Why do I see so often this kind of shitty comparison here?
Why would you only compare cars based on power?
Is it because America mainly consists of shitty straight roads?
If for you Driving consists of applying pressure on a single pedal in an automatic car, then you can consider yourself as a faggot.
TL;DR Light is right, prove me wrong.
>>15363539
That's a nice picture, but the current Camaro is neck and neck with an M4.
It's old info.
Might as well put a Mclaren F1 and a C7 up there and shit on the English for needing 600+ horsepower to keep up with American v8
i thought most AMG cars have more than 500 hp
arent cars from england the same way?
like a F type, etc
i think euros drove a few muscle cars and thought hey, this is fun we can do it too
>>15363550
This.
Europe and US both do fantastic muscle cars.
do you even stand on your car pham?

>fat fuck makes it look small
Amazing.

Fuckin hell are you on here 24/7?
>park at comfy gas station for refueling and chilling
>check oil level afterwards
>people keep staring at me like they've never seen an oil check before
>Pull up behind some dickhead at the servo
>finish filling up, proceeds to stick their fat head under the bonnet
>4 years later they're still looking at fuck knows what
Do it at home faggot, or at least get out of the fucking way first
They just want a tug on their dipsticks.
>>15363354
But the gas station was close to empty and it was a comfy Sunday
Are boyracers as retarded as these in my country lads?

If your country has cars and idiots, then yes they are in your country.

At what point in time did you realize that V6's are better than V8's for track performance? Why would you want unnecessary weight if you're trying to create a lightweight vehicle?
>talks about lightweight vehicles

Wat. Well, yeah, it's lighter than an Mustang, okay.
What's your opinion on 200k mile trucks, alot of them are only available in my price range.
So, how can I not pick a lemon and how can I make it last to 300,000 miles?
Pic related, it's one I'm looking at
>that 454 tho
If you don't need a 3/4 or 1 ton don't get one. The gas will kill you. At that mileage it is a just as much luck as anything else. Drive it thoroughly to see how the transmission shifts and if the engine smokes. I myself would trust a F150 with a 300 I6 and a manual trans more than anything else with high mileage. As far as making it last, Change fluids when you should and keep an close eye on the oil level.

my dad had 2x 1991 K1500 suburbans
a 454 one sold at 302K miles completely stock engine.
still ran fine
he still has a 350 model with 290K
very tired engine
i'm 100% sure the cam is flat at this point.
SBCs keep on going
>>15362984
I have 286k on my 02 Sierra 1500. Original trans, original engine. Key to them lasting is keeping them stock and maintenance, maintenance, maintenance.
Look for one that hasn't been modded or lifted and ask the seller questions about how they maintained it.
Depending on the company that owned it, sometimes fleet trucks can be a good buy if they actually had a fleet manager who did his job right. That's how I bought mine. It had 130k on it but the equipment yard I bought it from performed and kept records of everything they ever had done to the truck. Got it for $1200 at one of their auctions and it's been a good truck.

Should i do a crvtec swap on it and how??
Low comp forged internals, 4xx cc injectors, a garrett t25 and you'll push 250 without an issue for under 2k
Thanks, and will the stock wires and tubes fit into the crvtec b20?
Or was that tune u gave for a stock b18?
>>15362983
>crvtec
I have been a Honda enthusiast and mechanic for 5 years and have never heard of this term. Are you talking about a b20 block with a vtec head?
>driving over the speed limit
>cunt in fwd honks at me to go faster
>exiting roundabout when fwd tries to merge

>he she keeps speeding up because she has to get in front of me for some reason
Why are fwd drivers such cunts?
>>15362927
Here's your reply
i think we're done here
>>15362927
A Honda Civic is made to go fast. You can't drive one slow. Haven't you played NFS Underground
I know nothing about cars or engines.
So I saw a 300 the other day and it had that distinctive muscle car rumble to it that was very throaty. I like the sound and heard that it is accomplished by installing an aftermarket cam.
Is there any performance increase? I am not going to do it just for the sake of the sound, cool as i find it.
How much do these things generally cost? What are the different 'stages', and what do they mean?
I heard there is idling problems with some. Which is the best choice for a daily driver car?
Do you need to modify the exhaust to accomplish the distinctive sound?
I am looking for a sound similar to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9quMtob76z0
And the most important question is: is this safe to do and does it fuck up your car long term if you do it? Is it worth doing?
Also any other information would be helpful.
>yes I have googled the majority of these questions and get conflicting answers on most of them, since I know nothing about it I figured I would ask here since I may get more consistent answers.
Thank you
I think you have some research to do senpai. Those questions all suggest you don't really know what a cam even does.
Watch a few episodes of Engine Masters
There are no aftermarket cams for 3.6 engines
Get a V8, Son.
>>15362759
Thanks for the no help.
>>15362780
At least you gave me a bit of useful information before you became a cunt, son.
I need some advice /o/, or for you to talk some sense into me.
I really want to learn more about working on cars through working on this project car. I'm pretty sure it's a near lost cause and has some pretty big rust holes in both rear quarter panels. It does actually start, but almost stalled out when I reved it above idle.
I just love the idea of getting a dying car working again. Not to mention, the interior of this car is in good condition, it's just the body that's full of rust. They want $1900 for it, and I'm pretty sure it would just be a money pit, but I just love the idea of working on it.
Advice? Ideas of a better starting point? Better approach to this car?
*le bump*
>>15362704
If you want to learn how to work on a car get a running one and fix it when it breaks.
>>15362799
Pretty much.
Also that's a shit-tastic deal OP. Rust and running like shit makes this car $800 TOPS... as in I literally passed on a Z31 this color, same rust, running well but overheating because I thought it was a waste of time.
>calls himself an auto enthusiast/hobbyist
>he can't drive stick

>he can't drop a tranny and change a clutch on jackstands

>he's never had a head gasket leak after spending a day putting it together

signs of useless fags general
>>15362649
Driving will be gone in a decade with the advent of driverless cars. None of this hardly matters, and will be looked upon as the ramblings of an archaic mongoloid in a tech museum in the not doo distant future.
>>15362658
Found the useless fag.
2/10 bait, made me reply.
>>15362665
What is useless is human input as vehicular identification sensors improve. It's the driver that is useless.
performance aside, who has the best technology and gadgets?
I think the new Honda Accords are up there
srsly

Greetings car enthusiasts, I`m in need of new projects, so perhaps you would like to present your old, tired, damaged and battered cars to me??
I don`t think you realize the opportunity that you`re missing here, old car owners!!
>>15362540
What'd you do?
>>15362997
I pick up cars that are wasted, old or badly damaged, redesign and do a complete overhaul on them, leaving it like new again.
I bought pic related.
Did I do good or did I fuck up real bad?
SX trim, so 2,4 L.

Wtf are those 2 toned rims
Hi /o/ long time lurker here about to buy a brz as a daily car. I was wondering if rwd is capable of surviving during the winter with snow.
Yes, I've been DDing a RWD for years in Canadian winters. Get good winter tires, not all seasons, and if you have a light car (Brz probably counts) put some sand bags in the trunk for extra traction, or emergency grip medium
>>15362336
Tires make or break a car in winter. Your $70,000 Audi with Quatro AWD isn't going to be stopping any faster on ice with bald all seasons. Having a light foot on both the gas and brake will also make the world of difference.
>>15362336
yes, get proper tires and use common sense and you'll be fine
