Butt Wizard posted:So cars that at least don't look piss weak as well? nah a car doesn't need to look fast to be cool, sleeper cars are cool as well. v8 in an old volvo rad as hell. miatas are actually p cool cars because they're light weight, rwd, some have factory LSD's, available in stick, and dead simpl to work on with dirt cheap parts. they look kinda gay but it's pretty much the car to own if you aren't married with kids and don't treat your car like an appliance. e30 is the grown up miata, you pay more for european parts and it weighs a bit more, but you get a huge trunk, back seat, hard top, and one of the best looking cars ever made. also being slow is a big part of the appeal to a miata and e30, they're light weight enough to drift at speeds that won't kill you if you stick to 14-15" wheels...

a bone to pick posted:this is loving amazing, I want to buy the shittiest looking electric car and smoke the wannabe nascar drivers in their Miatas. lol if you think miata owners are stoplight racers, and lol if you think nascar watchers would ever buy a miata. the miata is literally the car you buy if you're a car enthusiast and don't care about how fast it is. if you want to piss off honda civic boy racers and murican musclebos, go buy a rusted out brown volvo 240 wagon and put an ls1 out of a wrecked chevy truck into it electric cars still handle like poo poo, sure there's a lot of downforce but at the end of the day you're throwing 5,000lbs of car and batteries around a corner. on the bright side, goddamn teslas have some serious freeway passing power.

I don't know, never drove one. The regular ones were underpowered but fun. I wound up having to dodge some object on the highway (looked like a barrel, didn't see it clearly as it was just over a hill), went nearly sideways on the shoulder at highway speeds, and got it back under control. MR2 is not a deathtrap because of its speed. A NA is plenty enough to kill you. It's all about the fact that it's a mid engine car any chump can buy for $3000 and just about 0% of ai posters let alone average car buyers are capable of handling it. 1gnoirents posted:if you think these are overrated you dont know much lol. there was never a car as solid and as capable as that one that ive owned or driven anyway. it left such an impression on me ill probably get another one Post-05 wrx and sti's are a joke though but anyone poo poo talking the earlier models doesn't know anything about cars.

Carol Pizzamom posted:i aint say they're comparable. more like you may as well get a fun car instead of a mustang if it's going to have a v6. the fiesta's rear is like that because its fun, ya hater go test drive a new v6 ecoboost mustang and tell me it's not fun as hell. Sorry but to me, any RWD car is going to be more fun than any FWD car. No hate for the fiesta but someone shopping for mustangs wouldn't like FiST's.. Stock the FiST is a little nicer, but $500 in chassis stiffening and the mustang straight up feels like a higher quality car than the FiST. v6 ecoboost mustang is faster than the v8's from just a few years ago, with more low end torque and daily drivability... Just saying.. HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Feb 14, 2015 |

luckily for mustangs camaros etc, we're going to start seeing backup cams as a standard feature come 2016. Because holy poo poo mustangs and camaros are undrivable in their current state. Might as well post the first actual over-rated cars in this thread  cool car but doriftu anime and boy races ruined enough of them that at the end of the day it's a shittier japanese e30 that costs twice as much for the sake of rarity  goes without saying, not bad cars but horribly overrated and overvalued. They're 1-2k tops if very clean and people regularly want 2-3x as much.  (any generation, payin over $100,000 to beta test broken bmw features in the name of luxury)  Any generation, all modern civics are garbage and all old ones are thrashed with $5000 asking prices. Early civics would be an exception if they were still cheap (underrated)  first gen drive and steer by wire in a lifeless sedan and horrible throttle response that looks good on paper, suckering people into buying them. Universally garbage tier.  All of these, also g35 g37 and 350z  Just this generation I'm sure I'm missing a lot more... jetta, convertible bug (hard tops are acceptable because it's a glorified gti for $10k less) HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Feb 14, 2015 |

Carol Pizzamom posted:I didn't know there's a v6 ecoboost mustang.. I don't think there is? That would actually be really cool. As far as I know it's just the 2.3l inline 4. Sorry, i4 turbo, which is still faster than the previous generations' v8's and a lot more fun to hoon on. Main/only real reason to get a GT nowdays is the sweet v8 exhaust note. Well worth the money to me  Carol Pizzamom posted:Of course the mustang is higher quality a sportscar than the fiesta, the fiesta is an economy car you can have fun with. The mustang is a sports car with a modern suspension and rwd With a tasteful level of options they both cost the same. Nothing against the FiST but it isn't as good of a car as the new mustangs. They're both good cars, just a weird comparison to make because as you said they're totally different cars. If you've never driven a mustang with proper chassis and subframe stiffening done you haven't actually driven a mustang tho. HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Feb 14, 2015 |

Carol Pizzamom posted:Yeah I was being obnoxious because american muscle cars and v8s are kind of a pair. Kind of like how N/A v12s or sometimes v10s were the Italian supercar go-to. But with Ferrari boosting v8s I suppose we live in different times Its this mentality why ford will never drop their horribly obsoltete lovely v8 from the mustang. A boosted v6 would be amazingly better. Justin Tyme posted:Why do goons always hate fun, cool things. It's okay to like things and think they are cool or neat, goons. You don't need to drive a piece of poo poo that has 200k miles on it just because you "don't care, just gets me from point a to b" and can afford something better which would be a more enjoyable driving experience. I drive a car with 250,000 miles and it's a goddamn enjoyable driving experience with minimal upkeep, like seriously less $ per mile than a 90's camry. I literally don't understand the appeal of buying a mid 2000's honda/toyota shitbox when you can buy a e28 e34 e39 e36 m3 or even some m5's for the same price and cost of ownership.

Wendigee posted:still not sure why the WRX was posted in this thread as over rated its rated perfectly as awesome because it is the best i4 ever. it's because 10 year old WRX'a still resale for almost sticker price, at least in the PNW. Good car i you buy new (too bad their lineup is garage right now) because you can resale it 5 years later for maybe a 30% loss. But you would be an absolute fool to buy a WRX in the sates especially since they've all been thrashed to hell and back. Good car, lovely previous owners, and the old models are the only good ones. If you can find some grandma/soccer mom driven WRX it's a fuckin sweet car. I've always been a subaru fan but you're living a lie if you think the new WRX's and STI's arent bloated garbage cars.

Cubey posted:this is one of the dumbest and most incorrect things i have ever read about anything. the aw11 has more agreeable handling than a miata, you'd have to be the actual worst driver in the world to crash one. "handles good" on internet forums != being able to buy a mid engine car for $3000 with zero understanding of the VERY different handling characteristics of a front-engine car, an engine layout designed to flip you a complete 180 at the slightest driver error. Take a drive on public roads and watch how many mistakes people make entering freeway onramps in FWD cars. Every single one of those people would be dead in an AW11. You're wrong and you should spend more time actually driving cars and less time parroting things you've read on car forums. The AW11 is dangerous because any chump can go buy one. There's nothing wrong with the car. I love AW11's. But let's not lie, if we started giving away 911's there would be a whole less people/telephone poles in the world.

I know statistically they're good, but they're not getting a third chance. Honda has been running off their reputation for almost 20 years now. Everything they produce is complete garbage, and all the good cars they made in the 80's and 90's have been ruined by teenagers and commuters who drive until the wheels fall off, with a few rare exceptions. If you've ever been into crx's, civics, e30's, e36's etc now's the time to buy one before they're all gone or hosed beyond repair. There's still a few surviving civic si fanboys out there, but holy poo poo that car is 5 years behind the times. Oh and their little halo car new NSX? Ford already topped it in one year. quote:...video of 600hp Porsche Carrera GT spinning out on a racetrack as warning of the trouble you can get into with a 122hp relatively docile car... Speed wasn't the problem in that video, the point is that even the slightest over correction will flip around the front and back wheels in a mid engine car. Significanly more dangerous when you're driving a MR2 at 50mph on a trafficed highway than 150mph in a closed circuit. Wish I had my old phone's memory card, because I had some p good videos of an old lady in an MR2 crashing her car into the university of washington during some jahovas witness event :V Nothing wrong with a porsche or supercar being mid engine but it's p dangerous when they end up in consumer cars that have depreciated so much that you can buy one on craigslist for $1000-5000.
