Let's say you are about to buy a car, and there are 2 versions. One version is a turbo inline 6, and the other version is a naturally aspirated V8. Both versions have the same price, torque, horsepower, and weight. Which car do you buy?
>>28920402This isn't proven in real world driving.My 5.3 Silverado is getting better mpg than the 3.5 mild hybrid f150
>>28919338NA I6
Parallel Hybrid V6 with eCVT
>>28921166>An I6 is somewhat long and thin, so it might fit into the engine bay Tetris around something else or vice versaNot really. the length matters the most, not the width A v8 is 4 cylinders long which means it is easier to package into cars
>>28919338If all else equal, why would you pick a smaller displacement motor that has turbo lag? Even the best turbo setup has lag, if the tq/hp is the same on the v8 and let's say the power delivery curve is similar then the bigger displacement NA v8 is superior because it'll have instant throttle response, making it more controllable at its limits, if all else equal
Welcome to 4chan's Offroad General - where high ground clearance meets low IQ. If it hasn't rolled over yet, you aren't trying hard enough. Post your 4x4 trucks and SUVs. This thread is for the guys who actually leave the pavement and have the broken CV axles to prove it.Previous thread: >>28815324
>>28921325different fender liners i meant. i maybe trim the fenders for 35si dont really plan on 35s anywaythey do look nice tho
>>28921325>little tanks and cheap guns wont cut it.Bullshit.I literally just used a harbor freight air hammer with a 2&1/2 gallon pancake compressor to pop some rivets.It takes less than 2 seconds. The other 28 seconds is grinding, switching tools, trying to get in a comfortable position...I will never drill a rivet again. That shit sucks.
>>28921330thats something to think about. im going down to my boss shop this weekend to use his welder. Maybe i can just use his shop for all this. Im work in the logging industry, he all the stuff i could use. I put the rest of it on in my driveway, so it can be done without a shop.
>>28920142It's not that they can't, it's that they shouldn't. Mainly because their owners are...problematic.
Give me ONE reason as to why i shouldnt buy a hummer H1/Humvee and paint it hot pink and turn it into a open top car
>>28920612Even in concept art she had nothing to give a shit about
>>28917517>In states like California and Colorado it doesn't matter what you do, you will never be able to register it for street use.They still exist. They use a Montana LLC and register and insure it under the LLC.
>>28917495>i'll try to see if i can import one from afghanistani mean at that point just import a diesel GX patrol/land cruiser 70 truck/milspec g wagon, they'd last way longer and you can actually get replacement parts for them. hell, it would probably be cheaper and less of a hassle than the hmmwv, and you'd still probably be denied registration in every state but texas
>>28910021there's a really cheap one just around the corner from me
>>28921268then draw her however you want>>28921751i'm a yuropoor so getting the HUMVEE and registering it would be easier akthually.
The Supra with the B58 engine is dying. Will it be missed? Was it a success? I am thinking of FOMO purchasing one.
>>28919502If you hated the Supra for steering feel and slow shift, you'd hate C7 more.
>>28921565Except you can shift a C7 as fast as your arm.
>>28921582Supra has a better manual too if you want
>>28921357That can be easily fixed for around $500 aftermarket and the Final Edition has that fixed from the factory.
Poorfag cope thread, i have a 23 GR86 in manual and a 25 GR Supra in manualAMAt. Strayan cunt
>>28922190Oh I know, we should regulate our market even harder daddy
>>28922661If anything, China has better checks and balances than our country at preventing a corporation from having more power than government. I mean look at our country now, the corporations have our politicians by the balls. They don't want the same fate
>>28922612That's a Peugeot 5008
>>28922677They just literallly annihilate any industry that even slightly says something out of line. It's not checks and balances it is destruction of competition
>>28922612That's more of a chinese driver problem than a chinese car problem, but your point is still taken.
Toyota engine dead @ 38k miles. What is happening with these engines and why did they ditch the V8 for this turbo'd V6 engine?

>>28919410Reread that. It was a rhetorical question, not a statement, ESLcel.
>>28919411>galled cams would like to have a word with you
>>28918375>>28918636Once upon a time, there were only straight weight oils. The numbers don't really mean anything, for example a 50 weight engine oil is the same viscosity as a 90 weight gear oil. What's important is that each weight corresponded to a recommended operating temperature range, with 50 weight being recommended for higher ambient temperatures than 40 weight, and so on. Weights below 30 were labeled with a W for Winter, since they were recommended for maximum temperatures below what most of the country sees for most of the year. So you'd see oil jugs labeled SAE 10W, SAE 20W, SAE 30, SAE 40.Eventually, split-weight oils were invented. These have a broader operating range than straight weight oils. So a 10W-30 will have a similar low end to its recommended operating range to a straight 10W, and a similar high end to a straight 30. Through a combination of no one actually knowing how oil weights work and the weight rating developed in the 1920s not being able to meaningfully model modern synthetic oils, we've reached a point where all oils have about as wide of an operating range as you could possibly need, and the difference between a 0W-10 and a 5W-40 has nothing to do with ambient temperature, but it's now a scale between marginally better fuel economy and marginally better wear protection.
>>28917201Only a black tar heroin silicon valley techbro retard would complain about a car being "outdated"
>>28922679people have been bitching about toyota interiors and tech being outdated for ages. they want all the newest gizmos, bells and whistles...buy a merc if you want that
>6.7 litersthey picked that displacement on purpose, didnt they?
>>28922351>he's still trying to use wide valve for performanceIt's not 1980 anymore grandpa, a narrow intake valve angle with a straight vertical port flows better.
>>28922539Like this?
>>28922594like this

Just went to a dealer to reserve my rav4 woodland everest. Oh boy I can’t wait for it be the shitty light version after waiting 4 months. Seriously though, why is it so hard to just order a car the way I want it? Its just fucking paint.
>>28918518Notice how every day some NPC is reserving or buying some shitass toyota model and blowing hard about dealers and APR?That's because it's shilling. It's not really happening. These faggots are not genuine.
>>28918518You gotta daily something. A hybrid CUV is a pretty logical choice.
>>28918188checked
>>28918188is there like two different paints going on or something?
>>28918305It's still a soulless NPC cuckbox. Giving it a funny color doesn't fix that.
And yet people still didn't buy it
>>28920922>Some of us don't just run straight line numbers.Even on a track an S-Type R would smoke a Rover 75. Even a base V6 S-Type would still smoke a Rover 75.>Where do you put your cupholders in your drag car?In the centre console, where else do you think? Ironically there are no cupholders in OP's picture.>You could get a V8 rwd Rover 75 btwYeah, with a 4.Slow Ford V8 and a 4 Speed Automatic, with just over half the power of the Jaguar (256 BHP compared to 400 BHP)
>>28920817>Wasn't this a Volvo?Nope, it's kind of a FWD mix of an E39 and E46
>>28920576They were really badly built and most came with the infamous K-series engine. The diesel cars used a BMW engine that was better but they were all driven into the ground. I'm sure they would have been comfy for the first six months but Rover interiors tended to just fall apart pretty quickly. There was also competition in the "big, unreliable, comfy" car segment from Citreon, which was somehow better built, or if you just wanted a large saloon that wasn't German you could have bought a Volvo or Saab.
>>28920576If we go by gold price,20k in the year 2000 is enough to buy 75 ounces of gold.75 ounces of gold in 2026 is worth over 300k.Thats a 300k car.

is this sustainable or just a random happenstance?
>>28922192>future Yeah and when? Future can be 1 year, 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years etc. You know what else is "future"? Your death.

>>28922455Considering the insane pace batteries and electric motors are improving, I'd say 10 years at the absolute latest before most of the car fleet is replaced. In five years time majority of car sales in first world countries will be EV.

Not saying much but this looks way better than that chink shit BMW is doing. I predict total sales collapse for BMW for the next gen.
>its realhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>28920403The 7 and S class are so well positioned. The 7 is sporty and still fun to drive the S is floaty and comfort maxing. Idk that they collapse either way. It will be old people choosing the X7 or GLS that gets them. You may not like to hear it but the 7 series is an amazing car even if it’s ugly af. It does everything so well
