It’s because the Mercs and BMWs offer a fun car to drive that’s also nice inside and the Caddies are absolute fucking squalor. Sure thing dude let me shell out 70k for a luxury sedan that has the build quality of a Kia and dependability that suggests the electronic systems were sourced exclusively to Lucas. Fuck off.
Ya lol. When I’ve gotten stuck before I’ve been fortunate enough to end up so far off track that they just leave me there until the session is over.
I’ve driven a few and they’re wildly lax in terms of tech for the grassroots kind of events. They’re heaps of fun but it’s definitely a “run what you brung at your own risk” kinda deal. Most of them are low speed enough that as long as you’ve got a helmet, it’s just your car at risk.
Tow hooks. Tow. Fucking. Hooks.
The fan doesn’t do shit at speed. It’s a matter of the size of the heat exchangers and the flow path through them. Even the NA C6Z runs hot on track. These cars have small radiator openings from the factory and often need some mods to keep oil & water temp at a reasonable range. Even on an NA E85 LS7 I’m still running…
All other things being equal, I cannot fathom why you would want less power. Unless you can’t afford the gas/pads/fuel etc costs associated with it, more power = quicker lap times = more fun (for most people). More power also means more options, different lines to try, etc. That’s all more fun as far as I’m concerned.
Sick harness passthroughs bro do you run a 5pt or 6pt while gaming? Hope you use a HANS when strapped in stay safe.
Ya some of those can look really damn good. Nice to see some colors outside of the typical dark blue bmw. Been seeing a lot of metallic brown lately and it’s a pretty great color on the larger sedans.
The only time that matters is if you’re stuffing the car to the point where it’s loaded over the windowline. No thanks. That’s what trailers are for.
The whole vehicle is stupid. It should look stupid. No different than paying a premium for some garish color as far as I’m concerned.
I like that it looks stupid. Ugly was worth 5,000 to me.
Bunch of grumpy old fucks about to spam the comments section with woes about today’s youth and how Their Brand of Fun shouldn’t be considered Real Fun because it doesn’t align with My Brand of Fun.
Could just be that this particular ABS system is garbage and that locking all 4 wheels with the diffs ends up damping out sudden changes in wheel speed and makes the stop more controllable.
Bruh. Just about anyone in MA is an asshole. Doesn’t matter what someone is driving in MA, it’s likely that the driver is an asshole. Massholes.
Crossovers are literally just tall wagons. I honestly can’t believe people on this site are hating on a performance wagon. They’re traitors to the cause and should be mercilessly purged.
That’s as far as you can get from a safety feature. Encourages you to leave the belt off so the Super Eurobeat keeps playing, but now you’re driving around to some Super Eurobeat with no seatbelt in a GTR. Dark Souls level of Git Gud or Die Tryin.
