Are you gonna buy this BMW?

>>16758874
no, that's an Audi!

Asking 4500 btw

>owned by a mechanic
Be very careful. Those fuckers know how to nigger-rig their cars before they sell.

>>16758588
5.3L?
They have oiling issues

>>16758338
>can't afford manual turbo

Why even consider buying a Supra at all?

I know someone with a twin turbo for 4.5k in the UK

>>16758377

Auto right?

Do you want awd and 70 more hp/tq? If yes it costs 22k more. Honestly just import an old evo or wrx for the price of an st with the fun of an rs

>>16758204
Out of all the cars you could buy for the same amount of money you want a shitty hatchback? Really?

>>16758298
Those are too common, I could buy them here but I want something more unique. ST and RS Foci aren't sold here.

>>16758395
I already have other cars, plus the cars of my other family members I can use if I wanted to.

mercedes does have a pick up truck

>>16758092
The x class? That's still a concept though.

Well, the Mercedes X-Class *is* coming, although you might be thinking more in the terms of them manufacturing it from the ground up as their own instead of badge-engineering

A thread died for this.

I want fucking DWD (Diagonal Wheel Drive), but that'll come the same day we get DEI (Direct Exhaust Injection)

>>16757652
Stupid frogposter

You can skirt regulations with limited build quantities, like the DeLorean, but then you've eliminated your economies of scale and the car will be snapped up with demand driving price through the roof. Otherwise, no, it's pretty fucking hard to get around all the new laws. Just look at the ass end of the newer Dodge pony cars. That's the kind of shit you have to pull these days to approximate old styling.

It's possible, but would make the vehicle very heavy.

The problem is with the legislation. It was put into power by people who have no idea how motor vehicles work. Emissions, safety, and fuel economy regulations need to be reworked completely to have a true modern equivalent to the pic related.

The price of the vehicle will go up, the more expensive the materials used are. Usually lighter and stronger is more expensive. Price becomes a huge factor when you're just trying to stay at a certain price point. CAFE has horrible bias towards light truck classification vehicles. The IIHS and NHTSA are always looking for new ways to fail vehicles for crash safety, like overly specific testing (small overlap for example), which forces vehicles to have extremely heavy crumple zones.

so yeah, if it was affordable, it would be done. Otherwise, no. You can't have a sexy 60s body with the passenger safety of a modern car, all because of shitty legislation.

modern cars are better
get over it
>inb4 muh SAE gross hp muh boomer styling

Autoplebs are posers

86 automatic transmission isn't exactly rocket science. torque converter straight out of a basic lexus.

if they made money on them, I can guess why. and at the end of the day, people swapping engines and transmissions will still have a good chassis to build on.

Why the fuck would you give it a boot tho.

One of the most retarded pandering fads ever.

not anything special ya weeb

there have been "touge" style scenes since forever and they are still out there today

All of the driving based things in my area died out. People just drive to parking lots and hang out. Nobody wants to risk tickets since the cops have been going after racing and cruising very hard. It's been completely dead for at least 15 years.

Just too late to the party.

like this

>>16756678
Nice, like OP's thread.

LHD manual. changes constantly. when nearing a short turn, left hand is at 10 and right on shifter. if driving in a straight/longer turn and no shifting is needed, left is at 7 and right at 5, so basically resting on my legs

>>16756430
didn't even try to counter steer it

traction control off
too much throttle so rear tires start spinning
panic and inexperience

1. Started trying to do a burnout at too fast of a speed
2. Let off, letting the car diff out and put all the power to one side
3. Didn't even try to save it.

>>16755201
>not turbocharging a high displacement BBC

>>16755201
For a given power level you can use a variety of methods to achieve said power.
For maximum power you need maximum displacement to start with, then you need to throw every power-adder you can at it.
Now you can all go home.

I have a legitimate question about turbo charged engines.

Because pigfat meme

Why get a 350Z when you could get a G35?

>>16754746
fast and furious inspired a lot of stuff in Need For Speed

i'd say all the kid playing need for speed was more of a deal than some meh movies

>>16754759
Fast and Furious, 2 Fast, and Tokyo Drift were, and still are influential. The rest aren't really.

If it helps any, Speedhunters has massive clout now, and that's officially a part of Need for Speed/EA.
