It's not as quick as his other car to 60, at least on paper.

The i8 is cool looking and pretty neat despite the fact that OFFICER 13 INCH posted:that takes two guys and a couple screwdrivers to open the hood I'd still never own one even if I wasn't a filthy poor. Or rather, if I had the money I'd probably spend it elsewhere. The i3 on the other hand is just inexcusable.

atomicthumbs posted:When was the last time you played it? IIRC he said something about them switching to a better tire model at some point in the last few months. Yeah I recently saw you can get a Steam key for BeamNG and ended up deleting an old version and updating to the steam version and everything definitely feels a lot more stable than it did before. I'm having too much fun lining up several cars and ramps and setting up wild collisions.  That Speed Canyon map is excellent, btw.

What I miss most about the older Gran Turismo games is being able to drive around in a 1993 Honda Shitbox if you wanted. Forza still has those cars to some extent but the car list in a lot of newer games/sims makes me go "eh." I'm broken.

To spin a turbo up to an RPM where it's actually making boost has got to draw an insane amount of amperage, right?

Chemmy posted:The Prowler isn't pretty enough to make up for how gutless it is. Are they that bad? I've never driven one but Chrysler's 3.5 V6 seemed like a fairly potent powerplant for it's time. The four speed auto is surely sandbagging it but that was standard for it's time. It seems the biggest criticism is "It should have had a V8" which is understandable considering the hot road styling but if I recall even the V6 was packaged in there pretty tightly. In high school I had an Eagle Vision with the 3.3L V6 and a friend of mine had a New Yorker with the 3.5 and I was so jealous over how much faster her car was.

I'm not sure in the case of that spreader, but a lot of farm implements don't have their own power source and instead are driven off a tractor's PTO. Diesel engine geared down to lowish RPM = more torque than anybody needs for anything. The prices on agricultural stuff is insane though. And iospace posted:Farm bills! It's not welfare

n0tqu1tesane posted:That's how a two stroke works. After watching that video of how quickly the exhaust gasses vacate the cylinder on a four-stroke and applying this knowledge to what I know about two-stroke engines (very little) I'm going to hazard a guess that the exhaust gasses leaving the cylinder in a two-stroke creates a small vacuum that aids in pulling fuel and air into the combustion chamber at the same time. Which I guess is why exhaust tuning is so important on two-strokes and holy poo poo I feel like I get (on a theoretical level) two-stroke engines now. Edit: Is this why I've heard some two-strokes describes as something like "self-supercharging" or similar?

Trap sprung. Sperg post incoming. IIRC the Previa's engine (2TZ-FE/FZE) isn't exactly the same but it essentially a spiritual ancestor to the RZ series found in the early Tacos that took boost fairly well. That said you're definitely going to be fighting the weird rear end packaging. I think the best sleeper Prrevia would probably be the 2TZ-FZE motor with the five speed but those are rare as hen's teeth. I know for sure you could never purchase a 4wd/5speed/supercharger package from the factory. I have no idea why I like those vans so much either. They're not fast (obviously) and don't handle that well even with the mid engine and they're a pain in the rear end to work on but I love that they encapsulate peak 90s Japanese weirdness. Engine accessories, for example, were mounted up front but driven off a driveshaft mounted to the front of the crank. The radiator and fan were up front and the water pump was on the engine block and driven by an internal chain. There was even a tiny little intercooler up front for the supercharged models.  I'd drive the poo poo out of that V8 swapped one, too. Previa_fun fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jul 19, 2017 |

Memento posted:A manual gearbox on an electric engine is a really odd choice. I think a sports car with an electric motor mated to a 6/7 speed manual box would be a fun low volume toy. I'm imagining a ~300ft/lb electric motor with a completely customizable torque curve. If you want a flat curve with max torque at 2000 RPM you can have that, but with a few sliders you can have a simulated K series with a torque peak at 8000. Or you can simulate 80s turbo lag and have nothing below 4000 RPM before it takes off. You'd have to manage the spin up/down speed of the motor to simulate inertia or shifting would feel like poo poo, but it'd be fun if not useful.
