>>28201704The day doug reviews and thus triples the price of some cool rare obscure barge before I get one, say a '75 roadrunner, a '73 grand-am, or '77 can-am, is the day I KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HAaANDS
>best sports car for so many people>15,000 were produced for North AmericaSounds like only 15,000 people in North America can have one, not "so many people">>mcdonalds on all 4Why is that a bad thing? What makes it bad? What makes it worse than a double wishbone suspension?
>>28201791It is objectively worse for handling and ride comfort
>>28201791No camber gain, prone to under steer also it's just another way they make cars cheaper. You will notice most of the cheapest shittiest cars are McDonald's on all 4.
>>28201791Cost cutting, something that should not have a place on a "premium brand sports car"
>>28201704>porsh>mcdsdoubt
>>28201704>muh porschejust shut the fuck up and buy a miata already
>>28201825>>28201828>>28201830>t. unable to control even a 200hp car at its limitkeep arguing, busriders
My ram had double wishbone frontMy current nigsan has a double wishbones front
>>28202413Cope, even a nigsan Z is more of a sports car than a NARP
>It eats high-g corners for breakfast, yet even with abrupt throttle changes refuses to bite back with more than a subtle rear-end shake.>Under hard transitional maneuvers, the Boxster feels confidently stable and responsive. Nimble, agile, predictable, yet forgiving, it's the kind of car that can make you feel like a rally champion without demanding race-honed driving skills.>With the standard suspension and 16-inch tires, the Boxster's ride is sportingly taut, yet more compliant than that of a 911. The car charges over bumps with rock-solid composure, never sacrificing dynamic stability. The 17-inch tires give away a little ride comfort, and the sport suspension becomes quite firm, especially on rough pavement.>The rack-and-pinion steering is somewhat lighter, a little more isolated, and not as razor sharp as the 911's, yet it controls the car with laserlike accuracy and fluid feedback.Weird, when you read a period review about a Boxster, all they do is praise the handling. It's almost as if benchracing retards on mongolian basket weaving forum don't know what they're talking about.
imagine being a car reviewer in the beginning of the death of dignity of car ownership, like wow, this car has 400lbs of canbus and sensors and only 2 of them are used to scan your facial structure to sell your identity or raise your insurance rates for driving 10 over.
>>28202422funny you should say that
>>28201830You're delusional. Everything short of a $500,000 car has cost cutting everywhere you look.
>>28202426Most auto journalists are retards like Doug who review cars on on-ramps.Real sports cars have double bones
>>28201704so it's baisically a subaru.why doesn't subaru make a mid-engined sportscar? they have the perfect platform for it.
>>28203611>low tier rebuttal No, professional journalists are not the same as your jewtube idol. They get longer access to the vehicle and get to test it over more conditions.
>>28201791>Why is that a bad thing? What makes it bad? What makes it worse than a double wishbone suspension?Because busriders who could never explore the handling limits of a car with McPherson corners have read it's bad.
>>28203855I remember seeing a video of some dude in Japan who swapped an EJ into his MR-S and I thought it was kind of neat.
>>28201704His videos are just ads for the stupid auction site now. Why would he trash something he's trying to sell? This car even had aftermarket exhaust and he just glossed over it.
>>28201704I thought the newer boxsters werer 400hp
>>28201712Why would he review a car he won't sell on his website?
>>28204236Only if you get the insanely overpriced top trim, otherwise you're stuck with some Subaru-tier 4-banger
>>28203874How can a boxster handle well of its got sub standard suspension set up to understeer and absorb potholes on the way to the mall? It’s a legally blonde car for trophy wives
>>28203874Sadly Porsche knows what they are doing. If they actually take the Bixster good handling it would expose how bad the engine is starved of oil in sweeping right handers
>>28204245He already did a 77 eldo
>>28205398Giving you a set of sticky tires is 100x cheaper for the manufacturer than for them to give you bones or multi link.
>>28206173>give you bonesOn a scale of retard to full blown autist, where do you rank yourself?
>>28206186Lol shut the fuck you faggot ricer, fuck buying rentals (cars without bones), fuck automatics.
>>28206186t. 986 owner They’re very reliable as long as you don’t turn right!
>>28206568>forcing the FA24 meme on other boxersWhat a fucking faggot holy shit
>>28201704It's really weird how he shows favoritism to Porsche and other Germanslop. 6.1 seconds 0-60 is fine in the Porscheslop but an 86 or Miata with similar spec is "down on power"?
>>28206574Idk poor fag engines by name sorry https://youtu.be/MoVQjQg_oKE?feature=shared>parabolica BOOM >cunningham corner BOOM https://youtu.be/Qj5sZCH7rg4?feature=shared>outer loop BOOM >after 600 yards turn right https://youtu.be/nXWZDt4l0jA?feature=sharedBOOM Reminder that 996/986 987/987 are NARPS
>>28206615kek, theyre trying to drive it like a japaneese car
>>28206190So 11?
>>28206649go ahead start shilling the fucking zf8hp
>>28206662You're confusing me with the V6 Challenged Autist. Sorry to get your hopes up.
>>28206767i have no clue who that is clown, i know who you are though. a certified and thoroughbred tranny. fucking led loving faggot.
>>28206662>ZF8hp Ahh yes the most mid transmission in all of auto history
>>28206772pretty sure some youtuber has these follower trannies all shilling them to the fucking moon and back
>>28206770>my cars don't even have HID, let alone LED lightsAre you ok Anon? It seems as if you're having a mental breakdown. >>28206772Any auto pales in comparison to something with a clutch.
>>28206788dumbass fucking ricer
>>28206790>trying so hard to bump it up to a 12/10 on the 'tism scale
>im not gonna reply to the bait bro!!1>replies in sub 1i pray a swift death to all nu-males, ricers and wrenchlets.

>IM GONNA WAIT 30 EXTRA SECONDS THIS TIEM!11
>>28206807>u-y-you have to wait to reply!!@!
clown ass ricer just say it, MUH ZF8HP, MUH HECKIN LED LIGHTS, MUH SELF DRIVING KEK POD. i dont get what youre waiting for.
>xer still thinks it's arguing with v6 challenged guyLol, lmao even.
deluded ricer
>own manual v8>hurr ricerYou're cooked Anon. You should really hop of the internet for awhile.
>>28201704why are modern german and japanese engines dogshit now they used to be bulletprooftheir all cost cutting since 2008 and making them in china arent they
cold day in hell you ever actuate a clutch lmao
>>28206835Try 1995
>>28206782They’re in like every dodge bmw high power Audi Bentley Aston Martin Alfa Romeo, 8 speed GM is a clone, jeep Chrysler, Land Rover, rolls Royce and I’m sure others I’m forgetting. It’s reliable without maintenance for warranty periods. It’s durable for 1000nm torque. It’s kinda fast at shifting. It takes 180ms.The M car SMG / Lambo single clutch took 100ms The DCT takes 60ms.The DCT is also simply a better piece of performance hardware. It can downshift faster for engine braking by skipping gears where the ZF can go from 8 to 1 fats not otherwise has to slug through the motions to get there snd you get the awkward useless slow 7-8 gears in your way. Basically the ZF8 is fine. It’s not as good as a DCT except that it exists and it can endure modern torque figures. Audi didn’t fork up the cash for a DCT upgrade like Porsche bc they’re going electric. That’s the reality of these. They’re not bad but they’re not sporty. Great for a truck or SUV and simply acceptable in a sports car. Really too heavy and big vs a DCT but hey, cutting costs gets executives bonuses.

>>28208509The turbo chads really broke you didnt they? Hope your day gets better for you.
>>28201704Buy an ad Doug, we know you lurk here
>>28208526>$150k and understeers Yeah something is broken
I've just always wanted one because of the lines. The shapes. There's thing going on in the bodywork of these things that make the engine not even matter, it's like a modern karman ghia to me.I'd still only have one in manual and obviously I'd want whatever is fucked up in there to be unfucked but at the end of the day I'd just want to drive it like a karman ghia.All I'm gonna ask is that it turns and do an occassional-but-predictable slide.
