What kind of car do 16 - 18 year old aspire for these days? When I was that age there was a ton of great cars. Sporty cars are dying. Americans Teens have fallen out of love with automotive.

Ok /o/, I've reluctantly swallowed the reality pill and have given up my dream of daily ingredients a classic car. But now I have 2 options in front of me that I'm considering.

1: Buy a 2017 Tacoma for 22-24k. 4cyl, 6spd auto, 2wd, extended cab, 18-23mpg. I can afford it, but it's more than I'm comfortable with due to car note and insurance (granted when I was looking at a classic, It was actually going to be very cheap). I know it's responsible, it'll be reliable, and it's decent on gas. But I'm worried I'll out grow the 4cyl and be stuck with it for years to come along with eating into my monthly budget.

I test drove it, it's definitely a nice truck, but it didn't make me smile.

This is option 1

This is a completely serious question from someone who doesn't have much of a background in mechanical engineering.

Pic related weighs about 150 pounds and produces more than 180 horsepower at the crank with 76 lb/ft of torque at the wheel. It also revs to 15k RPM.

Why aren't they using these in cars? I understand more torque is needed - so why not just use two?

And don't give me this shit about >hurr durr you have to rev it high to get that hp/torque

No shit, retard. THat is the point. Some of us want high revving engines

Anyone here ever build a drift missile?
Was considering buying a $700 240sx, slapping a turbo on, adding a bucket seat and beating on it at Club Loose. Though I'm hesitant since it seems like an endless money pit

OK /o/tists.

Now that the FC NA and RX-8 are both around 5kish, why exactly do people love the FC so much?

>NA 13b and Renesis have similar reliability
>Similar fuel economy
>RX-8 is faster in a straight line
>RX-8 pulls more lateral G's
>RX-8 is more powerful
>RX-8 is barely 300lb heavier than the lightest FC
>RX-8 has 4 doors/seats (insurance)
>Both are apparently really fun to drive

So why is FC considered a superior car? Is the meme-ness of the FD rubbing off, or is it something different that only the rotards know?
