If you're doing time attack style get the gc8. Cheaper, easier to make power, grippier and availability.

Blob scoops on Gc's are so fucking ugly.

You won't build anything if you are asking questions like this, go back to forza busrider

When the manufacture calls for it.

When you don't feel like running shit fuel through your car.

Some cars require premium fuel in order to not run like shit. Some don't, but of that group, there are some cases of a car running better on higher octane fuel.

They look pretty nice. I had a '97 Mustang when I was younger and the interior seemed pretty cheap. I know that was 20 years ago, is it better now?

As much as we love to hate on the corvette, if you consider the r8 a supercar, you must consider the corvette a supercar.

it'll probably be fine

>>17860513
why would you buy a car with shitty aftermarket wheels? buy some oem ones.

>>17860457
pls halb me :DD

>>17860457
Depends on the car. Let me put it to you like this. One time I tried all the hypermiling tricks in the book for an entire tank so I could see what would happen.

After running the numbers, it came out that I would save about a dollar per tank if I kept that up. So I went back to hooning it because fuck it I could have saved $6k up front on an unfun piece of shit and saved more money that way.

>>17860457
Get a bluetooth OBD reader and see how much fuel you're squirting in.

>>17861360
Fucking this. Hypermiling is a meme. Fucking up the roads for everybody else to save $10 a month is a dick move. Just take the bus if you're that cheap.

For a VW TDI it's easy.
Tune, EGR delete, bigger exhaust
Instant +10MPG

depends on the type of car but in general: no if you want performance you need the supporting mods like exhaust and chip.before you will see a performance benefit, but not for MPG.

just dumb. always better to carry a full size spare than a space saver. emergency services use full size spares for that reason

only way to make your car good for MPG is keep it serviced including checking tyre pressures when cold. and adjust driving style like shifting early, changing down before the hills etc.

if you want better MPGs buy a smaller car

OK bear with me this is either retarded or brilliant and I'm to stoned to tell right now.

So, on a racecar people try to create down force with spoilers and wings and front aero and shit right, to make the car artificially weigh more and stick down to the road.

Why couldn't I turn the wings and shit upside down to create up force to make the car artificially weigh less? Say you were on the interstate at 75mph getting 400lbs of upforce, that would make it less weight for the engine to push, and require less force, right?

Oh wait, that sounds stupid as I read it back to myself.

>>17860424
Prolly either a massive obvious physical problem in your exhaust or the sensor is busted.

Take it to any shop and ask for a free estimate.

Not so serious, exhaust system is simple-ish and easy to acccess

Dont you have a warranty?

i think you just didnt tighten the fuel door all the way

>>17860408
Just do it. I was driving my v8 commonwhore ute with 6 hours practice time and an hour of driving exam in a Yaris.

Sounds like you have some issues with initiative and self confidence

Learn your blindspots, and acceptable passing area (like if you can see a cars headlights you can probably fit in front). Practice quick maneuvers on empty streets. learn your car and your abilities

Unfortunately, in rush hour, you have to be a shitty driver like everyone else.

Also, dont camp in the slow lane. People do the riskiest manuvers there. Safest lane IMO is the fast lane, as ironic as that sounds.

Just drive firmly and with purpose and all the beta cucks will scatter before you.

elaborate. I would walk everyone one on the highway.

are you in the market for a drag car? because that's all it's good for

>>17860108
You would spin out and kill yourself, that's a drag car and that's pretty much what it's worth. Not a daily driver at fucking all

Is it body-on-frame? If so, then yes.
