@civic girder considering that my BMW 5 series GT oh has about 12k miles, I'd say that it's an unreliable piece of crap. But, it's under warranty and it was something that was really uncommon to break

we used to havwe audi 80

we had to make a hole in the wall because the car was too long

devout atlas
#

am I tripping, or did the '65 c2 stingray come with a fricking 425HP 396 cubic inch V8?

#

jesus

#

p o w e r

#

and the '67 427 cubic inch ones came with 435

#

nice

#

I can imagine the number of people who fricking died in that thing

devout atlas

imagine going from 435hp v8s to fricking 100 hp v8s in the malaise era

me wishing for nothing except a good deal on a panther body

drop a 427

mhmm

#

imagine getting a town car

for under 1.1k

that'd be schweet

but the town cars come with nicer interior and shit

#

also a more supple ride

#

the long wheelbase models are aight too

#

hell, I need to come there via flight first

then, I can get to getting a panther

god, I love panthers

#

A car wrap doesn't increase the value of a $150,000 car.

#

Can someone tell the owner that?

stoic ledge
#

Everybody on FB did 0_KEKWatching

civic spoke
#

If anything, the wrap would decrease the value of such a car.

#

Since you'll have to remove the wrap.

stoic ledge
#

I'd say it decreased, definitely

#

And it won't sell for it's reserve, I'm sure

civic spoke
#

Most 650S are around the $150,000 range. Give or take.

#

I have no idea what extra options that has that would increase the price.

fossil imp
#

MSO options are very expensive, but lookin at his taste in wrap i doubt it has any

civic spoke
#

Wrap probably cost more than most expensive option.

#

So the sports exhaust for $6,600

stoic ledge

has stealth pack
Installs no-stealth wrap

boi

stoic ledge
#

Yes

civic girder
#

Called the first shop. They're going to look into it and call me back with a quote.

#

Going to wait a bit and call the next one, they'll probably also have to call me back so I want to space them out to avoid overlapping return calls

@civic girder what was wrond with it?

carmine summit

twin superchargers? weak

#

this has twelve 8-71 blowers

fathom socket
#

but does it have VTEC

static canopy
#

bahaha

carmine summit
#

On most Hondas VTEC activates at like 5000rpm right? That engine won't rev that high

#

It'll rev to like 4000 max, if that even

dense shard
#

Depends on the engine.

#

The basic "VTEC" will turn on at 3-4k.

#

"brisk acceleration"

#

0-60 is 10.5 seconds.

devout atlas
#

that's brisk

dense shard
#

It was back in the early 90s.

#

These days. 10+ seconds 0-60 is pretty sedate.

devout atlas
#

I wonder how the c2 stingrays, with their 427 cu in 435 hp v8s did

dense shard
#

Fast.

#

4... maybe 5 seconds?

indigo coral

i wish mine was fast PES_Cry

civic girder
#

"""435hp"""

#

on a bare engine with no accessories or anything else and running on an engine dyno

#

Maybe barely 200 at the wheels KEKW

devout atlas
#

Maybe barely 200 at the wheels KEKW
@civic girder wot?

#

this is the '67 427

#

not some malaise shit

#

they actually made power back then

civic girder
#

Yea, but back then everything was still pretty restrictive

#

the engine does make 435, but the car would never see anywhere close to that at the wheels with all the accessories and the long geared restrictive transmissions they used

#

Malaise was just straight up no power, not even on a bare engine with no accessories

dense shard
#

435... so what. That's still 300+ horsepower in the end.

#

And a lot of the end game American muscle cars and the such had astoundingly short gearing.

#

Apparently gear it right/wrong you could approach max speed by the end of a quarter mile. Pogey

As polarizing as Shmee is. He's getting more confident in his driving.

He's enthusiastic and knows how to drive

Unlike supercarblondie who's fucking annoying and forgot the parking brake in a classic ferrari

also she consequently missed gears

That was painful to watch

I too would shoot a Toyota Prius.

frank tundra

she appeals to the general public

only real problem i have with her is she takes away from attention from actual automotive youtubers who actually know what theyre talking about

and not just reading a script

stoic ledge

I don't like blondy nor shmee

frank tundra
#

blondie worked "hard" for her success sure

#

but she dosent actually know what the fuck anything she says means

#

its just a script

#

shes probably read so many scripts by now shes caught on but her success is purely based off the fact she has access to one-off cars

#

and concept cars

#

rather give the attention she or shmee gets to someone in chrisfix' genre so people can actually learn a thing or 2 LUL

mine doesn't have a turbo and gets 201 or so

stoic ledge

Mine doesn't have a turbo and gets 83 or so

the 4 barrel has an ecoboost and gets 250

main aurora

a 3 cyl 1.5 (the 2l without its 4th cyl) vs a 1.5/1.6 4 cylinder? I imagine theres better torque out of the three cyl, especially with a turbo

Ahz that's the Focus ST engine then probably

3 cyl is the 1.5 EcoBoost, yes

internal bleeding
internal organ damage

So does the side impact without airbags πŸ‘€

crisp jolt

is it supposed to crumple like a tin can?

dense shard
#

yes.

#

Modern crumple zones are indeed supposed to crumple.

Tho the passenger cell isn't supposed to deform like that.

#

Even in 2001.

stoic ledge
#

But not like that

#

^ yes

crisp jolt
#

i think they over did it

stoic ledge
#

Passenger compartment should basically be intact

crisp jolt
#

the impact with the a beam is just adding salt to the wound

stoic ledge
#

Ok maybe side impact

#

But front it's better

dense shard
#

airbags are probably one of the most wonderful developments in modern cars.

crisp jolt
#

the next improvement was apparently cut resistant airbags

#

and my earlier comment was confirmed with the partial side impact test on the 2020 escape. if you hit anything at a decent speed, the computer will be smashed to bits

#

that's probably the least of your concerns though

stoic ledge
#

With a side impact, it'll probably be totalled anyways

crisp jolt
#

you'd need a new tire..and tire assembly..because it's rolled away

So a BMW, Subaru, and a Corolla.

umbral hull
#

anything else is just whack

dense shard
#

uhhhh, ok?

#

Not sure why the hate on eco focus.

umbral hull

because i was raised in a family with obsession for cars and for me a car has to sound like a car, not like a freaking old mans city scooter

is the answer

If you are obsessed with cars, you can appreciate the sheer amount of engineering that goes into a modern EV or hybrid.

why the hate?

Engines are more powerful, more efficient, and cleaner than ever before.

there's nothing more satisfying than a good sounding gasoline engine

at least for me

I'm honestly not a huge fan of noise.

I don't mind CVTs.

#

Nor do I mind automatics.

devout atlas
#

they're fine

dense shard
#

I do mind automated clutch or dual clutch set ups.

devout atlas
#

I like driving cheap auomatic runabouts

#

you feel like you're doing 100, but you're doing legal speeds

#

so that's nice

dense shard
#

I know there's the "car guy" flex.

#

But frankly I think that anyone who enjoys driving is pretty nifty.

devout atlas
#

for example, I like driving my mum's cheap hyundai cvt runabout

if that's your thing, power to you

If your thing is Mustangs, Supras, and Corvettes, nice.

devout atlas

it's slow car slow until you're doing 70, where it becomes slow car fast

If your thing is Mustangs, Supras, and Corvettes, nice.
@dense shard *or panther bodies

panthers?

eh, I wanna own one

suspension more uncertain than a high school girl about her clothing choices? yeah

dense shard
#

Suspension is sorted enough.

#

It's just glacial, handles poorly, burns a shit ton of fuel, and the interior quality was disappointing 20 years ago.

#

To put it simply. It's a Ford.

devout atlas
#

the engine is also super de-tuned

dense shard
#

I wouldn't say it's detuned.

#

Ford was doing the best they could.

#

Ultimately that was 300 horsepower.

devout atlas
#

no, not really

#

the marquis' and vics

#

made 210-233

dense shard
#

I'm talking about the Mustang.

#

That maxed out at 300 at the end of that engine's life span.

#

It started out with maybe 230 when it was released in the early 90s.

devout atlas
#

oh yeah, the SOHC4.6 was no fast 'un

dense shard
#

It made exactly 0 horsepower more than the 5.0.

#

Understressed... maybe.

#

But Ford really didn't seem to be aiming for that.

devout atlas
#

yeah

#

they were like: this is for old people. Make it old people-y

dense shard
#

The Crown Vic, sure.

#

It was the work horse of the line up.

devout atlas
#

yep

#

and the cheapest panther, besides the marquis and the p71

#

that you can buy

not all fords are bad

Not all Fords are bad.

our SHO is nice

despite being a Taurus

devout atlas

NO fords are bad

dense shard
#

Ford tends to release a great product, but never follow up.

indigo coral
#

Weelll the focuses and fiestas with the powershit trans are bad cars

plain and simple

dense shard
#

The Focus, Fusion, and Taurus from the 10s were all brilliant on launch.

Ford NEVER updated them.

that's subjective, and also, the maserai quattroporte exists

I'm surprised that ford had the balls to drop a fucking v6 in a ford gt

#

that new gt has a lot of nerve being alive

indigo coral

I heard they might be killing the V8 in the mustang

#

making it 4cyl only

devout atlas
#

I heard they might be killing the V8 in the mustang
@indigo coral and I'd kill them

indigo coral

Lol

devout atlas
#

it'll just drive up sn95 prices

#

owo

indigo coral
#

is the mustang the last ford with a v8?

devout atlas
#

eh, i dunno

indigo coral
#

or do they still have them in trucks?

#

I know msot of the trucks are 4cyl or v6 now

devout atlas
#

ye

#

i dunno man

indigo coral
#

ford = PogDumb

#

they used to make better cars

#

now they lost their way

#

bigtime

devout atlas
#

dropping the v8 is a good way of driving sn95 and later generation prices

#

the sn95 is the perfect teenager first car rn

#

hence all the mustang crashes

#

they used to make better cars
@indigo coral yes

indigo coral

is the Lexus GS-F the last NA V8 RWD sedan?

devout atlas

is the Lexus GS-F the last NA V8 RWD sedan?
@indigo coral hmm, there's the b- holy shit, you might be right

the IS-F was cool too

the lincoln sedans exist

the lc500 doesn't count bc its a sports car

devout atlas

I can't believe that lincoln isn't selling v8 cars

#

disgraceful

even the black label is not v8

yup

M5 is turbo and AWD right?

the caddies have a Twin turbo v8 though

no big deal

@dense shard you were right. The american car industry is no longer 'american'. The most american car i can think of is the G90, which is korean

they wanted to offset the weight from the roof mechanism?

#

@turbid onyx have you heard anything of Fiat going to use the new eVMP-platform from PSA? The platform looks very promising POG

#

And unless I'm mistaken... it looks like RWD to me πŸ‘€

#

CMP... so like a new Punto πŸ‘€

#

Nice

#

But Fiat 500 5-door... gas or electric? Or both

#

Probably just what the Punto should be, but naming it a 500

#

And then the PSA drivetrains?

#

Curious to see what they come up with

#

Strange for Fiat to not have a B-segment car like the Punto... That's one of the best selling segments

#

Well the 1.2 PureTech engines are praised throughout Europe, one of the best small 3-cyl gas engines

For diesels, they have fairly new 1.5 HDI's if you want that

And for the eCMP platform, there's a 100kW/136hp + 50kWh setup

#

That's why you should share a platform DogeWink Or co-develop something

#

No 50kWh battery for the eCMP

#

BEV

#

Like the e-208, Corsa-e, e-2008, DS 3 E-Tense

#

100kW/136hp engine, 50kWh battery

#

That would make the car higher

#

They didn't want that

#

They platform was designed from the start with EV in mind, but they just wanted it to be exactly like the regular version

#

Yes, it's basically center console, under the seats etc

#

Ah sure, but it's modular so that's the whole point

#

They could also so some shoddy hacky whacky stuff like Mini, end raise the entire car like 4cm up to create a battery floor

#

Imho it's a well thought out platform for what it's intended for

#

Pure EV platform would probably have a different layout/structure, but for a cross between gas and BEV it's great
