American cars pictures/discussion/stories etc. Only cars from the greatest nation in the fucking world allowed.
God bless America
Ford Vs. GM Vs. Dodge discussions/arguments are also allowed.
That being said, GM a shit, fuck Ford, hail to the snek!
I want a snek truck.
>>14168453
The closest snek truck that exists is a Ram SRT 10.
>>14168376
I love the snek. Snek is like that buddy who is always there for you, that slaps you in the back everytime he sees you, and doesn't really have an indoor voice. He loves you, but he won't hesitate to punch you in the face if you do something stupid.
>>14168356
Would the viper benefit from a DCT ?
And is it really kill in 2017?
>>14170852
Probably yes, but would go against the principles of the Viper. The viper had only the bare minimum. It would be like having a TVR with an automatic tranny and all kind of technologies.
And yes, sadly the viper is discontinued in 2017. It has been a thorn in FCA's side for too long, and it started challenging the V12 ferraris in performance, so they probably whined about it like they always do. Also I heard that the car in general didn't sell so well, but I'm not that sure.
>>14170924
The car is just too hard core for modern posers who just buy supercars for their looks.
GOD BLESS AMERICAS
IT TAKES A MOPAR 2 CATCH A MOPAR
THE NIGGA THAT ZIG
>>14170940
That's not strictly an American car though. It was designed and sold in Europe as an Opel and Vauxhall from 1984 onwards, then in South Korea as a Daewoo from 1986 onwards and only in 1988 did they start to ship it to the US and badge it as a Pontiac. Also even in native Europe it had a terrible reputation.
I'm all for shitposting terrible American cars, but it's double as fun when they're real American garbage.
>>14168356
tfw Europe makes better muscle cars than America.
>>14170996
>expensive as fuck
>muscle
>>14171037
>implying Aston Mustang with the 7.0l is anything but muscle
>>14170996
Thats clearly a second gen Mustang with an Aston badge welded on.
>>14170960
Nice Opel Omega, mang.
>>14171062
Ironically it was still better than Cadillacs of the time in a number of regards and would've actually been considered a decent car if it hadn't been for its atrocious reliability.
>>14168356
Am I allowed to like snek if I'm not american?
>>14170996
>implying astons are anything but overpriced pretty pieces of shit
just get a 911 if you want a fast gt car
>tfw you will never live in the US and run a side business plowing snow in winter
>with your family car
>>14171037
>>expensive as fuck
Coz they does it better and build quality

American cars are alright.

Why live?
>>14171703
Move to the United States and I'll give you a gun as a housewarming gift.
That's just what we do here.
>>14171718
>Move to the United States
The one thing that infuriates me even more than US immigration laws are people who nonchalantly suggest others to simply move there.
>>14171718
Oh yeah, that too
>Too expensive to own an American made V8
>LOLNOGUNS ENJOY BEING RAPED BY PAKIS FUCK YOU
I just wanted a 21st century V8 Challenger and a .45 1911, two of my main goals in life. Both are nigh unattainable in Europe.
>>14171730
Or you're just too poor, as they say in America.
>>14171739
Well that too, but when a Challenger RT costs twice as much as a Porsche over here and a Hellcat is almost in the supercar territory in prices, something is really really wrong.
>>14171729
I know people who have moved here from the UK. As they tell me, the process is long, but not hard. Much quicker if you can find a company willing to give you a serious job.
>>14171730
You have good taste.
>>14171757
The process is not only long, but actually impossible unless you have a degree and get a job offer, find someone to marry or utterly luck out on the lottery. And degrees aren't nearly as much of a thing in Europe than in the US, here in Germany we have a tiered school system and half the school graduates aren't even eligible to study. You can find a perfectly normal job if you go to occupational school instead of college, but it's not eligible for work visas to the US.
>>14171729
What's wrong with people moving into the states? I'm as white as it gets, educated and prepared to work for my money and stuff, so I don't see a problem there.
looking at a 2015 charger r/t. are they shit cars? i don't want any model year older than 2015 cause i like the redesign. is certified pre-owned worth it?
>>14171789
Also with recent immigration politics it's starting to become a viable option to just fly to Canada and walk across the largely unsecured border illegally. Police aren't allowed to ask for your legal status, tons of states allow illegals to pay taxes and get drivers licenses now, what's even the downside anymore?
>>14171792
Nothing, it's the fact that Americans think you can simply pack your things and move there, when in reality the country has some of the harshest legal immigration in the western world.
![2017-Ford-GT-3[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Ahf28VS.jpg "2017-Ford-GT-3[1].jpg")
Will it be any good? It is already my favorite looking car now.
>>14171805
No no no, of course it isn't that easy. Shit, if it was that easy and cheap, I'd done it a long time ago.
Probably the first thing to do when you move into the states is to get a hold of a good job and I can't really do anything else except shoot and fix cars, so that's a no go for me.
>>14171805
>the country has some of the harshest legal immigration in the western world.
I'm not a proponent of artificial boundaries, I believe in unrestricted immigration -- but if you lived in the place that everybody wanted to go, wouldn't you have strict immigration laws, too?
When people move around the world, the first choice is pretty much always the United States.
>>14171815
>wouldn't you have strict immigration laws, too?
Yes, but I'd give preferential treatment to the developed world because I'm a bit of a racist.
>>14171809
The supercar of the decade.
When everyone else is weighing their cars down with heavy hybrid systems and ~1000 horses of unusable power, Ford's gone completely the other direction, designed the lightest car with the smallest envelope possible. It's basically the Lotus philosophy applied to a full-scale enclosed supercar. That it's so incredibly looking is just icing on the cake.
If I had millions to burn, I'd definitely take one over a LaFerrari, P1, etc.
>>14171917
And on top of that, it's less than half the price of the yurotrash big 3 too.
>>14171815
I'd trade my firearms for free passage and citizenship to Iceland or NZ. America is getting a little too insane. Time to abandon a sinking ship.
Hope they let me bring my coal burning V8 though.
>>14171824
kek
at least you're honest/10
>American cars
The new Ford GT is designed and built in Canada (Ford outsourced everything to Multimatic, apart from the engine block it would seem).
>>14171917
I hope it works out for them. The new ferd direction makes me think our car industry isn't completely out of touch in murica.
>>14171799
s-someone please h-help
>>14172029
It's big, It's V8 and it's American. I'v heard people on /o/ complain about them, but then again I've heard people over here in Finland praise them because they can take a beating.
Shit, if it's good enough for the cops it's probably good enough for you too.
>>14171936
>I'd trade my firearms for free passage and citizenship to Iceland or NZ. America is getting a little too insane. Time to abandon a sinking ship.
When freedom comes a-calling you decide to jump ship?
C'mon.

>>14171917
The fact that it is not a hybrid is my favorite thing about it. It also has less fuel consumption. If it has good mileage for a super car it will be a huge success. I hope it will result in Ford designing sport and saloon cars with the same aesthetic and design principles.
The 2005 GT was damn beautiful too.
>>14172614
Ford is the only company that doesn't need hybrid shit to lower emissions and still make fast cars.
Ford once again confirmed GOAT.
>>14172629
>>14172637

3rd gens without the RS/z28 fender body kit look horrible.
>>14170996
Looks like an ugly version of the mustang fastback.
>>14172645
>implying it's possible to find these in good shape
>>14173421
How do you keep your rear quarters clean? You'd think all the dirt and grime from the road would just sit in there.
>>14173421
>>14173432

Certified pre owned should be good, just make sure the dealership has service records that show it's been taken care of.
:^}
The krauts can say that they invented cars all they want. This is the first REAL car.
>>14173708
Ford, the inventors of the car as we know it and still the best manufacturer in the world
>>14173717
correct

>>14173832
Okay, the Shelby might be a little much but the Velociraptor is the fucking god machine.
>>14168356
i would absolutely love to own a snek, but i get myself in plenty enough trouble with pic related. if i had more power i'd probably get my license revoked.
FUCK!
I missed a good thread but i didn't think anyone would even post anything so i just left...
Hours later and there are 100+ post.
Most of the interesting discussions are now over.. anyway here's my Murican car.
>Saleen S5S Raptor
Never made it out of concept but i wish it did.. looks beautiful in my opinion and if it were made there's no doubt it would've been fucking god-tier.
>>14170948
I had a '92 colt as my first car about 15 years ago, nifty little thing
Motor was mitsubishi tho
>>14170210
If it has a V10, how much lbs can it haul?
