>really makes you think
>>28685220>emission-choked malaise era turdIs beating it supposed to be an achievement?
>>28685220the only thing this makes me think is that you are an idiot.
>>2868522030k miles later:>chevy trax: 0-60 in 20 seconds as it’s towed to the shop, then the scrap yardNotice the narrative shift when discussing cars and reliability; they're completely engineered to last 100k miles and no more. It’s going to gut the used market completely
>an antique car slower than a V6 Challenger is slower than a new car that is also slower than a V6 Challenger
>>28685220>5 liter V8>145 horsepower>1 4 5do americans really?
>>28685220>detuned V8 with an emissions cam doesn't perform very wellYeah no fucking shit.
>>28685254like old diesel without turbo
>>28685254No, no one actually left those things in the (retarded) stock config. You can get a 500 HP SBC right now delivered to your door for under $5k from like 10 different companies.
>1 litre suvsOk but why though.
>>28685220>Yeah it might be supremely lame, gay, and unreliable as fuck, but it's 1/10th faster to 60mphcool, I'll take the trans am
A 1982 trans am is slower than a 1969 trans am lmao
>>28685254There is a reason the mid 1970s-early 1980s are refered to as the "malaise era" for American cars.
>>28685254Yes.The difference here though is that these 40 years old vehicles are still putting along while those 1.2L shit cans won't drive in 2065 anymore.
>A four-cylinder Mustang EcoBoost can achieve a 0-60 mph time of approximately 4.9 to 5.6 seconds>The 2003 ["Terminator", supercharged 4.6L] Cobra's 0 to 60 mph time is around 4.5 to 5.1 seconds.
