NEXT WEEK - 24 Heures du Mans

...

Quite a lot of /ovg/ gets autistic about motorsports

twin turbo V6 > V8

...

kek, this.

>no v8
>no manual
>'muh low volume'
>400,000$ price

That disgusting thing will never be a GT.

...

>No V8
Exactly, it has a V6 that outperforms V8's.
>no manual
If the GTR was manual it wouldn't be as fast as it is.
>muh low volume
It's not a corvette that's supposed to depreciate, dumbass.
>400,000 dollar price
Why is this a problem? It's going to outperform the Adventador and 675 LT with ease.

You're an idiot.

...

I'd be surprised if even one of the Ford finishes the race much less get a GTE podium. It'll most likely be another AF Corse vs Corvette Racing vs Manthey three-way the same as it's been for the last couple of years.

...

...

GM has lost every race since Ford won at Mazda Raceway laguna seca. Chevy isn't winning jack shit. This win is between Ford and Ferrari.

>did (board) tell you your favorite (thing) is shit?

That's kind of to be expected everywhere on Veeky Forums to be honest.

the fuck is this cuckold doing

...

posting A E S T H E T I C af cars

Saving this thread from /sp/ shitters.

>speedhunters will have an article about lemans

you truly are a dumb fucking nigger

Motorsports have no place on Veeky Forums.

Troll harder, newfag.

Corvette Racing hasn't competed in any races since Laguna Seca because their haven't been any GTLM races in IMSA since then, dummy.

>this cuckold thinks he can actually force that retarded meme

top kek, have fun i guess nigger

There's a little of it the /dbt/, too, but let's be honest here: If you've spent any amount of time on Veeky Forums you'd know that there are practically no threads about motorsport short of lame attempts at trolling.

Yeah, a lot of members there keep to their own thread, having no interest in cars outside motorsports and Initial D.

Veeky Forums has never been about cars or motorsports newfag.

FUCK, I'M SO OLD

we have had several threads on races that are actually relevant, we had a thread about the 24H of lemans last week and we had one for the VLN aswell

just ignore the assmad stancecuck

>yfw the new 911 is MR

I remember those threads. There were maybe like 2-3 people genuinely trying to discuss the race. Not counting the obvious troll thread, they barely had any replies. Just see for yourself:

People that say that /sp/ is a better place to talk about motorsports are not kidding. There are more threads and the live watching threads generally have more activity. It's not just the big races either. Right now there's 4 or 5 motorsport active threads in the /sp/ catalog. Each of them has more than mere dozen replies, too. When you shine a light on it, Veeky Forums knows jackshit about motorsports.

>GM will literally get BTFO

4 GTs. 2 Corvettes. 24 hours. The final battle to end all shitposting once and for all.

>go to /sp/
>all chat is about drivers

literally who cars Veeky Forums cares about cars not the drivers

>implying it will end the funposting
It will just be more fuel for more Ford > GM posting.

Ford will dominate.

GM will get BTFO.

The Poorvette won last year, but the GT has been looking pretty good too. And theres twice as many of them so a failure would be less catastrophic. This will be interesting.

>thinks drivers have nothing to do with the results of the race.

This is why people go to to talk about the races.

>implying I implied they don't

I implied we don't care about them, because its true

Not to sound snarky, but that's kind of a big reason why motorsport threads are not a thing on Veeky Forums. Even racecar discussion (of which there practically is none on Veeky Forums) is mostly people speculating on things which they no nothing about and/or turn into another Nissan/GM turdflinging contest or some other such nonsense. Just look at this very thread and see that there are only a handful of replies relating to the OP topic that's not a bait or stancefagging.

She's old as fuck.

Meanwhile the following were designed from the groud up for this year

Michelotto's Ferrari 488 GTE
Multimatic Motorsports Ford GT
Prodrive Racing's Aston Martin Vantage GT8 GTE

They will be outclassed by an array of all new cars.

Thats the whole spirit of the Corvette! The old bitch has life in her yet!

Yea, except it's done nothing but lose ever since Mazda Raceway laguna Seca. The battle is between Ferrari and Ford.

Which is why it constantly gets BTFO.

Did you respond to the wrong post or something ? Your argument doesn't fit

He should have stuck with BMW

>PorscheorAudiWinsLOL

If you want to win an argument, a popular Veeky Forums tactic is to argue with a person who isn't there.

Its won Daytona and Sebring this year. Plus the fact that its old and tested helps in an endurance race, as Nissan learned last year.

this to be quite honest family

Veeky Forums doesn't have the attention span to watch a 1 hour Grand Prix. They couldn't handle shitposting laptimes slightly less for 24 Hours, nor could they be able to contain their sperg rage at the sight of a Corvette performing well.

Sad, but that's the world we live in.

>Corvette
>performing well.

good meme

Nice defense mechanism fampai

This is why people go to /sp/ to discuss actual racing

see

>literally ragequitting and running away to another board because he can't handle the banter

reminder the Corvette can't win in GT3

>She's old as fuck.

Not really when you consider that the car itself still gets developed and updated. Just this year it has a new rollcage and aero package. And it's pace in its IMSA campaign has brought victories in the two biggest races so far this year.

>Yea, except it's done nothing but lose ever since Mazda Raceway laguna Seca.

How many races has it lost since Laguna Seca?

1.

>Yea, except it's done nothing but lose ever since Mazda Raceway laguna Seca. The battle is between Ferrari and Ford.

Which was a month ago. It still has the most victories this season and the most points. Sorry real life doesn't align to your meme agenda.

Okay, enjoy getting BTFO.

I'm rooting for Ford, 50 Year Anniversary Victory son

I'll try.

But it just did. A 1-2 even.

It'll be the right night for a gear jammer.

I just can't wait.

>GT40
>Racing in the top league, bristling with raw power, so fast it can put most modern supercars to shame

>Road car is probably going to be just as trash as the last one
>A fucking ecoboost V6 because Ford hates driving feels
>Could've made an extremely uptuned V8 like a koenigsegg and produced an American hypercar, instead they played it safe and are overcharging for what's likely going to be an even worse car than the last GT

Just fucking stop, Ford.

>implying
The new GT was built to BTFO Ferrari, just like the original GT40.
Nothing below $750k will outperform it, except some street legal race cars like Radicals, Ultimas, BAC Monos and Ariel Atoms.

They chose a V6 because they wanted performance not a fucking dyno queen.

m8 there have been stickies for the 24LM the past few years I've watched the whole thing.

>built to BTFO Ferrari
no it wasn't. dont believe everything you read by anonymous shitposters.

>Nothing below $750k will outperform it
bet

They literally went with the V6 because they intended to take it endurance racing.

>no it wasn't
Yes, it was. It was only built to beat Ferrari.

>only v6's are capable of performance
>got an uptuned v8? it's le dyno queen xD
more like it's fucking sad that all of Ford's money and engineers and they can't even bring any kind of pride to America's auto industry by making a car to compete with Koenigsegg, the LaFerrari, 918 and the P1, instead they have to twiddle their dicks and act like it's a big deal that the new GT can outrun a 458 and then breakdown halfway through the second lap.

Good idea let's send quality threads elsewhere and keep all the shitposting for Veeky Forums.

ford and ferrari haven't been in a feud for fucking decades

the new gt has literally nothing in common with the gt40. they should've named it something else.

so once again ford's engineers are too stupid to figure out a technology that worked fine in the 1960s and give it modern facelifts. nice to know.

No, they had cars running that V6 competing allready. Why develop an all-new engine when you can take an already proven endurance racing engine and build a car around that for maximum performance instead?

>muh hp
It's supposed to be lightweight, you imbecile. A LT4 supercharged engine weighs 529 lbs. An average EcoBoost weighs 450 lbs. That's over a 70 lb difference. Not even including that the GT's engine will have carbon fiber making it weigh even less. How many fucking times do I have to tell you guys this? It's not aiming for a 250 MPH top speed. It's aiming for track times.
>the new GT has nothing in common with the old one
Yes, it does. Raping the living fuck out of its competitors. The new GT will have over 700 hp and weigh under 2800 lbs. Nothing under 750k will beat except cars like the ariel atom and bac mono.

>Banter

That's not how you spell "shitposting in every thread" user.

t. assmad gm fangirl

why does it have to be supercharged in the first place

also
>trying to be light
>uses a double clutch gearbox
wew lad.

>it's aiming for track times
and it's underpowered and too heavy to be any good at that.

>Nothing under 750k will beat except cars like the ariel atom and bac mono.
lmao this is what you actually believe

>Leaving the track at a 24h race
Cucks. You stay for the whole thing.
Or at least, I would if I ever got around to attending the Rolex 24 because I'm sure as fuck not able to afford a trip to Yurop.
Daytona's less than 200 miles.

>underpowered
[citation needed]
>is this what you actually believe
Yes, name a car that you think will beat it. Besides race cars like the bac mono or ACR.

>underpowered and too heavy
>2800lbs
>700+hp

Just accept our lord and savior FORD. ECOBOOST is the future.

>underpowered
it's aiming to produce ~700hp of torque for it's ~500 ft/lb. that's fucking shameful and just proof that the engineers behind it are incompetant and don't know how to tune an engine correctly.

>name a car that you think will beat it
Mclaren 675LT, Porsche GT3 RS 4.0, hell the pigfat amg gt black is probably going to be fucking faster

the real question is what car isn't going to kick the ever loving shit out of ford's embarrassing attempt.

It will have more power and weigh less. It's going to blow everything short of a P1/918/LaFerrari/One:1 the fuck out.

and yet it still won't clear 0-100 in under 3 seconds.

>675 LT
>less aerodynamic
>weighs 200 lbs more
>has atleast 40 less horsepower

>Porsche GT3 RS
There's no point in dissecting this argument because the GT3RS is slower than a 675LT.

>AMG GT
Now you've proven you're a troll.

[citation needed]

>he legitimately believes this oversimplification is ok
there's a lot more to going fast than horsepower and weight, lad.

Don't worry bros, shitposters like the ones in this thread dont come into the actual race threads

[citation needed] that the ford gt is gonna be anything bot a hot steaming pile of shit like the last one

The burden of proof is on you.
Okay, buddy. Stay delusional, when you get BTFO it will be even more hilarious.

>street legal supercar based on a racer specifically built for laptimes
>not faster than a track special version of a road-going sports car

>what are diminishing returns

actually the burden of proof is on you cause you started with baseless claims that user's speculation was wrong

so still waiting on that.

can't wait to see ford's shitty daytona prototype finish behind chebby's corvette prototype too.

Jesus fucking christ, GM's marketing team arrived early today.

Nope it's on you, dumbass.
