VikingSkull posted:There are so many supercars nowadays that the segment has become pretty dull. 200mph, 10 or 11 seconds in the quarter mile, over 1g of turning.... so many cars can do this all now. Cars like the Vette and Viper get recognition because they are so cheap. while I'm starting to feel that the Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis of the world are becoming a bit, I dunno, bland. You know what to expect out of them. Things like the Bugatti are exceptional because of the technology, but the Veyron is such a sterile, emotionless car that I just can't be excited about it outside of the numbers it puts down and the technical porn that's under its body. What you stated summarizes it perfectly, and I think it's something that we will indeed never see again from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, et al. However, when the last generation of great supercars were coming out -- F40, 959, F1 -- they rested on their performance and technology to set them apart. The interiors were in some cases spartan, in some cases dressed up a bit, but they were never meant to steal the show away from the raw numbers the cars were capable of putting on paper. A car today is as fast as however much the company building it can afford to spend on R&D and technology. The fact that Pagani cares so much about making an interior like that really puts them a step ahead in my book. The gauge cluster is really the only thing I don't like. Too many different colors and everything's too bright.

Q_res posted:The timing would be about right for this to have been a potential engine for the 787B before they settled on the 4-rotor, wouldn't it? They had an article on jalopnik a few days ago about the weird poo poo Mazda did in the 80s and early 90s. I think that engine was developed for their new luxury line (think Lexus or Infiniti) that they were developing called Amanti or something. And yeah, that was the engine they were going to put in all those cars.

Leperflesh posted:You can directly kill insects and spiders with water + any surfactant. Dish soap works perfectly. It prevents the hairs on their chitin from holding the water away from the spiracles that they breathe through, so they suffocate rapidly. There's no need to go spraying expensive automotive solvents or whatever the gently caress all over the place. Fill a spray bottle with tap water and add a few drops of dish soap and then spray the terrible scary bugs. veedubfreak posted:You ever accidentally stood too close to a pile of fire ants and only noticed when 150 of those fuckers bit you on command at the exact same time?

Bape Culture posted:Speaking of lambo doors they are a bit rubbish irl. I got to drive an aventador the other day and they don't pop up with a button like I imagined. You pull a little lever and they unlatch then you push them up. Like a giant petrol cap lever. The interior is also shite and the pedals are layed out stupid.

animeliker posted:I would like to take a moment to remember Andrea De Cesaris; a man with 208 GP starts and no wins (he definitely deserved one), and out of those 208 starts he only finished 65. Probably the only man in F1 history to score a podium (3rd Place) without finishing a race all year (in 1987), also he could do wonders in a mediocre car. He died of a crash on Sunday. Also, that Mazda3 sounds amazing. And basically what BlackMK4 said, RWD Mazda3 with a stick and maybe a lil bump in power? I'd have one. I've always liked the Mazdaspeed3.

Holy poo poo, this is amazing. I haven't seen these before. Judging by the cars in some of the photos, looks like this took place some time in the mid-90's? What's the back story here? Looking forward to the rest of the pictures.
