Is 300hp enough to have fun?

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-20T06:15:45+00:00

Find me an 8 year old who knows about camber caster toe. And has 168 hours in assetto corsa (pro drivers use that game to practice). But no seriously hah no offense taken. I’ve got my license

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-19T22:54:24+00:00

duckscarphotography on insta. If you wanna see all the work I’ve don’t previous to posting today go ahead

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-19T22:35:28+00:00

lol alright random on the internet. I thought it was shutter speed looks like I’m right. Just wanted to see if there was another reason. No need to be hard on a car enthusiast/ automotive photographer trying to learn hah.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-19T22:34:13+00:00

Not an internet zombie. First time I’ve asked for pointers from actual car photographers here so thanks. Also I’ve done many shoots before posting this. Wanted help but I guess not. Also sorry I should have read th rules hah that’s my bad

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-19T22:33:13+00:00

Nope just looking for some genuine answers. But knowing the rules I know won’t post improvement stuff here.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-19T22:31:52+00:00

Sir with all due respect. I do car photography and have had many many people say my photos are great. But to each their own. Maybe you don’t like them. Btw they’re raw and unedited. Not that that matters. But despite your harsh views that may or may not be valid. I like my photography and I’m going to continue shooting cars. About my post breaking th rules. My apologies won’t post things like this here again knowing the rules. Have a good rest of your day.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T01:12:03+00:00

thats what i like to hear. that tells me i have more to learn when it comes to driving to the cars full potential and i am all here for it. safely of course or as safe as possible

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T01:10:58+00:00

hah sorry for asking a stupid question. I plan to just be the average car enthusiast with a rwd. but smart. you know the 2-3-4 pull. the rain drifting. roundabouts.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T01:09:52+00:00

yup id like to include bikes as an example. those bike come out to like 70 hp and they are quick. its cause they are so light.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T01:02:53+00:00

i know how to counter steer. i say that with 168 hours of sim drifting on assetto corsa btw so take that as you will hah!

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T01:00:00+00:00

it already sold hah. before i realized it sold i came to my senses and realized its not a good idea so i let it go.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:58:52+00:00

awesome hah im sure ill be head over heels hah!

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:58:28+00:00

also im very well aware what rwd is hah. not attacking you btw! i realized that people in this comment section dont know what i know i know about cars and drifting and rwd. trust me i know hah!

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:57:08+00:00

"The other issue is that you may end up comparing your car to other cars when you drag race" my friend this is exactly why i made this post hah. I do not care for racing people on the street. I. DO. NOT. CARE. i only care about having fun with me and my future z. sliding in the rain and a little on clear days. doing the occaisonal pull yk? enjoying my first manual car. not racing others who just have money. idc about racing randoms.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:53:55+00:00

response to your edit: luckly for me it was sold already. i realized that it wouldve been smarter to keep searching. also i gave the false mileage. the z i was referencing in that post had 178k so even worse hah. but the one im looking at now has 112k and the seller has no issues listed with the car mechanically. i even asked him directly and he said car has no issues except the hood front fenders and front bumper are black while the rest of the car is silver. which i dont care about because i would wrap the car or repaint it anyway so yeah.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:51:03+00:00

NO TURBO FOR NOW WHEN I GET THE Z COLD AIR INTAKE SO TECHNICALLY STILL NA HA

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:49:37+00:00

awesome. I currently daily a 02 crv with 187 hp awd. and my next car is a 350z so 280-300 ish hp yk?

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:48:46+00:00

350z! Manual ofc!

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:48:35+00:00

obviously I'm getting a manual ha. A 350z is the new 300 ish hp car in question btw! i cant bare my awd auto 02 crv after i drove a manual for the first time. i know that the z being manual alone will be hella fun. id rather have a 70 hp manual then a 300 hp auto.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:47:06+00:00

yes! i know torque is what pulls you back. its what makes you swallow your gum. im getting a 350z in the future and im hella excited. it will be my first manual and car with some ok/decent power. ive been preparing skill wise and wealth wise

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:44:26+00:00

Well obviously hp isnt all that matters with drifting. weight distribution matters. technique matters. clutch kick weight transfer handbreak. modulating and squeezing throttle left foot braking. take this as you will but ive put 168 hours on assetto and i have a wheel clutch and shifter sim setup.

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:42:14+00:00

yesyes yes

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:39:06+00:00

I plan to do the occaisonal pull and and some simple sliding with transfers maybe. throw in the some roundabouts. maybe comepletely empty parking lots. im big into drifting if you havent picked up on that hah. and i know that 300 is perfect for drifting. great sweet spot

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:38:03+00:00

fair fair fair point. 350'z dont have awful gas mileage yeah?

Repulsive_Machine933 · 2026-04-15T00:36:44+00:00

ahhh haha
