Did the owner of a Cobalt SS Turbo rape your waifu or something?

The mx6 GT is for faggot losers
>>15081166
So yes he did rape your family.
>>15081081
but my factory twin turbo powered 3.5l awd car is good op..
my guess is that you're a butthurt busrider tho, so fuck you
>>15082773
Maybe he was talking about GTI fags thinking their GOLF is superior.
I love my speed3 quite frankly
>>15081081
my factory 1.8t ff is good. good at hauling my ass around.
>>15083756
anon your engine got mounted sideways what happened?
>>15081081
Since when is factory turbo bad? You have good supporting hardware and plenty of options for modifications if you want in most cases.
>>15083776
it means the company had so little faith in their stock NA they turbod it just so that it could BARELY reach "performance car" status.
it limits what you can do with the car
and if it's FWD you might as well give up
>>15083802
Oh, lol. So what about cars that never had NA versions to begin with? Or tarbodiesel?
>>15083815
Listen, I'm just being paid to make fun of >>15083756

Kek you think you can laugh at anyone?

What's wrong with fwd?
Sorry I'm not from /o/

It's slower in theory, but still faster than a miata

My car is....
FWD Twin turbo
Pretty much in factory setup.
>>15083802
not true of many turbo cars (FWD or not)
Some companies over-engineer their blocks and you can push 500HP out of a two-liter stock bottom end e.z.
>>15083802
>>15084076
Weight transfer during acceleration works against FWD
Also has understeer problems, because one axle does both steering and acceleration work
Not a great performance platform but transverse mounting of the engine does increase drivetrain efficiency
>>15085086
no
I didn't even mention torque steer from the (typically) uneven driveaxles
>>15085053
>owns a 80hp diesel punto
lel
>>15083717
there is nothing wrong with torquey front wheel drive turbo cars
>>15085096
I own a modified turbo Saab and a stock MR2 turbo
>>15085053
fuck that's actually hilarious
>>15084169
That looks nice and by far the best looking gen, the older ones look like garbage IMO.
>>15085116
This isn't benchracer shit I'm talking about
torque steer, wheelhop, and extra understeer during spirited driving are real FWD problems
>>15085168
Have you ever driven a FWD turbo with 300 torks?
>>15085189
just stop replying to him man, he probably drove his dad's corvette once, but dailys a miata
>>15085196
not an argument
>>15085193
No, he rides the bus every day.

Bye Corey

found the benchracer
MazdaSpeed3 is love
>>15085250
That doesn't even make sense. I just want you to tell me about your saab
>>15084844
Every review raves about the power, the handling, and the brakes.
Mine stops on a dime with factory equipment. When i need new rotors, i'm gonna go 2-piece to reduce some unsprung weight, and probably get some Hawk ceramics and SS lines.
>>15085098
More torks than your shitty hairstylist car.
>>15085257
1999 9-3
TD04, crossflow intercooler, Aero brakes, doubled rear sway bar, new stock front suspension, ARP head studs because I'm going to crank up the boost soon
>>15085284
Accept those problems are specific to your car and not a drive train
>>15085321
He literally just explained why it's specific to most FWD cars in >>15085064
>>15085344
Corey please go.
>>15085352
Corey posts gibberish and thinks Initial D is real life, and has poor grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Anon and I are talking to you with clear, concise statements, using our basic knowledge of physics to explain widely known phenomena of FWD cars.
>>15084076
its a meme
>hurr fwd cant turn and rwd AlWAYS has better handling
>meanwhile they ignore that 95% of muscle cars cant turn
>>15085372
I don't think anyone here believes that. Chassis matters far more than drivetrain, but drivetrain is a matter of some importance.
>>15085380
Not really. They're on equal playing fields. You just haven't driven enough cars
>>15085387
FWD is inherently harder to balance in a chassis, often has unequal length halfshafts and control arms as mentioned previously, which leads to torque steer as well as less than ideal bump handling characteristics, and the forces at play while cornering tend to promote understeer. It's useful in 2wd rally classes where having weight over the drive wheels is extremely useful, and a reliance on the handbrake is expected, but that's about it.
Have an extremely poor diagram to emphasize the point about understeer.
This does not mean every FWD car has poor handling, or every RWD or AWD car handles well. I'm just talking about disadvantages specific to FWD.
>>15085407
I disagree, drive more. You have to go off more than numbers with cars
>>15085415
You're talking to somebody who's repeatedly won outlaw class kart races against faster machines and driven a wide variety of cars in poor conditions that exacerbate their handling flaws through being a sober cab driver.
All you have presented as a counterargument is "nuh uh you should drive more".
>>15085255

Damn I've been eyeing one of these like a motherfucker, but they're just out of my price range.
Still though, ultimate sleeper.

You just hate fwd. Jalopnik kiddie
