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

I'd imagine this has come up before, but oh well.

 

What's your absolute dream car?

 

If you could have any car on Earth. What would that car be?

 

For me it's a 2006 WRX STI. Absolutely perfect in my eyes.

Turns out, it's not just the city here that's rude, i feel like the whole northern part of the state is rude. My dad came home yesterday from work 2 hours away and it's been keyed, gotten dents, bashed windows, and spray paint. that's totally fucking rude and i'm gonna find whoever did it. Good thing where my dad works, there's security cameras in the parking lot.

Any R-chassis Skyline, including the R35, which people think is not a true Skyline. But still great nonetheless

Agreed.

 

My personal favorite would be the R34 Skyline Bayside Blue or Midnight Purple 

However, if I really had a chance it would be an original stock Mustang '67 in White

Then again there's also the urge for a Datsun 280zx inside me

 

I would like to drive any car to be honest

My favorite car is any car

I want a 280ZX so bad as well. My dad did own one, but he sold it bc it didn't treat him well. probably bc of the fuel injection system was dumb.

 

 

i would like that too, but my JDM side makes me think of a 2JZ swap in it lol

Any one of these, preferrably the middle one with either a Mine's high response engine or a full Tomei rebuild. N1 parts where applicable.

But I wouldn't mind a good GR STI either, with the rally bodywork because what is visibility.

Oooh, i would love to drive a small car like that here. Too  bad America hates small cars and kills off practically every one that makes it to the market. Except the MX-5, which is the best selling roadster in America, but that's not even small compared to some kei cars lol

OK true, but they handle like a dream. they're still fun. i don't understand. europe has semis almost as big as america, yet they still drive tiny cars as well. why are people so afraid in america of dying in a small car?

He helped his grandfather restore it, he was the only one that helped. So when his grandfather passed away the car went to him. We all love the car, but I could never daily it. I'd feel awful ever drifting it or anything like that. Which is what I love doing.

It's not like they don't have a reason for not buying a tiny car... I mean, most of the Americans that I've met (not a large number) wouldn't fit the front passenger seat of a 2014 Alto 800...

European semis travel slower I think, so you won't get crushed as quickly. Plus they don't have SUVs everywhere. Imagine getting pushed in to an intersection with SUV cross-traffic. o_O

I'd buy two, one as a backup and to make molds for some sheet metals that I couldn't just buy from a store. I know you can get quarter panels and floor panels online, maybe firewalls, but not the rest. So I'd daily the hell out of one if I didn't have to worry too much about it being original and getting trashed.

Having heard the GT350R-C rip through 2nd and 5th gear corners, I can definitely vouch for it being a magical engine. Still nowhere near as loud as the C7.R though. 

 

(just realized I don't have my recording up, so this will do)
