ITT post and talk about your favorite NA inline sixes. A high revving NA inline six is a beautiful thing that not enough people get to experience, too many are obsessed with dyno numbers like 2JZ, RB26, Barra and N54 fanboys. I just wish I could find a TVR Speed Six for a reasonable price, because what non-pigfat car wouldn't be served well by an alloy I6 making 400hp NA?Pic related, a glorious classic

>>20978773German inline 6’s are fap material
>>20978773Nice.
>>20972441>211 producedWhat the fuck, i thought they made at least 10 times that
Why can't GM or Chrysler make desirable products like Ford?>last gen Ford GTs appreciating to 300k, original GT40s are worth over ten million>new Ford GTs having no problem selling at half a million, production extended from 500 to 1000 to 1350 units>people buying GT350Rs for 25k over sticker, GT500s will be going for over 100k>able to sell a literal compact hatchback for over 40k if they call it the RS>make the coolest and most hyped truck of all time with the RaptorMeanwhile>Chevy makes supercar killers for under 100k but people still expects discounts on them because they look like dogshit and have no soul
>>20978119>They don't do anything better than anybody else they make better chassis than BMW, and the best sedan chassis in the world. better driver's cars than BMW/Toyota/Ford with better handling.Better electric cars than Ford/Tesla/any german/japs.(show me an electric car by the mentioned with better range than the bolt)
>>20978119You forgot another American auto maker who also happen to be shitting all over Mercs and BMWs.
>>20978019youre so fuckin right that someone shoukd swap that twin turbo v8 in a new ford gt and call it 'the only real gt'
>>20978492Electric cars are a retarded envirofag hippie mene
>>20977998>>Chevy makes supercar killers for under 100k but people still expects discounts on them because they look like dogshit and have no soulthe problem with GM is that they have always thought of the Corvette as their crown jewel but dont actually treat it like one. they have killed so many other past car projects with real potential because they didnt want any Pontiac or Buick models to be faster or more powerful than the Corvette, even in the C4 years when it was bloated hot garbage holding the company back.its too cheaply made at the base level to do anything but depreciate and the higher level models are ***too*** track focused to be appreciated by collectors and people who buy Ferraris to socially stand out, not set lap times. additionally there arnt enough special editions or unique models that are worth collecting, nobody cares about your C5 Z06 because there was also a C6 and C7 Z06 and there will be a C8 Z06 2-3 years from now.
How does one find a 99 Saab 9-3. I have been to almost every used and new car lot in my town and nobody has one. Its all modern crossovers, 1998 ford escorts and a singular RX-8 in my town.

I'm in Hamburg and want to buy a car and drive it to my shithole of a post soviet homeland (doesn't matter which one).I was going to buy a merc c320 cdi (the 165kw one, i know a pro chip-guy so he would've remapped it). It got sold before i got to it and i was kinda happy about it, because i had an excuse to go look for something i actually like. Checked an mx5 for 1800€ but it had rust coming op on every single body panel.What next? I want a rwd, either high powered diesel normie car or mx5ish fun. Budget 4k €. What would a sane human do?
>>20980173You're Irish surely?
>>20980364They're Germans. Being miserable is, like, their job.
>>20980364If you think Germans are miserable you'll love Finland then
>>20980364stay mad nigger, if you want to leave then we don't even have a problem.Tourism is doing a vacation, not buying cars to import them into your shithole of slavshit country and not pay taxes for cars that are german in germany but drive them most likely even with stolen german plates in your commie shithole

ITT: Cars you will be able to buy for pennies in 10 years
>>20979880You just strengthened my points that Americans are the reason why there's a Crossover Fever. You guys started the trend and it spread like wildfire. Now we have crap like X3M, X6M and etc. Every heard of wagons? They are more practical and much more fuel efficient than a similar sized crossover. But naah, your market thinks wagons are ugly. That's plain stupid. It was all good when the SUV numbers were low and normal car numbers were higher. Sitting higher, my ass. You just sitting an inch or 2 above normal height cars. And yet the idiot buyers of crossovers think they are capable of offroading.
>>20980051Wagons are ugly trash, crossovers are the best all around vehicle you can buy.
>>20975754B-b-but that's the official BMW killer! You promised me, /o/. After the Cadillac STD-V didn't kill BMW I put all my hopes in this one! Don't tell me the Stinger didn't kill BMW either?!
>>20979506Congrats on missing the point.Do you think that non-QF Giulia buyers (who are also looking at C-classes, 3-series, A4's, and IS's) care about having a pure driving experience? They want a sport sedan, a car that's easy to daily but still feels sporty enough to enjoy. The 4C is a sports car, the Giulia is not.
>>20977147Bargain bin v8s tend to hold the highest percent value over time though. Once your 2-3 generations behind, nobody cares what tech features or options the car has. A used platinum or premium or whatever trim is going to go for roughly the same price as a lesser optioned base with the same drivetrain.
Looking to get into karting. Anybody here who can give me some advice? I'm 19 and only looking to do it as a """cheap""" form of wheel to wheel racing. Might start with a rental league and then move into TaG after I've gotten the basics down. What's driving a proper race kart like? Can I still be competitive at 6'1"? Not trying to run nationals or anything, just club events for fun.
I raced them a little but not competitively or anything. Idk where you aree but they can be kinda expensive to start off with. I'm 19 and 6'1 as well, fit in most karts fine although it is on the taller side, however you shouldn't have any problems at all.
lol, you picked one of the few hobbies where not being a manlet is a huge disadvantage.
>>20980455Yeah I know lol. Again, not looking to run supernats or anything so as long as I can be competitive in a club setting that's all I'm worried about. I know there's a national level driver who's 6'4" and is competitive, but kart racers tend to be like horse jockeys. I guess that's why many clubs have heavy/super heavy classes for the tall or fat drivers.
Burgerking record soon.https://www.motoring.com.au/aston-boss-confirms-valkyrie-nurburgring-record-attempt-119081/
>>20978295And we'll be seeing it racing soon.
>>20979057AM have around 130 engineers at the RB facility as well as a design studio there or some shit. That and AM were the ones who conceived the idea of the car in the first place.
>>20980314AM had their own rudimentary design at the time, most of the work on the car is Newey's doing.
>>20978295beautiful

Am I the only person on /o/ who appreciates comfy full size highway cruisers over tiny nippy roadsters?
>>20980473That's literally a mid-size economy car.
>>20980505It's entry level comfy and the only reason it's not full size is cars keep getting bigger, it's as long as an Equinox
>driving with a pseudo intellectual friend >Drives a soulless fwd kia>Keeps shifting without using the clutch, claiming its a pro technique and "it doesnt wear out the flywheel">Any slight bend he yanks the handbrake while applying full throttle and then screams "I AM THE GOD OF DRIFTING" >Drives severely under the limit because he "enjoys driving and wants to spend more time at the wheel">Claims that because his engine is a DOHC one its basically the same as having vtec >Mfw
>>20977725They sure as fuck were automatic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5QWiGBkMcc
>>20977762thats not why some people call it an emergency brake.the emergency situation in which the handbrake becomes useful is failure of your hydraulic brakes. The handbrake actuates using a cable, so it will function during a loss of electrical power or brake pressure.
>>20976735Oh mama
>>20974462If you're not out of control, you're not in control.
>>20975737>I'm 30 and I have no idea what the handbrake even does outside of stop a manual car from filling say when parked.Demonstration of controlling your drift with that brake.
I bought a infotainment system for my Mazda 6 2.3l svt active with Bose sound system. Everything looks great but I have no sound I plugged in the old radio system and everything worked. I thought was the amp that's not turning on. So I looked up the wiring diagram and connected the amp on and the 12v acc butt still no sound. Any body knows what the problem could be?
Probably need a line output converter for the Bose amp. Fuck bose and their fucking trash sound systems.If you think having a Bose Soundsystem means anything other than getting bent over the counter when that shit inevitably breaks your a fucking fool.Sell the car. Buy a Mazda without a bullshit Bose system and you'd be better off. I own 3 of them.
>>20979587 Wouldn't I be able to just bypass the Bose amp system?
>>20979587>tfw a fucking Beats speaker kit in my car as a factory optionI've turned the bass down to about half and it's pretty good, the memes are accurate.
Let's say I'm 20 years old and I just got 100k from investing and I just got my drivers licence. I want to buy a Ford Mustang 2019. I kind of like cars but I'm not knowledgeable about them. Is this an ok choice for me? I know it's not the most practical but I like how it looks and sounds. Which model would be the best for what purposes?
>>20977992If this isn't LARP, lease an EcoBoost, decide if you wanna upgrade to a GT after. You'll learn to respect rwd and a bit of torque, and realize if you actually want to drive a mustang or not.
>>20977992What on earth did you invest in that yielded 100k?
>>20978847Cryptocurrency
>>20978881Ah yes, the casino for NEETs.
>>20978225>money won't make me happyBuys a car
Is premium worth it or just a meme?
>91 octane is considered "premium" in burgerland>the lowest you can get here is 95 >can also get 98 at most stations
>>20980417>Doesn't know the difference between RON, MON, and AKITypical
>>20980417Premium is a buzzword, fool. Marketing babble.
>>20980428>believes those are relevant>thinks any of those values are anywhere near of what they say on the pumpwew lad>>20980429Yes.
>>20980446>>thinks any of those values are anywhere near of what they say on the pumpSo your 95 is really 85, great argument.
are you fucking ready for this german bros?>the cities will be free of cars>roads will finally be only for cyclists>car fags will get taxed to hell>100% renewable energyI cant fucking wait
>>20980315my dad is gonna buy me one soon
>>20980208*stabs you right in the economy*
>>20980379germany is such a rich country with way to much influence through its car industrywe should give poorer countries more of our money since they are working harder and because its fair
>>20980415this
I can't wait for the next election so Germany can finally die for good.
>faggots crying about it being overpriced>BTFO M2 and Cayman>these things are actually $15k more expensive than the SupraThe state of sports cars pricing and internet windows shoppers
>>2098002160+ thousand dollars for a poor banger, yikes
>>20980103I don't like FWD though. What I like about BMWs is exactly the fact that they can make great driver's cars with an actual trunk and backseats.>>20980118It's all hypothetical anon, I'm not looking to change my 335i anytime soon.
>>20979911>It's a JaaaaaaaaaaaagOn a serious not, I'm always astonished by the F-type's curb weight given it's size.
>>20980147>M cars have never and will never look “riced”M and AMG are both factory rice. That is indeed their selling point.
but it's not a REAL Prostate Mass-- er, Supra.
do you have the fastest car of all your friends anon?
Me2017 silverady wtFriends2017 ram sport2013 scion frs lol2006 hyundai sante feI wanna say the rams the fastest?
If one does not have friends wouldn't your car be fastest of "your group of friends" by default?
>2006 Pontiac Pursuit I think I'm right in the middle. One friend has an old protege5 and the other has a brand new Chevy Malibu
Sadly yes. My new Elantra is technically tied with my friends Kia Forte, then there's an old Rio, new Accent, old Civic, old Focus and new Honda Fit. None of us have impressive cars.
>>20978095my car has 0-100 in 14 seconds, but my friends dont have cars so yes i have
