Why the fuck does normies have so much hatred for our hobby?
Everytime I mention my car is a 3.0 straight 6 that does less than half the mpg of their econobox. They always go on about how stupid and wasteful it is to drive that kind of car. And that I should get some hybrid shitbox.
Why can't they just accept that this is one of the few things in life that brings me joy? I live alone in a small apartment and I don't go out of way step people over their feet. But still I get shit on. I don't have much of anything going for me.
It hurts br/o/s. How to deal?
Adrian Wood
Why do you care what they think?
Cooper Price
if you can afford it, who cares. yeah spending money on gas blows, but you have a car that's part sports car.
just put 89/plus for like 1-3 extra MPG, and better engine performance
Evan Walker
Start running over people with your car and see if that helps
Eli Martinez
Who cares what they think? Just do your own thing, and if they keep giving you shit for it, ditch them, since they're shitty friends.
Kayden Thompson
just boast about it m8, normies at work get mad when i get 18mpg in my 1.8 4 banger. why would i want to drive an nofun car just to save on fuel costs to spend on more nofun things
Ayden Walker
All the normies at work think 14mpg is cool
>your car is so loud desu >omg 5 liter? V8? it's so big >I bet it takes longer to warm it up >is the third pedal for burnouts
I love my freedoms
Christian Carter
Ignore everything a normie says. They're just hating because their own lives are miserable
Chase Morris
Stop talking to normies. >3l 6cyl is wasteful Lmao
Nathan Stewart
5ltr best ltr desu m8
Asher Wright
>3L Lmao m8 in the dutch caliphate my 2L golf GTD is considered wasteful among 1L i3 cuckboxes
Noah Evans
I have a 2.5L I6, iktf. Every normie thinks 170 hp is insanely powerful and says that I should have gotten a diesel car. Although it's just occasional comments, when I take them for a ride, everyone loves it.
Joseph Rodriguez
What beemer do you got? E36,E39 or a E46
Josiah Sanders
E46
Kayden Sanders
/thread Also, jelly fags ang generally people with shit personality are ones who trashtalk like that.
William Fisher
>E39 525 >powerful
Fucking eurofags lol
Parker Hill
Better hp/l compared to your v8 crap
Christian Torres
170hp? My station wagon has more horsepower than that
Michael Miller
Because they feel retarded riding their bicycles in the rain while you pass by them in your car and splash them with dirty road water.
Oliver Long
>tfw my 320d wagon has more power than that
Nicholas Williams
525 has 192hp though.
Brody Perry
yeah the 523i has a 2.5L 6cyl with 170hp
Isaiah Bailey
>523i
Joseph Davis
Im not the guy who posted about 170hp being powerful though, i was just clearing up the misunderstanding that it was a 525
Got a 320d myself, 184hp, you can call it pathetic if you want but the engine in this car is a detuned version of the same engine as a new 325D, and the E90 like i have was sold as 328D in the USA, i can safely get over 280hp with just a remap, all while getting 50 MPG
Joseph Edwards
Compared to the majority of cars here, which are sub-1.4L shitboxes with double digit horsepower, it is powerful. Believe me, I'd have a more powerful engine if I could, but considering how much more expensive insurance, registration and the purchase price of the car would be, I'm quite happy with my choice.
Gavin Price
Stop hanging around soibois
Elijah Perry
Manual 525i is slower than a manual focus se
Dylan Wright
kek >your truck is so big >why do you have such large tires >I could never drive a stick >why is it so loud >Does that get miles to the gallon or gallons to the mile >tfw the rear axles fell out
I didn't drive my truck daily, it was a mud toy/backup truck. Fuck it's a sexy Bronco. Once the weather gets better I'll be getting it all fixed up again. I miss it so much.
Mason Brown
Shit, I've never owned anything with less than 200hp. I can't imagine driving with double digit HP, let alone 150hp. The highways in the states require a bit of power to stay safe.
Benjamin Phillips
>he has never thrashed around in a 700kg 1996 suzuki swift with power comparable to a washing machine
Chase Powell
LOL no, I drove a 2CV for 3 months and had no issues Maybe it's dangerous if you're a hot head who needs to over take everyone, but otherwise you can stay well above the minimum speed limit just fine
Justin Foster
Being sub 1000Kg featherweights helps a lot. Mine has 82hp for 800Kg, and paired with a low ratio gearbox it picks up speed nicely. Don't expect it to do anymore than 170-180Km/h, but honestly above that it doesn't have the weight or aerodynamics to stay stable anyway.
Jonathan Moore
You do know that Jeeps used to come with 100hp right? The carbed 6cyl had 100hp up until 90. and the 4 cyl had 100hp up until 2005. All in an aero-brick weighing more than your mum. Top speed of 70 downhill with a tail wind.
Daniel Howard
Ls3 426hp / 6.2 L = 68.7 hp/L Euro trash 170hp / 2.5 L = 68 hp/L
Top kek
Aiden Stewart
80's Euro trash 4.5 liter vee ate 220hp = 48.8hp/l 80's Euro trash 2.2 liter tarbo 210hp = 95.4hp/l
Americans BTFO. V8's BTFO.
Henry Davis
The 523i is detuned, 525i is a better comparison at 192hp
To be fair comparing american engines to german engines is like comparing special ed fingerpainting to classical artistry
Alexander Murphy
No, the 523i is an M52TUB25. The 525 was an M54B25. The z3, e46, and e39 all saw the transition between the M52 and the M54. The M54 wasn't "tuning" the M52. It was an entirely new engine platform based off the old one.
Aiden Wright
>ls >doesn't wear out its rod bearings and destroy the engine
Adam Butler
The S54 is 103 hp/l. It also made 333hp in the E46, And just barely above 300 in the Z3 and Z4.
No idea where you're pulling this 360 figure from.
Charles Parker
stop being California
Brayden Walker
t. Never been to california
The streets of LA are littered with performance cars
Carson Ward
Ah right, my bad, sorry, still not the best comparison, a 523i isn't exactly a remarkable car
Wasn't saying the S85 was the best engine ever, but comparing a legendary performance engine to an almost base-model engine just to show it has 0.7 more HP/L isn't really relevant
Easton Harris
I've been and it was shit like an even gayer Europe
Kayden Bell
look up E46 M3 CSL
Josiah Richardson
>Better hp/l compared to your v8 crap
Euros moving goalposts
Ethan Price
more hp/Liter = more powerful
Hunter Fisher
Why do people give a shit about hp/L anyway? It's a completely irrelevant metric in every way aside from bragging rights.
Leo Flores
I am gay and thought california was too gay
Chase Brooks
You sound butthurt, everybody knows california is one of the most popular places for car enthusiasts. I mean unless you’d rather race tractors with cletus.
Luis Robinson
Kind of right. Horsepower to engine weight ratio is more important
Josiah Perez
hp/l is a direct measurement of efficiency. Engines make power by efficiency. It means that scaled up or down, an engine design *should* out perform another. Turbos really fuck that all up hard though. It really only works for comparing n/a engines.
Jack Gray
But why is efficiency important in real life? It doesn't even automatically mean better fuel economy, so that point is moot.
Jaxson Powell
Why do you care what NPC's think?
Benjamin Diaz
>3.0 straight 6
Like any normie knows what that means or gives a fuck.
They're normies because they don't care.
Easton Ramirez
Woo that made me giggle
Bentley Morgan
Only at the rpm where it makes that power. The S2000 may make like 240bhp from a 2l but it only manages that at like 9000rpm. Under that it makes a lot less power than other engines
Sebastian Adams
I've adopted this mindset recently. Thought I was original in coming up with calling them NPCs the other day though
Brody Ward
I didn't come up with, probably stole it from you in fact.
Joseph Robinson
It's going to be hilarious when their fetished climate change turns out to be cooling. M-muh co2... m-m-muh greenhauz.
Noah Cook
2.9L 450 hp, stationwagon.
James Mitchell
My car has 40HP and an 850cc 4 cylinder. >700kg My car is 400kg
Who else here /old microcars/?
Joshua Adams
Micro penis? (Bad eye sight)
Adrian Harris
That's not a very nice thing to say, user This is supposed to be a wholesome thread
Ethan Butler
It could still be. Just go for a night drive. It will clear your mind
Austin Powell
whos this they? anyone that rags on someone elses ride opens themselves up to rebuttle noone is perfect eveyone has flaws
