daily reminder that real race cars idle above the rev limit of a corvette.

race engines idle above 6600 RPM?
>>15555168
yes
Can /O/ explain shifting without syncromesh/ double clutching to me. I get the procedure(kinda) but I don't understand why.

>I get the procedure(kinda) but I don't understand why.
As a Mercedes Mechanic I can field this question.
Shifting is vital to making the car go.
You're welcome.

>extent of mercedes mechanic knowledge
>>15554971
OP here, plz explain. And cars are the things with wheels right?

Is that supposed to be impressive? It's not hard to push a car.

Vans are cool, so yes. But it is a Chevrolet
Buying my first car ever soon. For cars i'm fine but what do I need to know about being at the dealership and negotiating?
Negotiate outside. Once you go inside and sit down they will start throwing numbers at you.
If they want you to go inside, take another look at the car.
>>15554775
Makes sense. Nearly everyone I've spoken too makes it sound like the dealer is going to have me in a headlock for prices. Even members of my family sound get angry just talking about going to a dealership it's weird.
>First ever car
>dealership
Don't do it....
anyone else feel like doing another?

I have 6k to spend on my first car, and I really want a hatchback. I prefer an automatic. I don't know of many hatchbacks, but I like the look of the honda eg and the ek.
What are some options?
If your going to buy an ek or eg hatch it's best you get a manual. Those older Honda autos are fucking garbage
>>15554605
Are there any similar looking cars that are auto, maybe some that aren't honda
>>15554630
just buy a fucking manual
>Anton Yelchin's parents spoke out after filing a wrongful death and product liability lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday.
>The 27-year-old actor, seen in Star Trek Beyond, was killed by his own car June 19 as he left his home in Studio City, Calif., for a rehearsal... The car rolled back down the steep driveway, pinning him against a brick mailbox pillar and security fence.
>"This vehicle prior to Anton's death had over 700 rolling incidents, dozens of people injured that they knew about," said Dordick. "The problem with the gear shift is that people mistakenly think it's in park and there's no warning."
What're your thoughts on this, /o/? Should people be allowed to sue automakers because they don't know how to use the parking brake? Or is the automaker at fault for making an utterly retarded spring-loaded shifter design?
It's a bit of both, honestly.
It's a retarded design, combined with an easy mistake to make. Unlike literally every other automatic transmission on the market, these are the only ones which spring back to the original position. Unlike typical transmissions where you can gauge what position they're in without looking.
>>15554476
All it takes is a successful #JusticeForAnton campaign from trekkies and FCA will have to hand over the money.

Any seafoam honda/acura stories to share? i got a 94 integra ls and i was wondering if you guys have used it before?
>>15554432
Why do you think it needs it?
it's good to clear up carbon and might help a tiny bit. it's not going to fix a fucked fuel pump, vacuum leaks, or other problems.
Why does it need to be honda specific? It will clean out your engine pretty good. Not a bad idea on a high mileage engine. You may notice a slight increase in performance if your engine was so gunked up it was reducing preformance.
It's honestly just cheap preventative maintenence
Help me /o/ I can't decide on the best slightly used car for 15k or under.
I can get a 2015 Chrysler 200 with only 19k miles with warranty still on it for 14.9k
Or a 2013 Kia optima with around 30k miles for the same price
Any other good options I can narrow it down to? Old cars are out of the question, i don't want more than 40k miles
>>15554363
Look at the Chevrolet Malibu Turbo as well.
I would only get the 200 if it's the AWD V6 model, and I'd only get the Optima if it was the SX Turbo model.
>>15554388
The problem with both of those cars is they're the base model. I would be all over the 200 if it wasn't that shitty base trim, same with the kia
>>15554363
What do you drive now? Why do you want a shitty midsize sedan? Why do you want to buy a shitty Chrysler or gm product?
Okay guys I have 100k AUD to spend on a car, the fuck do I get? was thinking pic related but i dont know
100 civics
Seriously though, do they sell the CTS-V down there? I'd get that
Nissan GTR
