Before 2000 they were. American companies need to learn to make shit apart from cars, and to be sensible.

Cause the average american IQ is lower than the japanese IQ by like 20 points

I remember hearing that jetta had a shit ton of actual work done to it actually.

Ye.

Would be cool to have a massive boost for launching or something.

It's okay considering it's 12 years old now

Sasuga Ferrari. At least it will sound better.

Ontario, the worst place in the world

It's my fault too of course, but I can't help but think I'm unlucky

Jesus h christ I live in Ontario and I never had rates that high

I think it's more natural because less blindspots?

Because most people are right handed.

Donks with thicc profile tires look slightly disturbing.

I don't think it's meant to be a donk.
I think it's actually meant to go off road, or at least I hope so.

Speed or durability/reliability?

from what i heard LMP1 is still slower. for example there are some tracks where LMP1 and F1 have posted laps on the same configuration track. on Laguna Seca for example the fastest LMP1 car did a 1:10 from 2008.

a CART/indy car in the year 2000 did a 1:07. the current record holder for the fastest anything going around the track was a F2003-GA Ferrari F1 car doing a 1:05 which was .100 of a second faster than a 2008 indy car that also did 1:05.

F1 cars and indy cars have gotten faster since then. that F1 Ferrari was from 2003 and still went around faster than newer protos from LMP1.

Maybe the current hybrid protos would be closer to current F1 than the old days but i doubt it would even be close.

prototypes can have much higher top speeds than F1 though so on le mans (where there are long straights) they could very much be faster.

i don't know how long F1 cars can usually last in a prolonged race but It;d be interesting to see who would be faster around Le mans though. a high top speed prototype or a high top speed Indycar.

Read that. Basically, P1 cars, while fast and aerodynamically superior, have a massive weight penalty. They're about equivalent to a backmarker F1 car on a track that's not terribly tight and twisty.

well Gran Turismo 4 lets you race LMPs against F1 cars and test this theory. The Formula GT series has no restrictions on car type so you can enter an LMP car. iirc the only way to stay close is to go really long on pitstops.

F1 and LMP1 are only comparable in terms of cornering speed and short braking distance.
The current LMP-Hybrids have their top-speeds nerfed by the FIA but are flat-out through the corners. They're faster than the Group C cars that had high top speeds but weren't as nimble in the corners. The Hybrids do better laptimes than Group C cars without the chicane on the old Mulsanne straight. So the new Hybrid cars are covering more distance in less time. and gaining all of that performance while using less fuel.

so no is the answer to your question. but on the tier of motorsports Le Mans Prototypes are one of the fastest categories that you can drive outside of F1. (not counting Super Formula or another single-seater series or rallying)

Lighter and smaller than your fat rwd landbarges.

Also, I am curious if anyone has any guess as to why replacement front bumper covers are so much easier to come by than replacement rear bumper covers.

Rockauto, they have everything.

>>17404956
Might look better without it, but it serves a useful purpose so I'll keep it on for now. Considering upgrading to a new shiny one possibly down the road.
