I feel like the 100hp/liter thing is outdated. Everything is a 200+hp 2.0L turbo 4 these days.

Dadliest Worrier posted:I feel like the 100hp/liter thing is outdated. Everything is a 200+hp 2.0L turbo 4 these days. Exactly. We weren’t going for “that’s sufficient”, we were going for “that’s powerful”. 400 hp out of a 2.0, 500 from a 2.5, 600 from a 3.0, those are numbers that make me think “powerful” Of course those numbers don’t work when we get to V8’s but those will sadly be extinct soon so why let them ruin my math? Suppose I could twin turbo my LS2 to 1,200...

This is one of a series of questions that is super simple, but I didn't quite understand. I thought it meant, "where does an engine begin feeling powerful?" and not, "where do you get impressed by the power?" Reading comprehension

I still think electric start is a huge deal. It means the car doesn't try to kill you just starting it. Well, much less often at least.

Modus Man posted:Exactly. We weren’t going for “that’s sufficient”, we were going for “that’s powerful”. Honestly Kw per litre is kinda useless to think about in "powerful". A 160Kw 3 litre in a 1000kg car is going to feel a drat sight more powerful than the same engine in a 2500kg luxo barge. Whats the use of a 300Kw 2 litre turbo if it's not in something light? Plus... meatpimp posted:75Kw/liter has always been an NA benchmark. Forced induction changes the math entirely. A 6 litre V8 would be 450Kw as a NA - That's a huge whack of power in anyone's language in the right car.

I still feel that bhp per litre is a useful metric for "state of tune", it's interesting to ballpark how much they've turned the wick up on something. But your view is influenced by what sort of tune the cars you grew up with were in. I remember 60-70bhp per litre being what you got in the "quick" variants of production cars.

While I’d like to think it was my dad who got me into cars it was only a passing interest and he used to chide me about knowing more about cars than my schoolwork. Same was true what he said about my interest in RC cars with regard to the time and money I spent on them (answer to how much? All of it). Jokes on him. Toy cars pay the bills  (he is insanely proud and we have a good relationship)

It's gone from a tiny, cheap, subcompact that was little more than a kei with a bigger engine to a sporty compact that is highly variant in looks and pricing across trim levels. You could probably fit a first gen inside the cabin of a current gen hatchback. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Dec 29, 2019 |
