Post your car!

Anyways, beddy-bye time naow.



I don't have anything against anyone or their car, I just have a thing about how, "Having a v8 makes me a badass, rarrr." That mindset just upsets me. Haha.

Second edit is dumb, that would make no sense an engine is designed to do something, and it usually does it if maintained properly.


Anyways, what upgrades have YOU done to yours again?

Did you know with my 1997cc 4cyl engine I put out 190-210bhp, compared to your 4,601 cc v8 that makes 215bhp. And the newer 4g63 engine that came in one of the rarer Evo's made 405.2bhp making it have the highest output per liter of any production engine.

Did you also know the 2003-2004 SVT Cobras that came with a 4.6L DOHC Superchanged v8 only made 390bhp?

I can see we have a clear winner here when it comes to American vs Import

Yes, it is designed to go to 7500rpm, but that doesn't mean it still won't wear the engine out more. Formula 1 engines are designed to go to 18000rpm, and they don't last long at all. Increasing the RPMs will always lower the reliability and length of the engine's life.

Once again, you are compared them on the thing that DOESN'T matter. Horsepower is a result of a formula in which engine speed and torque are used, so all horsepower really shows in low displacement engines is engine speed itself. But let's cut to the chase shall we, I haven't actually dyno'd my Mustang but it is making far more than 215hp. I'd also like to point out that while your 4banger makes only 220 ft lbf of torque, I get 285 ft lbf of torque (stock). Not to mention since yours is turbocharged you have to deal with turbo lag and increased complexity in the engine which leads to less reliability, while mine is naturally aspirated so I do not face any of those problems.

And in the that new EVO, you forget to mention one thing. It has HORRIFIC turbo lag, and the engine is very unresponsive. This results in ALL of the power being at the top end once again. The cobra engine has 390hp and 390 ft lbf of torque. So while it might not be as powerful as the evo engine, if you put it in the same car it would be much more responsive, it wouldn't have turbo lag, and the car would accelerate faster thanks to a more even torque curve. And a fun little fact as well, the EVO that makes 400hp is only available in the UK because the UK is where ralliart (SP?) is located where they do the modifying of the EVO to give it 400hp. So us Americans can only dream.

The lesson is, power is completely useless if you don't have torque and a smooth torque curve to go along with it. And also, supercharging, although it will not yield as much power as turbocharging, is much better because it results in a flatter torque curve and better engine response (no turbo lag).

Mustangs are fucking sexi machines, better than Nissans by far.

Xet, you drift in an automatic, without using the e-brake? Unless you can lock it to a low gear thats nearly impossible, depending what tyres you got obviously.

And yes, torque is the most important. Torque is how quickly the horsepower can get to the wheels. You want reasonable HP, with alot of torque.

Torque is the real driving power, the "beef" of the power.

Yes, I did forget to mention you can manually select 1st and 2nd gears, I'll take a picture.



Wow, that looks really dirty in that pic for some reason. Probably just the LED light from the camera.

Oh well then yeah But yeah nice car, also white is =\, only looks good on a zonda and lambo imo.

This is the rental car my family is using in Cali now, until uni starts and my parents go back home:



Rented from Hertz, got a good discount. It's the Ford Edge crossover. Built in Ontario too :P We have the front-wheel-drive version (who needs AWD in the bay area weather anyway). Surprisingly, it came with a panorama sunroof, not something I expected to see in a rented vehicle. Interior space is class-leading without having to make the car oversized.

The only real criticism I have of this crossover is that the suspension is quite hard so you get jolted about very easily on bumps and potholes.

drug lords sure are high caliber these days

[DrunkenSamus]

don't be hatin on my v6 mustang

1969 Ford Ranchero. Nuff' said.

fukken badass, what's it got in it?

Nice job of picking the ugliest Z Nissan has ever designed.
