He says that car has 600 horsepower and goes 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. A Carrera GT also has 600 horsepower and goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. What makes the Audi nearly twice as fast? Is it just that much lighter?

The cgt is rwd and has a somewhat finicky clutch.

Something awd with a fancy transmission and launch control is going to be much faster off the line.

Also probably tyres?

Meanwhile, I saw this terrible thing on this internet. Hopefully not here. Front half is a Holden Rodeo and the back half is chopped Mistu Magna.

Its a whole bunch of things. Its the transmission and gear ratio, the tyres, the weight, the AWD, the anti-lag completely loving with the power curve, the aero and that probably sky high redline.

Rally cars are built to get to certain speeds as fast as they can.

The Careera GT is much more a grand tourer built more for the Autobahn than rapid acceleration and deceleration.

It's not even a rally car, it's a rallycross car. The circuits are very small and tight, so it'll be geared down to gently caress.

Rallycross is basically where every non-museum-piece group B car in the UK ended up, and then they modified the hell out of them because they weren't anywhere near fast enough for what they wanted. It's the motorsport equivalent of "I used console commands to gently caress around with stuff in a racing game".

Yeah it doesn't show on the awful app. I'll just add another butthurtgoon to the ignore list.

He's been like that since way before vaping, and I'd say mid 30s instead of kid.

Just down the road from where you spotted this one (Falls Church) was a Wrangler with the NUK IRN plate for a while. Guess somebody made them change it, though. Of course it was the Gadsden.

That could be the same guy who had an older Sentra with the Gadsden flag license plate END A21 (if you don't get the reference) and worked at the Arlington County gov't building.

You can permanently(*) disable annotations in YouTube settings if you're logged in.


(*) until YouTube pushes an update that re-enables them for everyone. :argh:
