wut he was saying when he got in the vette was aiiieeee!!! i cant drive a car with 505 hp through the rear i have no idea how 2 launch it! so the the mr will look just as fast and i will lose 2 the porche that the americans rip apart in america while driving this
All this talk below, did anyone notice that the Jap Crap didnt even make the final race? It was an American Car versus a (way more expensive) German car. I'd buy a Z06 and throw a supercharger on it and smoke just about everything for way cheaper than a Porsche. And the Jap crap; well, we saw them lose already.
@mattmenking u obvously missed the whole point i was trying to make. the nsx has the luxery of way way way more expensive cars than it. also its not about who won.. its a straight drag, hardly a test of performance.. do some research and stop being a naive 350 buff.. its out dated!!!!
american large vehicles kill ppl when they smash up foriegn cars, it the "economical" way of weeding out imports from the us, according to us car makers, and they do it with ur lives! its ok i got insurance to cover his death, and plus... ill b safe in this huge tank,,, its bs ppl ur lives at stake!!
honda simply, simple. to work on, to designed parts that are practical not outlandish. ever work on gm cars? does it take all the tools in the box to take the damn thing apart? mutiple diff sizes to take off one part, st and metric. its an abomination to the american ppl to sell such trash. its no wonder the honda nsx produces the most hp/ lb ft torque per liter than any production car made today.. do some research please. or r u just afraid of wut u willl find out?
BOTTOM LINE... if u build a car with more precision ansd accuracy, it will last longer, but throw together a car then drop in a motor and well, u get wut america has been puking up fo the last 50 yrs!! honda started in the 70's ford in the early 1900. so far honda has better resale value and holds together better than any domestic ever made. yeah theres some old cars out there, but dont forget they were restored!!
have u ever noticed after just 100,000 mi an american motor will start going bad one piece at a time? yes gm 350s well takin care of will last a few hundred k, but the body will be so shitty by then. ever heard of the lemon law, u buy a car its a bad one, so u get another instead?, japs dont have this problem b/c they do not allow any imperfections in the building proccess. it therefore weeds out the bad ones if any.
also the "american way" is to own a car for a few yrs and then trade it in for a new one. the us automakers wouldnt b making money if u bought a car and it lasted a lifetime. they want u to keep buying and keep buying. therefore they do not incorporate the same precision and engineering to make it last forever.
but they also have higher exacting tolerances, piston ring gap and other specifications are more precise in their engineering. also they start with a motor and build a car around it, not the other way around as do american motors.
the reason jap cars are so reliable can be traced back to the economy and the ways of thinking of the japanese. the idea behind jap cars is to find a car u like and can afford, and keep it forever. they take care of their vehicles. they cannot afford to just go get a new one every yr or so.
@jdrizzo21 Americans can't effort buying cars every year either. The problems is that there is too much credit so most of the cars you see in the US roads are owned by banks not citizens. This is the way it works here, banks own everything. From houses, to cars, to bikes and so on. People work over time so they can drive their new ford.
@mardan1974 i agree. the evil banks with their snaring credit! i just hope ppl do the research into how and why the diff. auto makers make their cars. but it sounds like u got a good head on ur shoulders, which is more than i can say for most of america! thanks for the comment! peace and safe driving!
Ping pong cars getting put in there place again. All you import guys must be gettin tired of gettin spanked all the time. European and American cars will always rule you bitches. That guy cant launch that vette for shit especially on the first race.
You know they would have thrown in the gt-R in this race if it was released when they filmed it. Would have been a much better contender than that evo. GTR vs Z06 vs 911 turbo, the flagship contenders from all around the world. God i love cars.
thank you. although the vette is the only american car i would drive, these people are upset that there cars are being beaten. but american engineering sucks. as seen here.
American engineering sucks? Why does my American engineered pick-up truck keep going mile after mile? Why do the products of American engineering keep working faithfully year after year? American engineered products are being purchased in this terrible time of recession and by consumers from all over the globe. American engineering cannot be any worse than other nations.
The internal-combustion engine is not very old. Even Japanese cars are using this technology, so all auto makers are using ancient technology, at least American technology has an attractive exterior package to go along with their reliability.
that's the only thing you know about engines in ameica?? that it's called an internal combustion engine??wow! that's too high tech for me to understand..idiot..have you ever heard of direct fuel injection,variable turbine geometry,double overhead camshaft, variable cam timing, active differential, yaw sensors, active suspension,????? I think NOT!! if you want to enrich your knolwdge about something called "cars:" go to germany or japan..
Internal combustion describes ALL engines that combust their fuel/air mixture internally, numbnuts. Yes I have heard of all of this bacause most of this engine technology has been around since WWII. Ancient technology is what you are describing as Hi-tech? You are the idiot!
you sir..apart from the fact that your are an idiot you are also a retard..i know what the internal combustion engine is..i have to inform you that i'am a third year student at the automotive engineering cousre of the university of manchester. and to give you some helpfull information about cars (beacause judging by your reply you don't have a clue about cars)..all those tecnologies i mentioned earlier have been developed no more than 20 years ago..
i don't know if you've noticed but NONE of the cars made in the usa even uses one of those tecnologies..if you know any american car that incorporates any of which i reffered to earlier give me the name of it..i dare you!
Flattery will get you nowhere with me sir. I can tell you are a third year student, probably at an elementary school, because apparently you have never heard of WWII. Only one word describes you; DUMBASS!
when if i am a dumbass and you are a bright mind why didn't you give me an answer to what i asked you?? maybe because you cannot keep up arguing about cars against an automotive engineer?? idon't know if you can read but notice the words "active" and "variable" and "yaw"..they are key elements on understanding how miserable your knowledge about cars is..oh and i am still expecting an example of an american car that incorporates such advanced technologies...
DI, VTG,DOHC and VCT have been used on diesel engines for years now. Don't forget VVT(variable valve timing). I was trained to work on certain parts of an automobile over 23years ago. I know and understand what technologies you speak of. There are several Japanese cars that I liked well enough to purchase,Mazda RX7 and Acura NSX. I build engines as a hobby and I like American V-8s,V-6s and Inline sixes,now these engines are marvels of engineering. I like all makes and types of engines.
i do too..but the type of engines or cars in general that i like the most are the ones with ultra high tech..and i am sorry to inform you that none of the modern american cars incorporates such technologies..i love the zr-1 and the camaro's looks though..
American cars may not incorporate the technologies you mentioned. But you did mention the ZR1 which uses a pushrod V-8 and a supercharger which means it will go around the track all day long while the more expensive and more sophisticated cars are in the pits.
if the expensive and sophisticated cars you are talking about are ferraris and lamborghinis then yes..you are right..but not if we are talking about the nissan gtr ot the lexus lf-a..don't forget the reliability of japanese cars...
Yes I do know that Japanese cars are reliable. I had a 1978 Dodge Aspen that had a 225 Slant Six. This car had 190,000 miles on the odometer when a drunk crashed into it. Just one example of reliability. It was simple and reliable. I could do all maintenance to this engine just by leaning over the fenders. I had to go under the car to do one thing and that was to drain the oil. It is common to see 200,000 to 300,000 miles. Several made it to 400,000 miles. These engines were rebuildable.
American cars may not have the latest hi-tech gear but they are reliable, affordable and economical. I have owned American cars for more than 25years. Many Japanese brands build their cars in America using American-made components because the quality is so good. Mazda vehicles are built along Ford vehicles in Ford plants. Japanese brands buy American components for sale in Japanese branded vehicles. America does the same with Japanese components. Brittain still makes the Rover V-8=1960's GM V-8.
Economy of a vehicle is up to the individual driver of that vehicle. Plus alternative fuels are available. I have seen big V-8 engines mated to overdrive transmissions that can get 28mpg to 30mpg. A big engine will use less energy to do the same work as say a 4 cylinder. The need for less energy decreases the need for fuel. An 800HP V8 mated to a 6-speed OD trans will use less energy to move the vehicle than a 150HP V-6 mated to the same 6-speed OD trans, and less fuel consumption.
it really depends on the driving of each person but when your engine has the latest technology of turbocharging and direct fuel injection it will certainly be more economical..
I can honestly say that fuel injection has it's advantages but from my experience a properly calibrated carburetor can acheive very similar fuel economy. I would use fuel injection with a turbo, carburetor with supercharger. A carburetor can be just as economical, contrary to what many think.
Direct injection in a gasoline engine does not produce substantially better fuel economy than port injection. Fuel injection, direct or port, does not improve fuel economy substantially better than a carburetor. No signifigant proof has ever been shown to me that fuel injection is that much better. The carburetor has been upgraded through the years and can acheive great economy.
@TheSteamLocomotive then why arent all civics running v8s with ridiculously geared transmissions? bc v8s use more fuel. they use less energy? they have x2 as many cylinders
uhhh no crap the 911 wins? it has a smaller engine with a turbo, obviously it's launch is going to be much much quicker. increase the length of the track and you'll see what happens to that porsche.
You sound stupid too.. Let's add boost controller and basic mods on a turbo NSX or Vette and see what happen?? N/A vs turbo is not really that fair. 911 without turbo can't really beat NSX or vette
Maybe you don't know a GT3 (N/A engine...) is as fast as a Turbo on a 1/4 mile but is faster on a 100Km/h to 200Km/h than a Turbo...so it will beat a NSX and even a Z06 with its shitty gearbox!
Your "hot wheels" GT3 you wanted to say???? don't make me laugh, you're a 22 yo liar and yes, a GT3 is faster from 100 to 200Km/h than a turbo, too much weight...
Lol? It's AWD of course it'll do have decent in a drag from a dig... but the vette took it quick and the guy didn't have that great of a launch in the vette no tire spin at all.
say what you want about jap cars and the evo, but if i could buy a 4 door with 405 bhp, 4wd, a top speed of 180+ mph and all for under 40,000 gbp i'd take it over any car.
they are prob two of the best drivers from japan. i couldn't see anything wrong with the starts. i will say in the z06 the boy and have some problem with getting second gear. i have heard there ain't much room in the z06 when changing gear, that could be it.
yeah they are faster from a dig. were are you getting your info. it depends on the tires..all ls1 need is tires and it can beat that thing you call a sports car
Boring boring comments about the vette!!! The other three cars are all wheel drive (good launchers) So with the rear wheel drive only wheel spin occurs!!! SIMPLE but good drive by the evo anyways
lol, you're a joke. go finish serving my fries before you burn them. bet u work everyday till 1am at the drive through just so you can buy the b18 swap for ur eg lol. fag!
ohh god, shut the fuck up karmahunden, go find something better to do than talk shit to people on the tube u fucken lowlife, 10 bucks says u dont even have a job, go suck a dick!!!!
well ion the freeway the z06 does actualy have a chance to beat the 911 turbo, from a high mph roll no doubt! because the gears and the power the z06 makes with its dry sump oil system! no turbo lag wat so ever LOL and its crazy 7000RPM ripping throu the gears! but the 997 turbo is what i would get anyday! so remember from dead stop porsche will win all the time from roll the z06!

American cars may not have the latest hi-tech gear but they are reliable, affordable and economical. I have owned American cars for more than 25years. Many Japanese brands build their cars in America using American-made components because the quality is so good. Mazda vehicles are built along Ford vehicles in Ford plants. Japanese brands buy American components for sale in Japanese branded vehicles. America does the same with Japanese components. Brittain still makes the Rover V-8=1960's GM V-8.

as for affortable and reliable i tottaly agree..but in terms of economy....
leoapoelellas 2 years ago
Economy of a vehicle is up to the individual driver of that vehicle. Plus alternative fuels are available. I have seen big V-8 engines mated to overdrive transmissions that can get 28mpg to 30mpg. A big engine will use less energy to do the same work as say a 4 cylinder. The need for less energy decreases the need for fuel. An 800HP V8 mated to a 6-speed OD trans will use less energy to move the vehicle than a 150HP V-6 mated to the same 6-speed OD trans, and less fuel consumption.
TheSteamLocomotive 2 years ago
it really depends on the driving of each person but when your engine has the latest technology of turbocharging and direct fuel injection it will certainly be more economical..
leoapoelellas 2 years ago
I can honestly say that fuel injection has it's advantages but from my experience a properly calibrated carburetor can acheive very similar fuel economy. I would use fuel injection with a turbo, carburetor with supercharger. A carburetor can be just as economical, contrary to what many think.
TheSteamLocomotive 2 years ago
no it's not..believe me..that's what i've been studying so far..
leoapoelellas 2 years ago
Direct injection in a gasoline engine does not produce substantially better fuel economy than port injection. Fuel injection, direct or port, does not improve fuel economy substantially better than a carburetor. No signifigant proof has ever been shown to me that fuel injection is that much better. The carburetor has been upgraded through the years and can acheive great economy.

@TheSteamLocomotive then why arent all civics running v8s with ridiculously geared transmissions? bc v8s use more fuel. they use less energy? they have x2 as many cylinders

uhhh no crap the 911 wins? it has a smaller engine with a turbo, obviously it's launch is going to be much much quicker. increase the length of the track and you'll see what happens to that porsche.

You sound stupid too.. Let's add boost controller and basic mods on a turbo NSX or Vette and see what happen?? N/A vs turbo is not really that fair. 911 without turbo can't really beat NSX or vette
LexuslS350 2 years ago
NO i dont, these cars are stock. A turbo vette or nsx is faster then a stock 911 turbo. HAPPY lol Now lest do a turbo upgrade on a 911 turbo
dsmsucks 2 years ago
Maybe you don't know a GT3 (N/A engine...) is as fast as a Turbo on a 1/4 mile but is faster on a 100Km/h to 200Km/h than a Turbo...so it will beat a NSX and even a Z06 with its shitty gearbox!
Kheops63 2 years ago
Check the specs before you talk. My 2007 GT3 got 415hp 0-60 in 4.1secs and i cannot beat a 2007 911 turbo. 911 Turbo is a lot faster than a GT3..
2010 GT3 got 435hp 0-60 in 4.0 secs
2007 911 turbo got 480hp 0-60 in 3.7secs
LexuslS350 2 years ago
Your "hot wheels" GT3 you wanted to say???? don't make me laugh, you're a 22 yo liar and yes, a GT3 is faster from 100 to 200Km/h than a turbo, too much weight...
Kheops63 2 years ago
Are u kidding me? If i m 22 i can't have a GT3??
okay, my dad has it, i don't own it, but i own an IS350. Anyways, it's just hard to believe a GT3 is faster from 100-200. Are there prove?
I just asked my dad, he said 911 turbo 0-100mph in 7.8secs, GT3 in 8.2secs

It is easy because the Gearbox is a shitty one, a shame with such an engine but you got what you pay for
Kheops63 2 years ago
Hmm, Id have to say I prefer the NSX, even though its the slowest of the bunch.
You can always do more to up the Hp/Tq, but having a rigid race-spirited Mid-engine/RWD platform like the NSX...
...well thats the dream of every tuner.
The 911 is nice in that regard too tho...
Now if I was more into drag racing, Id take the Vette, which, with a few mods, probably could get the best 1/4 times of all of these.
Theres my $0.02

These guys seem to have a really hard time getting decent starts with high power rear-wheel drive cars.
However, since they only try each race once, there isn't a chance for them to learn how to best launch the car.
They need to have several trials to learn how to launch and get an accurate time.
1973MaseratiBora 3 years ago
they are prob two of the best drivers from japan. i couldn't see anything wrong with the starts. i will say in the z06 the boy and have some problem with getting second gear. i have heard there ain't much room in the z06 when changing gear, that could be it.

opsulb22 3 years ago
Sure, there is more power loss in a 4WD car, but this is from a dig. 4WD is the way to go most cars.
Evos are fast, but sure, corvettes are faster. Just not all the way from a dig.

yeah they are faster from a dig. were are you getting your info. it depends on the tires..all ls1 need is tires and it can beat that thing you call a sports car

well ion the freeway the z06 does actualy have a chance to beat the 911 turbo, from a high mph roll no doubt! because the gears and the power the z06 makes with its dry sump oil system! no turbo lag wat so ever LOL and its crazy 7000RPM ripping throu the gears! but the 997 turbo is what i would get anyday! so remember from dead stop porsche will win all the time from roll the z06!
