>Build a supercar
>instead of putting an excellent and proven engine in it, you put a V6 in it

Have you driven it?

Yeah, I thought the R35 was pretty disappointing too

They put the 3.5TT in it specifically because it was an endurance racing engine.

>STILL fucking bawling about "muh v6"
I wish I could find you IRL to cut your Internet access. No one fucking cares the new GT has a V6 except you.

Does he still have the car? Did you explain to him how stupid he is? Is he getting it fixed?

Yes,yes,yes.

I bought an ST over a 370 Nismo and a Mustang GT

>I don't regret it

Attached: 26621.jpg (2048x2048, 708K)

if you got it for under 20k then you did okay

The Nismo and GT were both $34k, the ST out the door was $21k.

>2015
>14k miles
>previous owner traded it in for an RS

jesus christ fucking shit i feel bad for the poor cunt who pays thirty four thousand american dollars for a 370

i traded in a slushbox 2006 Mustang for a Kia, at least the Kia is faster.

'15 FoST

>25k
>3 years old
>knock
this is exactly why i like buying cars without the boyracer image: they're never thrashed. any moderately powerful car that isn't exclusively marketed as a sports car will be in so much better shape than the average drift missile that it's insane.

>54k in burgerbux
you inverted boys have got it rough as far as autos go

>i bought a cuck mobile over these objectively superior cars

How do you even get knock this early?

>buying a ford

"no brainer" is right

i don't even own a ford ST product but you're retarded if you don't realize the tuning potential of the 2 liter ecoboost vs renissanault's ancient workhorse.

>Buy japshit with a knock at only 25k

>save over $10k
>get some practicality
>don't have a knock and my ass is toasty in the heated seats

lol

Ha ha! What a joke. The ST is in the shop so much Ford techs hate them.

>buys a lambo burnt in a fire with the intent of rebuilding it

i encourage lambro for being such a fucking madman

That's a weird way to spell retard

either way

>thinks theres 3 cars on the planet available for purchase

average consumer


>"save over 10k"

i saved over 240k not buying a ferrari hurr durr

i'm not defending the 370z just saying the ST is a cuck mobile

also the coyote > fucking 2 liter shit

and i dont even like mustangs

ford wanted to show off their ecoboost tech. the ford gt wasn’t ford trying to make a supercar. they were trying to create a marketing campaign

>sister is about to get license

Alloytecs are good with a few simple mods

tell your friend to kill himself please

Just lol

Why not buy a waterproof car cover for $100?

Not sure but I think given how little he uses his cars it'd probably be just as bad for it, cars tend to stew a bit if left under cover without a chance to breathe, in my experience

Bruh i saw one last week in the city, boiracer was revving it at redlights. Also wtf did they do to that front end?

Ah the old new car swap eh?

Nah man those don't let moisture get out, so they end up fucking your paint and grow mildew. Always get a breathable cover and let the sun dry it.
You could always make a makeshift tent and park it in there.

What's the problem with that? I got my Mustang a a month ago and it's also V6 and automatic. I don't need to go fast because I'm not a race car driver and manual driving is too hard. I brought the Mustang for it's looks and because it turns heads where I live.

Because he watches fast and furious all the time but doesn't have the balls to buy something fast or furious (or working, apparently).

>it turns heads where I live.

yeah, everyone is wonderering who the trailer trash redneck is

I don't mean leave it on at all times. Just when it looks like it might rain

How to look after the leather of a luxury car?

At least we had falcons and commodores. They're really cheap for the power and performance you get from them.

Did someone buy all the clearance soylent today, faggot?

You do realize you just bought a literal bad car, to fund a company building and selling actual good cars, right? Except you just get called a fag instead of a hero.

A reliable shitbox will have plenty of cheap used transmissions to swap on

kill yourself, get off this site

Apart from the powdered metal oil pump (which is still reliable) it is essentially an all out race engine

It looks like a catfish now
