I provided an example that shows that is not true. The Spark EV makes 4 times more torque than the Honda but less horsepower and weighs approximately the same yet is exponentially slower. Show me a car that makes more torque than horsepower that is faster than another car that makes more horsepower but less torque and…

You’re not disagreeing. :)

You have to cane it to make it go, but the gearing makes it easier to do so than you think. It takes a lot of practice to not bounce off the rev limiter. Torque down low feels great, especially for a daily driver in traffic, but it doesn’t make for a fast car. Great example: Chevy Spark EV. 140 hp. *400 freaking lb-ft…

I’ve never actually seen an Integra GSR of this vintage even though I had the B17A engine from one for my ‘91 CRX Si swap... they were really rare.

I’m getting a Lancia Montecarlo vibe from the front end.

Shoulda walked away...

Tomorrow it is going to be 78 degrees. It won’t be “too cold” any time soon.

Left clicking doesn’t work, but *middle clicking* makes it play and stop as normal for me. WTF?

For all the crazy cut scenes that fans bitch about, one in Twin Snakes is the best Solid Snake moment of all for me... the one where he gets head butted by the rifle and slowly turns around to face the guy that did it making him shit himself before he finally succumbs and passes out. That was absolute badass, and I’m…

You just said ICE is not better technology than electric then started listing all the reasons that ICE *is* better technology than electric. Keep in mind there are still *many* improvements on the horizon for ICE engines just like you listed for batteries, including variable displacement, electronically actuated…

The problem with that analogy/argument is that batteries are actually *older* technology than the internal combustion engine. At the start of the automobile, battery powered cars were just as popular as gasoline powered cars. The ICE surpassed them in popularity because it is the superior technology with very few of…

Wrong on both counts. EX35 is based on the Nissan FM Skyline/Infiniti G35 sedan platform, and there are no serious systematic design issues with the VQ35. I’ve owned four myself with no problems at all. Current daily driver is 12 years old and has 136k. Check Craigslist and you will find tons of great drivers with the…

I see where you are coming from, but I think there is room for both. In terms of art, it is cool when they create new places from the imagination. But there is also something to be said about using real life locations that people recognize so they feel like the characters inhabit the same world they do, like if they…

Almost all the locations in Initial D are real life locations as well. There used to be a webpage that showed all the comparisons frame by frame, but I can’t find it anymore. You can find them if you do a google image search though.

Yep, if you couldn’t afford the price when new, you had better reconsider buying one used.

No, I’m saying that people will only behave when they suspect that they are being watched by authorities, and they won’t suspect they are being watched by authorities if they cant SEE the authorities in question. Pretty simple logic really.

Except people don’t fear that any car can be a cop car and they speed and do stupid things anyway unless they actually see one. If *receiving* the tickets themselves stopped people from lawbreaking then the departments would run out of money really quickly because almost everyone has had a traffic citation at some…

I hate unmarked police cars. Any cop under oath in court will tell you that the reason they write traffic tickets is for safety to make people slow down and be more careful. It most certainly is not for revenue generation. But what is the instinctive reaction of all drivers that see a *marked* police car? Uh-huh. So…

I remember a lot of them would pull up a black screen with a dos command prompt when you hit the “boss button”. It would usually emulate at least a few commands.
