What's it like to drive a V8 with a manual transmission?

It's pretty fucking great. Get a loud-but-not-too-loud h-pipe exhaust and a short shifter for godmode.

>>15925280
Peeling out and having a tail happy car my nigga, never felt anything like it
Used to only own 4 banger sticks and the difference makes me jizz every time I floor it on second and third
>'92 foxbody

>>15925401
Slower than a ton of 4 bangers

>>15925410
>b-but I'm faster

>>15925410
Walked an RSX, only to let go of the gas because I thought we haven't started yet, only to hear his weed whacker up around 6k rpm and continued walking him
Srt-8 (challenger) couldn't beat me either, almost crapped my pants and had my girl swallow double of my load that night

Stick to your soulless Focus

>>15925437
Did the Challenger driver know you were racing?

>>15925448
It was reversing out of a parking space. Mustang fanboys are delusional as fuck.

pretty shit

most overrated automotive thing ever

>>15925466
He's the one provoking it and turned a street after seeing he couldn't beat me

What happened with your four banger reply?

>>15925466
Post your civic

>>15925410
Nobody cares.

>>15925481
I have a tundra and a 370z. Both are faster than your cheap trailer trash mobile. Fuck off kid.

>>15925489
Post your civic faggot, putting periods after getting all salty

>>15925501
>I'm too retarded to realize there's more than one person that thinks I'm full of shit ITT
Post your shitty car poor kid. Show your "built" motor.

Only has an exhaust and mild cam, and seems to do the job pretty good, you still haven't posted your civic

>>15925280
Depends on which V8.

Because if you ever beat an srt8 the motor would be highly modified. Since it's not, you're just another retarded delusional poorfag. Stay mad that you drive a shitty slow car.

>>15925561
Still haven't posted your civic or your route number my man, making your opinion complete trash
>highly modified
Go back to playing nfs and installing stage 3 nos

>>15925546
so this car can barely beat an RSX but can beat SRT8 Challengers lmao

high 14s isnt impressive bub

>>15925561
If he has some crazy short rear end gears and the challenger's auto trans went full retard there's a small possibility, but yeah, these cars are not fast stock. They *feel* fast because they're 80s rattletraps with v8s, but they need some work to compete.

>>15925582
>poor shit that can't afford clear headlights still thinks I drive a civic
>telling me I need to play NFS when he thinks his 16s 1/4 trash mobile will beat an srt8
Stay retarded.

>>15925590
>SRT8 Challenger
weighs literally two tons.

How come it always turns out those that try defending civics and other fwd turds don't even have the cars they are talking about?

>>15925590
Not to encourage the shitposting ITT but "walked" means it was like the opponent was walking, they were that slow. If I had to guess I'd say it was a v6 challenger with srt badge rice. Mine feels fast until I actually get near something fast, and I am reminded that my engine is an asthmatic.

>>15925601
Why is it that poor people with shitty old mustangs cling to shitty damage control saying anyone that doesnt suck their cock has a civic?

Nice goal post, just proves that you're just another bench racer

>>15925636
Still no route number

>>15925600
ok

that Mustang has like what 250hp at best and weighs ~3100lbs

a SRT8 weighs ~4200 with 425-470

Challenger is the better car here

>>15925622
yeah

you could barely beat a 160hp car

wow

a SRT8 is a 13 second car m80 you wouldnt come close unless he wasnt even racing

>>15925641

Absolutely, modern challenger is a soulless shitbox with a equally soulless Hemi shoved into it.
proper old school Challengers died with the E-body

>>15925650
I'd say mine is about 200-215, nothing extraordinary

Let off gas because I thought we weren't racing yet

>>15925666
>confirmed never driven an srt8 or hellcat
They're absolutely not soulless regardless of how much you want to hate on FCA.

>>15925650
You're bench racing V8 car in a thread simply asking about V8 cars. If you knew anything about racing the driver is a huge factor which is why races are still entertaining and not boring as you autistically googling specs.

>v8 manual

my V8 auto is faster tho
>LS1/4l60e '99 trans am

>>15925666
and foxbodies are soulless cheap rattleboxes whos saving grace is lightweight and aftermarket

>>15925677
>driver is a huge factor
>in going in a straight line

top fucking kek

if you cant drag you should have your license taken away

you can keep damage controlling but youd have to be legit braindead to lose to a stock-ish foxbody in a SRT8

>>15925280
Why sell your shitbox for nigga, do both. I just picked up a 91 5.0 mustang this week. Shit is fedora tipping good.

now the s2000 AP1 i raced was very close. tho my car was still faster near 80+

>>15925691
In case you don't know: buy 3.55 rear end gears, an h pipe exhaust system, and weld-in full length subframe connectors now.

It's a nice feeling

Sometimes I randomly shoot revs when I'm driving around. It sounds awesome and gives me a rush.

>>15925688
What do you expect from a baby boomer in a Challenger? This guy was doing 15's in a fucking Hellcat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG6veF_34QE

yeah but your car would dominate even most bolt on foxbodies and shit

its on a whole different level

mfw

My family lived on Chrysler money, literally.
Grandpa worked for Chrysler, Dad worked for Chrysler, I would be right now if the recession didn't happen. The family has owned almost every Plymouth ever made. So I know a thing or two about Chrysler products.

>>15925688

Yeah so? That's the point. They're old enough to drop a 351 in it and nobody would care.

>>15925706

>how could you call a Challenger soulless then pretend like the Fox is anything but
Because Foxbodies have such poor build quality that it's an endearment in hindsight, you don't just float along the road in a foxbody like a "Challenger", you might as well call it a day and buy a fucking Jeep, at least you'd have cargo space.

>>15925707

Skip v8 faggotry and go to v10 viper goodness

>>15925722
>still clinging to your one shitty insult
Come back when you have an education and a car that's worth more than my lawn mower.

>>15925736
well thats technically any operated machinery

>>15925724
not like any muscle car has either of those

theyre just shitboxes with V8s and theres nothing wrong with that

>>15925742
so what

just because a Challenger is a comfortable car (seriously it blows the Mustang and Camaro out of the water) its soulless?

>>15925749
only problem with the Viper is that its one of the worst sounding cars Ive heard

>>15925742
>you might as well call it a day and buy a fucking Jeep

>thinks a new challenger doesn't have excellent handling abilities with the best possible ride comfort

pretty sure you've never driven a modern muscle car

great v8 thread so far, fags

>>15925756
>just because a Challenger is a comfortable car
>he buys a v8 to be comfortable
This is why "Challengers" are generic boats.

>>thinks a new challenger doesn't have excellent handling abilities with the best possible ride comfort
None of these are characteristics of actual muscle cars from the muscle car era.
That's why i don't consider modern muscle cars to be muscle cars.

>but muh hellcat
Who literally cares, If you can afford a Hellcat you might as well buy a Viper.

>>15925756
>technically
Keep your libtard language out of here, it's not technically, it's common sense That any machinery can kill a person

>>15925781
but theyre

fast
comfortable
handle well for what they are

classic style muscle is objectively shit and its good that makers realized this and made better cars

>>15925781
V8s are more balanced than 4 cylinders and V6s, comfort simply comes natural.

>>15925781
>None of these are characteristics of actual muscle cars from the muscle car era.

>not soft (comfortable) family cars with tons of cubic inches

muscle cars are for cruising on the highway at 90mph and racing at stoplights

>surprised a modern car has excellent handling, suspension and braking.

nothing to do with 45 years of development or anything. did you want the new cars to handle like the old ones or som

>>15925809
>fast
>comfortable
>handle well for what they are


literally in another thread you're probably calling all V8s pigfat landboats that can't turn.
But none of those are characteristics of muscle cars.

>good that makers realized this and made better cars
Nobody thinks 74-89 cars are good.
Are you saying Mustang II is good?
Lmao, if you pay attention you'll see power steering became a standard feature in American cars around the same time that heavy, semi luxury styling became popular, so like your Monte Carlos and your Gran Torinos. From 73 cars got worse before they got better.

>>15925831
>V8s are more balanced than 4 cylinders and V6s, comfort simply comes natural.
That's not why "Challengers" have a V8

>>15925835
malaise era cars wouldve been better than all the 60s shit if not for the poor build quality (which plagued several older cars)

Mustang II were good (American cars) for their time no matter how much people hate them

>>15925835
>not indulging in American V8 semi-luxury

P O N T I A C

>>15925833
>>not soft (comfortable) family cars with tons of cubic inches
Adding displacement was the only way to get more power.

>>surprised
Why would i be surprised that a modern car performs like a modern car.


>malaise era cars wouldve been better
>would've
but they never were so it doesn't matter what they could have, or should have been.

>Mustang II were good (American cars) for their time no matter how much people hate them
They're hated for a reason, they aren't anything like their predecessor. This wasn't just the mustang II, several muscle car nameplates were used on completely boring shitboxes, a good example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Challenger#Second_generation_.281978.E2.80.931983.29

>>15925852
i'd take a third gen Le Mans over any Modern car as well.

>>15925870
>They're hated for a reason, they aren't anything like their predecessor.

theyre predecessor was a pigfat piece of shit

the Mustang II was a welcomed return to the origins of the Mustang when it was released

>>15925874
>theyre predecessor was a pigfat piece of shit
Which one?
First gen Mustangs are light af
71-73 Mustangs got huge engines.
Either way, they were objectively better than Mustang II

>the Mustang II was a welcomed return to the origins of the Mustang when it was released

KEK

>>15925890
thems the facts

the Mustang II sold like hotcakes

nodbody liked the pigfat 71-73 abominations

>>15925898
Ask anyone today if they'd rather have a Mustang II or a 71-73. I'd give you $20 if any said a Mustang II. I won't have to though because nobody wants that piece of shit. They were only popular at the time because they didn't come with a thirsty V8. Shit, even the "economy" engine of that Mustang was a 4 liters.
You clearly don't understand the impact that the oil crisis had on the minds of Americans and the designs of the cars.

>>15925909
>today

thats irrelevant to the 70s

the Mustang II was a success

>>15925912
>the Mustang II was a success
So was the Pinto, still a piece of shit then and now.

It's great. Granted mines an auto, but have driven several manual ls1 fbodies. When test driving, all the manuals seemed like they'd been ragged a bit more then the autos, one of the reasons I didn't get one.

Anything with a decent amount of power is fun though.

Don't listen to the guys driving grocery getters.

Get a Fox body, drive it like you stole it, fuck your sister, have a great time.
