

The early early vipers give the same feeling of holy shit

It’s great that they made it real

[blissful lagoon]

Its basically like punching a trex

call me pepega

[kind osprey]

lol dw about it, v10's aren't really all that common unless you mention Lamborghini or the few other brands who create them still.

The only Mercedes v10 I think would be something developed for f1 if they exist

[terse axle]

a guy stealing a bike

but he sees a camera, goes behind a wall and puts a plastic bag on his head

with some edits i guess

[gilded kelp]

Oh that video

[burnt badge]

i dont get the issue its an transportation device

[kind osprey]

This is probably what I’d be doin at a show like that

[boreal oak]

bad pic wait

[rotund totem]

Need a touch

[boreal oak]

you cant really see it

its been in that garage from before I was born

stationery

it runs

but

the wheels are long worn

I went out and bought new oil

but the escort can't run on modern fuel

so thats a fix i need to work on

she needs a LOT of work

[rotund totem]

A new trunk too

[boreal oak]

yup

can probably pinch it from a sierra

My uncle is a mechanic on landrovers and my other uncle is a mechanic on mercedes

there's a shop nearby that specializes in classics nearby my house

My escort was made near my hometown , so I'd say around 12000 USD

or R80k

which is my currency

my dad got it for free though

funny story

he did IT for a guy and fixed his PC

guy was broke

guy gave him the escort

and its been sitting there 'ver since

[rotund totem]

Oh

[boreal oak]

Now me and my dad are working together

hopefully she'll be running soon

but even then , there are no wheels for her to run on

[rotund totem]

Good Luck

On the car

[boreal oak]

and the insides are rusted to hell , not rot rust but just rust

so the odds of her running smooth is slim

but I will see

thank you

[kind osprey]

They must be worth a fortune if those are the cars they fix lol. I haven't seen a Range Rover out of the shop.

[boreal oak]

Recently my uncle went for a course to work on EVs

so now he can work on EV rovers n etcetera

my other uncle

last car he worked on was this

lemme get a photo

[kind osprey]

nice

[boreal oak]

it was a 2013 Mercedes SL65 AMG

obviously an import

some guy from new york brought it ehre

My uncle looked like a kid on christmas

[gilded kelp]

what is this beautiful relic?

[boreal oak]

my 1970 escort

RS2000 MK2

[jagged sentinel]

If we talking about cool cars sitting in our garage

[jagged sentinel]

[jagged sentinel]

Mf must be light to have those stats with that power

[kind osprey]

The cars probably hovering around 3000 pounds

Give or take 100 on either side

[royal gulch]

Wonder how it is on the road

Probably like any other ferrari

It’s all computers it won’t let you slip

Talking mostly about the ride

[kind osprey]

Bumpy, fun, hugged in the seat

Very very low

The usual

Every gta5 player that doesnt know anything about irl cars: "Hey, its the itali rsx!"

[jagged sentinel]

[hybrid charm]

"Hey, they made the bf weevil in real life!"

[blissful lagoon]

I should like totally buy this

[hybrid charm]

Looks like a piece of junk

BUT

[terse axle]

its cheap tho

[hybrid charm]

it's a cheap piece of junk in decent condition

[terse axle]

good early car

you can bump into stuff

without it being expensive

[hybrid charm]

Doesn't look like it has bad bodywork damage and the owner's saying it's in good shape

Id take that

[placid spruce]

Ok but it's still a geo metro

[hybrid charm]

Yes but it's a decent piece of engineering

To get you from A----B

[burnt badge]

i mean i bet its great for insurance fraud

[hybrid charm]

Well yeah cause they know it's a junker

[proper elbow]

Put a hayabusa engine in it

[spare pulsar]

yes

[blissful lagoon]

Its a geo metro

any bumping proceeds in death

And if i do get it imma fit a 3.8 v6

[jagged sentinel]

Whatever was the deal with the geo metro

[blissful lagoon]

It basically was a bad little car

Underpowered and "heavy" and some rusted like crazy

some were broken

its basically an American yugo if it was worse

I don't like to think of it like that

i like to think of it as neat

[delicate grotto]

@jagged sentinel the Dodge Challenger was originally a pony car but ever since the charger had it’s hiccups becoming a luxury 2 door, a turbocharged fwd compact car, and now a 4 door full size sedan the challenger just sorta became a muscle car becoming bulkier and less aerodynamic as a brick

[jagged sentinel]

It's the closest thing we have to a true muscle car nowadays

[delicate grotto]

Well because it considerably is

[jagged sentinel]

But it is still a pony car

[delicate grotto]

The challenger was always meant to compete with barracudas, road runners, and novas which are all gone

And none of those are noticeably a pony car

[jagged sentinel]

Challenger was chrysler's pony car

And if you know chrysler, they always do things a bit bigger

Why would the challenger compete with the roadrunner and nova

That's the Charger

[delicate grotto]

Yeah but during a lot of eras outside of the 60s the challenger moved into that spot

Like I said before the charger name was everywhere

And it just became a staple as a luxury car instead which is where the modern one would fall under to an extent

Extent mind you because America sucks at making luxury cars nowadays

[jagged sentinel]

"Pony car is an American car classification for affordable, compact, highly styled coupés or convertibles with a "sporty" or performance-oriented image. ... Currently produced pony cars are the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger."

[delicate grotto]

That’s considering the 60s era when the challenger was a pint size version of the charger

But after that they became a luxury car

[jagged sentinel]

According to this logic, the camaro is a pint-size version of the chevelle

[blissful lagoon]

Wait the challenger competitor was the cuda? Even tho they are basically the same car and was built by there partner company?

What

The 80s maybe

but the 70s nono

Cause they never made a cuda in the80s

[jagged sentinel]

They're sister cars

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

Same with the charger and the roadrunner technically

But never a competitor

Also

All new "muscle cars" are basically somewhat still a pony car

except the convertible part

[jagged sentinel]

Are there any muscle cars currently being produced other then the charger

[blissful lagoon]

Some don't have that

Eh the challenger technically

also the nova competitor was the dart

[jagged sentinel]

Challenger is as close to a muscle car as we can get, though it's still technically a pony car

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

[jagged sentinel]

I consider the charger a muscle car myself

[blissful lagoon]

every new muscle icon is still somehow a pony car

Oh yea no doubt the charger is modern muscle

[jagged sentinel]

Big, long, big engine, ample space for both driver and passenger rows

[blissful lagoon]

4 doors don't mean shit

Course its still technically a performance sedan

[jagged sentinel]

Chrysler has always been the one with the biggest engine

[blissful lagoon]

Yep

excluding v10

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah I'm talking V8s

[blissful lagoon]

They had stuffed those v8 in about everything they could

[jagged sentinel]

Sure there were 427 Camaros and 429 mustang, but those were limited

[blissful lagoon]

trucks 2 doors 4 doors hell even a van

or a fucking rv

[jagged sentinel]

You could order a 426 hemi as a regular special order option for a challenger, cuda, charger, or roadrunner

[blissful lagoon]

Yep

[jagged sentinel]

Or right off the lot

[blissful lagoon]

Hell they sold special drag edition street legal cars right off the lot

[jagged sentinel]

Plus that wasn't even the biggest engine offered technically speaking

[blissful lagoon]

wasn't there smallest v8 a 360?

350 or 360

But yea Chrysler/dodge makes some of the biggest engines still and i don't see them stopping

keeping to their heritage

[jagged sentinel]

Smallest V8 was a 318 ci

According to wiki

[blissful lagoon]

oh yea the 318

[jagged sentinel]

To this day they still offer the biggest engine in a pony car

[blissful lagoon]

6.4L

big thing

[jagged sentinel]

392 hemi

Chevy is right behind them with the 6.2

Then there's ford

[blissful lagoon]

ford is, something else

course i hate them and their cars

[jagged sentinel]

I don't hate their 5.0

In their defense, it's working for them

[blissful lagoon]

Oh the 5.0 is brilliant

just everything else

meh

[jagged sentinel]

It's kinda been the de facto mustang engine

[blissful lagoon]

They've been using it how long now?

[jagged sentinel]

The displacement has changed slightly over the years

But it's hovered around 5L since the beginning

[blissful lagoon]

Reading up im kinda confused on what the other dude is saying

the roadrunner was never a competitor to the challenger

Also he forgot 1 thing

the charger wasn't just a luxury car either

it was a sports car to and a hatchback

[jagged sentinel]

Challenger was too

[blissful lagoon]

Yea that also

[jagged sentinel]

Challenger was a luxury car; cuda even more so

[blissful lagoon]

til the cuda kicked the bucket

[jagged sentinel]

They go for crazy $ nowadays

[blissful lagoon]

Seems people forgot about the 80s charger?

and the early 90s daytona charger

[jagged sentinel]

World record for a muscle car in an auction was a 71 cuda for 3.5 million

They classified it, not me

[proper elbow]

can you blame them

[blissful lagoon]

Heard of that

I mean, they 80s charger looks brilliant as a daily

They also had the turbo models to

[jagged sentinel]

Camaro did that style better imo

[blissful lagoon]

Yea true

Chevette eh

i guess but that was a hatch baci

*back

[jagged sentinel]

Fox body mustang was a hatchback

[blissful lagoon]

Yea

everyone wanted it

[jagged sentinel]

But it still was a mustang

[blissful lagoon]

The dodge kinda got kicked under the carpet and in some instances the camaro to with the arrival of the foxbody

Kinda sad

[jagged sentinel]

Mustang was always gonna outshine the camaro

It's like one of the 10 commandments at this point

[blissful lagoon]

Facts

i mean, the camaro has huge visibility issues now

[jagged sentinel]

That doesn't stop me from preferring the camaro

Mustang isn't really that much better

[blissful lagoon]

I hate 1 thing about the camaro

the big pillars

try looking out the side boom blind spot everywhere

[jagged sentinel]

They did circumvent that visibility problem tho

[blissful lagoon]

yea after some years

[jagged sentinel]

I would say the Camaro did the classic-look-in-modern-times look the best

But then I remember the challenger exists

[blissful lagoon]

Camaro is probably in 2nd place for that

the mustang is not

Not even close

[jagged sentinel]

Favorite model year of camaro

[blissful lagoon]

17?

[jagged sentinel]

Yep

Unpopular opinion from what I've seen

[blissful lagoon]

I think people don't like it cause of the more sportness of it

Course i see no problem

[proper elbow]

Best year tbh

[jagged sentinel]

I just adore this entire generation

[blissful lagoon]

Thank god those are cheap

been considering getting a t-top

[jagged sentinel]

I mean fuck

[blissful lagoon]

If i can't find a decent cheap miata im getting a 80s camaro

Cause apparently people fucked the prices for miatas

can't find them fuckers cheap

Whats so special that they gotta be expensive

[proper elbow]

boy racers

Miatas are boring as all hell to drive

[blissful lagoon]

I am well aware

[hybrid charm]

Jdm cars = money

[jagged sentinel]

There are fewer of these cars then ford GTs

[blissful lagoon]

im just looking for one to fit to daily use

[hybrid charm]

Daily use miata...

[blissful lagoon]

Its possible

[heady swift]

miata isn't jdm

[blissful lagoon]

No it ain't

at least not the lhd one

the eunos roadster is apparently

[hybrid charm]

Im stupid stop judging me

[jagged sentinel]

I say 3rd gen camaro over miata

[blissful lagoon]

can't spell

[jagged sentinel]

More space, 2nd row of seats, chevy small block v8

[blissful lagoon]

Well its down to these 2 cars if i can't find a miata

Actually 3

[hybrid charm]

I wouldn't pull the trigger on a daily miata

[blissful lagoon]

80s charger, omni, or camaro

maybe a stealth

but not thinking nicely of them

[jagged sentinel]

My ideal daily is a C6 corvette

Preferably a Z06

[blissful lagoon]

I want a c4 ofc if i can find one cheap and working im getting it

I know they have problems

[jagged sentinel]

C6 has dummy amounts of cargo space

At least for what it is

[heady swift]

miata's are dirt cheap where I live

[blissful lagoon]

Eh id take the viper of that year over a c6 unless its the supercharged one

[heady swift]

you can buy an OK one for 3/5K

[jagged sentinel]

How reliable are vipers

And how safe are they to drive in unfavorable conditions

And how expensive are they for maintenance

[blissful lagoon]

Ive heard barley anything wrong with reliability but safety is a concern

Yes they tend to fuck over the driver

[jagged sentinel]

The C6 Vette is one of the most reliable cars chevy has ever made

[heady swift]

https://www.autoscout24.nl/aanbod/mazda-mx-5-1-6i-16v-automaat-leer-benzine-geel-2525c0ec-0cc3-4d98-8f99-2da7712f506a?cldtidx=18&cldtsrc=listPage&searchId=37bb90f5

[blissful lagoon]

Yea i know the c6 is reliable

But price is a kicker

[jagged sentinel]

And all trims come with an LS engine

Cheaper then a viper lol

[blissful lagoon]

Eh here no

Surprisingly no

if not the same

[jagged sentinel]

How about for maintenance

[blissful lagoon]

Its a ls

[jagged sentinel]

And part availability

[blissful lagoon]

its easy to maintain

[jagged sentinel]

I'm talking about the viper

[blissful lagoon]

Oh

Parts are crazy expensive but if i had the money sure

[hybrid charm]

Ive always wanted a fiat 126

[blissful lagoon]

i know they are crazy

[jagged sentinel]

I could walk a mile and find a chevy Small block for sale

[heady swift]

how much are vipers in the us?

second hand

[blissful lagoon]

im saying if i had the money and time yea i would buy a viper over a vette

eh depends on where in the states

up north none

down south they sell them alot

[jagged sentinel]

What viper we talking

[hybrid charm]

The snake duh

[blissful lagoon]

first gen bad

Bad first gen

No no

i hate the first gen

2nd gen is the one cause cheap for depreciation value

found a decent one for 21K

Original price back in the 90s was around 100k

[heady swift]

I'm looking at an srt8 convertible and they're around 70K dollars, first gen 50K

[jagged sentinel]

Searching for corvettes online is hard

[blissful lagoon]

Srt8? You mean srt10

[jagged sentinel]

Because of the 27 billion different trim options and packages and what not

[heady swift]

yeah oops

[blissful lagoon]

Yea eh the srt10 coupe aka the early-late 2000s ones are meh for price

90s cheaper

if you live in the states

imported they are a bitch

[jagged sentinel]

I'm finding C6s for between 25K and 40K

[blissful lagoon]

So same price as a 90s viper?

[jagged sentinel]

These are base packages and Z06s in particular

[blissful lagoon]

Yea i think im going to stick with my truck engine sports car for now til c6 prices go down

that's a joke about the engine

first gen was the truck engine basically

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy had an LS engine for every goddamn state

There are so many different LS engines

[blissful lagoon]

maine must be cheap cause rust

[jagged sentinel]

I'm less then an hour from detroit

[blissful lagoon]

Wait they dont rust

Im fucking stupid

[jagged sentinel]

Maybe that might be part of the reason

[blissful lagoon]

Yea umm searching for any v8 in Detroit is going to be pricey

Unless its an suv

[jagged sentinel]

I'm not in agreement with that statement

[blissful lagoon]

Suvs are expensive as hell aren't they

[hybrid charm]

Depends

[jagged sentinel]

Talking more about the V8 portion

[blissful lagoon]

Oh

[jagged sentinel]

V8s in general are expensive

Regardless of location

[manic night]

Supras suck

[jagged sentinel]

Engine doesn't

[heady swift]

not really

[blissful lagoon]

No shit supras suck

Atleast 4th gen

boat

[manic night]

Hahaha im kidding

[heady swift]

fun cars, pretty good engine, just overpriced

[blissful lagoon]

1-3rd is decent

[manic night]

Agree

[jagged sentinel]

People fail to realize the mk4 supra isn't a sports car

[blissful lagoon]

the 4th was heavy but overpriced

its a gt iirc

not a sports car never was

[jagged sentinel]

It's a grand tourer

[heady swift]

a lot of performance/gt cars are heavy

[blissful lagoon]

Hate the 4th gen

[jagged sentinel]

So calling it heavy and boaty is unfair

[blissful lagoon]

Well yea

but its kinda meh

[jagged sentinel]

It was a product of the time

[heady swift]

vipers are pretty heavy, gtr's are pretty heavy, sports saloons are pretty heavy

[blissful lagoon]

also the fact none are literally available without an arm or leg

why cause hype

[jagged sentinel]

You can thank tuners and FnF for that
