(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've noticed a lot of you guys here are very much into cars, but the threads where we get good discussions going always get closed; under the terms of "already posted." Well, I am your savior. Here is the thread where we can discuss anything that is related to cars. Things may include but are not limited to: your new ride, a dream car, a picture of a car you recently saw, advice on a car purchase or modification, a new upcoming car, a memory with a car, or just maybe a cool picture of a car you found. I imagine this could be a pretty active thread, as I see myself coming to post in it often.

I will report any and all flames. Let's just respect each other and different ideas.

Have at it! Smile

And yeah, in england petrol is very expensive, and, well so is diesel. So he had to settle with a relatively boring and more practical engine.


Ahh. I don't know what the engines over there are, but here I think the diesel is the E350 Bluetech. It's 210hp with 400 ft-lb of torque.

Yes, it's a slim number. The VW 2.0T only puts out 200hp, but it is easily upgradable to 400+ with just a few grand. Usually, turbo 4 engines have a broad torque curve, so they still have power across the board when needed.

This 4C looks really nice though, that is a good selling point.

On the matter of the Elise, it's just so tiny! It's really hard to get comfortable in. But for a track car, it's unmatched.

On the matter of the Acura, is that a 4 or 6 cylinder, and is the power sent to the front wheels or the rear?


It's a 3.2 V6, front wheel drive.

Shit, I know. I imagine sportier too. When I was 16, I had a Z32 twin turbo. It was a couple years old with quite a few miles, but it sure left some good memories! It was really speedy and agile, too. Great car.

I see lots of teenagers in old Saturn Ions, Toyota Yarises, and 7th and 8th gen Civics. A nice Acura beats all those!

I mean, what do you expect from a guy like that? Too pessimistec. Nothing wrong with letting car guys talk about cars. I hope he finds some cool shampoo guys.
