30-40mpg in my hot hatch.

I was more thinking about the 5 passenger SUVs, but, yeah, this article is more in the 7+ seating range, so my comment may be less applicable than I was thinking.
You’re looking at about a 10MPG highway difference, not insignificant.
Yes, but there are also cars nowadays that carry just as many passengers getting comfortably up into the low to mid 30s.
Mid 20s, exactly the same as a 20yo minivan.
Large, inefficient SUV sales seem to be tied directly to gasoline prices.
Real race pads don’t work on the street. A true track pad is dangerous until it is up to temperature (you’re not keeping them hot under street driving conditions).
I have Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors on my E39. Four years on the rears and three on the fronts.
The only people who can tell the performance difference between normal pads and squeaky aggressive pads are trackday bros, aka people who are going full Carbotech/Hawk/Pagid/etc anyway and don’t care at all about the squealing.
Just get ceramic pads. No squeal, minimal dust. Our E91 never squealed, but its wheels looked like diesel exhaust tips a few days after a wash. Threw on some Akebonos and that shit was gone. Even if they eventually cause “warping” or material deposit on the rotors (not trying to open that can of worms), rotors are so…
It’s not BS, high performance brake pads are much noisier and generate much more brake dust and you’re right in that the difference in normal driving isn’t astronomical. But there is a difference and if you’re trying to get every last ounce of performance out of your car it’s something you’ll have to put up with. If…
Let’s face it. Less than 1% of the owners are ever going to push those brake to anything near their peak performance.
This right here. Performance brakes tend to squeal, but generally their advantages aren’t really manifested unless you get your brakes really hot. For the vast majority of drivers, the extra heat capacity of the pads isn’t worth the trade off of squealing. However, if the extra heat capacity matters to you, it is way…
A TSB may have been issued not because of faulty equipment, but because the brand doesn’t want petty complaints to rise up for what is actually true - performance brakes do make more noise. I don’t know how hard you brake, but it’s possible that lesser “normal” brakes offer the same performance as the performance…
No motorcycles in Forza games though :(
I don’t play GTAO, but I’m an avid car collector offline, and have been since the GTA:VC days. I actually have am Excel spreadsheet for GTA:V where I list out what cars are in which garage, with which modifications and color, and pictures of them. If I get a new one but need to put it into a different protagonist’s…
As we drive, the conversation steers towards Rockstar and the future of GTA Online. “We feel ignored,” Swiftly said.
Makes me wonder if there’s a similar culture for aviation in GTA:O, especially after the Smuggler’s Run update introduced a bunch of customizable aircraft
I’m an avid car collector in GTA online. I currently own over 150 vehicles and have probably spent around 180-200 million customizing them. Car meets are really awesome and a great way to see variations of things you own and the creative personalities behind them. I’d say the car collecting is 80% of the reason I play…
