The engine is the only thing that was special about it

blissful lagoon
#

I only like 1 4th gen and that's the targa

jagged sentinel
#

Only reason I don't completely hate the supra

heady swift
#

meanwhile you can get a subie sti or evo for pretty cheap here

blissful lagoon
#

Toyota no doubt did make a great engine

#

Just don't like the hype its stupid

#

Most jdm cars are like that unless its a carry van

#

actual that's not true

jagged sentinel
#

You could tune an LS7 to 1000 Horsepower for the same price it costs to just buy an mk4 supra in decent condition

blissful lagoon
#

Yep

jagged sentinel
#

Not to mention 2JZ parts...

heady swift
#

why on earth would you want a 1000hp engine

blissful lagoon
#

Japanese parts are and will stay expensive

heady swift
#

aside from drag racing

blissful lagoon
#

unless budget car

jagged sentinel
#

I was making an example

blissful lagoon
#

Eh tuning an engine to 600hp is more reasonable

jagged sentinel
#

Anything above 750hp is too much for daily driving

#

Anyone here likes the datsun 240z

jagged sentinel
blissful lagoon
#

ah the 240, electric problems are weird in some

jagged sentinel

electric problems are common in some

#

It can be a daily

blissful lagoon
#

Oh yea the delorean

jagged sentinel
#

It's right on the edge of reasonable power

blissful lagoon
#

I like to ignore the existence of the DMC delorean

jagged sentinel
#

You can't deny the fact that

blissful lagoon
#

i just don't like it doesn't catch my eye but it does look kinda cool

jagged sentinel
#

It defined 80s car design

#

It personified it

heady swift
#

a guy in my city drives his quite often, it's honestly a pretty mild car

proper elbow
#

John DeLorean has an interesting story

heady swift

once you see it

#

Drug smuggling, etc

manic night
#

Any of u ever seen a delorean

jagged sentinel
#

@proper elbow he was really damn good at visually designing cars tho

blissful lagoon
#

I have seen a delorean 1 time and it was on the way to jackson Tennessee to get possibly restored or scrapped

#

Front damage

#

destroyed

manic night
#

Oh that sucks if it got scrapped

jagged sentinel
#

There's a company that builds Deloreans

#

Like, nowadays

blissful lagoon
#

Yea i heard of that

#

kinda neat

jagged sentinel
#

Just, without all the electrical problems

#

And doors that would lock people inside at random

blissful lagoon
#

so a better one?

heady swift
#

I see one regularly and another one abroad

jagged sentinel
#

And the engine that it was originally intended to be sold with

manic night
#

Ive seen the delorean once in my life and it was from the movie back to the future

jagged sentinel
#

It was supposed to come with a V6, but something happened with the supplier and a 4 cylinder went into it instead

blissful lagoon
#

Looking at classifieds

#

why is a shit looking delsol 7k

Cheaper then an F15 and much more versatile

its cheaper?

i thought if they were gonna buy an american jet they were gonna get the f-35

Germany doesn't have much need for a stealth fighter

Especially at that price

Its the sound of 1200hp ofc its loud

#

There's a new Shelby mustang, it's a signature edition that goes on the GT

#

825+HP and manual transmission

jagged sentinel
#

Sauce?

elder basin
jagged sentinel
#

Looks like a gt350

#

Obviously excluding the b u l g e on the hood

elder basin
#

It kind of is, but it has a supercharger

jagged sentinel
#

Needs a spoiler

#

Especially with that kinda power

elder basin
#

Ducktail

jagged sentinel
#

Ah

#

Feel like a wing would better suit the look imo

elder basin
#

Yeah same here

jagged sentinel
#

Plus a ducktail isn't going to be as effective as a wing at the speeds that I almost know this car can achieve

elder basin
#

But even if you get it, which good luck its more than 100k, you wouldn't be modding it.

#

It's got Shelby's signature on a bunch of parts

jagged sentinel
#

First (if only) thing I'd do is put a wing on it

#

What fuel does it run on

#

Out of curiosity

elder basin
#

Let me check but I'd imagine premium or something

#

Yep 93 octane

proper elbow
#

๐Ÿšฎ

elder basin
#

Even then I personally don't see the point of it, like it may have all the horsepower a kid could dream of, but how does it fare on the track compared to the discontinued Shelby gt350r

jagged sentinel
#

The GT350 was made for the track tho

elder basin
#

This is more for a dragstrip

jagged sentinel
#

Made with a focus on track performance anyway

#

Yeah for sure

elder basin
#

Hence the ducktail

jagged sentinel
#

The wing on the GT500 suggests decent track performance but

#

GT350 is just as good as the GT500

#

But it's cheaper and had 100 less horsepower

elder basin
#

You mean the new 500?

jagged sentinel
#

Yes

elder basin
#

I think that has a DCT, that'd be faster than the 350

jagged sentinel
#

The OG 500 was a dragstrip car all the way

elder basin
#

I'd say the current Gt500 is overall track purposed but the late gt350 is a daily driver

jagged sentinel
#

Agreed

elder basin
#

You're not going to get the same enjoyment factor from a manual to a DCT

jagged sentinel
#

750 hp is a bit much for a daily

#

Plus I don't imagine the gas mileage is spectacular

#

And depending on your neighbors, they'll probably hate you

elder basin
#

Isn't that the point?

jagged sentinel
#

In a daily?

elder basin
#

In any car, make your neighboors look out their window to marvel in your billow of smoke

jagged sentinel
#

I would have used gasoline for smoke

elder basin
#

Cut infront of the prius and drop into 2nd then floor it

jagged sentinel
#

Coal-roll

#

Classic

elder basin
#

that's what you get you liberals in your toy battery cars

jagged sentinel
#

Say what you want about electric cars

#

But they can move

elder basin
#

but there's no real enjoyment in them other than the fact that you can go 0-60 quickly

jagged sentinel
#

Not everyone needs to hear the engine to enjoy driving

#

I'm a petrosexual, so I would prefer to hear the engine

elder basin
#

it might just be personal preference to me, since I am one of those who prefers having a stick and able to hear the engine yelling at me for going too fast but rolling with it.

#

hell I even found out on a roadtrip to cali, that to get 100mph in my actual car, it's 3rd gear just below Revlimit and not 4th gear 4500rpm

#

I think I topped out at 110mph as my highest top speed that entire trip

old sedge
#

Wow, some legendary cars are built because of Ferrari's arrogance. After Ferrari insulted Ferruccio Lamborghini, Lambo built his own cars which became the Lamborghini cars. After Ferrari angered Ford, Ford built the Ford GT40 which defeated Ferrari in the 24 hours of LeMans 4 times in a row.

kind osprey
#

Stubborn boy was influential when he wanted to, and when he didn't want to.

#

full circle legend.

old sedge
#

My question is. Did Ford really had to change the GT40's whole brake assembly during a pit stop after a brake failure or it's just in the movie?

jagged sentinel
#

That's a very oddly specific thing to add simply for plot convenience

old sedge
#

So it means the brake failure and the brake assembly change during a pit stop didn't happen in the real event...

jagged sentinel
#

I'm saying the opposite

kind osprey
#

I'd assume it did happen, because Ford didn't know how to cool down components in that car for their lives.

jagged sentinel
#

It's not like they had decades of experience of extreme endurance racing at the time

#

At least not on tracks as ferocious as Le Man's de serthe at the time

kind osprey
#

Yea for what they did it was awesome, I'm glad they made a movie to spread awareness to Ken Mile's contribution towards the project.

old sedge
#

Carroll Shelby is a person who won the 24 hour of Le Mans as a driver, as the team owner/leader and as a car designer.

jagged sentinel
#

They were in nascar at the time iirc, but a ford Grand Torino and a GT40 are two completely different beasts

old sedge
#

And although I believe Ken Miles was robbed of his 3rd crown, Ford is not to blame

#

Considering the lack of modern technology we have right now

kind osprey
#

well it was fords idea to do that dummy photo thing

#

so technically yea

jagged sentinel
#

It was regulation and doctrine that robbed him of the crown

old sedge
#

And if I'm not mistaken, McLaren and Miles were still teammates in that race

kind osprey
#

Yea Ken Miles crossed it first but since Bruce was right behind him and Bruce started 60 feet back or something he got it instead

#

more ground covered

old sedge
#

But I thought racing is about who crossed the finish line first?

kind osprey
#

bad regulation

#

technically it is

#

but it isn't

#

because dumb rule

jagged sentinel
old sedge
#

If they have same laps and Miles crossed the finish line first, he should be the winner.

kind osprey
#

He didn't lap the ford cars, just every other car

#

I believe there was only like a two minute difference between him and the others before he slowed to coast and let them line up

#

i mean all in all, getting those three titles within the year would be an amazing accomplishment, but in the end I think he receive an accomplishment better than any award.

#

the magic of friendship

old sedge
#

And people should know who the "true winner" is

jagged sentinel
#

Miles was the MVP, even if he didn't win

old sedge
#

But like I said, McLaren was Miles' teammate so at least he didn't lose to an enemy or rival

jagged sentinel
#

Mhmm

old sedge
#

Aside from same car, they're in same race team.

#

And I'm kinda sad that my most favorite endurance race car(Nissan R92CP) never won the 24 hours of Le Mans. ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

And about angering Ford, I think Ferrari's insult is justifiable considering the terms of negotiation when Ford tried to buy Ferrari is unfair which favors Ford and puts Ferrari at disadvantage.

sick wren
#

Ok so I have started my koenigsegg agera rs record car mosaic

#

Holy fuck this is taking a while

old sedge
#

Need For Speed movie made me love the Koenigsegg Agera R

sick wren
#

Oh we talking about the 1966 Le Mans championship and the ford gt40 and ken miles

jagged sentinel
#

I love the Koenigsegg CCX

#

Best sounding Koenigsegg imo

sick wren
#

Im more into the agera lineup as well as the 1:one

jagged sentinel
#

One:1 is an agera

sick wren
#

Why bot react

old sedge
#

The Ford v Ferrari movie made me realize that the 24 hour race events in Gran Turismo are not just in game and that 24 hour race means 24 hours literally

jagged sentinel
#

@sick wren you leveled up

sick wren
old sedge
#

Without giving the car a break

jagged sentinel
#

Goes to show how demanding it is to build a car for that race

old sedge
#

Yes, endurance race cars are designed for that kind of races

gazoo racing released their new lmdh prototype

echo tusk
#

Might as well make it a 2 seater and have more trunk space

#

I thought it was a liftback but it's actually not

kind osprey
#

I guess they make them back seats for convenience because if they didn't and you wanted to cram someone in there it would technically be illegal

#

but having a seat allows for a seat belt and regulation requirements

imagine a ring light around it tho

imagine the tickets, and just in general it's not the safest to remove half of your most important feature at light unless you live in a city of lights

its not a production car

False

open burrow

150 cars

and they arnt delivered yet

jagged sentinel

Still technically a production vehicle

open burrow
#

hmmmm

#

its not really a "production vehicle" with only 150 being made

jagged sentinel
#

Why was the One:1 considered a production vehicle then

open burrow
#

i mean i dont

#

i dont think it is

#

i dont even care rimac can take the crown. im just glad that the dodge demon is stripped of its undeserved title

jagged sentinel
#

Guinness did

jagged sentinel
#

My favorite high performance car war figuratively speaking is koenigsegg vs Bugatti

open burrow
#

top speed awards are deserved. but the demon did not deserve its 1/4 award

jagged sentinel
#

Bugatti, backed by the entire industrial might of Volkswagen

#

Vs koenigsegg, a small company from Sweden led by a man who started out selling mopeds

kind osprey
#

150 is definitely enough, i'd say anything over 25 counts

#

Some of these cars like koenigsegg take thousands of hours just to hand craft one so they are limited because it's impossible to make more and not many other reasons

#

If they could they would probably make five times the cars but they shell out models with only 25-100 being made each time

hybrid charm
#

It would get expensive if they made alot

#

Carbon fibre, engine parts etc very expensive

jagged sentinel
#

Not to mention their brakes and rims

open burrow
#

but they would sell more

hybrid charm
#

Yeah

open burrow
#

making them more money

hybrid charm
#

They cant just mass produce them

open burrow
#

yeah

jagged sentinel
#

Koenigsegg has a stupidly high standard for quality

open burrow
#

i mean for the price tag what you expect

jagged sentinel
#

Forcing themselves to make more cars would no doubt make that standard harder to maintain

open burrow
#

if your paying 5mil for a one:1 you would expect the best car possible

#

rolls royce

#

they maintain their high quality

kind osprey
#

The cars are like in and out burgers they won't expand even if they probably could a bit

#

due to quality control

#

Very few people can run the operation to koenigsegg's standards

jagged sentinel
#

Rolls royce is owned by BMW

#

Koenigsegg operates independently, so they have to do just about everything themselves

#

Not to mention they only build their cars in one place

open burrow
#

but are we not talking if koenigsegg had more money. to produce more cars

Some people here think Subaru is expensive and luxury but I don't think it is.

I think Subaru is just like Toyota or Honda.

Subaru isn't expensive or Luxury, they are very affordable and not too bad

#

The most expensive general production car they make is like $50,000

old sedge
#

Yeah, although Subaru is rare here, they're even cheaper than Toyota.

Honda is more broad in their products, but the comparison works for the most part

I'm not sure what will be the future of the automobile industry since many manufacturers are probably losing money because of the pandemic and then by 2030s, they will be forced to transition into EVs due to EU and US having plans to ban the use of petrol and diesel powered vehicles in 2030s.

# tight remnant i wont get political here but the us banning fossil powers in just unimaginable

I'm sorry, it's a gray area between politics and transportation but they do have plans on banning fossil fuel powered vehicles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles

The phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles is one of the two most important parts of the general fossil fuel phase-out process, the other being the phase-out of fossil fuel power plants for electricity generation.
More than 14 countries and over 20 cities around the world have proposed banning the sale of passenger vehicles (primarily cars and buses)...

#

Oh wait, I think not all plan to ban every fossil fueled cars.

tight remnant
#

yeah but if you look at who funds both political parties you will see fossil power producers "giftingt" money in the billions

#

thats why i highly doubt they will actually ban them

old sedge
#

If they actually do, would it be good though?

tight remnant
#

depends

#

a good match between electric and fossil

old sedge
#

In some EU cities, diesel powered vehicles are banned I think

tight remnant
#

and also other regrowing sources

#

yeah most german cities banned diesel in the inner city parts

old sedge
#

But here, we just embraced Euro 4 Compliance only like 2018

#

So I guess fossil fueled vehicles will stay in my country for quite long time

#

Not to mention many cities here get flooded during rainy seasons which could destroy EV charging stations.
