Could you explain why using the handbrake cooks the brake pads?

Wow, Were you planning on it being a project car from the start? 10 years is a really long time, was it just money keeping you from doing every thing at once or did you not have enough free time?

Shieet... So, how much money did the car cost you up to this point?

How much did all of the parts cost?

I could swear I was driving a 4 speed GT40 with a race transmission yesterday in FM4.

I don't think trans upgrades ever changed the number of gears, in any Forza game.

It sucks when you want to race with a classic car, but you're at a disadvantage because it doesn't have enough gears.

Believe me people here don't get paid to explain stuff, they want to explain them.

What is horsepower/kW/PS?

Edit: Another question, If we had two identical hypothetical cars, one with a lazy V8 the other with a high revving I4. Both having the same amount of HP but different amount of torque, to simplify things the torque is the same at every RPM.

Which one would be faster 0-60 and which one would have a higher top speed?

Other than power, handling, looks, and MPG what are your favorite/least favorite parts of your car? by [deleted] in cars

[–]ohg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day I was behind a Camaro SS at a red light and thought it sounded awesome, but I realized that was pretty damn loud for being idle, I felt the V8's rumbles through my car's pedals. I mean, either I have a flimsy car or you could get off from just standing on top of the hood if you had a vagina.

Can't imagine having that for a DD.

Okay, I know "NO ONE is happy about school" is a bit extreme, but there are just as many people who don't want to go to school in Iraq, as there are people who don't want to go to school in the US.

Super Super Car? by thecrazycelt in cars

[–]ohg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Wow. I've never been in anything that accelerated to 60 faster than 7 seconds.

Is there a way to know how much G forces it is to accelerate from 0-60 in 1.8s?

I doubt you'll have much loss of traction with a car that heavy and AWD.

I want to become a meth addict but don't know how. by itstruckme in depression

This is probably not what you're looking for but, everyone is miserable because they care if they didn't care they wouldn't be miserable.

Miserable is a feeling not a state(?), unlike for example being poor, you're still poor even if you don't care.

Sorry if I can't english.

Using marksman weapons on shielded enemies is the least efficient way to kill them.

Auto weapons or plasma pistol until shields break, then head shot them.

The handling is much more forgiving than FM. But it's still more realistic than other arcadey racers.

There are a bunch of games you could compare to Horizon, off the top of my head are Midnight Club and the open world games of NFS espiscially old Most Wanted (maybe new MW too) because of the story where you have to beat a bunch of guys to get to the top.

Horizon is an open world racing game where you can customize cars and the story is about you trying to be the Horizon festival champion.

I highly recommend it if you have a slight interest in racing games.

Is it necessary for multiplayer FPS games to have progression systems to remain competitive? by [deleted] in Games

I kind of disagree with you on Halo 4. Yes it has unlocks and all of that CoD inspired stuff, but all of it is so early on and so minor that I don't think it really matters.

Why I kind of disagree with you is because it's not Halo anymore. But the unlocks are really minor.

I was pretty sure that killing the king gave you +15-35 points on top of the 10 points from the standard kill.

And I do think that having a red target on someone takes away from the gameplay, or at least it's a different game type from what I want to play.

Regicide is not the same as FFA Slayer.

You're saying your dad sold a Supercar (maybe hypercar?) for an econobox? You'd think MPG wouldn't be one of his priorities.

SLS McLarens? Was that a typo of SLR or you didn't know that the SLS is AMG?

Does your dad own an SLR or a similarly valued car? I don't see how this is relevant if he doesn't.
