Yes the interior is awful, however nothing about that car is fake. --- Post updated --- I don't, that's a hellishly powerful 430bhp V8 crammed into a car weighs 1375kg. That means that the power/tonne ratio is 313bhp/1 tonne. That's essentially a death trap.
Or by the impact of it smashing into a concrete pillar. No, The trim is probably from a special plant that only grows in the back garden of a 70s detached home, next to an old railway line in Kushiro. Polished so it burns your retinas. I don't know.
I need to go 115 again. It was so stable. No rattles, no shaking, no feelings on impending death from explosion. I need speed.
What do people think about vehicle noise-reduction in cities where you can get tickets for operating a vehicle with a noisy exhaust? My local city mayor is thinking of doing it, but I don't know if any other cities have done it before and if its effectiveness. It seems like a good idea to me, considering the large number of fart-cans that rip past my house at 2 a.m , but then again, Toronto doesn't have this yet.
Why do I feel like there is someday gonna be a headline saying "THE FAST AND THE BRAINLESS: AREA MAN KILLS PEDESTRIAN AT 115"?
There is a small town that has one of those noise policies. It works, but they sometimes pull over people with sports-like cars and ticket them for modified exhaust even if it isn't.
I'm not sure what to think of it really. I think a better solution would be to have noise restrictions on vehicles after 11pm, since I know well enough from living in a city that people seem to love driving the loudest possible vehicles at the most unsociable of times. There is plenty of data suggesting how unhealthy all the noise is, linking it to mental health conditions as well as the obvious physical ones, so reducing it is probably good, but with EV's noise levels are gonna go down anyway, at which point enthusiasts may no longer feel the need to make their car quite so loud (less ambient noise to compete with), and the noise wont be be regular, just every now and again. But I wouldn't be against night time noise restrictions. Since its a bit of a dick move to drive such loud cars through densely populated areas when people are trying to sleep.
Look dude, if its a nice long stretch in the absolute middle of nowhere, you can test your cars limits with moderation. But don't let the drive for speed get to your head and land yourself in jail.
So true. There’s a stretch of road near an airport around me, and it’s always totally empty. My car has a limiter up at 155mph. While going fast is awesome I can’t really justify doing it and sadly my one car is my one car, so I can’t really go tracking either. @ the noise discussion. There’s a stock McLaren 600-something that lives in my neighborhood and always drives back in around 2am. I can tell it’s in quiet mode, but it’s still loud. I’m somewhere between being mad about it and loving the McLaren.
He's from US, he must have seen. These cars have been here for the last three-five decades. And how does it feel to have a five decade old phone?
Well, he's a conspiracy theorist, that could be clouding. And when they die, it's usually rudt or mechanicals that get them. Well, my family has a bunch of old still-working electronics, like a 60s tape deck, a 60s portable radio, a 70s hi-fi radio, a 70s/80s cassette radio, alarm clock (both in use) or color TV.
Hardly. The only thing I'd end up eviscerating is a stray deer. There's too many of them anyway. It's absolutely a long stretch in the middle of nowhere. I'd never do anything like that with people around. I'm crazy yes, but stupid no. And anything faster than what it can do from the factory is kinda frightening to me anyway, considering the Mustang's less than state-of-the-art suspension geometry. I'd rather not have a live axle at the kinds of speeds the V8 cars are capable of doing. Of course I say that while looking at a supercharged F-150. A 3-link set up like in my car could handle the F-150's 340HP/425Lb-Ft a bit better than leaf springs.
This is the one thing that drives me nuts more than anything else as a driver. There's hardly a road around that you can be confident of not meeting a pedestrian or bicyclist at high speed over a crest or around a corner, and annoyingly there seem to be more of them at night, not always wearing reflective clothing either. You can make paths alongside the road, dirt or paved, close or distant, and it won't matter, there will be NMT on the shoulder anyway, either because they're trying to hitchhike or because they just don't care. There are probably a few roads you can be fairly confident will be deserted at night, but the one I live on is not one of them and frankly I'd be leery of the supposedly "safe" roads as well. On another note, one thing the Japanese really are masters of is taking a car apart, reworking the tiniest details, and still not making it much more powerful. 12K RPM redline and it still puts out... like 215 horsepower. Now granted that probably had something to do with racing regulations, but still, how do you increase your redline by 3,000 RPM and still only get about 35 extra horsepower?
