How did Japan do it? How did they make their supercars so goddamn heavy? The Viper and Corvette are 500 lbs less!
still slower
>>17685123
>7:03 is slower than 7:08
>>17685123
Yes, they are slower than their American competition. I'm asking why a car with a 3.7L V6 is heavier than one with an 8.4L V10
>>17685121
Look at Japan history, and you'll see they never come up with new original designs. What they do, is basically copy an European or American car design and then try to sell it at a lower price so they can compete in the market.
So, why would you expect a copy to be better?
Was the FC RX-7 better than the 944 Porsche? No
Was the Acura NSX better than the Ferrari Testarrosa?
No
Is the Lexus LS350 better than the Aston Martin it is trying to rip off?
No.
Nuff said.

You're dumb as a door.

Stupid American can only go in a straight line.

JUST!
>>17685147
So what is the GTR a copy of, dumbass?
>>17685147
What did the honda civic type R copy?
>>17685121
the interiors are made of heavy, luxury materials, not plastic.
that's pretty much it. don't argue with me.
>>17685677
that explains why the MK3 & MK4 supra were so heavy, despite the fact they were RWD, lmao
>>17685677
>>17685682
Supras were plasticy as fuck though
>>17685121
>How did Japan do it?
By building in quality. Something burgers know nothing about.
Meme AWD and hybrid systems when RWD is all that truly matters.

>this is what westaboos actually believe
>>17685147
I'll agree for the very beginning, almost all of Japanese sports cars literally look like tiny muscle cars with 4 bangers, 1st Gen celicas look like dodge charger juniors. After a decade or 2 though they started being more original.

I thought you liked the viper?
>>17687249
is it trolling, when what he says is true?
Japan views cars as status symbols, not symbols of driving enjoyment. They don't like to drive. So they load them down with luxury and tech you can brag about instead of performance. Their lightweight race-winners are track only because why would anyone buy a racecar for use on public roads? The closest you can get is a racecar-like vehicle but without the power, so a minority of car geeks can have a little fun without killing some grandma pushing her shopping cart down the toegay.
>>17687263
Yeah, not like it requires much effort. /o/ is one of the most easily triggered boards and cannot ignore shitposting. It's like they have to respond no matter what.
>>17687274
Which is why people with self esteem issues spent their entire day bait-fishing /o/ Anons for replies. It's kinda funny seeing both sides act like spergs.
Up on weight and down on power, yet faster
I guess Japanese actually know how to build a car rather than trying to make it appeal to dumbfuck rednecks
>>17687263
>muh pol boogeyman
You wot m8
>>17685121
The 400lbs of BOSE horseshit isn't helping.
>>17687312
What are you even talking about anon, no one was even talking about /pol/ until you.
>>17687323
He's desperate for replies, and it ain't working well.
>inb4 post another anime girl acting like we are the triggered cucks and not him
Just wait and see.
>>17687339
But what else can soviet do? Not much going on in Mexico, unless he wants to go to the donkey show.
>>17687351
Well... when you put it that way. Does he even own a vehicle?
