What are the most impressive supercars to people who know almost nothing about cars? I'm talking the kind of person who would be no more excited to see a Carrera GT than a gen 1 Boxster.

Modern Lamborghini's/Ferarri

Even though its ugly only 9 of those POS were made. Pretty "impressive" to see one in the flesh regardless of what you think of it.
Aventador, Gallardo, or any other modern Lamborghini's are pretty impressive to normies.
t. knower
Are there any advantages to an open differential over a LSD?
I hear they are easier on the transmission for doing launches, but that could be shit.

More forgiving of sudden throttle inputs while cornering if you're a retard and don't know how to do hektik skidz.

Having driven many cars with between 100 and 900 horsepower, I can safely say that the perfect daily driver has 400 horsepower.
>never ever feels lacking when merging or passing
>fast enough to be thrilling but not frantic enough to be scary or unwieldy
>lots of pep for driving around town normally, but won't look like your trying to race people on a quarter throttle
>won't accelerate so fast you can't enjoy the speed without risking jail
>doesn't need expensive and uncomfortable extreme performance tires to put down power, UHP is fine
>more than enough for autocross or track duty
100 is borderline unsafe, 200 is sufficient but not exciting, 300 to 500 is all pretty good, 600 is when power starts becoming useless, 700 and above is just scary and unreliable.
Assuming similar torque and average weight/gearing

the fastest car ive driven was a focus st. and that felt slow :(

3000 lb sports cars should have 500 crank horsepower

I think it depends entirely on where you live as well as what kind of HP we are talking. Big lumbering engines with lots of power are not as suited to roads that require a lot of throttle modulation. In contrast, that would be perfect for highway situations or places that are fairly straight.
Point is, there is no perfect number, and far more factors that contribute to perceived speed and power than just the number of ponies an engine puts out at a given rpm.

Why can't the US have the Maloo?
Can't GM just put the SS front clip and make it the new El Camino?

Because everyone says they want one and no one actually buys them.
Im not tracking the 2017 orders as I already have a 2016 but there's probably still time to get an SS on order.
>>
While I personally liked the GTO revival, I think GM got burned so bad on that move that they are weary of trying something like that again. That and there not being an ute market in the US.

how the FUCK do Lincoln's depreciate so badly
This is a car that is 32k new, and in months they depreciate more than 10k

Just about any car will lose a lot of its value rolling off a lot, especially appliance grade cars. Lincoln is one of these, even if an old person might have died in it.

Why does Toyota's 4 cylinder turbo 3SGTE never get any praise or recognition? Does o just not care about the MR2 GT-S and Celica GT-Four?
There's even a Caldina Wagon/hatchback.

Guys
Guys
I have this great idea. I want to drive a racecar. And furries want advertising.
Guys
I can be the only driver completely sponsored by furries.
I just need enough for a garage, car, and salary.
I think I could get enough people/companies on board to sponsor me through amateur/club racing.

DUDE. Actually you kinda just inspired me.
Is it really possible for this kind of shit? Would something like this be feasible?
>>
>>15912099
It would-- there's so much money in furry shit that needs to be taken. The initial leg work to get this rolling would be a lot but the payoff would be amazing. You just have to deal with being the guy with the baddragon sponsor stickers on his car. Having them on the car wouldn't be nearly as bad as having to explain what the companies/furries are to older drivers in paddock.
>>
Fuck off Mrcummys nobody is gonna sponsor Shit for you.

Hello guys. I am sorry to bother you in this beautiful yet cold evening. I am out to buy my first car. I decided to move back home and with the money i ll be saving in rent get my first car. I work part time and go to university. I dont have a family and dont plan to for some time
So 3 doors is fine. It has to be manual, i will never lower myself to drive automatic ever. I live in Norway so it has to be a car that can handle the snow and icy roads pretty well. My budget is around 250000 kr or around 25k USd.
I had the mercedez classe A in mind. Any of you fine gentlement own one? experience with it? I appreciate all the input i can get.
Thank you and god bless

worked for a car rental for some time and got to drive a few of these. It's nice Mercedes quality but they'll let you know that you were too poor to afford a C-Class. They handle alright, nothing special though. Contra points are visibility (the rear window is small as hell, like really fucking small) and that they have an electronic limiter at 190 km/h (which shouldn't bother you if you don't live in Germany)
>>
I don't know how far $25 grand goes in Sweden but I'd guess not as far as in the states. You probably shouldn't get something an African immigrant will want to steal.
will cars be able to do mach speeds around race tracks or is there going to be a fundamental limit for grip?

if anything the limit would be our bodies. if you were hitting sharp track corners at 768mph you would probably discolate your shoulders and hip joints, while popping out your eyes, and also probably prolapse all the organs in your body.
