How do you cope with not having the top engine option of your car?
>>
the worst engine option of the camaro with the worst tires with no LSD still handles better than the best Miata/GR86/Yaris GR.
>>
>>29117889
Are Miata, GR86 and Yaris GR in the room with us right now?
>>
all my vehicles either have the top engine option or better except for one and for that one i coped by putting a big turbo on it.
>>
>>29117894
How can it have a better engine option than the top one?
>>
>>29117886

Because the ZR1X costs like $300,000 with dealer markups and the Grand Sport X is still really fast. I guess I'm broke.

>>29117886
In case of pic related, you can cope by saying that you can't get a Shaker on a Hellcat

But I do?
The badic bitch model had 54hp, the top dog model of my car had 58hp.
It now has a 68hp big block swap.

you known it's possible to put engines in a car that the car never came with from the factory, right?

Then it can't really be called an option, can it?

engine swaps may not be an option for you but they are for others.
>>
>>29117886
My car has the top engine option. My SUV doesn't have the big boi engine option (8.1 liter) but the smaller engine is technically the better engine.

But I do, anon. I have the top engine option of my car, in all its 75hp glory.
>>
>>29117886
since I drive an E60, I quite enjoy not having an M5, I don't have the money to maintain that. Even though I work at a car parts store and work on my own car. I'm quite happy with the 535d.

The 5.7L gets much better mileage than the 7.4L so I am fine with this.
>>
the 3.6 makes 80% of the 5.7's power, has no cylinder deactivation, eco mode or emissions bullshit, and makes my car handle better because its 200 lbs lighter over the front wheels, making it more fun to drive. from personal experience the bigger heavier motors are armchair drag racer larp that nobody really uses for their intended purpose and so are a waste of money.

And only 65% of the torque, which is needed in such a pigfat car.

>>29118757
Yeah and nobody in their right fucking mind ever specs one with that engine because it's pointless to use a gutless piece of shit to move a heavy vehicle.
>>
>>29118758
oh yeah that's why they're the standard engine in promaster vans and jeep wranglers and gladiators (all rated to tow over 7,000 lbs) right?
>>
>gutless
>entirely flat 270 lb-ft torque curve from rolling idle-6700 rpm
>>
>>29118763
I have never seen a Promaster towing anything. Wranglers and Gladiators struggle to move themselves down the highway at the speed limit unladen let alone towing anything.

>>29118764
What makes you think 270 lb-ft would be enough to move a 5000lb vehicle? How is that severe lack of torque going to help you move down the highway?

Ram 1500 5.7: 6.5 sec 0-60
Challenger 3.6: 5.8 sec 0-60
>>
>>29118772
lol 0-60 times. Compare 1/4 mile times. A V6 Chally is a 14 second car which is slow as fuck. Ram 1500's are running the same time and they're one of the more gutless half tons. That's right. A bigger, heavier and much less aerodynamic truck is pulling on you after 60mph which means you have a very gutless engine.

top kek
even a stock v6 chally makes it to 120 before the limiter hits what a pathetic piece of shit

>>29118779
cope
the automotive press is yellow and lies all the time like the post below you citing an impossible 0-60 from a rare scsb 2wd sports truck variant nobody actually owns, car and driver is well known in enthusiast circles for fudging numbers and lying in order to curry favor with manufacturers. you might as well cite an ign review of a AAA video game.

yeah if you took another 600 lbs off a v6 challenger (easy just don't pick up your mom) it'd be pretty fuckin quick too
>>
>>29118807
Those times are never accurate lmao. Post your dragy results or a time slip from a track. All of the half tons on the market do 0-60 in the 5.5-5.8s range and they'll do that over and over every time because they have 4x4. There are a million dragy videos proving it.
>>
>>29118796
That's awesome.
I love they way they look on the car.
I've always been a fan of steelies, or steelies-looking wheels on cars.

I was rejected by 2 women for having the 3.5 v6 (not the pentastar) instead of the v8 hemi in my Chrysler 300. 2 women mind you. Usually I don't let that bother me but it bothering me.
