why are fast cars so expensive? why can't someone just drop a retardedly big engine in a shitbox so i can buy it? i don't care about having 10 cameras or cup holder coolers or whatever crap they put in cars these days.i won't get an ev because i live in an apartment.
>>29074072>why can't someone just drop a retardedly big engine in a shitbox so i can buy it?that someone has to be you
>>29074072they kinda used to do that
>>29074072>why can't someone just drop a retardedly big engine in a shitbox so i can buy itmustang
>>29074072>>29074170yeah that's the idea behind MUSSO' CAHZbut modern car company greed has progressed so far that what should be a 30k car (Mustang GT) is now double
>>29074177>company greed is why a mustang costs more than a civic hybridYou're retarded If everything is overpriced to you, then you're poor
>>29074072>why can't someone just drop a retardedly big engine in a shitbox so i can buy it?They do, and you can, ya just gotta look further than your nose ya fuckin' schmuck.
>>29074180it's not fairMustang GT should be easy for high schoolers to buyshould be able to buy one saving couple years working at a grocery store
>>29074072You want a Camaro.
>>29074192Who do you think you are? A boomer?
>>29074072How about you get your life together and fucking build something fast? What the fuck is wrong with this place? Why is this "enthusiast community" only interested in overpriced production bullshit?
>>29074072Retardedly big engines are retardedly expensive
>>29074203not when you make millions of them and shove them into as many of your models as you can
>>29074203What's your definition of "retardedly big"? A 6 liter LS is not retardedly big but you can get them for a dime a dozen. 8.1's are out there but they're getting harder to find.
>>29074206>>29074209Big by itself doesn't equal fast (or powerful); op was talking about fast cars and posting lambosAlso not my definition:>>29074072
>>29074219Most of the cars in the OP have smaller engines than even a basic bitch 6.0 LS.
The real blackpill is that it is easy to make a high performance small engine but emission laws require a bigger engine to be allowed to burn that much fuel.So you only need a big engine for high performance due to the law.I think the real reason you don't see boomer muscle cars in a teen's budget is because that is how you get major road fatalities widespread.They race around until exploding into chunks of vehicle often taking others with them.Gatekeep performance until someone's 30s and they are too responsible to use it in ways that pointlessly kills other people on the road.
>>29074221He was obviously talking about horsepower, not displacement
>>29074233Stick a cam and headers in/on the LS and it'll make more than most of those too, while weighing less and being way more reliable.Want more? Put a blower on it. Done.
>>29074233Okay but a LS with your typical HCI mods makes more power than any of those cars in OP's pic. Add a Chynah whistle boi and you'll be making more power than the most powerful Ferrari for sale all for less than a monthly payment on one of those Arab mobiles. Horsepower has never been cheaper so quit your bitching.
>>29074242Wanna bitch, bitch with op, retard
>>29074201This. Literally just a skill issue.
>>29074072>why can't someone just drop a retardedly big engine in a shitboxI don't know, why can't you?
>>29074225This.First there are a lot of expensive things in a fast car - not just the engine. You need matching brakes, suspension and so on.And even if a company manages to put a budget fast car on the road, many retards will buy it and off themselves or others.The car and the brand will get a lot of flak and a bad name.And other, more affluent buyers will avoid it because of its cheap, poor retard image.Speed is a Veblen good.
>>29074072Just get a motorbike?
>>29074331Too dangerous>>29074233OP here, yes I'm talking about power, not necessarily physical size, displacement, cylinders,etc.It's just frustrating because I drive a very old car, that is not slow, but when I look at the newer offerings, nothing is significantly faster than my car unless I'm willing to lay out beaucoup bucks. I'm a city slicker and I don't know enough about cars to build my own.>>29074225I'd be willing to take my chances.Maybe I should get a used Mustang or something.
