the miata doesn't have ecoboost and is certainly more reliable. I chose a BRZ over the miata because it has a trunk, is a popular tuner car, and is popular with other young people so over time I can make it into a hot wheels car. not like that's relevant though, I just wanted to share because I'm a loser who can't into talking with people in real life. so, I converse with fellow enthusiasts on a mongolian horse insemination image board

You're right, I was wrong about the weight.
It's actually a good thing to be heavier when I wanna go through a crowd.
It's the best muscle car on the road and sure, the further engine tech gets, the faster it's going to be, but having another 500-1000 pounds is fucking awful.

Kek, have fun in your cramped mini car if you ever go on a long drive. I'll enjoy my leg room.

>>16322022
nope, the GT350 and GT350R both have a 5.2 liter V8
the R just lost some weight be removing stuff like AC, stereo, carpet and got more aero stuff

the 350 in the name isn't really related to anything and rumored to be a random number they came up with at a meeting when trying to figure out what to call it back when Mr Shelby was making the first ones, 1 story is it was 350 feet from the offices to the workshop
kinda like the Ford GT40 was named that because when they measured it the car was 40 inches tall

>>16322051
Either your legs fit or they don't. As soon as your legs fit you don't need extra leg room, especially as the driver who needs to comfortably reach the pedals. And most peoples' legs fit in most cars unless you're lanklet mutant.

All other responses in this thread are invalid.

Snek is literally the best car in the world. Per cost, the ACR can do more better than anything else.

It is the one true God Machine and the failure of you faggots and the world at large to acknowledge this fact is why it has forsaken us and transcended from our mortal coil.

>>16322239
No matter how good the car is, if it doesn't sell then that's that. Look at GTR sales vs C7 Z06, it's not even close.

I'd say a GT86/BRZ

>A throwback to the entry level sports coupe of the 90's
>Handles amazingly, lightweight for modern cars
>Daily-able coupe with plenty of trunk space and rear seats
>Comes with a manual or auto, no expensive unreliable DCT. Doesn't need fancy technology to be a fun daily driver
>RWD and a locking diff, cheaper than the Miata Club and 2x more daily-able
>Subjectively looks nice
>Ample power (6 second 0-60 in manual)
>Good fuel economy for a car of it's class

It's only issue for most people is the lack of power compared to mustangs, but that's not the point of the GT86. It's a fun, affordable, practical car in RWD. What other RWD car can you find for the price of a GT86 with everything thats practical, RWD, and fun?


Or, the Fiesta ST.

>Only comes in manual, only for enthusiasts
>Practical 5 door with plenty of space in the back
>Comes with a turbo for that extra tuneability
>7s 0-60 isn't about the power, its the feel. The torque pulls it along, and you can always put a new tune for more power.
>Extremely lightweight
>Handles like a dream, just tail happy enough to pull it through corners
>Amazing fuel economy


The Fiesta ST is what I like coming back, enthusiast only. It's not for benchracing faggots, it's for sensible people who want fun, but more want more practicality than a miata.

If you want a benchracer sports car, go shell out your shekels to some DCT turbo car, a meme WRX, or a Mustang.

You're a tremendous faggot if you think the Snek doesn't sound good. It's the most raw sound of power on the market. It may not be refined, but neither was a fucking 426.

You're an even more tremendous faggots if you think discontinuation is a sign of how good a car is. They discontinued the 426 because it drank too much Fucking fuel, not because it wasn't the most powerful Big Block on the market.

The Snek has literally held down and raped every super and hyper car before it. It is without goddamn equal.

The 426 was a tempermental bitch. It's why most people who would've bought them ended up buying 440's.

And the other issue is the 426 was nicknamed the elephant motors, both because of their bloated size and because they were commonly beaten by Chevy small blocks which were nicknamed the "Mighty Mouse" engines.

>>16324690
It's a Renault Clio. A FWD hatchback that's rental-car tier and uses the same chassis as the Nissan Sentra IIRC. It's either the Sentra or Versa chassis, I forget.

>t. electricuck

>>16324700

Know your history, do you, Bearenstein? Lemme tell you how things worked in the Bearstein universe.

The 426 was called the Elephant because it was enormous in proportion and power, not because of any competition.

Literally zero engines can compete against even a lightly modified 426 in N/A form. Higher flow heads and a decent Cam (mods which are so common you usually can't find a 426 without them) are all it takes to make it live up to its race brethren's reputation.
