Members lokidecat Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Like I siad. supras CAN be fast. Most of them aren't. Becuase the engines have such peaky output curves. They tend to be slower for a given output then a comparable V8 engine.Power under the curve. the camaro I am reffering to should run 9.00's at 160+. It runs on pump fuel to unlike the supras that fast. yerp. i'm not a huge fan o driving fast anymore. must be my old age. give me a car that claims 100+ miles per gallon and i get dreamy. or the Tesla which is an electric sports car with a flat torque curve (aka: it has all it's power across all RPM) http://www.teslamotors.com/performance/acceleration_and_torque.php check that out.. it's dreamy to have 300lb-ft at 1 RPM...

Members t3ch Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 The red head is fond of them, but she's taken. Your best bet is the DJ. Good call. The salon girl is probably too used to pretty people and I would fail in comparison. The DJ is musically and that will be right up my alley.Woohoo! Canadian rejection here I come. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I just like cars in general. Supras, Mustangs, Camaros, rocket vehicles, Porsche's... Whatevs man, they're all cool. I don't understand why people feel the need to pick sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dude. Electric cars offer so much potential in terms of performance. the reason cars get worse fuel economy then they did 10 years ago is wieght and aerodynamics. 10-15 years ago cars didn;t wiegh as much and they had much slicker "although admitedaly ugly" styling. 1996 chevy lumina. 20 city 28 highway 2003 chevy malibu 16 city 22 highway. Owned both. I though it was rediculous. On the note of the Tesla. That really show cases exactly what a electric car COULD be like. the primary limiting factory still is battery technology. the future is comming. Been going to college course for electric motors and systems control trying to get ahead of the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AluminumNeck Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'd rather have a supercharger. Sure. As long as its a twin screw lysholm design. I can dig that. Superchargers are nice but turbos make more power per pound of boost and are alot easier on the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members randombastage Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Your smoking crack. I drive it 500 miles a week and cruise it all over the tristate area. I'm not saying your car can't be driven around town...at some kind of manageable speed. I'm taking a friendly shot at your example of a ultra high hp camaro being an impressive "fast" car. There is fast and there is fast and putting tons of power in a camaro creates a very narrow window of usability. Sure in a straight line/drag strip you'll perform well. But try taking it out on a road course and keep up with a car with half the horsepower built at half the cost and you'll be embarrassed. I won't be on the brakes until much later/deeper into the turn than you will, much faster through the turns than you and on the throttle quicker coming out of the turns than you and stable up to 200 mph for as long as I have fuel. I'll take the near 1 second loss to you in the 1/4 mile on a strip everyday knowing I've got your number on virtually every other surface all day everyday.... I've got a 7.2 pound per horsepower ratio in a super comfortable leather cockpit, autobahn burning well balanced well suspended machine putting 500 horses to the ground. It's a little different kind of 'fast' for a lot less $. Just a little smack talk from the bigger isn't always better side of the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
