So i have a RWD car and a few nights ago in the rain, i slammed from first to 2nd quickly and the shift actually made the back slide out.
I countersteered and regained control, but it was fucking annoying that it slid out like that. I was not even fully hooning, i was at about 4k rpm's in first before i switched to 2nd, the only hoon thing i did was dropping the clutch.
I'm running 235's at the moment, will getting a larger tyre stop this happening? Or will it still do this in the wet?

>but it was fucking annoying that it slid out like that
>literally being that out of touch with your car you can't predict the exact instance it breaks traction under power
wow give up cunt
>>15075648
Quit trolling the OP you seppo cunt. If a car is breaking traction under power, it's set up wrong.
>Hurr look at me i LIKE my car sliding around
You sound like a fucking commodore owner.
>>15075648
I just bought this car, sorry i'm still getting used to it.
Thing is, i've driven a lot of cars a LOT more powerful that have not done anything more than a tiny skid upon shifting. This fully slid out, meaning i'm more inclined to believe it's shitty tyres over the power (or lack thereof).

I agree, I wish our plates looked so rad

Is that why so many Americans buy them? Because they suck? How often do you see American plates on cars in Europe?

Yeah, I'm sure all those people driving 1.2 diesel Fiats were planning on the upgrade until they heard they couldn't get a manual.

>One key Giulia advantage is that it's a more interesting choice than an obvious German,a nd, unexpectedly, our experience on Italian roads suggests it rides better than a Jaguar XE.
THE BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED LADS
>>15071761
All that's left is to wait a few years and kek at the recalls and depreciation :^)
>>15071769
The new Jaguar XE, speaking about reliability, has some very serious issues...also the assistance is the worst shit I've ever seen.
...but it's selling.

Does everything here look to be in order. Like is everything there. I'm buying this 1966 mustang and I want to make sure this engine has everything it's supposed to have. Any help would be great.
>buying a 50 year old car
>can't tell this at a glance
You're gonna have a bad time.
>>15066548
It's a 302 v8. Around 5000 miles on it. I don't know if that helps.
>>15066543
It's missing the knudsen valve, but otherwise looks ok. How does it run?
Why don't you have a truck?
>>15066075
I used to. Found I was never using it to haul shit and I never drove it because it was a bitch and a half to park. So, I sold it.
I have no need for a truck.
Because I have a car
The modern V6 Mustangs and Camaros have over 300 horsepower. Why do you guys hate them? I am sure everyone would rather have the V8 versions, but not everyone shits gold bricks or wants to finance it for 100 years.
tl;dr, why is 300 HP too little for /o/ ?
>>15062379
>v6
lmao kill yourself
>>15062379
Because the whole point of the cars is the v8. You could buy a 370Z if you wanted a v6.
>buy the shitty budget version of a car for attention
>LOL NOT EVERY1 IS RICH GOD
Buy a different fucking car, it's the same story every time. The only reason you'd ever buy a V6 muscle car is so you can brag about it to equally automotive retarded normies

Been eyeing this since it went up. It's not expensive, but I'm flat broke and won't have the cash for it for at least 6 months or more. It looks so damn good too. In love with that dash.
>>15060942
that's your car isn't it op? you're trying to sell your shitbox to some poor anon aren't you?
i refuse to believe anyone but the owner would find this car an attractive buy.
>>15060966
Refuse to believe it all you want. It's not mine.

>>15054456
Yeah
> Rinse
> Snowfoam 2oz soap, let dwell for ~2-3 min.
If its a simple wash I will use Optimum wash, otherwise Megs Gold Class or CG Maxi Suds II as they will strip old wax fast. Used a glimour foam gun before and recently upgraded to a foam cannon I use with a pressure washer, $20 DUSICHIN off of amazon is the same thing CG sells for $80.

I currently use:

>Mothers clay bar kit
>Chemical Guys Pete's '53 car wax
>Chemical Guys Signature Series Wheel Cleaner
>Chemical Guys Silk & Shine rubber/plastic/leather detailer

I think automatic cars should be banned for anyone but females and the disabled.
Since... oh... the mid 2000's or earlier, automatics have been superior.

>It's better on gas

However for small cars and mid size trucks, Manual is the way to go In My Opinion
