Why are American cars so shit?

A guy in my town has a geo metro that he dropped on top of a samurai awd frame, pretty fucking cool

>>17584896
That thing probably has no torque

you see that kind of shit all the time around my town. It's a big mudding place. I can't count how many el caminos I see like this. A guy down the street from me has an old packard lead sled up on tractor tires like this.

It's obviously just the body bolted to a truck frame with rockwell axles or whatever.

>>17584974
I assume you mean engine torque, which is meaningless since gears exist

>>17585027
>tractor wheels
Obviously talking about wheel torque

>>17584974
Looks like it's on a tractor frame. It probably makes nothing but torque.

>Obviously talking about wheel torque
which can be (and probably has been) fixed with a higher gear ratio

>>17585027
You got a gear lower than 4-low/first? Neat.

>>17585039

Yeah...creeper gear would be lower....

>>17585037
>fixing torque with a higher gear ratio
jesus fucking summer

>>17585042
yes, that is what gears are for.

>>17585042

Most tractor engines are like 30-40 hp and maybe 2x that in torque...but they still pound out hundreds and hundreds of ft/lbs at the wheels because of the miracle of gear ratios.

Look, Archimedes it's LOWER gear ratios that increase torque and engines aren't perfect machines they have these things called redlines.

>>17585077
40:1 is higher than 10:1

>>17585065
You're right that Metro on an S10 frame probably has a tractor engine in it. It's obviously farm machinery.

>>17585092
That is not an S10 frame. Look how thick it is.

>>17585092
he was talking about a tractor engine as an example to show how an engine with little torque can be used in a high torque application using gears.
Off-roading is another application that requires loads of torque.

Do you have trouble with social situations?

They hate direct injection.
