2018-09-05 13:16:44 UTC

Yes. It suits most Sports coupes

I wouldn't paint my Ferrari Green

but I would paint my Bugatti Blue

Aston is Green, as is Lotus

2018-09-05 15:52:55 UTC

Ferrari with a Viper colour scheme <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-09-05 22:10:31 UTC

Blue white stripes?

2018-09-06 09:58:19 UTC

Only just noticed the Stirling Moss reference, so now I know what it's based on, the 250 GT

2018-09-06 15:41:04 UTC

Itd be interesting to see a modern version of the Mercury Cougar as a Mustang with a high quality luxury interior.

Maybe an analog dashboard clock or some shit lol

2018-09-08 22:46:16 UTC

Something makes me want to get an AMC Eagle...

Surely if everyone in <#420834207590514690> put their heads together we could find a more viable modern alternative

2018-09-09 17:10:56 UTC

Can't. There's no modern equivalent.

Clunky 2dr hatchback with raised wheels

there MUST be something

2018-09-09 17:13:50 UTC

No, it's much more than that.

2018-09-09 17:14:43 UTC

2018-09-10 20:10:23 UTC

wach the police pat them self on the back for doing a good job making the world safer by impounding cars that is used in the outbacks most of the time where you measure the distances between people in miles

Time for a Donut boys

and not for a <#420834207590514690> type donut

2018-09-11 00:00:00 UTC

I mean, it seems like the owners of these vehicles could just not break the law and there wouldn't be a problem

2018-09-11 00:04:55 UTC

@LOGiK It seems the government could *not* be overly authoritarian and dictate how you use your property and what you do to it.

2018-09-11 00:05:31 UTC

for road safety? I don't really have a problem with regulations on that

2018-09-11 00:06:51 UTC

"For road safety"

There's nothing unsafe about these vehicles. They're just arbitrary rules that don't protect anyone. Take it from an American who is well involved in the offroading community. The statistics are negligible.

2018-09-11 00:07:21 UTC

lift kits almost invariably increase rollover chance

2018-09-11 00:14:37 UTC

@LOGiK If you're driving like an idiot, or don't do anything else along with it

2018-09-11 00:15:59 UTC

even if you do other things, raising the centre of gravity seriously messes up rollover probability and the point is in an emergency situation you don't want vehicles which can lose control easily or easier than normal because that puts occupants, other road users and pedestrians in danger

2018-09-11 00:16:34 UTC

Doesn't matter, still my property

2018-09-11 00:16:56 UTC

then you should also be free to drink drive right?

2018-09-11 00:17:00 UTC

it's your body

2018-09-11 00:17:12 UTC

who cares what danger you put other people in as long as it suits you

2018-09-11 00:20:06 UTC

That's a false equivalency, and you know it

2018-09-11 00:20:11 UTC

it really isn't

2018-09-11 00:20:17 UTC

Yeah, it is.

2018-09-11 00:20:37 UTC

it's not, you're creating an unnecessary danger to other people

2018-09-11 00:20:59 UTC

Lifting your vehicle in a geometrically safe way, is not the same as intoxication and losing control of your vehicle.

2018-09-11 00:22:21 UTC

Show me an example of a lifted vehicle which hasn't also increased its likelihood to roll and is outside of the Aus law allowance

2018-09-11 00:24:09 UTC

That one in the thumbnail. That thing is conservative as hell. Practically stock. Hell, it's about the same as some showroom stock trucks like the Raptor.

2018-09-11 00:24:49 UTC

You have no evidence to say whether or not the lift has impacted the roll probability one way or another, it isn't a valid example

2018-09-11 00:25:54 UTC

Intoxication creates a road hazard due to reduced control of a vehicle. Large lift kits create a road hazard due to reduced control of a vehicle. The outcome is the same. One is admittedly a greater risk than another, but that doesn't mean small risks should be acceptable

2018-09-17 15:52:33 UTC

probably followed by either the ionic or leaf

2018-09-17 15:52:52 UTC

but turning an etype electric is sacrilege

they ain't putting an electric in motor that

In the Formula1 chat we don't talk of Electric power

It is seen as sacrilege

but it's gunna be it's a E-Type

Selling a car is a much like making love to a beutiful woman

2018-09-17 19:38:53 UTC

I hope they call it something other than just corvette

2018-09-17 22:52:17 UTC

@LOGiK I think there's substantiated rumors it might be called the 'Zora'

The name Zora is an Arabic baby name. In Arabic the meaning of the name Zora is: Dawn.

Sounds kinda gay to me

So Spiders are all chop tops

So maybe this mid engined abombination to the Church of Corvettism will be a T-Top

2018-09-18 13:16:08 UTC

Zora is the name of the guy who was making all the mid engine Corvette prototypes in the 60s and 70s @Broo TulsiGang 2024 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

2018-09-18 15:50:38 UTC

I don't mind the idea of a corvette zora, I just don't want them pulling the fr model and replacing it with mr

but the Mid engined car is coming

cus what wins on Sunday, sells on Monday

2018-09-18 16:04:17 UTC

If Ford will do this AGAIN

it's not a punch at Ferrari as it was in the 60s

GM needs to punch back

and that thing^ doesn't even have a V8

2018-09-18 19:06:48 UTC

VW kills off the Beetle to be replaced by....

A small, electric, RWD, rear 'engined' 2 door sedan?

2018-09-20 04:16:50 UTC

Check out this batshit crazy GTI concept car. The car features a 6.0L W12 bi-turbo engine from the Bentley Continental GT delivering 650 PS (478 kW; 641 hp), 720 Nโ‹…m (531 lbโ‹…ft) of torque, 0-100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).[20] The W12 differs from the standard GTI in several ways. It features 19-inch wheels that resembled the GTI's. It is 70 mm (2.76 in) lower and 160 mm (6.30 in) wider, the rear seats have been removed to accommodate the mid-engine design, and the roof is made from carbon-fibre composite, front brakes are from the Audi RS4, and rear brakes and axle are from a Lamborghini Gallardo. The W12-650 achieved a time of 1:29.6 on BBC Top Gearโ€™s Power Lap feature. Jeremy Clarkson showed that the car had some trouble with high-speed cornering but was extremely fast in the straight sections of the track.

2018-09-20 04:17:29 UTC

mid engine

2018-09-20 04:17:59 UTC

At that point just make it a spyder looking thing than keep the hatchback lol

2018-09-20 04:18:17 UTC

no, this is actually a clever idea

2018-09-20 04:19:15 UTC

you see a hatchback gives you a useful car type for city driving as it affords more luggage space than a sedan but with a smaller footprint than a wagon

2018-09-20 04:19:21 UTC

super hot hatches are a thing now

2018-09-20 04:19:35 UTC

I mean.... is the cargo space still usable?

2018-09-20 04:19:38 UTC

the A45 AMG for instance is a 4-door hatchback supercar

2018-09-20 04:19:42 UTC

yea

2018-09-20 04:20:35 UTC

381HP AWD, 0-60 in 4.2s

2018-09-20 04:20:36 UTC

Thinking about it though, a VW MR-2 kind of thing would be kinda neat

2018-09-20 04:22:22 UTC

my idea would be a 2-door Golf-sized hatchback with a twin turbo Audi motor or possibly a VR6 which is the greatest six-cylinder engine ever devised, AWD, roughly 400hp and very wide with fat tires

2018-09-20 04:22:47 UTC

it would be a perfect track weapon for one and its actually usable unlike most 400hp cars these days

2018-09-20 04:23:23 UTC

theres no reason a fast car can't have a realistic sized cabin and storage area and basic features, all that power easily makes up for the weight

2018-09-20 04:23:48 UTC

hell stick the TT RS inline 5 in it

2018-09-20 04:24:07 UTC

thats a badass engine, descendant of the OG quattro

2018-09-20 04:26:28 UTC

80 horsepower per cylinder, 160HP per liter

2018-09-20 04:27:46 UTC

mark my words, hot hatches will be big soon

2018-09-20 04:29:11 UTC

I'll take a hot hatch if it's RWD

2018-09-20 04:30:15 UTC

already theres an arms race for super hot hatches, Golf R, Civic Type R, Focus RS, A45 AMG, Audi S3, and lots of like SEAT and peugout and shit

2018-09-20 04:30:35 UTC

no you want AWD for a compact car honestly

2018-09-20 04:30:48 UTC

the weight distribution favors AWD

2018-09-20 04:30:56 UTC

these are primarily grip cars

2018-09-20 04:31:06 UTC

๐Ÿคท

2018-09-20 04:31:30 UTC

RWD wouldn't be that useful with so little weight versus that power

2018-09-20 04:31:37 UTC

not without comically wide tires

2018-09-20 04:31:55 UTC

"Useful" is a relative term lol

2018-09-20 04:32:07 UTC

which the hatchback body style is best suited for square sets of wheels and AWD

2018-09-20 04:33:33 UTC

btw what i described basically exists

2018-09-20 04:33:46 UTC

not in the US i think unfortunately

2018-09-20 04:33:53 UTC

but still, 400hp hatchback

2018-09-20 04:34:10 UTC

this is the fastest stock hatchback ever made i think

2018-09-20 04:36:01 UTC

the closest would be the A45 AMG at 376bhp which is technically faster to 60 but hey, 400 hurspurrs

2018-09-20 04:37:04 UTC

also the M140i has 335bhp

2018-09-20 04:37:17 UTC

so theres an M division hot hatch

2018-09-20 08:38:51 UTC

the majority of hatchbacks don't do well as rwd because of the wheelbase, the w12 golf wasn't actually good if I recall

2018-09-20 08:39:41 UTC

I don't think it's valid to call any of them "supercars"

2018-09-20 08:42:19 UTC

weirdly the most interesting hatchbacks of the past outside of stuff like the lancia delta s4 was probably the renault turbo 2 and clio v6

Radeon posted a Golf I actually like. We can find a postive in everything.

V6 makes sense. W12 in Golf. Probably a bit much

it would have been very interesting to see that

I'm sort of surprised the h2r had the traction to do that well

2018-09-23 15:46:48 UTC
