>sees the new hellcat has like 983 horses stock
>then see it weight close to 10,000 pounds
>sees the GT-R has 900 horses and all wheel drive
>weighs like 8,000 pounds with more computers than a 24th iteration F-35 prototype

hearty kek, like I give a flying fuck then about horses when I have a car that supposedly weighed 2,000 pounds and 200 horses in 1970's but has higher torque and horsepower due to the cold air intake I put it due to modern engineering and all the rust makes it weigh considerably less.

Modern cars can't even compete.

>he doesnt have a 2000 horsepower farm equipment

It's getting so cars are fucking 5000 pounds with 200hp. gay as fuck

Computers have accelerated progress. There have been major strides recently in manufacturing, and the ability to process big data has told us what does and doesn't work.

The internet has allowed for people to share ideas and trade quickly across the world, making some commodities and processes cheaper into price points they would not otherwise be.

That said, cars these days are heavy as fuck and have too much extraneous shit.

I'm sure your slant-six New Yorker is plenty fast, Grandpa.
Meanwhile in reality, you have actually fast cars that anyone can afford.

Then you 383 it and run single digit boost for 500+ to the tires.

Faster and faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death

Cause HP mean fuckall. Torque does.

Rust weighs more than regular metal.

>>16065169
Damn semi trucks must be god machines in your book. Like 1000 ft-lbs of torque they must be so fast.

Oh wait. They're not.

>>16065159
You talk like a faggot edgelord
"Lol speed I am speed I don't care about death gotta go fast"
Fucking kys, lightning mcqueen

>>16063281
I know that feel.

My car has low HP but 2 times the torque.
Never need to down shift to overtake people.
Don't even have to be above 2k RPM.
