The Fastest Ever Drift.
Nissan has set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the fastest drift using the specially tuned MY16 Nissan GT-R by entering a drift at a speed of 304.96 km/hr.

I doubt you're driving anything with four-digit horses, so it's to be expected

Who gives a shit?
Why didnt these come with v8 and no tacky bumpers?
Yes i know we have the caterham, atom and countless cali made open wheel clones but why would you put a 200hp v6 behind a auto and call it a 'hotrod' with dumb bumpers?

Boomer mobile.
Like the Thunderbird.
>>14824309
people have v8 swapped them tho so why not give it the 400hp ls from the factory?
fuckup of the highest order
It should have at least been available as an SRT
Hey folks, I just started drivin my manual civic I just bought a few days ago and have a couple questions. For one, my handbrake seems to be a little loose. Are manual hand takes normally a little loose when not engaged? If I move my hand an bump it up on accident it will move a bit. Second, for braking, should I engage the clutch right before I start braking or before I come to a complete stop? Also wondering, is just shifting to neutral and then using the brake bad at all? Thanks in advance
>>14824300
Your handbrake shouldn't be loose, the cable may have lost tension over time. You might need to replace it.
Shifting to neutral and using your brakes isn't bad. Memesters will tell you how much faster it wears your brakes than engine braking but pads are a wear item anyway and they're easy to replace. I'd only care if I had some archaic POS that still had rear drum brakes.
>>14824310
What about the clutch? Do you only use it while braking before you come to a full stop?
Shifting to neutral before braking isn't "bad" per se, just wastes a bit of fuel. Personally, I leave it in gear to take advantage of fuel cut during engine braking, then when when I'm about to come to a stop I shift to neutral and let the clutch out to save wear on the throwout bearing.
Whenever I have to fart I get out of my car to do so. If I'm driving and can't get out then I don't fart.
Is that weird /o/?
>>14823841
:(
What should I do?
>>14823847
Fart
>>14823873
But it makes the car smell.
yo /o/

it had some small engine problems when i bought it, all of which i fixed the first day.
how'd i do?

What colour interior?
>>14823844
Beige/Tan w/ Leather
Reliable, comfortable, powerful, stylish. 10/10 op would ride with.
Chevrolet Corvair. I don't know what year but it's a 60s car

You mean corvette.
Thanks!
Who here legitimately dislike Nascar? Why?
>>14822778
Because I'm black.

Watching cars that are all practically the same going around an oval track is boring
Racing in general is like golf, Its fun to play but a bore to watch on TV
Why is the shitposting and banter on /o/ so low in quality compared to other boards?
>Camaro vs M4
>Mustang vs M3
>Corvette vs GT-R
>FWD vs RWD
These were only fun for a couple days at most. After that, it was just boring and predictable as fuck. How do we improve /o/?
>>14822433
well we can talk about how shit your car is
/o/ is fine, stop going to those (insignificant car) vs (just as insignificant car) threads, dipshit.
Instead of looking for le epiccc banter xDDD just post about actual car discussion.
creating fun /o/ related OC is hard as fuck
you should be thankful fastestlaptimes does all the hardwork for you
there is nothing else but benchracing, what exactly are we going to banter about?

>Faster around a track than similarly priced Camaro, Mustang or Challenger while making on average 100 hp less than the american v8s
Whats next for BMW?
>>14822322
>similarly priced
They never tested the new Camaro ZL1.
>>14822322
>""""""""""similarly priced"""""""""""
Getting sold in limited number and then being canceled in favor of an even larger "mid size" offering made to appease Chinese tastes in executive """""sports""""" luxury.
>>14822349
Now, now, it would be more correct to say they have yet to test the new ZL1.
But the Old Z28 fits in the price bracket just fine and humiliates Porsche GT3s, never mind M2s.
As much as I love shitposting and false flagging on this board, I'd like this to be a serious thread. The design philosophy behind these 3 cars is very far removed from the rest of the worlds sports cars, so hearing some foreign perspectives on them would be interesting.
How do Euros honestly feel about the Challenger/Mustang/Camaro?
Aussie here, even by our standards they're bloated and fuckin heavy. The blind spots look like absolute crap, and I've never actually seen any of those cars being driven quickly well.
>>14821852
Most people don't even know they exist.
froggie reporting it
People here either :
-don't really know about it since Dodge and Mustang have pretty much no presence whatsoever due to limited number of sellers and high import prices, and Chevrolet are just now starting to become a somewhat not-unusual sight. Thus they tend to think they are just regular sport cars except for americans and by americans.
-know what they are, sort of, and find them very unpractical and unappealing due to high fuel consumption and overall not being the best choice considering how our roads are (too heavy to drive well on D...

What do people think of the MR2?

Here we go.
I've owned 3 mk1s and 2 mk2s. One turbo one NA
I loved them all
But this is /o/ so everyone will tell you they suck. AMA

Nice, but it will kill you if you drive it in the rain, or look at a miata.

Should I pull the trigger on this? It seems like the shittiest of shitboxes for short distance driving here in Portland. The mileage is unbelievable.
>>14822635
>still has the fucking toolkit
Fuck yes buy it. Buy it and take care of it.
>>14822635
plz buy it and love it. don't fuck with the stock
I don't think I've ever seen an 80's hyundai on craigslist before, I guess they either all broke down or rotted away.
10/10 dank red interior though.
The Ford Mustang is now the best selling sports car in Germany.

Are BMW ever going to go back to building lightweight sporty cars?
both the m2 and the m4 are lighter than the camaro
faster aswell
The current M5 isn't even that heavy, and dyno's to way more power than BMW says it has. It'll be faster than you're shitbox that's for sure.
>>14821596
Yeah but it won't be as fun.
