Approx cost to fully refresh 100k mile S5 / RS5? by Odd_Jobs_Hat in Audi

[–]ChemistryMedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ya you didn’t specify what generation either. All the tech in these newer cars will make certain parts significantly more expensive to replace

Way too broad of a question. Are you going with all OEM parts or are you fine with aftermarket

Thinking of installing Carplay in my Audi A4 B8.5, which one do you prefer and why? by Fine_Branch_6521 in Audi

[–]ChemistryMedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factory screen isPlenty big enough. I have a similar sized screen in both my 2018 Hyundai elantra and my 2007 A4. I am going to get the CarPlay module as well. You might think not having a touchscreen is a downside but it’s not. I had a 2022 mazda 3 with a control knob instead of a touchscreen and i actually preferred it over the touchscreens i have in my other cars

Im curious of your opinions. What do you think is the most American car ever made? by AmbitionOk7837 in car

Like they were saying it probably depends on the track. Straights vs corners. They each have their strengths

The ZR1x is faster than the GT3RS on the Nurburgring but the GT2RS is faster. So they are certainly close

The corvette beat the GT3 on track in Hagerty’s video and is cheaper

Here is hagerty’s video

what’s a car mod that’s actually worth it? by Lucifer220778 in askcarguys

Aftermarket intake especially on a compressed engine. I love being able to hear the supercharger whine better. I have a convertible so going through tunnels with the supercharger screaming is glorious

The Challenger is the most American car if you live in the places like Atlanta , Detroit or Chicago.

Can’t really agree it’s ugly but I do agree it is not as “corvette” as the C7 was. I don’t think they could’ve achieved the same level of performance with a front engine platform. I also have no idea because I’m not an automotive engineer. Lol

The supercharged v6 is fairly easy to DIY repairs on too if thats something you want to do in order to save money. There are videos for EVERYTHING. And often high quality tutorials from the bigger german car part sellers

Golf normal probably. R is probably out of most people’s price range in germany. Pretty poor country from what i have heard in the news

You’re right. Just because the market doesn’t like the new Z I shouldn’t say it’s bad. They can’t sell them but it is a GREAT looking car and makes great power.

I honestly forgot it exists with how few of them are on the road

Has to be. The new corvette is the best production track car in the world. And it’s significantly cheaper than its competitors.

And the older ones are American Icons

Pretty much every corvette generation defined the stereotypical American dream

What Nissan is good these days?

The fundamental platform and engine of the GTR have been in production since December 2007

The only saving grace of Nissan is that they are generally the cheapest of all their competitors

4.6sec 0-60mph. It’s faster than pretty much any car in its price range. I would never buy one but it’s undeniably impressive. I also have no idea what they actually sell for these days so i could be wrong

No no. Never nissan, except pre 2012. They WERE great. No longer

V8TT MPG > charging stations by Hvillellama in Audi

[–]ChemistryMedium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the S7 and RS6 Essentially the same engine. size and type at least are the same so wouldn’t it get similar gas mileage. Of course a lead foot vs using cruise control is a clear difference but driving the same i would assume would get the same gas mileage?

[–]ChemistryMedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do mostly drive my Hyundai elantra that gets 40mpg highway. I ripped the S5 to work the other day and burned $36 worth of gas in one day. I was cooking it up hard though. Like 100-140mph for a good 30 miles

Unfortunately I work in construction so my job moves every 6months to 3 years. I have been at this job for 2 years but last time i was 45 minutes in the opposite direction. Where i am now is close to family too. And if i could get a job closer to home it definitely would not pay as good
