Its over for car guys

You're a retarded benchracing video gamer

you should know your place.
Dont expect to pull away from everyone on the road in your 200hp honda, fag

>>16584558
all of your humiliation could of been avoided by ridding the bus like the rest of us.

>>16584558
>things that never happened

Its not about me or my shitbox. A $3000 car vs $100k new merc, whoopty doo big deal. I have a feeling it wouldve killed even an older M3.
Point is that the cars we love and discuss, are not competitive anymore. An edgy looking SUV will easily out take an R34 GT-R. How about that.

>>16584717
So, the love for cars is how fast you can pull up at a red light?

never change honda fags

>>16584558
People are shitting on you but I understand what you mean. Rangerovers, AMGs, ...hell...even those new BMW crossovers designed for soccer moms are all pushing 500hp/torque.

even the new ecoboost cargo vans are clocking in at 350/350. literally a plumber's van is faster than the meme import RHDs you see faggots clamoring over

>>16584558
If you drive a type r and can't outrun a luxury crossover on a twisty road you're just a shitty driver, and if you only care about stoplight racing you shouldn't have bought a type r

Took you that long to figure it out?

>>16584768
power is easy to achieve now, so it's getting crammed into everything. better than euro tiny diesels of pain and suffering. but performance cars still hold the power/weight ratio as well as cornering. AWD crossovers are good at launching and in stoplight racing, but not so much on a track or in the canyons.

>>16584558
if you have under 400hp in 2017 you aren't driving a sports car
you can get away with high 300's if you have something very small and light

otherwise, yes OP, you shouldn't think your shitbox is fast

Definition of sports car
: a low small usually 2-passenger automobile designed for quick response, easy maneuverability, and high-speed driving

>>16585052
sure, the porsche cayman/boxter come in high 300's HP trim and are light
so they qualify

It's about the the feels OP. These include getting BTFO by some mundane econobox that's 20 years newer than your manual shitbox.

2017 toyota sienna AWD= 296hp

All these new """fast""" suvs including teslas and shit exist purely for benchracing purposes. Any retard can put his foot down in a fast car but actually turning corners is where a good driver can put posers in their place

>>16584558
>Coulda been in new 320 hp typer and still get killed
if you watched the new top gear COUGH i mean The Grand Tour Episode about suv's its completely commonplace to see them with 400-700hp in upper trim models especially luxury V8 Turbo and even a fucking W12 in the Bently

>>16585023
this. Ignore the slow faggot that replied to you. Good luck explaining to cletus that you have a "sports car" when you just got gapped by his 5.0 mustang he pulled off the lot for 1500 down

I've always wanted one of those, but I don't like owning a car that's a pain in the ass to work on.

Is it worth it?

You realize that literally anything with a V6 these days has 280-350hp these days even without boost?

Your civic was never fucking fast in the first place. My 16 year old acura tl that I paid $5k for has 60hp more than your civic. You have an economy car with extra sporty bits to give it a bit more umph, not a sports car.

>>16584558
Wow almost as if a more expensive car will beat a stock k20..............

Grow up, kiddies. Motorsports is not raging through the neighbourhood with a fwd shitbox to pose around and frighten some grammys.
Motorsports happens on the track, its feeling, optimizing and learning of the process of what you do with your car and what your car does to you.
Streets are not made for racing, once youve tried some laps on a real track you feel silly trying to drive "like a racer" outside of it. The right track is at least as important as the right car.

>>16584558
So you drive just to have the fastest rice rocket in the world?
News flash, even in the 80's there were cars that were much faster than your Honda.

Buy clean five speed e30 = $5-7000
Add 400hp turbo kit = $3-4000
Misc (better tires, upgrades) = $1-2000

Total = $9-12000

Result? A car that will paste just about everything on the highway, track or mountain road for a fraction of a price the luxobarges sell for and will probably appreciate in price as long as you keep the dents, dings and rust to a minimum.

The normies can have their $100g luxobarges and their $10g engine out repair bills before the end of their lease. Their is a pile of stuff on Petrolicious you can buy for a fraction of the cost, with sane maintenance costs, and adding a turbo or a little tuning will make more than relevant by today's standards.

Here's a guy who gets it (that 325ix is pure sex):

If you just change the timing belt every 60k, it's like any other jap engine. The timing belt is probably the hardest thing besides removing the intake runners.

>>16587326
>>16586394
Oh boy the timing belt
>cheapest way to get a 120k service kit is to import one from the states at 600 bucks

Other than that just basic maintenance. 400hp was easy, it came from Japan with an ecu and injectors, it was just a matter of maxing out the stock turbos

>>16586405
But your tl probably weighs 300kg more than an ep3r, and I would almost guarantee it would chop you in a roll race. I never had a true appreciation for power to weight until my 200hp k20z1 integra lost to a 4age levin with 4 Indians in it...

>>16587436
My TL type-s weighs 1600kg and does 0-60 in 5.7sec, it's faster in a line and probably even faster around a track, and it's nothing special just a SOHC 3.2L V6. Look up track times on it.

>>16584558
>He thinks his EP3 is fast
Top kek mate
It never was fast, it was just responsive
That's what makes those shits fun

>>16588237
So 3.2 Honda makes 260? I failed so hard when I bought a SVT Contour. 2.5 v6 170 hp. It was so shit I swore will never buy another V6. Not a transverse V6 anyway. Warped cylinder head blowing exhaust before the manifold, common problem, limp mode half of the time because of a shit butterfly intake valve actuator, etc. Fuck the Contour hard.

>>16584717
>E36 M3
>R34 GT-R
>stock

Both of these have monstrous potential. Dump just a fraction of $100k (say $20k) into either and you've got something that'll pull the face off its successors.

>>16585052
>MX-5 ND/Fiat 124
>Porsche Boxter/Cayman

It's not a sports car if the entire customer base is made up of women and homosexuals.

>>16588904
To be fair the regular Honda 3.0l V6 at the time was about 225hp, the 3.2L in the TL type-s is high compression and uses premium fuel to make 260hp
