Kek, can America do anything other than muh V8? The 392 is killer but you ask these people to make literally anything other than a pushgod V8, or make something well built, and they fold up like a tent.

It's a regional specialty, just like EU has tons of embarrassingly small city cars that would never sell in America. As far as if the US can do anything different, America also has major EV manufacturers.

If you manage that you should give up your license and start over.

american 3 liter v6s are the gold standard of the world
>>
>>29014271
they make the best straight six diesels, best V10s, and made some of the best V6s ever put into production cars. from motorsports to carting around nigglets in the ghetto, the 3800 series V6 did it all.

Which one? The Durakek with the water pump that shits itself? Lmao

the durakek is european (originally designed by Porsche) that's why it's shit.

Lmao the SRT10 is such a lazy attempt at a v10, 90° v10 is so stupid other than saving on manufacturing costs by using v8 tools to build a v8. A proper v10 has a v angle of 72°

>>29014701
It’s already hard enough to see over the Viper’s hood. A taller engine would not work.
>>
>>29014705
Have you tried being taller?
>>
>>29014710
No. 5’8 is fine. But seriously I can barely see out of Vipers, it’s ridiculous. It’s a mile of hood.
>>
>>29014415
Because the challenger/charger/300 and whatever LX platform cars are just mercedes in disguise and with a reliable engine in the front
>>
>>29014720
Ford Excursion V10 doesn't have the same hood problem but still uses a dumb 90° v angle to save on cost
>>
>>29014701
Every engine should be 90 degrees. Inline 3,4,5,6, V4, V6, V7's, they should all be 90 degrees.
>>
>>29014783
Based leaning tower of power enjoyer

>>29014749
The Excursion is the size of a Walmart you could put one of those inline cargo ship engines im there and nobody would notice.

>posts picture with the e-brake pressed all the way inward
Release the e-brake, and you'll find the pedal is entirely out of the way unless you literally cock your left leg and foot back all the way and try to actually press it.

LX development predates mercedes merger.
>>
>>29015268
So it's just complete coincidence it has the exact components as W211 and W221?
>>
>>29015268
Sure, but they also dove a lot into the mercedes parts bin, I mean it's just the smart thing to do instead of developing your own shit then having to produce all the bits and bobs.
>>
>>29015516
>>29015573
LX cars hasn't used any merc components since the end of the merger.

Ferrari has used GM components. Are their cars just corvettes underneath?
>>
>>29016109
Moron. I'd say enjoy your Hemi powered 90s Merc but you couldn't even get credit when broke ass niggas could.
>>
>>29016120
Merc niggers wish their cars were the LX platform.
>but it used suspension components over a fucking decade ago
lmao, Ferrari uses GM suspension components NOW. i guess that makes them corvettes underneath.
>>
>>29016109
Does Ferrari have both front and rear suspension, the floorpan, transmission, brakes and electrics from Corvette?
>>
>>29016161
the LX cars post merger don't have any of that, either. nor is any of that what makes a platform. go be stupid somewhere else.
>>
>>29016164

so you were seething when you asked the same question?

>>29016174
Charger had the 5G Tronic until 2021 or so
>>
>>29016186
Ferrari used GM's transmission, so did BMW, and Bentley. are they all GM platforms?
>>
>>29016191
Did they also use half of the car from GM?
>>
>>29016198
Is there a citation that the LX did?
>>
>>29014438
why's your engine so hot, my wrx doesn't hit that oil temp at 100mph

>>29014271
Yanks can build inline 6s as well.

You are now aware that having a pedal parking brake is an affliction only Americans suffer.
>>
>>29014255
>dips headlights
>>
>>29016318
Why does it exist in the first place?
>>
>>29016280
The car had 23 miles on it at that point so it was a fresh, tight motor, it was nearly 100 out, I had driven it a bit hard and was in stop and go traffic. It was cooling down, the 392s have oil to water oil coolers on them so the cooling system is pulling double duty for both the block and oil. The oil dumps a ton of heat into the cooling system.
>>
>>29016200
Yes?

>moves the left foot back to the foot rest

He left-foot brakes.

>>29016896
weird how no one can post it.
>>
>>29016186
Until 14’ and now it uses the same ZF trans and diff as Audi.
So it’s basically a German car with a pushgod engine.
>>
>>29014274
(((P)))
>>
>>29017050
The mclaren F1 used a transmission and diff made by an american company. this would also make it an american car by your definition.

>>
>>29017315
pretty much all the original muscle era cars had a foot operated parking brake which is specifically why the 3rd gen challenger has one
>>
>>29017327
>it's supposed to be shit
amazing
>>
>>29017327
Unless it was a hand control at some time over there it has to date back to bench seats.
Model T and the like had a big stick outside.
>>
>>29017549
yes, just like the rebuild intervals on european super cars.
>>
>>29017045
Literally Wikipedia
>>
>>29017776
don't see anything on wikipedia that says the LX platform is a merc, let alone using "half the car".
