The Door Frame posted:E: imagine being so entitled that this is your take away from ruining someone's very expensive track car "I said I did not know maintenance was part of the deal and that I felt tricked." Considering what car his GF has and be is apparently capable of paying for the repairs, it helps me make deductions about his parent's wealth, his entitlement and common sense levels.

Eh, it's got 3.5" of ground clearance if Google is to be believed for 2018 model at least. We should also consider that we're not arguing about off-roading without damage. Momentum will get you a lot of places where you shouldn't, and a gt3 can definitely build momentum.

During my daily commute, I sometimes keep it in sport mode for 23 miles and enjoy a little more fun driving experience.

I can tell my wife's CX-5 shifts later in sport mode, but I'm surprised it wouldn't be in its highest gear cruising at 80 MPH.

Blowjob Overtime posted:I can tell my wife's CX-5 shifts later in sport mode, but I'm surprised it wouldn't be in its highest gear cruising at 80 MPH. My BMW will just stick in 6th or 7th gear instead of going up to 8th on the highway in sport mode. I'm getting old and boring and never use it because of this. It's fun to get up to speed, but then it just wastes gas as I'm cruising at a constant speed in a straight line on the highway. I am glad the car has an option for sport mode to only tighten up the suspension and leave the engine/transmission settings the same.

Applebees Appetizer posted:It's not, but it's a great excuse to deny a warranty claim apparently That's lawsuit territory. The feature is there. If you don't want me to use it, then don't have it, simple as that. Denying warranty for using a feature that the care is equipped with is asinine. Also, the Porsche GT3 guy is the rear end in a top hat, and probably a Himbo.

Uthor posted:Not driving a German car on an autobahn. That's what I'm doing wrong! Indeed, but the reason I mentioned it is because for quite some time the prevailing belief was that Sport Mode locked out the 8th gear. It wasn’t until some people were on the autobahn and found that it eventually does change up, it’s just that Sport Mode holds onto the 7th gear just as much as the prior 6, and most people never get to go fast enough. I find Sport Mode really useful for country roads constantly having inclines and declines, but for everything else it just makes you feel faster but burns a ton of extra fuel in the process.

It's fun to get up to speed, but then it just wastes gas as I'm cruising at a constant speed in a straight line on the highway. That's my problem, I put it on sport to enjoy a single onramp, then forget it on for the next 100 klicks. Why can't it use the highest gear when I'm driving a constant speed, just downshift if I put any extra pressure on the pedal. Then I might even notice I'm on sport.

Yeah it also makes total sense if you're minmaxing. One car is powerful, expensive, flashy, noisy, uncomfortable, demanding, meant for going extremely fast around a racetrack and nothing else. The other car is very comfortable, very quiet, basically maintenance-free, totally unassuming, incredibly easy to drive, just an appliance that gets you from A to B with the absolute minimum of fuss. Anything in between will just perform worse than the GT3 and be more of a pain than the Camry. It's a good pairing Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Feb 16, 2023 |
