Turbo lovers, hear me out for a moment.
There are quite a large number of "eco boosted" cars available now. Mustangs, Fusions, and so on. The car is of course turbo charged to make high power with a relatively smaller engine. Better fuel economy is the result, when compared with a higher displacement NA engine of the same relative power.
That said, I'm kind of toying with the idea of taking an ecoboost car and turning it into a hoon machine. Can it be done? Will an ecoboost Fusion or Mustang accept larger turbos?
And does any other manufacturer do something similar?

>and does any other manufacturer do something similar
what did he mean by this
>>15294133
Pretty much every automaker manufactures turbocharged engines these days. I can't for my life think of a company that doesn't. People are already doing that with the turbo I4 Mustang.
Idk but I just wanted to post this pic.
>post yfw GM has NEVER EVER won LeMans
Chevy is the most successful NASCAR brand, let's face it that's more important than Le Mans.

DAY
Cars that doesn't look strikingly cool but every monstrosity lies under the hood.
For example; this McLaren MP4-12C.
Doesn't look much handsome as the others in the same segment but is seriously fast and technologically advanced.
It's just an Audi wagon, but with Quattro AWD and a Lamborghini-derived V10 under the hood and two turbos for good measure.
What car won the GTE class at LeMans?

We work on this together sometimes. It helps to have two people to tilt the cab...
>>15293874
I don't have a daddy and he was never a car guy, at least I'm guessing he wasn't. I never got to know him well
>its been 9 years since he died
So i'm thinking of buying a new car, went to the second hand dealership today and saw this, i'm sure it's an upgrade since i currently drive a yaris (don't judge too hard, i'm 18) So yeah, if any one can drop any wisdom on it that would be great, also specs and model would be appreciated.
another shot
Save your money to move out of the UK before you get bombed

If you weren't living in that shithole you could buy a big V8 and afford not only fuel, but insurance too.
>He thinks manual is faster these days
>He thinks autos that are faster cost 90K
>>15293688
depends on what you mean by faster
in the same gear, a manual is lighter and will be faster
>>15294172
why the fuck would you even reply to this
>>15293688
Warning this is bait
>yfw i actually race
>yfw i told y'all its faster around corners then a straight line

COME ON /o/ NO EXCUSES!!!!! GO RACE
There aren't any tracks in San Diego and Willow Springs is 3 hours away and incredibly overpriced.
Nearest track is a 2 and a half hour drive and requires proof of full track insurance, even just for track days
So now that we have meme'd Toyota to death, what about GM? literally slower than Porsche, Ferrar, Aston Martin and more importanlty FORD
How are Gm fangirls going to deal with this?
The better one went full Toyota and sudoku'd the car. My hopes ended there.
....yeah just going to shit on GM so I can ease my aching heart about Toyota.

Haha funny post xd!!!!!!
Is it just a meme?
Hybrid reliability is a meme. Battery died, after all.
>>15293386
no
>>15293389
It just seems too concocted for it to literally die on the last lap.
Is it possible it was sabotaged? EMP?
Don't like the TT? Piss off what's wrong with you.
Seriously just piss off and leave o.
>>15293258
I actually have a lot of respect for TT drivers. Without them my hair would look like shit.
>>15293258
Why the fuck would anyone buy this over a Cayman?
