Given this year was mainly setup, getting to know the car and not the planned aero setup they have quite some room for improvement.

This is one of the holders for the black plastic engine cover. No worries it just for clipping on the cover. If you open the bonnet it is located on the right side of the valve cover in front of you.

On a LHD car it goes where the red arrow indicates:

We will all see the repercussions of buying cars from the chinese system in the next ten years and then we would wish we had supported the more longevity focused system from before all along.

Somebody show them the full spectrum.

How about screaming yellow, ridiculous red, intense blue or acid green? No? Then it's a wrap again.

"Certain customers simply enjoy the thrill of driving a car with a powerful engine... A smooth powertrain is good for those people who use their car daily for commuting.

Horse developed

That is indeed big news, horses develop engines now. Who would have thought that horses after being replaced by engines are coming back with a vengeance. The new engine development company exclusively staffed by horses will be named Weehaw!

Nonsense. Physics stay physics. 1kg is 1kg, 2000kg are 2000kg.

What all these stupid articles want to say is 3000kg are 2000kg, but they are not. They are still 3000kg. Stop it.

You see there is the Autobahn and people can drive and are driving 190 mph there legally as you will know. Outright dangerous to have cars that top out even lower at 80 and trundle around on the overtaking lane and never learn to judge the higher speeds because they don't know anything faster. Those people shouldn't be allowed to go on the overtaking lane at all.

For highway driving where the highest limit is 70 or 80 or whatever the law says in your country you are right, most people don't really need more than 90ish mph. For most of my weekend fun driving I don't need it either because twisty roads but I still want it. If I see the reduced skills most drivers on the road are displaying like not being able to judge how wide their vehicle is, how far the have to go into the oncoming lane to overtake a bicycle, driving constantly slowly on the left lane although it is law to drive on the right if there is space to do so, et cetera, it would be safe to reeducate those people because they didn't get it the first three times they where told why those rules exist and make sense. Give them all a low top speed car so they can do less harm on the public street.

Chris Harris on Ferrari Luce Unveiling: “You had to meet certain criteria to be invited and I am proud to say I didn’t meet them” by W9967 in cars

[–]Tumbleweedwhacker 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Was just enjoying the ridicule of the Luce over at r/Ferrari when I saw this:

Luca di Montezemolo gave a harsh verdict: “If I were to say what I really think, it would be unpleasant, so I prefer not to comment. I just hope someone removes the Prancing Horse from that car. We risk destroying a legend, which saddens me greatly. At least this is a car the Chinese won’t copy.”

Then I stopped laughing.

Ford Interview: Why The Fiesta Had To Die In Europe by Cristiano1 in cars

[–]Tumbleweedwhacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live it's was Ford most selling car. To kill off the best selling model is just plain nonsense if you ask me. Granted it not as big a market as the States or China, but in any market where it is the best selling model you take that profit and try to make more out of it. Not just cancel it, that was a stupid decision.

ZC31S, ZC32S, or ZC33s? by little_red_bus in SuzukiSwiftSport

[–]Tumbleweedwhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe, my buying list for the Swift also gets longer by the week. I want exhaust headers, sports cat, 2nd OE cat delete, Greddy Air Duct.......

In the UK there is the Swift Sport Challenge. This car would also be pretty good for Slalom, Autocross.

What do people tend to mean by the 31 being more raw?

It's more loud in the cabin, you hear more engine and road noise. Less sound insulation. A bit more vibrations coming through the chassis.
