first car was a 1990 chevy beretta gt, a gm coupe that actually kinda owned in its own quirky ways. one day if I have dumb-car-project money and time (so, probably never lol) I want to take the body of a Beretta and drop it on the powertrain from a C5 corvette because they're almost identical in wheelbase current car is a 2017 BRZ. fun car, good mileage, but horrible for hauling anything. I think I managed to fit three guitars, an amplifier, and my PC in it and have just enough room for a very uncomfortably seated buddy in the passenger seat on moving day. lottery notwithstanding, I will drive this car until it's not worth fixing anymore

Didnt they do a thing where they intentionally put weird/lovely tires on there so they'd 'drift better' or some F&F poo poo like that? theyve always intrigued me other than that

I bought mine pre-owned, and the previous owner put 225R18s on it so it corners like a dream. fucker dinged up the fancy rear end rims he bought for it though, so one of these days I need to get them fixed up so it doesn't look like I'm poo poo at parallel parking they aren't particularly powerful cars but you can the-box-said-ten-horsepower them up a fair bit and knock out some of the torque issues with a three hundred dollar of the shelf tune kit

sounds like a fun little car. wouldn’t mind getting something like that in a few years’ time (once our second-mortgage-level daycare costs go away). brz, miata, an old triumph or mg if I’m feeling especially masochistic…

yeah, they're great fun. I got mine for a bit less than average market value because it's not a manual (and because I told the dealership I'd write them a cheque right then and there if they knocked another two grand off their asking price) but the automatic in manual mode is responsive as all hell and actually holds gears as long as you want it to, so if you like the feeling of going fast while still being safe and your left knee sucks or whatever then the automatic is plenty fine. same 6-speed aisin one toyota uses in a bunch of lexuses too so it's rated for way more torque than the BRZ can ever produce friggin subaru didn't introduce carplay to them until the 2018 model year though despite most of their other vehicles getting it in like 2015

i'm not necessarily a hp lord anyways. i still consider my old e36 325 with an m3 diff and fat staggered tires to be way more fun than the 540, which does go fast in straight line, but it's kinda boat-ey. the 325 i could just loving wail on the I6 and push it even in corners and the thing just would not lose the rear

President Beep posted:hell yeah man. I sometimes have drag racing vids on in the background while i work. I was watching this channel driver61 and I dont really care for f1 but reading about the level of engineering is insane so your front splitter/spoiler/thing isn't allow to flex and has to have certain ground clearance. and they test the flexure by putting 200kg weights on the front of the car but red bulls engineers had placed the carbon fibre sheets in such an setup and orientation across the front thing that placing weights where they did didn't cause flexure, but wind going across it at higher speeds could make it flex in a particular way and then again at even higher speeds it flexed flatter for less resistance the level of engineering to create such a structure is beyond incredible. and gently caress I knew those things would be hard to drive but no loving clue. didn't really occur to me before that so much of the engineering requires the car to be driven in such a specific way that it just doesn't work if you don't. which mostly means they have to be driven fast to even be able to use the brakes coz the brakes dont work when they're cold, no downforce if its too slow. or the little tricks some drivers do. there was some driver who would understeer heaps going into corners, which would heat up the front tyres enough to give him superior grip on the front end when coming out of the corner allowing more acceleration out of the corner. I dont find it very interesting to watch but as far as human achievement goes its very interesting

f1 is an exercise in working around the rules in ways that are technically not cheating. for example, no dynamic brake force distribution systems allowed, so engine management system software began to apply selective engine resistance when it senses the car is nearing stability limits.
