Would you buy this car if it were reliable?
>>16332969
well you see, this is an interesting question because if the shitvette was reliable, it wouldn't be made by GM.
quite literally any other brands beside GM & FCA would be able to make the vette reliable, & you have the added bonus of not owning a car from an autistic brand.
i'd totally buy a corvette that's not made by amerilards
If it were made by Germans or Japs, maybe.
They would need to fix the horrible interior.
>>16332969
Is the non-Z06 Stringray unreliable? I've only heard bad things about the Z06.
That said, yeah, I would.

How's the ST performing in the snow?

OP, which glorious place in the midwest do you currently reside?
Redpill me on the V6 1LE
It's like a good car, only shit
>>16332641
it has the ball joints and springs of the V8 model, but with upgraded sway bars and bespoke struts/shocks to make it into a track focus toy. It's a handling package for those who prefer cornering over straight line speed.
>>16332641
About equal or slightly better performance to a 370Z Nismo, while being significantly cheaper and a bit more practical. Good all-rounder sports car with shitty visibility.
So I'm no mechanic, but I can spin wrenches when needed. Did brakes once before and I ended up doin rotors too just because the car needed them anyway.
But now my mom needs new brakes on her car and the tire place is telling her $199+ per axle, and I know they will end up saying $500+ for all 4 because it is an SUV and not some little shitbox.
I want to get away without spending a ton. Her rotors don't look bad, but there are a couple little grooves in there. It's not possible to resurface them in the garage, is it? And if I just slap new pads on the old rotors, will it be fine? Or is it really worth spending the $200 on rotors as well?
Measure how thick the rotors are. No you can't resurface them without specific tools
>>16332549
I mean I can kinda tell the wear because you can always feel the little lip on the very edge of the rotor and it doesn't seem bad at all.
>>16332569
take them off and have them resurfaced for about $10 a pop, don't leave your mom with a pulsating pedal.
How does one get into WRC?
I often see short webms and stills here of rally cars and thought they look really cool.
How do I get into it and what events are there to watch?
how does it work?
Fail at track racing
>>16332468
>How does one get into WRC?
WRC has only been good in the 90's and early 2000's, before loeb/ogierwinslol
instead look into local/national rallies
old rally highlight videos are good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp2QhteTgYU
In 2017, Red Bull TV will broadcast the WRC for free.
>Red Bull TV’s WRC broadcasts will include:
>20-30 minute highlights on Friday and Saturday evenings
>75-minute programme including a live stage on Saturday afternoon
>30-40 minute rally wrap-up on Sunday evening
>All programmes will be available to watch on-demand once they’ve been aired, allowing fans to relive all of the year’s action, from the snow-spangled Rally Monte-Carlo all the way through to the red dust of the season-ending Rally Australia.
Realistically, how much would it cost these NEET fags to play racer with their project D hobby?
im guessing it's pretty much all out of their own pockets since they wouldn't have sponsors and shit.
>>16332374
they have jobs. they use money from said jobs to buy car bits.
>>16332374
>tires
>high octain gas
>pannel beating when they crash
plus all of the entry costs: car, turbo, coilovers and whatwhat
>>16332389
project d specifically was all daddy takahashi's money wasn't it
Red Pill me on FF/FWD
/o/ seems to hate them.
What are the best FF/FWD?
>>16332320
ignore them. /o/ operates on an old assumption by boomers that "FWD isn't a real car", which was repeated in the very first episode of Initial D.
Ignore them. The people who believe this all ride the bus and have never driven a car.
One of the best FWD chassis out there, despite having no electronic witchery or LSDs. Quite surprising considering who made it.

Has there been a more embarrassing moment for an automotive manufacturer in history?
Yea, the "race to win" corvette lost to a fucking v6

Has anyone ever imported a car? How did you do it? An example would be a cheap communist style 80s car like a VAZ or Trebant.
>>16331921
there was some exported to canada, look maybe someone sell there.
I don't know if you've paid attention to the news the last 8 year or so but the Democrat party hates Russia.
I imagine it would be no different than the JDM cars people are importing these days. Find out all the title release forms etc etc that you need to fill out, and get a car shipped over. Your best bet is probably finding one in Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia since they are part of the EU; not sure how much this may help or not.
