Wouldn't say sandbags, but I believe that the standard Chiron wouldn't make the cut.
Hence them making this modified version with a more aggressive setup (I would assume they fixed the gear ratios a bit as well).
Also, "Ehra-Lessien" is a VW group exclusive, hence them having an advantage of a perfect straight line to test top speed on. 😄

Saab killed saab. They were not profitable. GM was trying to keep them afloat, but Saab in their infinite wisdom didn't listen and kept redesigning everything increasing they're manufacturing costs. So GM after getting burned repeatedly and fronting the bill said no thanks and ended it.
dense shard
GM forced Saab onto increasingly shitty platforms with the last few cars being literally rebadges.
The 9-5 languished without an update for about a decade before it was updated a year before it was sold.
Same for the 9-3.
The 9-4, 9-7, and 9-2 weren't Saabs even in the slightest.
Even if the 9-2X was arguably the superior WRX.
And Saab in their infinite wisdom created cars vastly safer than anything GM managed.

anybody here would tell me if its worth this tire damage to take to the mechanics or is it cosmetic....
indigo coral
The scratch on the side? Depending how deep it goes I'd say you're fine. If it's shallow nothing to worry about. If it's a deep gash then take it to a tire store, they'll probably take a look at it for free
What happened to cause it?
indigo coral
You're probably fine then, I've nicked a curb a few times in my car and scuffed the tire
Yeah
If you want, you can take it to Les Schwab or something, they should take a look for free
lyric tulip
I bought my tires at Costco
If there is any issues with my tires for the next few years they usually replace the tire for free
I got Bridgestone roadsters or something
I think I got each for 60 new

The sidewalk of my mom's car is chewed up a bit
It's been fine for 30k miles so far
At least
lyric tulip
I'm quite new to driving cars and this is the first car I've owned
indigo coral
(we got the car with those issues already there at 30k, now it's at 60k)
Oh I don't blame you at all, tires are super important
Better to ask/get it looked at
lyric tulip
Yeah I guess the next time I go to Costco I'll check it out
indigo coral
👍 sounds good!
lyric tulip
Just wanted to know if I can make it a priority or not
Like if it is I will go tmrw morning and get it seen
But if it's meh ..
indigo coral
Personally I'd say don't worry about it too much, just get it checked
But I'm also not the most experienced either
dense shard
If it is a deep rip.
There's not much you can do to fix it.
Sidewall tears are a death sentence.
dense shard
But this looks fine tbh.

@lyric tulip yeah it's good. My sister owns a 1992 BMW and she accidentally took a chunk of rubber off of her 2 right tires and few weeks later one of them blew up on the highway so yeah pretty scary
$200 on each tire tho rip
Probably a very expensive BMW from 1990s
With heated seats and a steering wheel
With only 1800 miles
stoic ledge
It depends on how deep it is... The sidewall of a tire is quite soft to absorb shocks etc. If it's a bit deeper, it can be a hazard, causing the tire to blow
If you can see it's only a superficial mark like on falcons car, then it's fine. The rip looks to go a bit deeper, I'd get it checked out
fathom socket
Yeah
I told my sister to stay away from the highway until you get new tires but she accidentally went to the highway without thinking fast lol
And boom
lyric tulip
I'll go tomorrow then

those tires on falcon's moms car are 5 years old and gunna be replacing 
stoic ledge
5 years isn't that old, if the rubber isn't cracked/dry and the tires have enough profile left on them... Why not
tropic silo

If it isn't cracked, dry or low on profile. Than you're still fine to use the tires.
vital glen
@stoic ledge At 5yrs+ you are stating to get dry rot
at 3yrs the rubber starts to become less flexible
stoic ledge
Really depends on the tires, weather conditions etc
vital glen
@stoic ledge that's everything
stoic ledge
Yes
stoic ledge
Avg doesn't mean his tires are worn too
dense shard
To be fair the general guidelines call for oil changes every 3k miles
I imagine modern tire compounds are designed to last longer
indigo coral
well these tires have 60k on them and are starting to wear down
and we're going into rainy season
theyre still legal atm, but its time for new ones
dense shard
Makes sense
indigo coral
(also theyre shitty tires)
hankook optimo, theyre super loud on the highway and don't grip that well
stoic ledge
Kek yes 3k miles oil changes
Hankook Ventus Prime 3 are great tires tho ^^
Probably not suitable for a "SUV" like the RX300 tho

Well winter tyres are often softer, as long as they don't have cracks in them...
Damn nice
stoic ledge
> winter tyres have more grip???
Yes (?)

I drive on summer tires too
Winter tires aren't worth it, the 2 times a year we have snow around here

No slicks for daily driving

My tires in the butt end of the car are half bald and half perfectly fine!
viral matrix
I never drive on bad tires
Got 1.5 year old set on my summer rims and one year old set on my winter rims
And just bought new pair of tires for the bike, like 1.5months ago
But I also have two sets of bad tires for the car
With rims
indigo coral
I can't afford new tires, so I'm just dealing.

But can you afford a new car when you crash because of your bald tires
indigo coral
They're fine
Now that the car is in alignment
The bald part isn't even touching the ground anymore lol

Does a 1970 dodge challenger with under 1000 miles for 40 grand sound too good to be true?
dense shard
I think the base challenger came with a straight 6.
So I could see an OG example of that going for 40k.

dx corolla here i come

@floral canopy for under 1k miles that is an insane deal, if youre going to look at it look very closely at the body lines and make sure that they line up very closely, check under the car for any nasty looking welds, that is a huge red flag. And check the engine bay, if the car is pieced together then chances are they missed a few spots when slapping paint on it, check for more that one color on all 4 corners under the car. also check for excessive rust under the car on the floorboards and frame rails, rust means it wasnt properly taken care of and can be catastrophic, and take it for a drive if all of that other stuff checks out, if it doesnt drive straight in the back its a bad deal, if it pulls to one side or the other chances are it needs an alignment, but still be super cautious when buying classic muscle cars, people will try to screw you over more than you think
dense shard
Or they honestly think their crapcan is worth every penny.
"no lowballs, I know what I got"
opaque sand
true
floral canopy
Looks to be in great shape
opaque sand
@floral canopy that charger should have one of these engines, two different 383 engines available for the 1969 model year: 2-barrel and 4-barrel. The 2-barrel was rated at 290 hp. In 1969 the B-series engines were all painted Chrysler Engine Turquoise with the exception of the 4-barrel 383 four speed and 440 Magnum engines which were painted Chrysler "High-Performance Orange". As usual, the 426 Hemi was painted "Street Hemi Orange".
you can tell the engines by the color
dense shard
Is that gross horsepower or adjusted?
opaque sand
im pretty sure that its just flywheel hp
opaque sand
only 1k miles since it was put back together
dense shard
Well if you plan on driving it around, could be worth it.
opaque sand
if you want a street strip car its great, if you want a daily, its not

It does have disc brakes fitted, meaning you won't crap yourself at every stop.

meh, disc brakes are for babys, drum brakes are the way to go

Can't stand drums.

im gonna do a disc brake conversion on the back of my truck, im doing a frame off resto mod on an 89 f150
i already have all the parts im gonna need, but i just need the time

yeah, im gonna put the body of the ford on the frame of a dodge dakota, that way i can put a 360ci cammed and boosted v8 in it without making gustom motor mounts
and ill get the independent front suspension instead of the twin i beam that the ford has

@civic girder You must hate yourself

Should I have bought another Prius instead?

double hate

Either way, the RX-7 is different

the prius makes no sense in the Toyota line up
civic girder
Miatas are boring and generic at this point
everyone's seen them, everyone's modded one
gotta mix it up
vital glen
not for long
civic girder
a trashed Miata would have cost me $4k at least
vital glen
Yeah
civic girder
and an MR2 would have cost more
civic girder
the first gen and second gen are cool
especially the SW20
but, yea, RX-7 is a refreshing change of pace

@indigo coral the truth is the truth
indigo coral
doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it
vital glen
I am not saying he is dumb
I'm just saying that it's a bitch to work on
The rotary community is machoism incarnate
civic girder
"bitch to work on"
is mechanically simpler than a piston engine
vital glen
Well yes less moving parts
and mechanically simpler
does not mean not a bitch to work on
civic girder
idk about you, but having all the other bs would be much more painful
civic girder
have you ever owned a rotary?
vital glen
Worked on one with a friend
civic girder
and what exactly did you have to do?
vital glen
I sat around giving him tools and holding shit
He essentially rebuilt the engine because apex seals and new housings
vital glen
I would much rather work on a pushrod than a rotary again
civic girder
you have to get the rotors and housings resurfaced ofc, and get new coolant seals and apex seals, and whatever else you want to replace; and then just stack it all together and bolt it up
way easier than removing heads and cams and separating the block
vital glen
Sure........
civic girder
I don't see what's so shitty and annoying about it....
