Be Yuropoor

Like horsepower fucking matter for a utility vehicle. It's a diesel, it'll tow almost 8000 lbs, end of story.

>parents first car was a 1989 nissan diesel hatchback
>it did 5l/100km or even less
>modern cars with 5x the tech and advances in combustion engines can't do it

technology was a mistake

>want an American car with a big V8
>tfw 21 year old male, so the insurance, registration and gas costs would kill me
>tfw I can only find V6 automatics under 10k here in Europe
Oh well, at least BMWs are widespread and cheap here

Get a Japanese V8, more reliable, more power, better on fuel, widespread and cheap in Europe

>(excluding fuel)
i dunno that's a pretty big difference, in my country fuel is almost 7usd per gallon
nips don't post here

you can get a 375hp 2 liter in europe, see Mercedes CLA

I'm from the UK bro just don't worry about it

japanese V8s can be had with autos only.
also all japanese V8s come with useless pigfat boat chassis

is gas not that expensive in the UK?

Yeah, but it's only luxury sedans, right? I don't think there are any Japanese sport coupes with a V8

>be amerifat
>5.0l
>260hp
>get sideswiped by a teenage girl in her moms 300hp lexus SUV
>die

American V8 cars are all garbage don't worry

You can get any Jap car imported in the UK lad.
Yeah fuel is stupid money just don't drive as much when you have a lean month dude

I don't care about american V8's.

>my first car is a 1999 nissan petrol hatchback
>it does 5l/100km or even less when I'm not pushing it
>maintenance and parts are as cheap as owning a car can possibly be
Feels good man, I know I'll miss this when I get something newer and nicer some day

these are about £10k or less in the UK and i can get one insured for £700-800. wat do

Patrician taste lad

You don't seem to understand, user. The yuropoor memes are funny because they're based in reality. What you posted isn't. 3/10 made me reply.

you buy one and try to not kill yourself in it or lose your license

Are they really down to 10k now? I think last time I checked they were 15-20.

If that's the 2nd gen 400hp one, then get it 100%

only the older 5.7s are that cheap, the newer 6.0s are at least 15k+ and at that price i'd rather have an E92 M3

>1955 Chevy car
>195hp

>20xx European car
>190hp

Really makes you think.

Still worth it desu, It's the only muscle car that was sold on the UK market right?

195hp in a land barge v8is different than 195hp in a compact i4

yeah and that engine has 5 times the displacement and weighs 5 times as much.

Hp is Hp. That low power output V8 is still running to this day.

it's the only one i know of except for the new mustang. i do see some older imports around but i'm not sure if i'd be able to put up with LHD

A 1L is an economy engine in cars. Things aren't just scaled linearly.

do the larger engines have more torques ?
it would be surprising if they did not

A 1l can put out 200+, even 300+ with enough mods, so a 5,0 v6 should produce 1000hp, right?

What top trim European sports car makes 190hp lel

>want something more powerful
teehee buy this riced as fuck R/RS/GT/GTI/AMG version which contains all shit you won't ever use.

fuck that

I have motorcycles with more power than that, and they don't need faggy ass turbos to do it.

>not spending 40k on a Mercedes-AMG A 45 4MATIC 2liter turbo

The diesel luxury cars you people drive there.

>Live in a place you can actually call a city

>Comfy 1l 68hp C1

If your "city" is made of concrete and 90% of the streets are not one-way, then it's not a city.

>Grow up not far away from Manhattan
>main roads in the city are 3-5 lanes each way in one direction
>tiny streets the other way, often one-way
>arbitrary irregularities all over the place
>secret passages
>half of it is blocked off because today is the latvian parade day or because a steam tunnel exploded or maybe a garbage truck can't get through
>actually it's all blocked off because somebody closed a lane on the LIE 30 miles away and it's backed up through the tunnels and they're doing work on a bridge
>still can't experience it properly without 170-200HP minimum because that's city-rally driving

Audi TTs mk2 2.0 L 272 hp

I know the fucking pain
The worst thing is that it really fucks up the car culture and I feel like (atleast in east europe) there are only 3 types of groups:
-drifters, but 97% of people only listen to rap, drive BMW with self-welded diff and get "fuck the police" stickers
-stancers, but that mostly contains people in golfs with barely living engines
-pseudo-rally pros that rally with fucking Fiats 126 and Seicento

Mégane III RS 2.0 L 250 hp

hp is hp
and lbs is lbs

downsizing is for retards, i don't want a sport car with a 2.0 L 4 cylinders engine and 2+ turbos

>Hp is Hp
European cars had 215hp with 6 cyl engines back in 1955 while americans had 195hp V8's.
American engineering has always been nigger tier

i know its probably bait but the luxury diesel trucks are like the SQ7 and they have around 400Hp but yeah most of them are shit and have around 150.... sad

Shame that most of these people are just gangster-wanna be

gangsters were cool and classy though

maybe 10 years ago, but not today

They still do this in my area

same in georgia caucasus
its either gangsta wannabes drifting their stock diesel bmws and think they are fucking oom500 guy, or some cunts with propane tanks in trunk and 5.5l benz's. offroaders are absolute cunts most time dressed all tacticool le real man
bikers are decent guys here

>what is added weight from passive safety

>Le white gangsters were classy because they wore suits
Stfu faggot

>be in kiwiland
>bought a ford v8
>its a rare ford manufacturered in aus ordered new only 20 in existence.
>lols at all of you miserable whiners.

A mistake.

Nah. Not really. I for one appreciate passive safety much more than all the active assistants and beepers that you can't even turn off.

(To be clear my car is a 5-star one, including whiplash test but yet has a pretty decent visibility. I'm not defending lazy manufacturers who just add metal everywhere without thinking first.)

If you do get an BMW I hope it's a white, rusty one.
Nothing quite captures the redneck teenager like a white BMW with "drift" stickers everywhere.

just get a e46 crybaby faggot

literally changes nothing

>live in east europe
>like honda and bmw
>honda is disliked by most of car people here
>bmw is hated by most of car people here
why live

what do the eastern european car people like then? VW?
Plenty of bimmers in the eastern european drift scene.

>believing any of this shit

So what does that mean when everyone else sucks

You could always get a Toyobaru.

Despite what I said, a lot of bimmers and VAGers, but I feel like they dislike each other and so does everyone else
Honda people are mostly just a thing to laught at for the majority
Brands that have a good and rather big community and aren't mocked are mostly Toyota/Lexus, saab, Mazda and Ford

There are plenty of decent hp cars you can buy. Focus ST, Mazda 3 MPS, Megáne R32, etc.

>implying that insanely low specific power output has to do anything with reliability

I mean yeah a highly strung 2.0 N/A that makes more than 250HP isn't going to be super reliable but the oldsmobile diesel was a huge piece of shit and that made like 20hp/l

germany what the shit

get a motorcycle

>1.2l engine
>109bhp
>in a 200kg machine

they can but there are downsides. getting the feeling you're not the brightest kid.

Honestly I never owned Alfa, I don't meet them that often and from what I've heard, they are mostly considered as unreliable cars in my country
