Cooler 90's camaros

>>16246951
Unpopular (I think) opinion incoming, they're among the best 90s sports cars

I may be wrong but I think they're also pretty strongly correlated with white trash, which is unfortunate

>>16242305
240sx is better than the 350z in every way.

>>16242317
except looks sound handling speed interior and reliability

>>16242305
Both are equally shit.

No this is

Creative post, I heard that same line from Clarkson's mouth on the most recent episode of GT.

blown the fuck out

ABS is basically a retard-proof approach to stopping as fast as possible. Slam on your brake pedal and the rest is handled electronically. In theory, you could achieve the same level of braking by sheer skill/intuition but it's something that isn't very easy to do when you're in a panic trying to stop.

To be honest, I don't know what kind of vehicle you are even looking at that doesn't have ABS. Almost everything after 2005 has it.

ABS gives you the potential to steer build braking, potentially missing or minimizing the impact damage.

HOWEVER you should practice engaging the ABS in all conditions on a regular basis to get used to it and how to steer while it's engaged. If you freak out and let off of the brake pedal because "that pulsing scares me" then it's worse than just locking up the brakes. Get used to the pulsing. That tells you it's got the brakes and you just deal with the steering.

The same goes with motorcycles, even moreso. Practice, get used to it, be one with the ABS pulsing.

I engage mine sometimes in the winter. It's your car telling you, "Easy there, Mario. Get home in one piece."

Jesus christ that's way too much work.

A manual transmission is just that, a strictly manual and physical means of changing gears with a lever and pedal. You can technically change gears in an automatic via lever but there is no pedal and the transmission still automatically takes care of the rest, not making it a manual transmission. Clutch-less manual shifting gearboxes (manumatic) are neither automatic or manual, but instead a hybrid. You can tell the computer what gear you want, but it still makes the final decision and does all the work.

So what's the easier and more efficient means of relaying a message to a computer, a quick button push or a lever with mostly dead zone that in the end still just pushes a buton internally? Hence buttons on f1 steering wheels and paddles on cars. Though they still make electronic lever controlled floor shifters in some cars cause once again "muh nostalgia", except they have minimal "throws" and only go up or down one gear at a time because that's normally how you shift. To make an electronic shifter that acts like a standard manual pattern would not only require more components but would inherently have much unnecessary dead space, lengthening shift times and defeating the purpose of fast, smooth electronic shifting. Not to mention three quick taps of the shifter or paddles would get you to your desired gear both faster and with less distraction than manually finding that desired gear.

The only reason someone would prefer a electronic clutch-less transmission that shifts like a traditional manual is because "muh manual shifting feels", not because they actually prefer being less efficient and counter productive to the point of shifting electronically. And that wouldn't be a very good investment gamble by auto manufacturers to take that route, decreased performance and potential distraction increase vs. sales gains from almost-wannabe-manual-but-can't-keep-from-stalling bros. Further backed by the fact that manual transmissions are going the way of the dodo even though they provide usually $1.5-2k price reduction on new cars. The demand is too small, and the result would be too counter productive. There is no logical reason other than "muh shifting feels" for a patterned manumatic. end.

I don't really care if no one reads this and it 404's instantly, after all I wanted to say for the other thread to then die, I couldn't just select all and delete.

Tldr

OP is a fagget

Both are equally lame.

>>16254826
how are they lame, and why do you have this opinion?

merc if youre white
avenger if your not

>>16254760

That's hardly a choice and if you have doubts, I've got bad news for you soon. You're not on the good spectrum of intelligence.

>>16254771
A 10y old car with double the mileage vs a 3 year old with half the mileage and german import vs domestic.

Yeah, hard choice there.

The TT was the only thing worth getting, and even then it was heavier, more expensive, and much more of an ass pain to work on than its competitors. Cool digital dash tho

>>16255067
Z32 didnt have a digital dash they realized it was retarded and stopped after Z31

>>16255067
>digi dash
proves how much the average fuck on /o/ knows


yes OP the z32 is a sports car. It has a heavy engine and isn't completely gutted and tiny so it isn't as light and spartan as the miata, who gives a fuck

v6 muscle make browsing used cars ads complicated as fuck

The car is honestly too pigfat and big for a V6, even if they make POWA. It should only be offered with a V8.

>>16254374
>>16254387
It almost ruins the car because 90% of the challengers I see are a v6 being driven by a woman or a nigger. There are too many shitty ones on the road.

Also
>>16254387
a v6 is just pointless because the base car is so heavy

Only wid a big ol murican veeate

Yes. I DD'd one for 7 years. Only thing i ever replaced was a starter. Made it over 200k miles when i sold it. Still running strong.

>>16254390
Is 5k euros a good price for one?

Focus ZX3 5spd, cheap, light, handle well.

>>16254091
A cavalier

>>16254091
get something FWD. Preferably a Chevy Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Grand Am, or Oldsmobile Alero with the 2.4L 4 cylinder with the 5 speed manual.

>>16253389
yep that's a crank shaft

>>16253492
It's not a crank, it's a knife.
