So this is apparently the 'fastest car ever made'. How many cylinders does its engine have, and what's the displacement?

We all hear the stereotypes about how Europeans (and many other nationalities) "hate" American muscle and such, but what do you guys think?
Do international /o/ bros like/dislike American cars? Any reasoning?

Europeans like american cars in general because they are quite rare and look "exotic" and stand out when compared to euro cars
>>
ime only people who know fuck all about cars hate american cars

>>15071316
I've wondered about that, too.
Like, is it the reverse of the United States where everyone here owns a BMW/Mercedes as a status symbol, so would people in European countries own Mustangs/Camaros/etc, not necessarily as a status symbol, but due to rarity/exclusivity?

Engine is a horizontal twin connected to a dual rotor Wankel, sequential turbos have really loud blowoff valves but only make around 6 pounds of boost
>>
no power steering and no weatherstripping
drum brakes all around

>>15087948
In order to access the engine bay to service parts such as the starter, alternator, water pumpy etc you must first remove metal retainer brackets blocking your way that require a special tool that isn't sold to the public, and would take a lot of fabrication work to imitate

Don't you sometimes have that urge to just pick up your keys and drive through the night?
No traffic, no speed limits to obey, nobody to bother you.
Especially after a very bad day. It's somewhat releasing.

oi m80s, blog post incoming. Sorry in advance.
>studying economics in Germany
>planning to do exchange semester in the US from August '17 - February '18
>while I'm there I'd like to rent a small garage I can live and store a car in, something used, fast and cheap (Crown Vic, Mustang for example but can be every fucking other car that fits these criterias)
>to be able to afford rent and car/living expenses I want to work as a car mechanic, don't care if illegal or not - I have enough knowledge not to fuck shit up
>BUT I need to go to certain colleges my university is partners with, which are:
>Allegheny College, Meadville, and Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
>Ole' Miss, Oxford, Mississippi
>NYU, New York
>UOM, Minneapolis, Minnesota
>Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
>UOA, Tucson, Arizona
>Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana
so which one of these states offers the best car culture? And by that I mean quality of roads, car scene, cheap cars, cheap gas and possibility of speed traps/cops raping me when I go 0.0000002 miles to fast.
>help me live the dream, br/o/thers. Pic very related.

Arizona. Least rust, dry climate, based republican government and. Living lifestyle.

First, eliminate states with snow. Snow, and the salt that comes with it on the roads, sucks for vehicles. It also means certain cars are less usable during the winter months. No Midwest and no New England.
Next, eliminate shitty anti-fun states like California.
That leaves you with the southwestern and southern states basically.
Should people be allowed to modify their private property?

It doesn't matter how good certain Cadillacs models are. Without aggressive marketing and undercutting established German rivals, Cadillac's market share won't grow.

Why is Chevy so far behind the curve?
The new NSX has a mid mounted TT V6 with electric motors, and looks extremely modern. The new Ford GT has a carbon frame and a mid mounted TT V6, sharing the beautiful and modern design cues that the NSX, 458 Italia, and other forward cars have. The GT-R is faster than the Corvette with a TT V6. The new GT350 has a flat-plane crank, meaning it will sound much better than the Corvette, and is just a better piece of engineering overall.
All of these cars look much better than the overdesigned, childish extrerior of the C7. The oversized belled quad exhaust tips, the ugly hexagonal brake lights, and everything else is just on another level below the current design language that other modern sports cars wear.
Why are there so many Corvette fans on /o/? It's such an inferior, cheap, and dated piece of engineering compared to other modern sports car.

chevys not behind the curve....the nsx and ford gt are both over engineered overpriced pieces of shit. chevrolet has been keeping it simple yet EXTREMELy reliable i.e. the ls motor.
