Turbos can replace displacement, but that doesn't make them better. Will natural aspiration make a comeback, when people realize bigger NA engines get better real world fuel economy and emissions than equally powerful turbos?

People don't drive like the EPA test suggests. Eco and boost cannot go hand in hand. They are always separate.

Why not have the displacement of the cars before then just add a turbo instead of reducing engine power then getting all of the lost power + a little back in return?

who fucking cares. It puts a superior number on paper and thats all the EPA cares about. The EPA doesn't give a shit about trying to emulate how a real person drives. Manufacturers don't give a fuck either, they just do what ever they can to appease the EPA

Why were rear wheel drive vehicles mass produced back in the old days? Why wouldn't they opt for front wheel drive?

Note: I'm not saying fwd or rwd is better, I'm simply wondering why they would make the rear wheels powered

It was easier to make a solid rear axle instead of dogbones/universal joints for front wheels that can also steer.

Because it took 50 years to make a reliable constant velocity joint.

Far less complicated to drive fixed wheels compared to driving wheels that steer.

Hey /o/, what's the best first car?

Should I get an econobox or an oldish luxury or semi luxury for creature features?

Are old Chevies (~2005) a smart buy?

I don't care so much for stupid fast, just a reliable commuter that won't have the interior, suspension parts, or drivetrain shit the bed on me.

Are lifted truck owners the worst drivers to deal with? Atleast I can scare van moms.

Also I can't get in trouble for this right?

Why do Europeans hate fun?

Why can't the appreciate something as unpretentious and honest as a car with an oversized V8, rear wheel drive, and a manual transmission? Do they think they are too sophisticated or something?

Dear /o/, I have a very important and scientific question to ask.
I need a rotary owner. A gallon of gasoline, and some of your time.
So I want you to empty the tank and put in one gallon of gasoline.
And then turn your car on and let it brap at idle.
I need to find out how many braps it makes before it runs out of fuel.
How many braps per gallon does a 12a make? a 13b? Does bridgeporting or p-porting affect the amount of braps per gallon? Will a 13b-REW brap more before it runs out of fuel?
I feel like this is an important question that probably has not been answered before.
