This would be the car of my dreams. A tiny featherweight car (~1600 lbs), rear wheel drive, manual. It would be a 2 seater with the drivers in a reclined position in order to be able to fit taller people in a very low car. The engine would be a naturally aspirated three cylinder with about 160 hp mounted at a 90…
I never would have guessed what’s going on here... :) :) :)
It’s not an old classic but boy do I love the look of the engineering of the gantry injection. (Formula Atlantic 4AGE engine in an AE86)
THEY GAVE A RALLY CAR DOWNFORCE! THEY GAVE A RALLY CAR DOWNFORCE?
It’s so beautifully simple. I just want to get in and drive it. +it’s a 216 bhp GTV, I can’t not like any part of it
Well the Impreza has a 157 horsepower range from 148 hp base models to the 305 hp STI.
if only it was an aluminum block like an LS2
I did a Miata rear main seal. Started in April, got the transmission back in 3 weeks ago. Now it won’t start. I’m pretty sure the gas went bad because the whole shebang took about 6 months longer than expected. What should be my course of action?
The thing is most LS engines make a lot more power objectively than a rotary. But they feel lazy. Now what would be cool is a destroked LS2 (or comparable) with some really good head work and titanium valve springs. Aim for 500hp and 8000 rpm.
I feel like I don’t necessarily really want any of these to win (besides actually Bernie in real life). What car would actually represent a perfect president?
As someone studying mechanical engineering right now, all I can say is good god I’ve found a new dream job!!!
And statistics have never been manipulated before either
I suppose you have never heard of WAIS (the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet) then
more fun than not having a clutch
What I’ve come to realize in car culture is: it is all about personal expression. Everyone who modifies their car in some way obviously cars. They like cars, they like their car, they enjoy doing it. I’ve come to accept that I may not personally like every car out there but who gives a shit what I think? I’ll modify…
This really sucks. and makes me mad. But here’s to one thing Arizona is doing right! No yearly inspections and barely even emissions!! Because FREEEEDOM!!!!!!!
You do know that you can’t really just put a low development time nuclear weapon on a cruise missile. They’re far too heavy. Making nukes light AND small AND effective takes an insane amount of money, like only US and Russia insane. To launch a bigger nuke, you need an ICBM and developing one of those ain’t exactly…
This one’s great. Let’s take a rally car that understeers and to make it better cut about 2 feet out of the wheelbase and give it a lot more power so now it’s unstable and would like to spin. Sound like a good plan!
Top Gear also had two big things that made them unique. They really weren’t much of a car show (particularly in the later seasons). The show was really about Jeremy, James, and Richard and traveling (see every special). The other thing was the by being on the BBC, they had to appease exactly 0 sponsors so they could…
