Why Do Americans Insist On Having Such Large Engines?

you're on top of the world

We don't have engine size taxes.

Maybe you should, then you might finally have enough money to fix the two TRILLION dollar gap in your infrastructure maintenance and stop your bridges from collapsing.

Displacement tax wouldn't help much. if anything the military budget needs to be cut down drastically as I've come across several people in the Navy on Veeky Forums who joined just to get paid shit loads of money to sweep the deck and do the occasional military exercise while their goal is to pick up souvenirs or grope local japanese school girl's asses.

Need to remove ourselves from the middle east (never should've went there regardless of 9/11) and call me a trump-tard or whatever (didn't support him) as i don't know if this is a controversial stance but (maybe) just maybe other countries like Japan and South Korea should be allowed to fully build up their own military and develop their own Nuclear arsenal and then they can deal with whatever threat comes from North Korea themselves with no input from us (although North Korea actually being a threat is doubtful and they most likely aren't going to do anything but put everyone in east Asia on edge)

Why we are protecting Isreal at all is beyond me. all the source of their problems is from religious differences and disputes of who actually spiritually owns that piece of desert. id be fine with them completely telling the entire middle eastern region to fuck off and come to the states or any western country. Jews are mostly peaceful people who keep to themselves anyway and most of them in Isreal live like Americans and are already well off so they wouldn't be on any welfare wherever they went.

Drug war should be ended altogether. Drugs should be legal and taxed.

People with low income/in poverty should be given incentives (like cash or a check that is totally up to them to take) to sterilize themselves so they don't produce children they can't take care of to be a strain on the system.

Sorry for that autistic rant just now.

>shit loads of money
The navy isn't paying shit loads of money unless you are from a third world country or making the federal minimum wage.
base pay is like $1600 a month.
If you are so jelly of the broom pushers why not pick up a broom?

My mistake then. i figured they were since some of them made threads asking which sports cars to bring back which probably wouldn't be affordable for minimum wage workers on top of bragging about how they don't really do much.

haven't we had this thread enough times

$1600 a month with all your housing, food, utilities, health care, etc. covered and taken care of is pretty decent money, considering apartments around here start at $700/month for a single room in a house with a shared bathroom and no on-site laundry, and to make $1600/month you have to make about $4/hour more than local minimum wage.

They also have programs, not sure if they apply to deployments, but they definitely apply for basic training, where if you have evidence of paying rent for a place to live, they'll give you the cost of the rent on top of your regular pay, so you can have a place to live when you get back. A lot of people just make up a receipt for $1000+/month for living in their mothers basement and keep it.

>2.2 cavalier
>120hp when new
>implying i don't need to keep it floored to get to highway speed

My 95 talon had 25 more HP and that made a world of difference

I would shudder to think of some poor euro fuck trying to drive an 75hp diesel on 80mph freeways
Would get devastated by a goddamn semi that never saw him and never stopped because all he felt was a pothole

Classic trap for people joining the military. 18 year old has his first time job and works out banks will loan him $60000 to buy a SS Commodore no money down. I knew a bloke in training who bought a HSV Maloo and couldn't afford insurance and then crashed the damn thing.

Because america is always about having "the most." I don't even mean this in some superiority complex way, but the idea is that more is always better. 1000HP street car? Yes. Because a 1000HP street car is twice as good as a 500HP street car. 50 caliber rifle? Yes please. Etc.

Nigga, I drove a 65hp car on the german autobahn for 5 years, its perfectly doable and safe. Dont talk shit out of your ass.

>not cucked by socialist governments or sand niggers
>constantly at war with both

sounds pretty cucked famalam

>le pushrods are le small meme

>8 lanes wide
>perfectly smooth
>well engineered on ramps

autobahn might as well be a test track designed around 1930s 40hp shitboxes

wait until you see a 20ft run up after a tight loop and tell me your shitbox could do that without becoming a hood ornament

>Europoors don't know the freedom of buying a brand new crate V8 350 for $3000

It dosent matter OP.
Euro cars sell in USA, USA cars do not sell in Europe.
We win

>Amerilobbies don't know the freedom of importing cars less than 25 years old

>I see big sales number so it must sell well
First off champ, america doesn't sell cars in yurop because yuropeans don't buy too many cars per capita. They have shit ass subsidiaries that sell shit ass europeans cars.
Second, there are a lot more car buyers in america so while BMW may sell a lot more 3 series in the US, per capita its not as impressive counting Toyota might sell 100 corollas for every 3 series leased and then sold 3 years later.

That's pre tax. Joe blow enlisted isn't giving you
>the cost of the rent on top of your regular pay
> A lot of people just make up a receipt for $1000+/month for living in their mothers basement and keep it.
Yep sounds right, does the navy even care?
Why aren't you in the navy with how easy it is to scam the military?

So people drive the limit even on the most right of lanes and dont make ways for people merging? Land of the free at its best.

>tfw thread doesnt go as planned

depends on weight of car, but as a general rule yes a 1000hp car is better than a 500 hp car. It's unlikely one is 50% lighter than the other.

>america doesn't sell cars in yurop because yuropeans don't buy too many cars per capita.

America doesnt sell much cars in the EU cause you make shitty cars. Example for this is that the most bought brand in the US is Japanese. Ford sells A LOT of cars here, because they are designed and made in Germany (excluding the Mustang). GM recently left the market since they've been selling all kinds of crap for years, like rebadged korean shitboxes etc.

Damn these USA vs. yurop threads tick me off.

t. slovenian caliphate

>1/3 the displacement
yeah no shit its smaller

It doesn't have to be 50% lighter. It'll already outhandle and therefore outrun the 1000 hp car around actual corners if it's 30% lighter.

sounds good and the rumble makes my pussy wet

>23mpg US

and no it doesn't unless you're going 45 on the highway. And I'm guessing you reset the trip meter as you're slowing down from flooring it on the on ramp to artificially increase the MPG on your dash readout, and then ignore the fact that it gets 8mpg city.

>Such large engines

American engines are incredibly efficient. They can have up to 7.0L of displacement in the same space where Mazda can fit 1.6.

...

Lucky stroke, if it weren't for the LS engine GM would already be out of business. Anything else they touch ends up being complete garbage.

>S/o/viet is a cuck who can't handle a v8 pushrod engine
Why am I not surprised.

Stop projecting virgin

>ITT people who dont understand how boost mongles on fuel

I'm sorry bench racer but I have driven a v8 OHC powered car because I'm not a third world shitskin like you.

Except that for the same power output a turbo will be much more fuel efficient. Build a 500 hp N/A and put the foot down and tell me what happens to the fuel needle.

Are a kissless virgin or just a no sex virgin?

it empties 5 seconds earlier than the ttv6 but the turbos are fucked now

My ls1 with a t56 and 3.08 rear end gets better milage than 4 bangers and 6 cyls so retarded cunts btfo

Inb4 muh wot efficiency who gives a fuck

This. Im a Modular fan but up until the Coyote/Voodoo they were btfo by the LS family. What was the point of DOHC in the 5.4 when your stroke is so long that you can't rev. Too bad the LS engines are so unreliable and poorly built LS7/LS9 aside. Great design though.

>Complains that Americans insist on having large V8 engines.

>Ignores that Europe is the main producer of V10-V12 engines.

Are you even trying?

The ls are not unreliable tho stop talking shit.

What eurotard is saying is only poor people can have cuck engines rich people can have whatever they want t. classist

Nah man, he is saying how inefficient American engines are, which is simply false. Ignoring the obvious fact that Lambo, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc. make engines that get approximately 7 mpg, let's take a look at the BMW M6. It has LESS displacement than the current V8 Mustang and a twin turbo and it still manages to get worse gas mileage. Plus, being a European engine, it'll likely explode after about 30,000 miles. Not only are their engines less efficient, they are shit quality as well.

Its based on paygrade, where your stationed and if you deploy.

My best friend just bought a Gt350, he spent 2 years on a boat in the Marines as "Deployed" got deployment pay, Sea pay, ontop of regular e5 pay.

I don't know about LS3 but LS1/2 have horrible reputation
