God I love seeing tavarish get his shit handed to him. There are no shortcuts to owning an exotic simple as that. If you have a civic budget you can’t afford an m5
yea but im American we don’t tolerate 1.6 NA engines in family saloons
They also either advertised the hp higher or dynoed at a lower power when the NB2 came out. They ended up giving rebates back to recent buyers because of false advertising. My dad had one
320i is most certainly boosted bmw hasn’t made a NA 4 banger since the 90’s
im honored to have 2 of my nominations chosen. my inner movie buff/gearhead is ecstatic
then why does all the competitors use a 6? why did acura move from a turbo 4 back into a v6 for the RDX?
the supra stopped being sold in usa in 98 (it was in japan till 2002) the movie took place in 2001. I agree the F40 is a big stretch but a c6 Z06 is a very apt comparison to today. I wouldn’t laugh at a trashed z06 or even base model c6. Its still a fantastic car and guaranteed to have a v8
U WOT M8
and you do?
when I am paying big bucks on a full size truck/minivan/suv/cuv whatever this is I deserve a full sized engine not a little car mill. When I buy a corvette I deserve a v8. when I buy a lambo I deserve a v10/v12. the more money I spend the more engine I should get. very simple concept
strength, robustness, and reliability. a v-6 or v-8 will always be a stronger more durable powertrain under heavy load than a boosted 4 banger from a car
its not just power.....a turbo 4 will be much more strained making 250 than a v-6 will be making 280. its a truck so give it a real engine not an engine designed for a car. why do you think the competition is all v-6? which would you trust to tow a boat?
zipties
so mazda downsizes their engine to a turbo-4 when all of the competition uses a v-6 and loses 40 hp in the process and you want me to accept this is ok because torque? cars this size deserve a v-6 and im a huge turbo 4 proponent in most other segments. the only silver lining in all of this is that mazda is in fact not…
so theres no such thing as overnight parts from japan? or just very very implausible/expensive
yea they shoulda taught him to drive
aka still faster than a gt86 20 years ago
