The reason they may have brought the Amazon Wagon / Fagaloa, is due to the engine model in-game resembling the RB26DETT of a Nissan Skyline GT-R.

I really think the biggest question is how many people here actually enjoyed the aesthetics of the first cars they owned. Like, forget the memories you hadn't it, just the aesthetics.
That's quite the interesting question imo because you get a massive split of answers

so both
heady swift
I've the footage somewhere, but it's from afar so no details
gray venture
damn
still
they cancelling group b was kinda sad, they could just reduce the number of tracks to ones that were safe and get more regulations
instead of just tossing it to history
I still cant understand why the spectators used to be in the middle of the road
heady swift
yeah, nowadays they really improved the safety
heady swift
and honestly the engineering of current wrc is ''equal'' to group 2
heady swift
group b wouldn't survive too long
heady swift
unregulated racing makes for spectacle, but short-lived spectacle
lack of safety and huge increase with costs
same happened with group c
in the end it's a battle of who has the most funding for r&d

oh is that the american legislation thing?
heady swift
glad that isn't happening here, would kill all amateur and semi-professional racing
especially rally
gray venture
well usa is kinda big, if it happens there other countries start to follow
its basically a the masses cant race
heady swift
if they want to lower emissions they should focus on big v8 suv's for example
heady swift
well usa is kinda big, if it happens there other countries start to follow
eh we already have a lot of legislation in the EU, though it differs per member state
but a v8 mustang base model already costs 80K euros, so they already cracked down on performance cars
heady swift
yes, but no one buys them
not very popular in the european market and they're not very fit for most kinds of racing
preference goes to more compact hatchbacks for example in racing*
gray venture
the things that worries me is that the ban includes any modification on the car
including turbos
coilovers for some reason
heady swift
yeah it's a dumb blanket ban
goes to show that politicians just push their agenda without listening to expert opinion
hallmark of a failing democracy
fresh echo
I mean it wasn't pushed by politicians it was an internal change at the EPA, but I know this isn't the channel for politics
heady swift
the epa's a governmental agency right?
gray venture
I mean it wasn't pushed by politicians it was an internal change at the EPA, but...
this specifical thing in politics is related to vehicles which affects transportation

gray venture
the epa's a governmental agency right?
ye
fresh echo
It's a governmental agency of expert scientists and career civil servants yes
gray venture
It's a governmental agency of expert scientists and career civil servants yes
expert
they already killed the muscle car
fresh echo
Well there's a pretty massive thing that it seems a lot of people are missing
EPA’s focus is not (nor has it ever been) on vehicles built or used exclusively for racing, but on companies that violate the rules by making and selling products that disable pollution controls on motor vehicles used on public roads. These unlawful defeat devices lead to harmful pollution and adverse health effects. The proposed language was not intended to represent a change in the law or in EPA’s policies or practices towards dedicated competition vehicles.
gray venture
ok then ive been swallowing bad youtube propaganda or theres something weird
probably both
fresh echo
A lot of the car sites were pushing it because those car sites are often sponsored by racing teams and major manufacturers
So while there's nothing wrong with the bill they're pushing to protect motorsports, that bill is generally redundant because the EPA wasn't trying to destroy competition racing in the first place
fresh echo
Correct, but yeah competition racing isn't under threat from the EPA, which should be a sigh of relief for everyone
gray venture

Eh, not a fan but you can build a car which fits a very specific aesthetic, in which case it's well-done. But sticking diy led strips from aliexpress under your base model civic is 🍚
fresh echo
I find it's pretty good on cars where it's clear the owner is self-aware
Like there's a guy near me with a lifted Dodge Ram who basically turned it into the Call Of Duty mobile, covered in green and black art of all the characters from modern warfare and Black ops 2, bunch of Monster energy and Doritos ads on it, gaming setup in the bed, and it's got a lime green underglow
And that I can respect because like the owner is fully self-aware of the look

Electric is cool and all but they should really attack the utility, government, and delivery vehicles with ev power before they start getting rid of personal vehicles.
I don't want companies to stop ice production for sports cars and high trim sedans until every bus, cement, truck, mail truck, shuttle bus, or every boring utility vehicle is an electric vehicle first.
They should target those areas first now that the world has a pioneer like tesla to show their potential
blissful lagoon
EV mail trucks would be pretty genius
kind osprey
The mail trucks we have now the old ass Grumans in the US, are using engines from 1973 and get 9mpg. Only occasionally get set on fire
blissful lagoon
thats something that would be cool instead of replacing our commuter cars
kind osprey
If they made those electric imagine how much money and gas and oil the world would be saved of
9mpg to 90mpg/e
Mail trucks would be my first hammer for ev utility projects.
after mail trucks it would be buses and other public transport methods.
like they need to focus on this shit before they try to take away Bugatti's w16 engine. They made 500 of those cars compared to any other production car average the bugatti is more efficient
because of how low production they are.
blissful lagoon
I don't really feel like paying more for an ev than a small house 😔
kind osprey
Gas cars should still exist up until 2050 at least, but only in racing and low production vehicles
electric cars only cost as much as their batteries, batteries aren't as energy dense as liquid gasoline but as they get more dense and cost effective it will only make sense to have 90% of cars be electric
For example, if an electric car gets 300 miles of range and has the same energy capacity as three gallons of gas, it has a 100mpg/e rating.
Three gallons of gas weighs like 20 pounds and can be pumped in like 20 seconds
but a 300mi range battery weighs 700 pounds and takes a while to charge
they need to develop batteries to compete with the practically of fossil fuels

Boring cars should be the main culprit of electrification. Every Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Crv, Hyundai Elantra should be electric before they touch supercars
Daily vehicles first then force ev upon the rest once it is complete
There are electric hypercars but the difference is that they were built to be electric.
I don't mind new electric cars, I just don't like replacing an existing sport or super vehicle with electrification
Like if they made the new Lamborghini Huracan's successor electric i would probably cry

yknow, they gotta shove the EV idea down your throat
its sad
at least the 400z was not an EV even though it looks like shit

eeeh, racing cars are becoming more and more hybrid
speaking of hypercars, you got the le mans hypercar which is a hybrid and they're to be homologated
so expect expensive cars with a powerful 4-6 banger and light weight hybrid drive train
both gazoo and n are focusing on rally, hybrid technology can definitely be useful
the only categories which I know won't use hybrid systems is supergt (and wrc for now)
old sedge

They remove them as part of "cost cutting"
