Why doesn't /o/ love the middle finger to aristocracy car racing that is american automobiles
I like cars regardless of their country of origin.
>>14203487
Heathen, you do not belong on this board.
>>14203487
Likewise, the nationalistic shitposting on here is retarded.
(Korea is shit at making cars overall but I wouldn't write off a legitimately good car for being Koean)
It just screams fuck you while simultaneously laying rubber onto the tarmac
ugly
shit sounding
poor quality
annoying fanbase
>>14203832

No
Better than a majority of cars' fanbases
>>14203866
yeah
op asked why I dont love them
I gave my reasons why
>no on poor quality
hahahahah
>>14203889
If the biggest [objective] problem you have with a supercar is panel gap then I'd say it's a pretty good car.
>>14203551
Slower than a European race car.
>>14203900
other than it being ugly
ugly is unforgivable
its a shit car
looks arent subjective like people pretend
>>14203921
>I don't like how it looks so it's objectively ugly
Are you actually autistic? Like diagnosed?
>>14203921
>Snek or gt ugly
Found the blind man
>>14203928
its objectively ugly
just because you like it doesnt make it good looking youre like a fatty fucker
>>14203929
both are ugly
Viper sounds like absolute shit too
>>14203547
>>14203536
We need more posters like you two
>>14203889
>I don't know how hinge clearances work
>>14203948
>objectively ugly
Stupidest thing I've read all day.
>>14203948
So yes, confirmed autistic
>>14203477
Corvettes are ugly.
Ford GTs on the other hand...
>>14203958
>>14203964
>that moment when someone offends you and your shit taste
taste isnt subjective kids
there is good taste and the shit taste who like the objectively bad
>>14203889
Isn't the F40 also of low quality? i remember seeing Jeremy Clarkson review one and he listed all the things that was wrong with it for the price.
>big panel gaps
>"it was badly made"

>>14203997
the F40 is a balls to the wall supercar made for performance and nothing else
the GT isnt
>>14204004
>summing up objectivity in two words
that said, he is a fucking retard
>>14204010
F40s are literally made of old chicken bones, tile grout, and bagels, the GT is infinitely better constructed
>>14203487
>>14203547
i second the fact that we need more of you guys on /o/ and as enthusiast period.
>>14204022
kek'd
because the ideology behind them is equally as retarded as yuopean supercar aristocracy
>muh american underdog
Enzo was the son of a grocer with little formal education, in 1960 Ferrari was making 300 cars a year
In 1960 FoMoCo was the third largest corporation in the United States
Ford hired Lola to build it's race car and supplied the engines.
>>14203487
Amen.
I only judge cars on their own merits.
>>14204132
>expecting people who fanboy over "muh moosetang" to understand history
>>14204132
all the best Fords were European anyway
how its always been
>>14204132
This so much. USA was much more powerful when it mattered, yet hasn't produced much relevant cars because average car enthusiast is mustang-driving, cousin-fucking redneck from alabama who denies every aspect of performance bar quarter-mile time.
Because the blind loyalty of the market and protectionism by the government have made American cars a constant stream of horrid shit following the initial post-war boom and surge in quality. That American cars have been horrid from the beginning of the 70s all the way through the 90s and even up until the bailouts is a fact, but even when you think they've gotten their shit together nowadays they will still prove you wrong soon afterwards.
>>14204158
Sure, sounds like you know a lot about racing history
>>14204224
yeah a big 7 liter V8 barely beating 3.8 liter Jags is impressive
not
thats why no one takes American cars seriously
theyre complete garbage with big engines to make up for their lack of everything else
>>14203477
I remember Jeremy Clarkson selling that car because he could never actually finish a round trip journey without it breaking down.
>>14204236
>no one
No one meaning who? A subset of /o/ posters who discovered being a "car enthusiast" 2 months ago?
>>14204254
obviously most people seeing as no one cares about some shitty old Fords except you
only the British ones are remembered
>>14204236
>yeah a big 7 liter V8
>theyre complete garbage with big engines to make up for their lack of everything else
What if you have garbage that has a big engine but it still rivaled its competitors in areas where it wouldn't have mattered if they had an equal sized engine (displacement wise) cause they'd still lose?
>>14204224
>1 car
You sure showed him
>>14204254
>meaning who
Everyone outside of America, you wouldn't know that though
>>14204274
Not the original guy you were replying to of course and i uploaded the wrong pic.
>>14204224
>>14204254
>won in 1963
>againts 1.5 liter cortinas and 1 liter mini coopers that made less than 80 hp
>it had a 7 liter FE making 425 hp
top kek
>>14204287
but the corvette never won a GT1 championship
>>14203903
It isn't a racecar
>>14204308
>mfw the GTR did
>mfw the GTR BTFO the Corvette once again
>>14204283
Many successful American race cars were campaigned by non American teams, and still are, safe to say they "take them seriously" (as did the opponents losing to them). Unfortunately average non Americans (like you) aren't able to participate in amateur motorsports like Americans are, so I can't blame you for not knowing anything about racing history.
>>14204300
>won
Enough said, that's the goal of racing, to win within the constraints of the rules, pretty simple concept.
>>14204308
>>14204370
They didn't?
>pic related won in 2008 under the GT1 class
>>14203889
Slight panel gap is better than uneven panels you find in other cars.
>>14204393
you mean the old FIA GT?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_FIA_GT_Championship_season
>won by maserati
>>14203921
>>14204390
>be heartbreak
>arrive at the local arcade
>beat a number of kids
>"I won, enough said"
>>14204300
Why didn't they have the common sense to use more powerful cars?
>>14204554
i dont know
I think it was because it was "touring car championship" not "landyatch championship"
>>14204608
>touring cars aren't allowed to have powerful engines in your world
>>14203487
my nig
>>14204608
>euros got BTFO so hard they had to change the rules so that American cars couldn't enter anymore
>>14204554

>>14204706
>Jaguar and aston martin dominated sports motor racing in the 50's and 60's
>"b-but le me race againts econoboxes"
>"rekt yurop, rekt"
>"w-why are you banning this car that isnt affordable from affordable entry level racing"
lol how delusional
>>14204236
why do euros get so butthurt over not having big engines? stop being so fuckin jealous, its like saying a porsche is stupid cause it has fancy suspension to make up for a small engine.
>>14204772
>implying americans have big engines
>>14204783
at first i was mad at this, but now im confused.
>>14204794
>only 8 cylinders
>>14204709
>sportsmanship = introducing new rules to let your cars win rather than make competitive cars
>>14204772
It has fancy suspension to make up for poor engine placement.
>>14204802
sounds like IMSA and SCCA
>>14204800
>12 cylinders
>4.9 liters
>>14204819
yeah
v12s should have 6 liters
>>14204814
Racing in general, FWD WTCC teams cried enough to cripple rwd cars.
>>14204742
Not our fault you can't afford big engines in your econoboxes.
>>14204802
>sportsmaship = still crying after 40 years
>>14204842
Not our fault you dont even fit in an econobox in the first place
>>14204859
>willingly buying 1.2l diesel shitboxes
>>14204866
is there a rule in america that stops you from buying engines that are smaller than your individual portion coke bottle??
>>14204881
No, there's just no rules that stops you from buying anything bigger than 1.2l or with more than 4 cylinders.
>>14204902
it was pretty much like that in the old BTCC, but people didnt do that to keep things affordable
>>14204906
Again, not my fault you can't afford anything bigger than 1.2l.
>>14204926
give me a call when you can afford to make a v12

>>14204937
Try a V16.
>>14204881
No, it's called a want.
>>14204958
that turbo seems like more of a bottle neck than it is useful
![brmv16explodetview[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ArGZZKF.jpg "brmv16explodetview[1].jpg")
>>14204958
>what is BRM for 500
>>14204390
I wasn't talking about racecars
He was talking about American cars in general
I am able to participate no problem in motorsports?? What are you basing this on?
>not knowing anything about racing history
I don't really its not really my thing, I did follow touring cars for a bit though, the point was about ford, but good work at dodgeing the statement though.
Anyone whos been here knows your full of shit anyway, I'e seen you called out and proved wrong by people who know what they are talking about plenty of times
>>14204196
I read somewhere that lee Iacocca wanted to buy honda engines for an american small car in the mid 70's but HFII told him "No car with my name on the hood is going to have a Jap engine inside."
Then the oil crisis happened and everyone bought 40mpg civics
>>14205347
HFII was right. Ford were more than capable of making their own economical cars like your pic demonstrates.
>>14204982
???
>>14205363
And now the egoboost Stang is using a Mazda engine.
>>14205347
>several years later
>decided to put shittier fiat engines inside
>>14203487
I agree except for korean
>>14205391
Mazda was Ford's punk bitch, why shouldn't they take their shit
>>14205512
oh hello, would a twin turbo version of this change your mind?
>>14204132
that and they entered eight cars at a time
and some years had displacement more than 3x their nearest rival
