>not left foot braking like gokarts and F1ngmi
>>29014255Kek, 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.
>>29014255what's this?
>>29014274Release handle
>>29014271It'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.
>>29014277thanx.
>>29014274Why is there a hidden latch for P under the dash?
>>29014397Dodge SRT Chally drivers pushin p, that's why.
>>29014255If you manage that you should give up your license and start over.
>>29014274why the fuck would a mt have a foot park brake instead of a handbrake?
>>29014255That’s interesting, never had that problem in my manual ScatPack. Sounds like a skill issue.
>>29014438>t. feetlet
>>29014441Go ahead and post your car, guy
>>29014442Which one?
>>29014445Whichever
>>29014449Why?
>>29014450Because I’m 99% sure you’re full of shit. So here’s a pic of my Hellcat next to my manual ScatPack.
>>29014458NTA, I may be into miatas, but that's fuckin' sick.
>>29014458>Because I’m 99% sure you’re full of shitI just took a dump thoughbeit
>>29014415AZK ZE GERMANZ
>>29014460Thank you sir. I work with some guys who have Miatas they regularly track. I’ve driven a couple of them and I get it. They’re fun
>>29014458You are greatest ally
>>29014271american 3 liter v6s are the gold standard of the world
>>29014271they 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.
>>29014577Which one? The Durakek with the water pump that shits itself? Lmao
>>29014616Pentastar, babby.
>>29014616the durakek is european (originally designed by Porsche) that's why it's shit.
>>29014618Lel>>29014643Not the 3.5
>>29014590Lmao 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°
>>29014701It’s already hard enough to see over the Viper’s hood. A taller engine would not work.
>>29014705Have you tried being taller?
>>29014710No. 5’8 is fine. But seriously I can barely see out of Vipers, it’s ridiculous. It’s a mile of hood.
>>29014415Because the challenger/charger/300 and whatever LX platform cars are just mercedes in disguise and with a reliable engine in the front
>>29014720Ford Excursion V10 doesn't have the same hood problem but still uses a dumb 90° v angle to save on cost
>>29014701Every engine should be 90 degrees. Inline 3,4,5,6, V4, V6, V7's, they should all be 90 degrees.
>>29014783Based leaning tower of power enjoyer
>>29014749The Excursion is the size of a Walmart you could put one of those inline cargo ship engines im there and nobody would notice.
>>29014255>posts picture with the e-brake pressed all the way inwardRelease 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.
>>29014274Turns blocks into coins
>>29014728LX development predates mercedes merger.
>>29015268So it's just complete coincidence it has the exact components as W211 and W221?
>>29015268Sure, 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>>29015573LX cars hasn't used any merc components since the end of the merger.Ferrari has used GM components. Are their cars just corvettes underneath?
>>29016109Moron. I'd say enjoy your Hemi powered 90s Merc but you couldn't even get credit when broke ass niggas could.
>>29016120Merc niggers wish their cars were the LX platform.>but it used suspension components over a fucking decade agolmao, Ferrari uses GM suspension components NOW. i guess that makes them corvettes underneath.
>>29016109Does Ferrari have both front and rear suspension, the floorpan, transmission, brakes and electrics from Corvette?
>>29016161the 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>the LX cars post merger don't have any of that, eitherLiterally wrong, go be stupid somewhere else
>>29014466The bloatmobile mutts fellate is actually German?el o el
>>29016169>Literally wrong*citation needed*
>>29016171nah, europeans take credit for it though cause their own cars suck.
>>29016175What's this then?>>29014274
>>29016176>GM's magnetic ride that Ferrari useswhat is this?
>>29016180Lmao, there's the mutt seethe
so you were seething when you asked the same question?
>>29016174Charger had the 5G Tronic until 2021 or so
>>29016186Ferrari used GM's transmission, so did BMW, and Bentley. are they all GM platforms?
>>29016191Did they also use half of the car from GM?
>>29016198Is there a citation that the LX did?
>>29014438why's your engine so hot, my wrx doesn't hit that oil temp at 100mph
>>29014271Yanks can build inline 6s as well.
>>29014255You are now aware that having a pedal parking brake is an affliction only Americans suffer.
>>29014255>dips headlights
>>29016318Why does it exist in the first place?
>>29016280The 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.
>>29016200Yes?
>>29014255>moves the left foot back to the foot rest>slams on the e-brakeHe left-foot brakes.Bet you are one of those geezers I follow with the brake lights eternally on. And the smell of burning brake pads.
>>29014255>shifts gear>moves the left foot back to the foot rest>pulls leg back for no reason while cranking foot against the kick panel>slams on the e-brakeishiggy diggy doo this
>>29016896weird how no one can post it.
>>29016186Until 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)))
>>29017050The mclaren F1 used a transmission and diff made by an american company. this would also make it an american car by your definition.
>>29017071>yfw the famous audi "quattro" was actually an american diff
>>29014255Cars are not for you anon.
>>29014415Hides the ugly handbrake and makes the interior look way nicer.
>>29017261Incorrect
>>29017261You are a ricer and this mechanism is off cargo vans
>>29017315pretty 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 shitamazing
>>29017327Unless 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.
>>29017549yes, just like the rebuild intervals on european super cars.
>>29017045Literally Wikipedia
>>29017776don't see anything on wikipedia that says the LX platform is a merc, let alone using "half the car".
