Thread 28579160

Would you rather have a car that looks fast and sounds fast and feels fast but isn't fast like a Mustang or a car that looks slow and feels slow but is actually fast like a Tesla

>>28579160 (OP)
the former, no point a car being fast if it doesn't actually feel fast.

The question would be harder if it was car that sounds and feels fast but looks slow vs car that is fast and looks fast but doesn't feel fast.

>>28579160 (OP)
i like a car that isn't fast, doesn't look fast, doesn't sound fast but feels fast

>>28579160 (OP)
I would like to have a car that looks slow, while being and feeling fast. Sleepers are goated.

>>28579160 (OP)
The Mustang is a convertible so you don't have to say anything besides "it's a vee eight".
I buy cars to enjoy them at every possible opportunity.

>>28579160 (OP)
I like a car that looks slow, sounds slow, feels slow, is slow, and feels sketchy when you try to go fast

Not a hard decision at all, only old people and effeminates would take the RC car.

>>28579214
What value is there in soul when you get smoked off the line by a senior citizen who wasn't even trying

>>28579223
Thats like saying, why would you watch the sport boxing when guns exist to just kill people instantly

Once a minimum level of "performance" is reached, the only time having more matters is if you're racing and trying to win.

>>28579223
I drive a car that does 0-60 in 8.x seconds.
I accelerate faster than everyone else, all the time, using less than 50% throttle.

TSLA easily. Its a much higher status symbol than Mustangs, which were ruined completely

>>28579393
That's funny. I was on a date last week and the girl was making fun of a guy who tried to show off his Tesla on a date. She was very impressed by my SRT 392. She's a dumb bougie bitch who thought it was a mustang but I nut in her twice so it's alright.

>>28579160 (OP)
I want a slow car that looks, sounds, and feels fast.
aka a miata or 86

>>28579160 (OP)
I want to have fun while driving, so in this case the mustang. Fortunately I don't have to choose with my QV, it's fast and it drives joyfully

I wouldn't mind a Tesla if it didn't have that God-awful iCuck tier interior.

>>28579604
But the giant screen, anon. The screeeen!

>>28579160 (OP)
Idk how anyone cares about horsepower numbers anymore honestly. 200 up you can keep up with any traffic, from there all that should matter is how the car makes you feel.

>>28579223
I genuinely find obsession with being the fastest intensely childish. I can only imagine a little fucking boy telling other kids to "wace me"

>>28579722
That's because you're low test and don't like competition.

Feels fast. Spirited driving should be fun, you're not out there trying to win championship points.

How did you get banned from your local tracks?

I’d rather a car that handles like an actual sports car

Nah.

>>28579160 (OP)
Feeling fast is better than being fast. Being fast means nothing to me, as the only determining factor is how much money you're willing to pour into it.

I love the sound of a lopey overlapped cam in a V8. Don't care if anyone thinks it 'sounds fast'.

In the end I prefer feeling, sounding, and being fast.

>>28579774
I got over trying to prove myself in meaningless ways like that in my early twenties.

to be fair, that turning stuff is also just 90% tires

>>28579819
If you like to go fast, you should also like competing and having fun doing it. The only reason you wouldn't is if you scared of competition.

>>28579853
Anon, just accept you're a soiboy pussy instead of pretending to be "above it all".

>>28579888

That's why I asked why he does not visit his local places where men usually compete.

>>28579160 (OP)
>feels slow but is actually fast
There's no point in a car being fast if it doesn't feel fast, and sound matters a lot. I'd rather have a 15 second car that feels riotously fast when I'm driving the twisties and sounds like a Zonda than a car that runs 9s silently and somehow "doesn't feel fast".

I hate mustangs though.

>>28579160 (OP)
When it comes to my personal car I would drive every day and spend time with

I'm not actually trying to win races, I just want to feel good

When does a car become fast enough? I think a sub 5 0-60 is good, anything faster than that is just a bonus but I also grew up when anything below 7 seconds was considered fast.

>>28579891
Men don't just compete on the track.

>>28579963
What can you possibly know about what men do? You fear to compete even on the track.

>>28579990

They aren't mutually exclusive, track and street. Let it go, you're a pussy. Some guys are.

>>28579888
>t. Insecure child

>>28579999
>They aren't mutually exclusive, track and street.
But for you they are, and you don't compete on the track for some reason.

>>28579160 (OP)
The mustang vert. Cruising with the top down hearing the burble is great. S197 gt package vert is something like $10k. Imagine getting a Miata over one LMAO.

(I know that's not pictured ackshully)

>>28579160 (OP)
You can make a Mustang faster.
You can't make a Tesla fun or engaging.

>>28580034
Whatever you say, pussy.
>>28580042
>But for you they are
Nope.

>>28579223
I drive for my enjoyment, not to prove something like an insecure nigger.

>>28579876
I'm impressed the vette can pull that quick and immediately corner on a rail like that

>>28579894
That angle makes it really look like a frog for some reason

>>28579876
What ended up being the problem with the Tesla? Did they have it in launch mode and attempting to turn made something freak out?

>>28579882
Also weighing way less, and the massive aero package. Literally comparing a purpose built race car to a stock luxury sedan

>>28580220
>boomer chariot with a few simple mods

Let's not get too crazy Anon.

>>28579855
I'd honestly pay 50k for this.

>>28579160 (OP)
The Tesla. I always feel guilty driving fast knowing I'm pissing away gas money. With an EV I'd be unstoppable I'm afraid. Then again I'd lose a lot more money with an EV because their resale value tanks. The average person in an average MPG car only spends 1k a year in gas. EVs lose like 8k in value each year...

You've never driven a tesla if you think they don't feel fast.
Would still choose the one with soul

>>28580094
> Cruising with the top down
Sounds great in theory
In reality theres 5 days a year in fall and spring where it isnt too hot, too cold, or too rainy

>>28580559

Not a problem unless you're stuck in traffic
>too cold
Not a problem whatsoever
>too rainy
Where do you live, in WA?

>>28579160 (OP)
Tbh feels fast, but slower than mustang

Because I live in a nanny state shit hole and go to jail if we drive fast, assuming we actually find the space to do it

Driving is about fun, not circuit times. That itself is a niche automotive hobby that's too expensive for most

>>28580559
Lol imagine only rolling your window down 5 days a year. What kind of bubble boy shit is that LMAO.

In reality modern HVAC will blow you out of the car in terms of heating and cooling. I can tell you don't drive verts.

>>28580220
No, slapping a big wing on a car doesn't make it "purpose built race car"

>>28580792
Brother, its lowered, on race tires, front splitter and a massive fuckoff wing. It's a built track car vs a 5000lb luxury sedan.

>>28581297
simple mods to achieve. onions tesla stans can't mod anything in their hairdryer on wheels.

>>28579160 (OP)
if you bring your shitsla to the strip i will rape you and your family for wasting my time

>>28582032
yeah you can do that after you eventually make it to the finish line

A slow car that fuel economy mogs you cutely. And as you probably tell from the motorcycle, I don't enjoy going fast in straight lines.

>>28579160 (OP)
Mustang. Tesla isn't really a car. It's an appliance.

>>28579160 (OP)
I drive a miata, what do you think? Some people think I'm speeding when Im just in low gear going below the speed limit while getting gapped by a soccer mom in her automatic i6 bmw suv.

For my purposes its an excellent car. If you're not spending time on a track then trying to be the fastest is just pointless.

love sleepers. and old luxobarges, not sleepers in the traditional sense, they have the aerodynamics of a house, yet still have enough power to keep accelerating past 130 mph while still being a living room inside

>>28579914
Most people don't know what fast is and just look up numbers. 5 seconds would demolish the typical car that people drive.

>>28579160 (OP)
Fast feeling car. I borrowed some guys pickup truck and it always felt 30% slower at the same speed as my normal sedan. Maybe it was the big wheels or that the back was slightly raised. It was nothing fancy, just a 4 cylinder Nissan pickup.

>>28581297
not that anon, but none of that is stuff that will stop a car from burning up after a couple of hot laps
unless it has an oil cooler, high flow radiator/fan set up, dry sump, beefy differential, steel brake lines, and specialized fluids, it's not 'track built'

>>28579914
>grew up when anything below 7 seconds was considered fast.
Not wrong. Beating six seconds to sixty is objectively performance, pushing the edges of what can be practically taken advantage of on regular road networks.

>>28585949
none of it really matters because most people accelerate like old people. unless of course you're trying to pass them, in which case they'd be DAMNED if someone BEATS them.

>>28585963
Fine, it's still clearly been modified to make it go around a track faster, giving it an advantage over the 5000lb luxury sedan

>>28579160 (OP)

That argument is used in stagnant industries

>>28579223
Are you saying teslas do this? I've seen tons of them they still merge at 35.
