you have an unlimited sum of money and build an engine at 1000hp for street use. Did you choose rotary or piston?

Piston because I could actually daily drive it

Pistons for street use definitely
Look at VR38s, they drive like factory cars even with 1000+hp
Rotaries get less streetable the higher the HP

Leather, cloth absorbs EVERYTHING

Cloth if you want it to be comfortable.
Leather if you want it to look cool.

Both. Leather on the high wear parts, cloth in the middle so you don't sweat your ass off and for grip.

No
>>
>>15708628
Yes and no. While great strides have been made for V6 engines to be on par and sometimes surpass the V8, it will never be better than them. Maybe equal eventually, but never better.
>>15708642
Yes and no. While Ecoboost is currently the new hotness for aut/o/ memes, it will never reach the pinnacle that Vtec has attained.

First Car thread! Real pics better. Here was mine. 99 corolla. 150,000 miles. Totaled it 3x. The last pic is at riverside salvage, St louis. The bumper is a 2x6 cleverly disguised by the bumper cover. Yes, those are truck mirrors, 13's in the back and 14's in the front. Gave up when I went to college and it needed wheel bearings and I was just like...ehhhhhfuckit.

Did you guys know that if you do better than 180kmph in Japan the police don't even try to catch you? Their cars are only factory tuned.

My friend just told me torque is irrelevant for acceleration and only horsepower matters. He's an engineer, but he's also wrong. He doesn't want to accept the explanation that acceleration is force multiplied with mass, a=F*m, with the force F being torque multiplied with the wheel radius. He said torque is measured at the crank and power is measured at the wheel. I don't want to disrespect him, but at uni we've used a dyno to measure both torque and power at the wheel of a car AND used an engine dyno to measure torque and power of a 1-cylinder engine used for generating electricity.
How do I convince him that power is simply torque multiplied with RPM and that maximum torque defines how fast you can increase your speed while maximum power defines your maximum speed?

115 MPH in a 55.
Honda Civic literally wouldn't go any faster.
>>
140mph
it was 85 mph over the limit

>>15706145
Like 98 in third gear in an Acura integra
Speed limit was 45.
As soon as I laid off the throttle I passed a cop in a parking lot looking right at me.
As I made my turn off the street I passed two more that obviously heard me.
I still dunno how I didn't get pulled over.

Ram a shit do not recommend. I think most companies stopped making manual trucks around 2005ish so get one of those for cheap. Much cheaper than a new ram 2500
>>
>>15704724
The 3/4 and 1 ton RAMs are actually good trucks despite what the memers say.
Just get a diesel tho
The Cummins engines are known for reliability and power.
Keeping it well maintained it can last you 300,000+ miles

Why do people honk their horns on the road? It does nothing but annoy and stress other people out.

To annoy and stress out people who probably shouldn't be driving.
If a lot of people are honking at you, consider giving up the license and having the senior center van haul you around.
