I'm bored at work. Lets play a game. ITT anons post pictures of parts, the more obscure the better, and other anons identify the part and explain its use. Hopefully someone can learn something. I'll start.

What's the GM equivalent of a manual Fiesta ST?
May get a company car at some point and I want to be ready, but my company only buys GM.

>but my company only buys GM
why? GM is a shit company do you guys feel sorry for them or something? I can't understand why a company would just throw money away on GM cars.
Seriously though I don't think there's an equivalent. Like they have to be GM? I looked at their site they seem to only have large cars&trucks
>>15312409
This, just don't get the RS, get the LTZ in manual
It's mine. That's my car.

>Aston Martin announced a limited series production of the exhilarating Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Coupe; the latest creation from its long-standing partnership with the prestigious Italian design-house Zagato.
>>15311870
The Vanquish Zagato Concept was unveiled to great acclaim at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at Lake Como, Italy in May 2016. Thanks to unprecedented customer interest, a strictly limited production run of 99 cars will be built to order at Aston Martin's production facility in Gaydon, England.
Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato is the fifth car to emerge from a collaboration that stretches back over five decades, pairing Aston Martin's acclaimed dynamic and material qualities...

The collaboration with Zagato began with the beautifully muscular DB4 GT Zagato racing car of 1960 - now valued at over £10 million -, and includes the V8 Vantage Zagato launched in 1986, the 2002 DB7 Vantage Zagato and the V12 Vantage Zagato revealed in 2011.
>>15311877
The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato is a powerful addition to that portfolio; a GT car that blends Aston Martin's inherent refinement and capabilities with Zagato's characteristic design details, born out of racing and honed over many years of creating elegant luxury sports cars. Aston Martin's 6.0L V12 powertrain has been uprated to increase its output to 600PS, capable of delivering a projected 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds. This added performance matched to a unique suspension setup will create a unique...

It hurts me when american muscles have powerful engine, looks raw and great but are really hard to handle. I know the idea of building muscle cars was to drive straight long ways but even modern shitty car with 1.5 engine can faster overcome turnings on racetrack than american one. K, maybe I'm carrying it too far, but it's sad true.
So, is this really hard to drive old american sport car? Maybe you can get used to doing this everyday?
I'm a fag so sorry for my bad english.
Bait or not this legitimately made me kek.
If you really want these cars to handle and be track'able it isn't impossible and probably won't cost a lot of money. (assuming you have the money to buy a popular muscle car in decent shape that isn't rusted, worn out or needs TLC)
You could legitimately turn some of these into decent track cars such as the AMC Javelin which only weighs around 2,800-3,100 lbs. since these cars are very old i imagine they need some modern technology put into them (mainly decent tires, suspension and brakes) the Steering...

Nah, you can believe or not, but I'm serious.
So, that means without any modifications you can forget about nice driving.
I heard that Challenger r/t '70 can really good overcome turnings if you only change suspension and brakes.
>>15311772
And a blender can overcome its shortfalls as a fleshlight if you deal with the blades and the mince setting, what's your point? What do you mean by "nice driving?" What do you mean by "really hard to handle?" Is your head up your ass for the warmth? What answers are you trying to get here?
Hi /o/,
Last night while i was driving home i saw a place that sold used cars and i saw a red Ford that caught my attention (pic related). I've been searching on the internet about it, first i thought that was a Mustang but seems it's not. I'll thank your help. Sorry for the bad photo quality (was very dark there).
I'll post more photos.

I'm 6'5, is a late 90s Camry that much roomier than a corolla? The 97 corolla I had was really small
>>15311500
not by much
You'll need something bigger, like a lexus LS
I'll check out this 2000 corolla I've seen, but I don't think I need anything bigger than a mid size

You're a big guy
What's the point of a turbocharged engine if it gets bad fuel economy?
Where's the eco?

>lead foot
In a lab on a near friction-less surface, no wind, economical tires, those trucks may get 26mpg.
Same thing with the BMW i8,
They said 130+mpg
and top gear managed to average like 37mpg
>>15311469
My FiST gets 28mpg when I hoon like a complete asshat, 36 when I'm not being retarded.
I don't understand how anyone would be having fuel economy issues with these engines unless they we're standing on the accelerator 99% of the time, and even then.....
Eco-boost engnes are junk.

Remember when GM created good cars? Me neither.

Remember all these times that the corvette was faster than the GT-R?
No?
Probably because painful insecurities of the Nissan fanboys cherry picking the lap time from the motor trend track.
Can you guys redpill me on CVTs. Are they better than most standard automatic/manual transmissions? Are they fun?

No.

About as fun as a Golf Cart.

A manual transmission will be faster in most cases right?

I know that feel. It's the same way with the animes.
Instead of buying a new car for around 30k should I just buy a Golf Mk2 and dump it into that? Help me /o/

How do we fix the Fiesta ST?
Give it a LSD and make it $3,999 new so /o/ can afford it.
make it rear wheel drive and turbo
>>15311072
We don't. It's already powered by EcoBoost®. There's nothing wrong with it.
