*dominates the automotive scene and this board for decades and counting*Sometimes I wish ford or dodge had made an effort to compete in this market segment. Just think of all the great used sports cars we'd have if they did.The market would be so much more interesting. The corvette is literally the only choice for godly performance without some type of serious (and gay) compromises forced upon us by lesser manufacturers.>what about the viper?vette is faster, has v8, costs less, more reliable and still in production>what about the ford gtvette is faster, has v8, costs less, more reliable and still in production>what about japcrap and eurotrash?vette is faster, has v8, costs less, more reliable and still in productionThe corvette sells so well because there's zero competition, it's that simple.
>>28235095>So 6:42 never happened.then this never happened >>28233011> this means a GT3 Corvette and especially a GTLM would be faster than the GT3 GTR.Sure, post a video that backs up your claim like I did here lol >>28221928>the ZR1 is faster than the N attackSo segmented laps are valid then?>yea we do.No, we don't>its just made up.it's not, I have posted evidence here >>28221928>The video shows it clearly not doing the variant you claim a lap time forthat's why I am quoting a segmented time.>It didn't complete that segment. it exits into the GP circuit and enters from it.And? this >>28233011 had an extra chicane, and yet you are quoting Mero's segmented time with the chicane removed, seems valid to remove the GP section of a 24H variant lap if that's the case.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>28235594>That just means the GT-R would be even slower if you added that same chicane.Proofs?>8 minutes is slower than 7?7 minutes is slower than 6?>since "6:42" isn't a "lap"7:04 isn't a lap either.>and is slower than 5:39.this figure is literally irrelevant as it isn't the full Nordschleife segment
Lol
sorry meant to quote >>28233920 it's hilarious how the entire board made fun fo me
I test drove a c5 and was disappointed. The steering felt oddly heavy.
Why can’t the exhaust be rerouted to blow screws and nails away from tires? Or maybe a strong electric magnet mounted under the front bumper to pick up screws and nails before they ruin your tires?Yes, I got a screw in one of my Michelins today and I wasn’t even driving by a Tesla charger where screws and nails belong so I’m mad.
>>28235592put mesh over your exhaust outlet to keep the nails from falling out
What's the trick to driving through a flooded road without killing your engine?
>>28233397NANI!? TSUNAMI DORIFTO?!
>>28233317Try this simple trick.
>>28233415Don't drive too slow. The most ideal speed is when you enter slightly quick to propagate a wave through the water, then stay on the gas enough to follow closely behind the wave. That way you have less water to displace, and the water you are driving into is at a lower level = less chance of hydrolocking
>>28233317Well from personal experience definitely don't drive fast through them with no hood and an open throttle body. Engines don't like ingesting mud/water very much.
>>28235426That kid looks shopped in.
A few months ago, VW said that they would lay off 200,000 German autoworkers. This also affects 2,000,000 other German workers who works in the supply chain, from parts supply, to raw materials, to servicemen.But now China will take over VW plants and manufacture cheap EVs.Thoughts?
>>28233069I haven't seen one chinese car on the road
>>28233463Chink cocksucker detected
>>28233069these are the plants volkswagen is planning to close btwthere were rumors that nio was gonna buy audis belgian factory too but that didnt materialized>>28233094leapmotor(part owned by stellantis)is already building cars at poland ckd but countschery bought nissans plant in spain byd has opening factories in hungary and turkey>>28234270i see a shitton of cheries with some byds here(turkey)
>>28233447Even Biden in his last year saw this coming and put a crazy high tariff on Chinese cars.
>>28235599I thought americans liked the free market, why are they putting tariffs on the cars people actually want (cheap Chinese EVs)?
Is cutting up traffic or “swimming” really wrong if you’re actually good at it?
>slower traffic blocking the passing lane>room to pass on the right>waaaaah driving faster than the boomer barricade is wroooongIf slower traffic kept right, it would be impossible to "cut up traffic". Faster drivers would be forced to pass on the left, in a passing lane. It's really the whole point of having more than one lane.
>>28234262Well that's encouraging but disappointing. Maybe its better to leave them in their containment zone so they don't fly off the mountain and fuck up another scene in leased BMWs.
>>28234261>SwimmedGod damn if baffles me how a generation that grew up reading from a phone have such terrible grammar.
>>28230727It's $481 here lole
Cutting up is boring as all get out after staying in the mountains too long and using both lanes. Most corners are a gamble on something.
>>28231741because my car came with a red one
>>28232068I hate wires hanging down around the dash, so I just put it through the trim peice. The phone mount was temporary for a road trip anyway, I don't usually keep it mounted.
>>28231741Oh shit. A thread I can participate in.

Ford should instead make it shorter, give it a new styling, a new name, and turn it into an entry-level RWD Ecoboost sports car. Like a baby mustang.
>>28235432there's no performance pack on the ecoboost anymore
>>28235435
>>28228713They should make a Miata competitor if they want to make 4 cylinders.
>>28228713Or you could buy a real car like a BMW M3 or Audi RS3
>>28235432>>28235435>>28235451There were barely any cars with it in 2024 (I only found 2 in the entire capithole of Cuntifornia, for example) and they removed it in 2025. For the price (and BS markups due to 'rare' option), you could just get a GT anyway
How do they do it?How does Lexus tower over other car makers for reliability?
>>28235422True, their engines are so SOVLfvl that they commit sudoku at like 888 miles; very lucky
>>28235425>justifiying bmw>relationship analogy with they/them pronounscoincidence?>>28235430based reply
all lexass has going for it is reliability.germshit has better interior/tech and driving dynamics
>>28235526well and germans actually use new, larger battery packs for their hybrids, especially mercedes, toyota will still sell you a sub ONE kwh nickel hydride packthe ONLY manufacturer, I know of, still using nickel non-lithium batteries
>>28235392"Old car good" is not a meme and why /o/ glorifies decades-old shitboxes
What do you guys think about the new Tokyo extreme racer game?
i wish there was a penalty for losing races. winning by repeatedly challenging drivers and waiting for them to crash takes some of the joy of winning away. i need to feel pain and anger
>>28235479there is no worse punishment than getting told your new nickname is "loser"
>>28225763it's based>>28225803for an early access game there is a ton of content. i played it the entire past weekend and still have a ton of things to do. also i've only come across a single bug in that time and it's very minor (the "unread" icon on a on the menu won't disappear even though i read everything).on the steam page it says they plan to release the full game in 4 months so they don't plan to milk EA for years like a lot of other games do.>>28227571>>28227901calling it free is inaccurate but they plan to increase the price when it leaves EA so it is at a discount.
>>28235394>Dejected Angel is a qt3.14 What would Midnight Rose and Shadow Eyes be like?
>>28229346i liked wangan midnight and initial d but i wouldn't say i'm a hardcore weeb or anything. i rarely watch anime. it just has a really addictive sense of progression, anyone can enjoy it.

>>28235253That thing is fucking clapped. C6? Love the stacks. Would give you $3k if you were within a state or two of Idaho but that looks like east coast to me.
>>28235515Get fucked, that picture is from Oregon where I bought it for $1200. C6, 6.9 IDI, US Gear overdrive, Dana 70HD, now 20% unclapped, not for sale.
They’ve been growing on me what are some redpills on owning one
>>28235513That has to suck, i just pulled the motor on my 72 bay gonna have the transmission rebuilt. Planing on a full restoration down the road but no money now.
no one will make an aircooled V8 ever again
>>28235516>VW looks at the shitshow that was the Electric Fiat 500 and says, "I think we can top that."The nu-beetle beat the nu-500 by a decade, both were on sale side by side
>>28233972They're not complicated and they're not very powerful. There's simply not much to go wrong.
>>28235537a Fiat Stilo. Basically is much better in every aspect. From road grip in corners, to space, to maintenance... .

Has anyone installed a Torsen? I'm debating paying someone or doing myself. I've had it on a shelf for probably 5 or 6 years.
Miatas are overrated and kind of cringe ngl.
>>28235429If it's the whole pumpkin, stop being a fag and bolt the fucker in. If you just have the diff itself, it's probably better to pay someone.
>>28235429I'm in the market for a 4.3 torsen myself.
>>28232226>>How long would it take me to learn how to drive a manual transmission?it depends on how much you drive it but my guess for the average person:>a couple hours to feel comfortable enough to use it outside of a parking lot>a week before you stop stalling regularly>a month before you can drive it like an auto without thinking
Anyone have one of these far infrared systems in their car? Is it useful at all?I've seen a few manufacturers like Jeep, Buick, BMW and Mercedes include it in some of their vehicles. Are they worth the extra cost?
>>28231926Cut your brake lights and run from the police.
>>28233589Sure, but you can buy five Audis for the same price.
>>28233604>I hate how they always use low CRI 6000KThe Chinese love blue lights for some reason. It signifies the great prosperity of chinrr
>>28233915Might want to see a doctor about that.

youre car has optional tassel loafers right anon?
>>28235283No wonder mexicans love beamers so much
>>28234282>$1000 (adjusted) for a couple wrenches, sockets, pliers, and a ratcher
>>28235459Cheaper than snap-on
>>28234282Nobody wears loafers any more, Grandpa.

A Ram Rebel 1500 (picrel). Approx. $71000 CAD.My age: 30My occupation: software engineer (work-from-home)My income: $70kMy height: 5'7
>>28234599Rams have always been fucking fuel pigs despite having 16 fucking spark plugs. The Fords and the GM's are much better on fuel. Gas is also not $3/L in real Canada.
>>28234172>>28234176I thought the Australian market was fucked but I saw some examples of the shittiest looking houses in Canada being listed for more than a fucking estate in France. Shit is cooked, I really feel for you bro.
>>28235472It's not like that everywhere in Canada. It's just overpopulated cesspools like Toronto and Hongcouver with prices like that. I live in a really expensive city of a little over a million people but I can get a recently renovated ~1k sq.ft bungalow in a decent area for around $500k maplebucks. That's bad but it's still what euros would have to pay for a flat half that size. Of course you can also live in the leaf equivalent of a flyover small town area and get a house on a few acres of land for $100k or less. If you can work from home you better not be bitching about unrealistic housing costs.
>>28234126Did you save up $71k to buy that turd? If not then you can't afford it based on your salary a 7.1k truck would be more fitting.
>>28234126Get a 2022 and save $25k.
