@red cape I just looked at some of the specs of the Project 2&4. 1.0-liter V-4 engine making 212 hp, and 893 pounds for the concept car.
That's an insane power to weight ratio.
The engine they are putting in the car must be from this bike. http://powersports.honda.com/images/rc213vs/hero-retina.jpg
Honda RC213V-S
civic spoke
It should go like stink.
It's basically the same as a 2,700 lbs car having 600 hp.
But it should be able to stop and take corners like nothing else.
red cape
it's light enough that a few people could theoretically lift the car up and move it somewhere else
civic spoke
Just about 410 kg's.

There's this guy I follow on social media, I follow him and what they do with their rental fleet 😄
They have a bunch of nice rentals that you can take on the Ring.
fallow ridge
I've never driven on the ring
I'll put that on the list
Won't you need an international license or something?
red cape
I've driven around the Nurbrugring...

fallow ridge
Hah I suppose
civic spoke
You likely need a internationial driver's license to drive in other countries.
civic spoke
To be honest. The car that they have that I desire the most isn't their M2 or M4.
fallow ridge

It's a track prepped VW Up.

what car did you buy

That sucks.
fathom socket
yeah you know how much sequentials cost right

wait, what's your next car?
fallow ridge
ive never driven a sequential
fallow ridge
man i figure sequentials are only made for race spec
fathom socket
well yeah
fallow ridge
if I put a sequential in my GSF itll brapppp real nice
fathom socket
most can be switched into auto
civic spoke
The sound alone would probably drive me mad if I drove a transmission like that on normal roads.
civic spoke
DCT is different to a sequential.
fallow ridge
yea i was under the assumption that most of the lambos coming out are DCTs
fathom socket
so yes if your wondering what my next car is its a huracan perfomante
fallow ridge
wow
fallow ridge
if i get enough money for a supercar im buying an aston
red cape
I'm here considering what beater car to get and here's a person with a huracan 😂
fallow ridge
😂 ikr
fathom socket
dont have one yet
fallow ridge
i thought i was a high roller with my GSF
fathom socket
gotta wait for two years
civic spoke
The fact that it is a special car at least means that it's not going to go down in value as much as the normal Huracan.
fathom socket
thats the wait list on this spec
civic spoke
I wonder how the car is going to handle the heat.
fathom socket
fine
red cape
Oh, then you'll be playing Forza Horizon 3 irl XD
fathom socket
yep
civic spoke
Did you order carbon or steel brakes?
fathom socket
carbon
fathom socket
who the fuck orders steel
fallow ridge
i drove a ZO6 with carbon and i dont think i coud daily it with that
civic spoke
I would go with steel if I were going to track it.
fathom socket
huracan perfamonte has active cooling for the brakes
civic spoke
Ceramic brakes are just too pricey and fragile. IF anything were to happen.
fathom socket
im not keeping stock you know that right?
fallow ridge
supercharger 😂
fallow ridge
wheels and tires first
civic spoke
How much does it have again? 650?
fallow ridge
or does it come with great tires
civic spoke
Comes with good rubber.
red cape
How's fuel economy on it though?
fallow ridge
if you buying that you dont care about the mpg
civic spoke
I'm pretty sure that it's similar to the Cup 2 tires.
fathom socket
for the spec i went with it cost me 675k
fallow ridge

civic spoke
Can't remember what brand Lambo uses.
fallow ridge

fallow ridge
is the cocaine that comes with the car?
civic spoke
Trofeo R tires then.
fathom socket
roads are always hot
fathom socket
ive got my spec here if your interested
fallow ridge
oh yea lemme drool over it real quick
civic spoke
But what are you getting as a daily until the Performante arrives?
Unless you're fixing the sequential.
fathom socket
probably nothing
fallow ridge
Buy a Civic
fathom socket
fixing the sequential will cost me 25k
so i could legit buy a car for less then the repair on the transmission
most of the cost goes to the government here
for luxury cars

fathom socket
so yes there will be a straight piped huracan perfomante ripping around australia in 2 years
like police here actually encorage you to speed if you arnt in the city and have a good car
mainly because its so boring being a traffic cop here
fallow ridge
Man my friend straight piped his mustang and it shakes the house on startup
fathom socket
so they love seing pulls in super cars
fathom socket
straight piping a lambo isnt smart if your neighbors hate you already
but fuck it i live on a main road
fallow ridge
Yea might as well
fathom socket
tbh the huracan is going to be quieter than my rx7 was
fathom socket
which one
civic spoke
The 3-rotor.
civic spoke
Personally? It's a huge mess.
fathom socket
ik
civic spoke
I don't know if he fixed it. But he had to hotwire the car to start it.
fathom socket
yeah thats when you know you fucked up
also how the fuck has he not finished the quad rotor yet
like fuck i finished my 3 rotor including engineering in a year and a half
civic spoke
It's a big fucking mess. That's what it all is.
fathom socket
does he know what he got himself into?
he thinks awd is hard to do
its fucking not
my rx7 is
mainly because i take the thing rallycrossing
and trust me thats a fucking sight to see down here
its mostly audi a1's and subaru wrx's
and then a fucking rx7 blows past you
civic spoke
I can't rememher how much he had to fix the RX7 before that whole Project Car Challenge thing.
fathom socket
alot
civic spoke
But I know that he had to get a new gearbox, rear subframe, and drive shaft.
Along with fixing the dash, and much more.
fathom socket
so basically half a fucking car
it was a fucking travesty
how do you fuck up a rotory that bad
they are the easiest things to build
civic spoke
There was a videos after that. That showed how bad his manifold was.
And he's swapping out the turbo now as well.
Going to have to deal with his overheating issues as well.
fathom socket
he just doesnt know what he is doing
also only ever got one speeding ticket
personally
and trust me i fucking deserved it
civic spoke
I trust the guy from B is for Build more than Dahm.
fathom socket
same
i got a 500$ fine
for speeding
you ready to hear what i was doing in the zone
325km/h in a 100 zone
civic spoke
You didn't lose your license and everything?
fathom socket
no i have a very good lawyer
civic spoke
I guess that they were just happy that you stopped.
fathom socket
i didnt
they got me three towns down
so about 100km when i pulled over for petrol
civic spoke
"Sir. Do you know why I stopped you?"
fathom socket
they asked that
i just told them the truth
never lie to a cop
it only ends badly
civic spoke
Yeah
fathom socket
i just said i was doing more than triple the limit
and he laughed
and said when he saw me fly past he wasnt going to bother even trying to stop me
civic spoke
More places should have derestricted freeways.
fathom socket
nope
we dont
its only certain roads here
so anyone here seen the apollo ie in person yet
because ive seen one
and holy fuck
civic spoke
Don't see many high end cars around where I live.
And I don't go out enough to catch them either.
civic spoke
Don't think that I've seen much of anything of it.
fathom socket
ill send a vid
civic spoke
Oh, wait. I did see a video from Shmee about it. But it was just an overview.
fathom socket
all good
civic spoke
I want to see more content of the Koenigsegg Regera.
fathom socket
you know what car i wish actually released
the mazda furai
i feel like im the only person who remembers it
civic spoke
Wasn't it on Top Gear or something?
civic spoke
Man, the Regera is such a beautiful car.
fallow ridge
Pretty
civic spoke
1 hp per kilo.
fathom socket
yep
civic spoke
And the Agera RS broke a bunch of records a few months back.
fathom socket
yeah it makes bugatti look slow
civic spoke
8 seconds faster for the 0-400-0 kmh
civic spoke
More or less in the same time.
fathom socket
well that was a super tuned spec agera
so i would assume a super tuned one:1 would be atleast 3 seconds faster
civic spoke
It used the MW upgrade that the 1:One has.
fathom socket
plus bugatti has an airbrake
so thats where their speed decrease came from
because bugattis weigh so goddamn much
civic spoke
Yeah.
fathom socket
hence they need it
civic spoke
I just looked up the weight difference for the RS vs One:1
One:1 is 1,360 kg RS is 1,395
And that's the curb weight with all fluids and 50% fuel. From the looks of it.
But just looking at the specs for that engine. The numbers are so silly.
fathom socket
yeah its crazy
its like the engineers at koenigsegg had a bucket full of cocaine to do whilst doing the engineering for it
fathom socket
yep
also koenigsegg's surface was absolute trash compared to bugatti's
they spun their wheels up to 180kmh
civic spoke
On the run they did more locally, yeah.
fathom socket
so basically we need to get both cars independentally tested
civic spoke
Not a big deal on the other run they did in Texas, I think it was?
fathom socket
i mean it was
but the road surfaces where still different
it needs to be done in the exact same conditions
for it to be properly vaild imo
civic spoke
Oh, it was in Nevada.
fathom socket
just get them down to australia and put them on a runway
watch how much faster they are
civic spoke
fathom socket
i would guesss a one:1 with an airbrake could do it in 30 seconds easy
civic spoke
Just drop a parachute behind you.
civic spoke
Yeah.
fathom socket
parachutes are not road legal in the slightest
civic spoke
I can't remember if the RS has active aero or not.
fathom socket
they are basically single use per drive
civic spoke
I just know that the air brake isn't on the same level as the Chiron.
fathom socket
they take so long to pack
tho tbh never been a drag racing person
if the car cant turn its a no from me

no i didnt
why the fuck would i do that
i was running a tri rotor

You got no other cars than that RX and Huracan?

well that matter anyway
ive got a yaris to go get groceries with

i mean it was either a huracan perfomante or a Bac mono
the bac mono if you dont know what it is
civic spoke
Would be fun to have a 13B in a Yaris.
fathom socket
ill probably end up getting a bac mono when i can afford to as my track car
and do an engine swap
civic spoke
I would probably go for a Caterham as a track car.
civic spoke
Any small and lightweight car will be.
civic spoke
I just like the Caterham because it's back to basics.
civic spoke
I think the Caterham has similar power and weight.
civic spoke
Oh, Just looked up the BAC Mono. It's 580 kg dry.
fathom socket
imo the closest to owning an f1 car you would want to go
unless your mental
in which case buy a mono and bump the power up
civic spoke
610 kg is wet/curb weight.
fathom socket
so about the same as a mono
civic spoke
Yeah.
fathom socket
with these cars the drivers weight matters alot
civic spoke
Yeah, they do.
fathom socket
so i was at the track today
civic spoke
A 60 kg driver adds 10% to the weight.
fathom socket
standing in pit lane in full race suit helmet and neck brace on and i start getting harassed for being a chick
whilst waiting for the driver to show up in pit lanes so we could switch driver
like driving isnt like it used to be we have power steering
anyone can drive racecars if they have skill
its not a matter of strength
civic spoke
It's honestly not.
Oh, and I was looking at the specs for the Caterham 620S. The 620R is more hardcore.
fathom socket
yep
civic spoke
572 kg wet.
fathom socket
those cars are basically skeletons
civic spoke
Yeah
civic spoke
Just a tube frame.
fathom socket
yep
520kg
wet
thats about as light as you can get in a car
and the minimum weight for an f1 car with driver and fluids on board is 600kg
civic spoke
Stupid light for such a large car.
I think that I would be happy with a Caterham 420. Which is still over 200 hp.
375bhp-per-tonne

Kinda nice how you have the choice between sqeuential and a normal manual with Caterham.

new team for racing has been confirmed
pit crew is remaining the same aslong as they can develop comunication skills
and we are getting a new secondary driver
after the old secondary driver fucked the car
which he could have saved
for those unaware of what happened to the car we had a fuel line rupture on our teams bac mono
and the driver kept driving even with the drop in power indicating that he should have pulled into pit lane
and only stopped the car when he realised he was on fire, even though we told him to pit
and he didnt stop anywhere near the fire marshall
so the car burned completely
and we didnt have insurance
so now our team is carless
luckily its happened a week before our new cars arrive from england
but we are straight away bumping their power up
from 300 to 800
potentially more if the season needs it
fallow ridge

fathom socket
shits rough for him
fired because he destroyed a 500k car
and he could have prevented the damage
btw fuel lines were checked pre drive
fully intact according to internal records
so he must have had something rupture the fuel line
we spend about 2 hours going over the car for everyrace
whether its a 1 hour race or a 24 hour race we inspect them extremely well pre and post race

A Genesis showroom just opened up in my local mall and honestly they look pretty nice, probably can't hold up to a german car performance wise but not a bad addition to the market overall
do you guys think i should get a Honda fit (jazz) and supercharge it in the future or just simply go for something with a v6 for a first car? my budget is probably gonna be something like 6-8 grand cdn

ahhhh okok
what if i get an a4 1.8t
vw uses the same engine, so are they more reliable?
yea, they tend to go out at 100,000 miles right
can i do general maintenance on them myself
nothing too technical
yea, maybe a clutch at most with the help of friends, or intalling pads or coilovers
i wanna learn how to do it, im a novice
do they rust a lot?
i live in canada so salt fucks up cars really easily
ahhhh okok
if i decide to get an auto, i want a dsg
are all dsgs dual clutch or are they single clutch for the older models
not slush box torque converter
its either manual or dsg
its not easy finding a manual audi right?
its not easy finding any manual luxary car, but are audis somewhat more rare?

so are you going thru insurance?
ahhh
the only reason im even getting a car is because if i go secondary on a 2017 rdx its $350 lmfao
toronto and the surrounding area is fucked for insurance premeiums
theyre prolly a lot less strict in the US
so it just sat in your garage
rip
aight, thanks for the advice
merry shadow
Isnt acura just honda for the us?
drifting geyser
No its a nicer honda
merry shadow
I see...
candid rune
@drifting geyser ehhhh, depends what you get. the J series v6 is a solid motor. Most people buy acura for the reliablity mostly. thats why they don't go german
Lexus is better tho, just way too expensive for what they are
candid rune
yea but thats obvious
i would never buy an mdx cause that is a literal dressed up honda pilot
same with the ilx, its a dual clutch k24 si
honda and acura is a mess rn when it comes to outfitting their cars
my rdx has an dual screen satnav from 2009 while the crv has carplay
one brand always plays catch up idk why
drifting geyser
Infiniti is just nissan
candid rune
infiniti is a joke
drifting geyser
i hate infiniti
candid rune
infiniti: "lets make a 400hp sedan but put a slush box in it so its not competitve with a 335i"
isuzu still exists? fucc
drifting geyser
yup
candid rune
they're popular in the asia thats all i know

My dad has a GMC (ISUZU) landscape truck
drifting geyser
DURAMAX is basically just ISUZU diesels
drifting geyser
I love Hyundai
civic spoke
The i30 N looks like a pretty nice car.
drifting geyser
I am getting a 2011 Hyundai Sonata from my grandfather when I turn 16
civic spoke
Not a terrible car, honestly.

in general, hyundais and kias have a reputation for being uninteresting. it's nice to see them trying to tackle that with some hot hatches and the kia stinger
fathom socket
Wats a good first truck
fathom socket
Thats not a ford
civic spoke
I only really like the trucks with single cab and short beds.
civic spoke
What trucks can you even get as a short bed single cab?
I know that it's basically none in the US.
drifting geyser
@civic spoke my dad has a Ford F-250 crew cab
civic spoke
Too big. Honestly.
The smaller, the better. At least for trucks.
Just not a fan of trucks in general.
drifting geyser
The NEW trucks from Ford however are great
civic spoke
Too big for my taste. Unless you're talking about the single cab of the Ranger that they have.
tribal pulsar
They are allegedly bringing the Ranger back to the US market
civic spoke
They are. But I didn't see it as a single cab for the US market.
drifting geyser
The new Ranger idt will sell very well in the US
civic spoke
Oh, I guess it's just called regular cab?

civic spoke
The cheapest ones are the ones they will put to most use.
civic spoke
Can't even get the regular cab with any kind of chrome or anything.
Sucks that there isn't really a market in the US for small trucks anymore.
civic spoke
I think diesel is our only option here in Sweden.
The most basic model can only be had with a 130 hp diesel.
Paired with a manual.
drifting geyser
Scania or Volvo
civic spoke
Still talking that Ford Ranger.
civic spoke
I like both. Edge might go to Volvo.
drifting geyser
I love volvo
civic spoke
Since they also make normal cars as well.
Could honestly really go for a Volvo V40 D4, with the manual transmission.
civic spoke
The V90 is super nice.
tribal pulsar
V90 Polestar 👌
Do they not have polestar available for the V90 anymore?
Huh, they don't
drifting geyser
The v90 is pretty nice
civic spoke
They have "Polestar optimization"
Which is a smaller bump in hp, and then an increase in torque as well.
tribal pulsar
The xc40 is pretty nice too
Kinda want one, but money is tight right now
The rear-pillars are massive though
this which is kinda throwing me off
civic spoke
The starting price of the XC60 is almost the same as the XC40
tribal pulsar
XC60 = 41.5k
XC40 = 35.2k
civic spoke
I would probably just have gone for the basic XC60
Ahh, that's the big difference. That makes the XC60 so much cheaper.
If you're picking the cheapest XC60 model, then it doesn't get AWD.
fathom socket
that ranger looks like its european or some shit
tribal pulsar
That's because it is
it's been sold in the European market for quite some time now
drifting geyser
Its coming to america tho
tribal pulsar
it's pretty well equipped afaik
meager grove
Starting prices are always deceiving
The options I went for were like half of the starting price
You build it up so fast
civic spoke
Yeah, it builds up fast. And I was checking a entry XC40 to the entry XC60.
The XC40 comes with the D4 engine, AWD, and the 8-speed auto as standard.
XC60 comes with the T5 (non-AWD) and the same 8-speed auto.

My camry is faster than the AMG GTR

@polar crest I'd love to see that proven

So that a Camry can be faster.

I am a self confessed VW nut. I also do some automotive photography from time to time.

Phaeton ftw
cc is nice as well
Not so sure about cc's replacement though... the arteon
drifting geyser
The arteon sucks pretty bad
