>turbo corvette superchargerbros…the Europeans are cucking us…
>>27840325>>27840350>>27840379If you put a turbo kit on the 5.2 v10 from r8/huracan you could easily get in the ballpark of 1k bhp with pump gas and relativaly low boost with no changes to the engine internals. And it almost revvs to 9k rpm (8700 rpm stock)
>>27841146No warranty, $200k+ car and 50k+ turbo kit (installed). It does rev to over 8k but all the turbo kits I know of don't do over 1k hp on 91 octane. They all need 100 octane to go over 1000 hp.Just admit what Chevy did is impressive. It is.
>>27840266If Trump wins he'll appoint someone to cuck the epa>>27841280It kinda is but just wait until the new nissan gtr drops with 1200 hp from the factory with a twin turbo v6With a warranty
Not using turbo is a waste of power directly out of exhaust. And no, it will not have a rocket effect but it could spin the turbo blades.
>>27841310Nissan can't even afford to make a new GTR and if they do it will be 600hp at most non-nismo and the nismo will cost $300,000
found this neat article from 2011 on best handling cars of that year.

>>27842127A bunch of rentals on that list, am I supposed to be impressed?
What supercars are the most reliable and need the least maintenance?
>>27840536How did 911s compare to GT3s?
>>27840536How’s the Italians? I only ever hear bad shit about them but they’re still the gold standard
>>27840681We never had 911's with our specific fleet, so I couldn't tell you. The only Porsches we had were 3 GT3's, but they were awesome. As long as you have a lift, really not that bad to service either. >>27841093As far as Italians go, we had 458's, 488's, and Huricans. The Huricans were decent. We had some fuel issues with both of ours from time to time, but they were otherwise pretty okay. They were definitely shitty to work on though, as you'd expect. One of the Lambos went down for a while because we adjusted the seat so many times between all the customers that it sawed through the main wiring harness that ran under the drivers seat and the car shut down when a customer was driving, kek. The Ferraris were not bad, but we did have a couple of turbo issues. The biggest issues with the Ferraris were getting parts. we had to have a friend of the shop who was on good terms with Ferrari buy our parts for us since those pastaniggers didn't like our operation and wouldn't sell any parts to us. The Ferrari is way more fun to drive than the Lambo, imo. But everyone at the shop's favorite car to drive was always either the GT3 or the AMG GTS.
>>27840536Exotics Las Vegas?If not, we had very similar results.Although I'd put the GT-R at the top of the most reliable list.It was also faster than most cars around the track.McClarens broke down a lot but customer service was top notch.>McClaren breaks down- they send a flatbed and ask for as many details leading up to the failure as possible. Fix cat and send it back as quickly as possible.>Ferrari finds out we have one of their cars- warranty void, VIN blacklisted, another threatening letter received in the mail.
>>27839904Anything thats basically a metal frame with some form of Ford or Chevy OHV V8 in it. So basically kit cars.

>>27840875No? I enjoy driving them, and they do everything a car should. What else matters? I was more embarrassed driving my npcmobile mazda 3 because I felt like a chump.R32 sounds amazing, is fun to drive, and unique.The manual crv I bought purely for practically, but it's also way more fun to drive than the mazda 3, and the interior is awesome If attention is what you are craving, I guarantee anyone who actually cares about cars is going to be more impressed with you taking the time and finding a rarer enthusiast/interesting car, than they would be by you taking out a loan.
>>27840277>>2013>>CABLE THROTTLE>Those've been gone since the early 00's m8I suspect it feels like a cable because it responds directly instead of going through some microwaved ECU map and then a 900ms delay for "muh emissions" or some bullshit
New car.As part of the deal, get dealer to clear wrap the front bumper and hood.It has to be ordered. Damn, OK.Drive car carefully for one week, neurotically avoiding anything to do with rocks or dirt.Finally take the car back to the dealer to have it wrapped. Looks great, or so it seems.Get car home in garage lighting, notice a ding in the hood THEY PUT THE FUCKING WRAP OVER.Open hood. OF COURSE there's shit in the way so it can't be rubbed out from the backside.Otherwise the wrap job is flawless. I dunno how they missed it, but it's one of those don't notice until you notice it, and then you spot it every time things.If they caught it it could have been pulled and touched up, now the only option is to pull the wrap.Every new car gets its cherry busted at some point I guess.
>>27838112for the same price you could've gotten lightly used american muscle with a V8....I had similar buyer's remorse when I got my WRX but just deal with it lol
I mog you
>>27841527The us is what europ wants to be>look at the fucking EU it's just a shitted up US copycat>also eurobros shitting on old muricayachts until they drive them and fall in love

>>27840907bus in the midwest? Mom?
>>27840916Op's pic would be in an older lower-middle class neighborhood populated by seniors for the most part. The size of the lots and the house style suggests it was built in the 70's as ranch-style homes (long, single level) haven't really been a thing since then as they cost more to heat, and cool, than two-story homes.As for the yards, well, that's mostly boomer competition. They actually *like* mowing the yard. The more expensive the equipment used, the better. Boomers also explains that street because guess who has nothing better to do than call City Hall/County Seat all day long and complain that there's a crack that will turn into a pothole and there'll be hell to pay if it does since his (distant) relative is a Judge! Times that by at least the amount of houses you can see.
>>27841972The EU was great until it decided to negrofy itself and basically ruin anything about Europe that was good. Now it's just Baltimore with pretty buildings.
been searching for this VW california/transporter kit.. can't fins it anywhere. Any clues?

>>27842142nothing much, car.
>>27842135ugly af
>Renault Clio 1.6l, 80k miles, £2000>Ford Fiesta1.4l ,110k miles, £1200my two options right now, which is the least retarded choice?just need a car to fuck about in

>>27841552Why
>>27841092>Assumes 60 down a dirt track is "speeding".Lol, you got cucked by bushes and dirt.
>>27841896No one sane does 60 on these, as you can get other drivers going towards you, horse riders, senpai machinery etc. it's a two way track most likely this is what you get in the UK lol
>>27841971u just sound like a massive pussy lmaohave fun on the highway
> I’m a truck driver of course I don’t use my turn signal> I’m a truck driver of course I go 10 miles or more below the speed limit > I’m a truck driver it takes me 13 seconds to get up to the speed limit > I’m a truck driver of course I drive like I’m the only car on the road> I’m a truck driver I take up entire parking spaces and have to park next to you
>>27841516Sounds absolutely correct
>>27841568>No, those don't count!!!okay dude
>>27841245I imagine it doesn't matter if there actually was a deer or not. as long as you thought there was a deer hitting the brakes is a reasonable manuever.
>>27842015It was very specific and very cool just not a very good pickup.
Teenager Jeets always drive these massive trucks around, it's definitely because they're dicklets
Lets say I have a junkyard 1.5L 4 cyl 1970s shitbox. Got it for 150$, seems to run fine. I want to fit it with a turbocharger from a modern shitbox with the same engine displacement, an antilag system (seems extremely simple, an Arduino, a vacuum sensor and two servos should do the job just fine) and a new exhaust bc of the whole turbo thing.My questions are:How likely is it that the engine will die in the first kilometer?(im ok if it dies on the second)How to calculate the exhaust properly? (also, I saw a video on how to achieve the f1 sound recently, anyone got the formulas behind the paywall?)Injecting small amounts of water into the exhaust during antilag to prevent it from burning and also generating steam for turbine-retarded or not?
>>27815491That engine of yours is most likely already constricted by the exaust diameter at its top rpm, and there's nothing you can really do about it
>>27839800I wouldn't be so sure, soviet engines weren't constrained by emission regulations which is what led to chocked exhaust ports in western engines (to make the catalytic converters work better).
>>27841293Uzam 412 is factory-tuned to have "pseudo turbo". Even tho I don't understand how exactly that works, but since 280/280 phases mean there's quite an overlap, maybe the exaust gasses help to pull in fresh mixture, and if that's the case after some rpm it should stop working meaning less hpBut since op is going to install a turbo this shouldn't matter
>>27841961It's just fuckery with cams to cause heavier vacuum in cylinders during intake period.
>>27841967Since you seem to know what u r talking about, pls explain
> mostly EVs, leafs and other greta thunberg cars> Nobody drives above already extremely low speed limits> No overtaking> Will call cops on you if you drive fast> Don't understand left lane is for overtaking> Cyclists bad (not norway specific tho)I fucking hate my cucked country why cant they just man up
>>27841575Veldig fin, anon. Har lyst på et gammelt amerikabeist selv, men prisen på bensin (og tilgjengeligheten på 98) er for mye for meg. Amerikanske v8 biler er heldigvis ikke altfor dyre sammenlignet med japsedritt og diverse.
>>27841671Takk <3Så lenge man ikke kjøper en ihjelskrudd raggerbil er amerikanere billige i drift (Utenom bensin).Har heldigvis en bensinstasjon nedi gaten som selger 98 uten etanol enn så lenge.
>>27841076>>27841134>>27841215Coming from someone wo has lived in both as expat it's absolutely like that. Norway is basically just a communist shithole, Switzerland at least has wages and depending on the Kanton good tax policies. Healthcare is shit though, american tier pay or die if you aren't covered by your employer.
Prøver å nyte picrel så mye som mulig nå før det blir "begrensninger".>>27841575Mulig jeg har sett bilen din på e6. Veldig fin
Drove Oslo - Tromsø - Oslo (3,200 km) this summer and I really hate these drivers:>Germans in campervans >Campervans that don't go faster than 65 km/h uphill, but do 90 on the straights instead of letting you pass>Azns in rental Skodas braking down to 50 km/h around every bend Roads through Nordland are becoming alright now, but by God they're fucking boring. Take the detour to hoon over Korgfjellet for some variation. Fauske to Narvik is the worst stretch, albeit beautiful.
you can cram so many farts in these things
>>27841127what do you look like
>>27841543
>>27841127be careful anon you should check your cars specs, you wouldn't want to have a blowout on the road by surpassing the fartlimiter.
>steal roller from construction site>drop it off in the woods less than a mile away a month ago>It's still thereReally highlighting the competency crisis in policing huh
>>27840757It's gone
>>27841120then I have some bad news for you
>>27836750>ChimpcongoExplains it
Why? Did you really? Confessing to a crime, though it may be a bogus story. Ain't right to steal. Big if true, no proofs.
>>27840230Probably so, but if it not it definitely explains why DC-3's are such tough bastards.
Why does the ford maverick make truck cucks seethe so much?

>>27840969Justified
>>27837506>I've worked on vehicles, in the rust belt, that were rustproofed once a year and they were immaculateYou lying cunt.
>>27836858>if it runs and looks like a pickupSo why'd you post something that doesn't look like a pickup?
>>27840969Worst part is that this is going to be ever the more common with how pushed everyone is these days. I mean who walks the fuck up to someone with their gun already drawn, only to smack the fucking gun into their car? How badly do you need to fail controlling your temper?
