[heady swift]

no big american v8 smh

yeah I think that certain modes like ''sport mode'' or whatever yield better performance. It has a very big impact on fuel economy so I think they opt for the more efficient modes during testing

[heady swift]

the E60?

they're as unreliable as they can get

[ocean rock]

Very valid, he shouldve took checkered flag then burn that shit out

Final laps are very crucial moments. People are pushing hard and sometimes marshals are going to assume control of the track because they know the race is over and drivers are going to slow the hell down.

Is the warn badly worded and too harsh? Yes. But we all know by now safety delegates have the worst wording.

awd cars have more traction than others right?

is that why awd are used in rally races

[hybrid charm]

He is spamming because he want ban huh

[heady swift]

the throttle output in 4/awd cars is spread over four wheels (ish). This means that A) the tyres tend to lose their grip less B) if a tyre loses grip, you'd only lose 25 (sometimes less or more depending on whether it's awd and if it has other systems like a lsd or ayc) per cent of your output.

and in uneven terrains (especially during rally) having torque in every wheel is extremely useful since not every wheel can be of full use, depending on the environment

[buoyant vigil]

[barren hawk]

and awd cars are ideal for like track and circuit racing right?

what are fwd cars good for

[heady swift]

typically yes, but awd is more complex and heavier, though. And the FIA likes to over-complicate and ban things anyway

[heady swift]

nothing. But they're the easiest and cheapest to manufacture, hence why they're so prevalent

it's also the lightest, unless you have a rear engine rwd car

then people claim that Canada is as good as europe

[old sedge]

I still don't understand. Is Ruf a car brand or just an engine for Porsche?

[heady swift]

Ruf is a manufacturer, just like porsche

[old sedge]

Ruf cars look very similar with Porsche cars

[heady swift]

but porsche sends white bodies to ruf's shop, where they do their magic

[old sedge]

Oh, so the chassis or body of Ruf are from Porsche?

[heady swift]

yeah, porsche sends the chassis and stuff

[old sedge]

But which is better?

[heady swift]

ruf turns it into an actual car

I mean ruf's are very fast, usually on par with most 911 turbo's or gt2/3 (rs)

[sage roost]

Ah ruf I remember them from forza horizon 2

[old sedge]

So Ruf is not an upgraded version of Porsche, or not always at least...?

[sage roost]

Because PGG couldn’t get Porsches due to licensing

[heady swift]

no, porsche just sends white bodies

[old sedge]

Oooh

Thanks, now I get it

[heady swift]

porsche sends a lot of white bodies to third parties

[old sedge]

So it's different from the relationship between Ford and Shelby

Since Shelby versions of Ford performance cars are upgraded versions.

[heady swift]

yeah kinda

they just use the body of a 911 but add their own stuff

so it may look like a porsche, but 90 per cent of the car isn't

[old sedge]

I think both Porsche and Ruf are good...

Or only Porsche is...?

[heady swift]

hence why they're a separate manufacturer and not a division

porsche and ruf both make excellent cars

[old sedge]

Oh, that clears it up, thanks.

[heady swift]

ruf just makes enthusiast cars

porsches you can sometimes use daily, granted you have the finances

[old sedge]

I think Ruf is more focused on sports cars

[heady swift]

and have good infrastructure

[old sedge]

While Porsche has daily use cars

[ocean rock]

There's a rumor saying that RUF is going to move to purely their chassis instead of Porsche whites

hows that going?

[heady swift]

they already have their own bodies

the ctr (yellow bird) and scr have ruf bodies

as well as the ctr3

[old sedge]

Oh, so I am right to think that both Porsche and Ruf are great

[heady swift]

yeah, but ruf produces lower volumes and they're a bit niche

[old sedge]

Well, I haven't seen a Ruf car for daily use, like an SUV which Porsche has. All Ruf cars I've seen are usually for sports or races.

[heady swift]

yeah they're just sports cars

but significantly more expensive and ruf doesn't have the same logistics as porsche

so people treat them a bit better

they're also more expensive

[old sedge]

Ruf seems to be handcrafted then

Or at least their own chassis

[heady swift]

porsches are too

ruf's just niche

[old sedge]

Oh

Does that mean Ruf is rarer too?

[heady swift]

for most models, definitely

[old sedge]

Interesting

[heady swift]

I think you can also just bring your own 911 and let them convert it

a lot of companies do that, so not just ruf

singer, for instance

they're also behind that new ''safari porsche'' that recently got praised by the media

[old sedge]

Oh, nice. So a Porsche can be converted to Ruf

[heady swift]

though the car was completely designed and made by singer, they put the porsche sticker on the side

porsche got mad and threatened to take legal action

[heady swift]

if you have the funds and manage to get on the waiting list, yeah

but porsche makes pretty extreme and rare cars themselves

look at any gt2/3 and their rs versions

or the carrera gt and 918

[heady swift]

993 being the holy grail

[sage roost]

Nissan is reliable

[old sedge]

Oh

[sage roost]

In a completely different universe

[mint plank]

[old sedge]

Here, Nissan's maintenance is hard and expensive because of the lack of available parts

If for example, we're gonna buy this part for a Nissan, they're gonna order it from Japan first

[ocean rock]

hardly unique, especially considering 90% of them gonna be either transmission or gaskets

[mint plank]

German cars would be reliable if they weren't so overcomplicated

[old sedge]

And here, Mitsubishi are not reliable in the past

[sage roost]

Nissan’s CVT transmissions are hot garbage

Eeh depends on how it's manufactured, the evo engines were very sturdy

[heady swift]

Here they just use 1.5 to 2l inline fours

[heady swift]

Ah damn

Sorry for your loss

[old sedge]

Ouch, I'm sorry about that

[sage roost]

np

I think it had like 500k miles before that

Drove like it was still new

[heady swift]

Lexus is great

Very odd company

[mint plank]

Rebadged Toyota

[heady swift]

On the one hand they use efficient hybrids and on the other hand they have massive v8 and v6's

[old sedge]

The Mazda 6 here uses 2.5L turbocharged gas engine for its gas variant while its rival, Honda Accord only has the 1.5L turbocharged gas engine

[mint plank]

@heady swift

[old sedge]

And Mazda in my country once said that they don't believe in downsizing engines.

[sage roost]

5.7 liter V8

[heady swift]

I know, but their marketing is everywhere

[old sedge]

Which would you guys choose? Torque converter AT or CVT?

I haven't seen a diesel engine with CVT in my life

[heady swift]

Haven't seen a diesel in awhile to begin with

Dying breed here

[old sedge]

Diesel fuel here is a lot cheaper than gas fuel

Big difference

[heady swift]

Here it's almost the same but diesel drives weird

[old sedge]

That's why if there's a van with gas and diesel variants, 99% of the people will go for the diesel variant

Our Toyota van is the last of its variant with gas engine, its facelift version no longer has gas engines due to lack of demand

[ocean rock]

more torque than HP is always gonna be weird

the car hauls ass but barely goes 40mph

[heady swift]

I mean hybrids are taking over their segment so I don't mind

[old sedge]

I'm used to driving diesel

[heady swift]

I mean if it's cheap

[old sedge]

But I think gas engines can reach higher top speeds than diesel engines

Is it true that CVT has lower lifespan than torque converter AT and CVT has higher maintenance costs?

[proper elbow]

Not with a $1.5k asking price

It needs a ton of work, but I've been craving some sort of project for awhile now.

As long as there isn't a ton of rust around the shock towers It'd be fun

[ocean rock]

Yeah no

I think it also missing an airbox and throttle

Weather for Spielberg looks sus

As usual

[tardy jolt]

How does it look sus

[ocean rock]

Because it always says rain on sunday

And then the race will be in a broad ass daylight

[sage roost]

That was the case for France too

[old sedge]

Which would guys prefer? Understeer or oversteer?

[ocean rock]

Depends on what you want to achieve.

Both are inevitable in cars so its about bias.

[old sedge]

In cornering?

[ocean rock]

Yeah ik

I mean

Depends on what you want to achieve.

[old sedge]

Hmmmm

Understeer seems more annoying though

[sage roost]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825775327397412904/860475794077253672/image0.png

The size difference

[terse axle]

You can correct oversteer easily

Understeer is way worse

[old sedge]

That's what I think too, understeer is very annoying

So idk why many manufacturers built modern cars designed to understeer

They say it's for safety purposes but I still don't understand

[heady swift]

It's safer to have frontal impact than side

The engine bay in modern cars is designed to absorb a lot of the infact

Impact*

[hybrid charm]

well there is an entire engine there to absorb the impact

[old sedge]

I would still pick oversteer because understeer is far worse

[empty niche]

understeer is boring

[old sedge]

If I'm not mistaken, drifting revolves around oversteer

[heady swift]

you wouldn't ''pick'' either. It's just that they make understeer more likely than oversteer, should the driver lose control

it's simply safer

[heady swift]

eeeh yeah but there are so many other factors, the mechanical aspects of drifting are quite interesting

[old sedge]

It sucks that they make understeer more likely than oversteer since oversteer is easier to correct

But none of those is better

[heady swift]

you do realise that we're talking about consumer-grade cars and people that just have their driver's license and use it for daily commuting

vast majority of people don't really care for cars or advanced driving technique

How unexpected

[ashen carbon]

Well that's one half of the question solved

But really, how long are they gonna sit on Bottas? Until Mick overtakes him in a Haas?

[sage roost]

[ashen carbon]

inb4 they keep Bottas and that actually happens next year due to rule change shuffle

[ocean rock]

Haas takes 2nd in the WCC, Red Bull petition a ban on Third Party Chassis

[old sedge]

Guys, which would you prefer for city and highway drives? Internal combustion engine car or hybrid?

I want to buy a used hybrid but people say its maintenance is expensive, is it true?

[lucid hearth]

Russel Q3 please

[ocean rock]

Pretty much

You got 2 complex system powering the car.

[hybrid charm]

just buy a skoda octavia from 1999/2000

[old sedge]

The CR-Z looks really cool

[old sedge]

Oh my... so its fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness can be outweighed by expensive maintenance.

[hybrid charm]

well done you bought a hybrid the entire world is now saved

also no matter how fuel efficient the charging still takes forever

[old sedge]

I wish I did buy one

Or I wished...

But now, I'm having 2nd thoughts of buying a hybrid

[hybrid charm]

alot of car brands are making electric cars instead of ordinary gas cars which i dont like

[ocean rock]

EVs only barrier is batteries.

[hybrid charm]

the thing is, you wont save the world by getting everyone to buy electric cars

and electric cars are boring

sure they might be fast but

they dont have the sound that good ol gas cars have

[old sedge]

Well, you can't blame them since internal combustion engine cars produce emissions which pollute the world and we only have 9 years to minimize pollution

But I prefer combustion engines too when it comes to sports or race cars

[hybrid charm]

i doubt we'll minimize pollution in 9 years

heavily

i don't trust humanity

[old sedge]

If we don't the global warming's effects will be irreversible

[hybrid charm]

yeah well we definitely won't

so NASA better get to making mars rockets

[ocean rock]

Doom and gloom just because of oil baron losing votes in EPA

[old sedge]

But I really want a Honda CR-Z, it looks really good. They say it's still fast

Or fast enough to be fun to drive

[ocean rock]

Considering how CRX is hard to find

Go on.

[hybrid charm]

honda crx looks meh

[sage roost]

The CRZ is a completely different car lol

[old sedge]

CRX?

I'm talking about CRZ, a hybrid coupe.

[ocean rock]

CRZ meant to be the CRX successor, straight from honda words

[sage roost]

well

[ocean rock]

I know.

Blame Honda, not me.

Perez and Norris get the exact same lap time lol

[mint plank]

[uncut saddle]

Holy shit Russell Q3 is getting real close now

[ocean rock]

I hope you woke up from your sleepwalking in time.

[old sedge]

Nvm, the CR-Z looks complicated

[uncut saddle]

Hmm?

[ocean rock]

Reverse jinx work

[sage roost]

Russel made it into Q3?

[uncut saddle]

Yes!

[mint plank]

[lucid hearth]

Q3!!!!

[uncut saddle]

Holy fuck

My boy

[lucid hearth]

a williams outqualified 2 ferraris

[uncut saddle]

Vettel really should get a grid penalty for that shit

[lucid hearth]

yes what was that anyway

[ocean rock]

what did vettel do?

[uncut saddle]

Completely blocked Alonso in the last turn

Alonso had a massive run

And just got fucked in the last turn

And is now out

[sage roost]

Ouch

[ocean rock]

Time for the ALO is washed comments on twittah

[uncut saddle]

His run could've been good for a p5 or 6 iirc

Fucking hell Norris just gets faster and faster

[sage roost]

Norris out qualifies Hamilton

Soon

TM

[lucid hearth]

that's my boy norris

[ocean rock]

@lucid hearth @uncut saddle

[uncut saddle]

[old sedge]

And many people here seem not to trust CVT, why?

[sage roost]

Because CVT is garbage

[uncut saddle]

Norris purple

[sage roost]

Norris pole?

[uncut saddle]

Norris pole and Russell p10?????

[old sedge]

People still prefer the normal/torque converter AT

[sage roost]

I believe

[old sedge]

But why is it garbage?

[sage roost]

Not that reliable and difficult to maintain

nvm no pole for Norris

[ocean rock]

LANDO POLE?????????

[sage roost]

[ocean rock]

[uncut saddle]

RUSSELL P9!!!!

[sage roost]

[lucid hearth]

holy shit landoooooo

[ocean rock]

Stroll what the fuck are you doing

[uncut saddle]

Lmaooo

[ocean rock]

Finna raid tim hortons to vent my anger from that quali

[twin fiber]

Russell P9 !!

[ocean rock]

actual pepega stroll, and Lando robbed of pole again

But yeah

Russell P9

[sage roost]

Now we wait until a haas makes it into Q3

[ocean rock]

Mick Q3 and ill cauterize my next wound with a hot pan

[old sedge]

So that's why, they also say that the transmission oil for it is more expensive too

[uncut saddle]

Russell on mediums was faster than Stroll on softs

[sage roost]

Stroll was on brand new softs as well iirc

[twin fiber]

Lando missed pole position for 0.048 seconds , right?

[sage roost]

Yes

[twin fiber]

Ah

[sage roost]

And Verstappen will run away with the WDC and WCC, just to suck balls next year to hop ship

Checo #1 for RB confirmed

[old sedge]

Why do I feel that a CRZ is not worth buying now?

[ocean rock]

Because it never is, get a Brio

[heady swift]

it's a rather slow car

so if you want to go vroom vroom fast, it's not the right honda

[old sedge]

I was thinking if I should get Civic or CRZ although I don't like the instrument cluster of the next gen Civic, the current still feels more modern

[heady swift]

a regular civic or its sports variants?

[old sedge]

The one with 1.5 turbo engine

[heady swift]

doesn't really specify much

but civics are pretty nice cars, over-all safe

[old sedge]

It's regular variant I guess, they call it RS Turbo

Type R is too expensive

It costs around $64k here

[heady swift]

I mean you can buy it, just seems like a poor choice to buy it new

will depreciate fast

better to wait awhile and buy an owned one for half its price

[old sedge]

Actually, Type R value seems to be climbing because it's only limited edition

[heady swift]

which gen?

[old sedge]

Current

[heady swift]

the second hand ones here are still a bit cheaper

[ocean rock]

Basically Civic Si detuned hard.

[old sedge]

I swear I saw people here selling their current gen Type Rs at prices which are even more expensive than a brand new one.

[heady swift]

but yeah if there are limited editions are rare then the depreciation won't impact it as much

[heady swift]

might just be a local thing

here they cost 10-30K less

personally not a fan of the new gen type r

looks like some factory rice

but they're quite popular

[old sedge]

The problem here is the flood prone areas, hehe

So SUV is still a trend here.

[faint wind]

Hows my car collection?

I MEAN. Those Cars are pretty rare..

almost

[hybrid charm]

I don't know I don't collect model cars

I have like 3 and they're not even with me

[faint wind]

ah

[narrow thistle]

i still have all 295 of my hotwheels

was an avid collector, and if sum1 were to give em to me rn i wud keep collectin

[jagged sentinel]

I have around 100

I think

Might have gotten rid of them, honestly don't remember

[narrow thistle]

damn

[old sedge]

How about this guys? My new idea is to buy a used BMW just to have a BMW?

[narrow thistle]

works

[old sedge]

The only problem would be the expensive maintenance

[jagged sentinel]

Take that mustang

[ashen carbon]

Right, I fell asleep early for one qualifying and this happens.

[sage roost]

Vettel got a grid penalty didn’t he?

[ashen carbon]

No idea, I just woke up
