The GR86 with a slightly better interior, a 350hp engine, brembos, and a $15,000 price bump would be amazing and beat everything else out there.So why can't they do it? > just won't because it undercuts everything (but then Hyundai would fucking do it, but maybe they can't technically)> the current engine's boxer layout actually matters and an I6 or a more powerful I4 would fuck with the dynamics> the transmission, brakes, and tires can't handle it and the whole car would be re-engineered> I am missing something and it wouldn't be actually viableWhich one is it really?Pic unrelated btw. Turbo lag a shit. It would be shit if Honda gave them the Type R engine because the powerband a shit.
>>61243804Uh, wrong board frens, feel free to delete or discuss why it's not marketable at 45k. Mods, if you want to move to /o/...
>>61243804Too dangerous for the kind of retard that buys one of these cars, they'd get liftoff oversteer and roll it into a ditch crushing the roof and their head with it. Then their parents would sue toyobaru for making a deathtrap.
>>61243804Not an autofag by any means but shill me Brembos, what's the hype?
>>61243804buy a giulia, tune it, and now you have a 350hp rwd sportscar with a proper suspension instead of McDonald's copeStruts. >bonus points: the engine isn't built by subaru and won't blow up if you go sideways.
No thanks fren /biz/ is a v8 board only
>>61243804you are not even allowed to buy a gr86 here in germanistan since they were only sold for a year or so.
>>61244108On traditional original brakes, you have one piston (thingy that pushes the brake pad to disk) in the middle. This pushes it unevenly to a very minor degree and so you don't get as much friction. They are also small, so they don't push as hard (though there is a whole other thing there about the master cylinder, brake booster, etc, but for simplicity's sake) and it also heats up. When brakes heat up too much, they boil the brake fluid (which transfers force) and they stop working.So Brembos (and Wilwood, and whatever the fuck else):> has more pistons that push more evenly> bigger - more force and heats slowerThat's it, it's not magic. They are also made of decent material and usually work with more expensive pads and rotors. You also often have a bigger pad.>>61244371Not fucking with Alfa Romeo maintenance. Yes, they are supposedly not as bad as they are said to be, but still.>>61244382GT is alright fren, especially that gen. New gen is kind of a pigfat shit, despite the Dark Horse being a little faster than the Mach 1.>>61244386So ist das Leben in Deutschland. P.S. I always thought it was "ins whatever" or "auf whatever", not just "in".
>>61243804Why do so many fags care about shitty econoboxes? Like a 350 hp engine...in 2025 that's like something for a mom boomer suv
>>61243804Am I the only one who grew up and stopped messing with modified cars after 25? I prefer a comfy and quiet touring car nowadays
>>61243804There would definitely be some amount of required re-engineering just to fit the wider tires you’d need for that power from factory. I also think it defeats the purpose of the car. It’s a car to learn RWD with for young and inexperienced drivers. These things are already wrecked constantly if you gave it 350 hp insurance rates would triple.Also more practically, it would too closely compete with the Supra
>>61245077To each their own, that’s the great thing about cars, there’s so many ways to enjoy them. At 35 I still enjoy building cars for the track and trying to wring every bit of time I can out of a chassis
>>61245063Here is your (you).>>61245077Nah, most people. >>61245088> Also more practically, it would too closely compete with the SupraI do think that's the real issue.The Supra is the best sports car on the market right now if staying under the M2 price range, but it's larger and heavier.
>>61245103Yeah when I first got into tracking I rode along with an instructor in his stock Supra. That thing fucking rippedI just wish they werent so ugly
