Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Though the capitalist world does promote increased consumption, I am not sure if socialism is the cure. 

 

 It doesn't just increase consumption it increases the inequality gap and makes the prices soar for instance in Russia when the post Stalin dictatorship backed by the usa the price of essential things like bread. In Bolivia it's dictatorship backed by the USA the price of water treipled and the price of medicine increase a thousandfold

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Well capitalism is about market forces. Curtailing supply is a way to make prices rise, the same way advertising modifies demand. Any system needs proper controls to minimize abuse.

It pulls pretty well for a 1,6

And yes.. I am a top 40 listener

Dat fuel consumption though.

43 liters per 100km? That is worse than a G-wagen. I hope it's just instant consumption data and not average.

Might be because i've got a lot of ethanol in the tank. But yeah it's probably instant consumption data

it is instant because you can see it dropping down to 19 at the end (and jumps a bit between 0 and 24)

My 190 would've had a very noticable engine note from 2000rpm and up

I feel that Nissan will make something else for North America. I think American buyers will find the bed too short.

 

I actually see a lot of short bed trucks. Its becoming popular i think because you cant park a normal truck in a parking lot anymore. Its all made for smart cars now.

i can still make this fit though. Even with an 8ft bed.

i have actually drove over curbs to park a couple times. Those stupid parking blocks mean nothing to this truck.

If it was a little taller i could fit the front of a honda accord under the back. All the way to the windshield. (I know this from being rear ended by one.)

Damn that's cool!

 

I would love to see a tuned one in person and see how much faster it is cuz damn the Syclone is a beast already stock. 

 

I'm a little sad that my dad is going to sell it one day.... But at least I know that when he sells it, he'll be getting his dream car- a White 911 4S - right after.
