v | Agree. | 22:12:48 |
Viking | engine gaskets goes BRRRRR | 22:14:38 |
Viking | I take it you're not referring to the GR Corolla | 22:14:50 |
Viking | IDK when it's the most prevalent, I just know that the Subaru boxer engines are quite finicky much like a rotary | 22:16:00 |
Viking | yea, flat engines have a lot of extra complexity | 22:16:19 |
Viking | main advantage is how low they keep the center of gravity but in terms of smoothness boxers aren't close to the top | 22:16:49 |
Viking | the RX8 has a factory redline of like 9500RPM and some track monsters have been pushed up to 11000RPM and even close to 13000RPM | 22:17:18 |
Viking | they're fairly smooth but not perfect since the pistons are still offset a bit and they need to be balanced just like an i5 or V engines | 22:17:48 |
Viking | I'll rev my Opel Shitbox to 6500RPM XD | 22:18:11 |
Viking | I'm gonna go ahead and quote most people... COROLLA | 22:18:45 |
Viking | Camry Integra Civic Fit/Jazz | 22:19:18 |
Viking | so a hatchback | 22:19:43 |
Viking | you could also go the tiny route with a Yaris/Echo, VW Lupo or an old golf though the VW options are only a good idea in Europe | 22:20:13 |
Viking | there's also the Volvo option since any model pre 2010 is built like a tank and has a wide aftermarket | 22:20:33 |
Viking | yea, stance crew love subarus and VWs for some weird reason | 22:21:08 |
Viking | Volvo had a habit of overbuilding their cars to insane degrees in the past and they have a massive fanbase for track builds and sleeper builds | 22:21:50 |
Viking | one can always learn | 22:23:53 |
Viking | where did you live? I can never recall | 22:24:05 |
Viking | hmm, I'm thinking a Toyota Yaris or a Honda Fit could be go to options | 22:26:18 |
Viking | they're compact, fairly fuel economical, not very heavy and fast enough for day to day use | 22:26:26 |
Viking | even if it is, I'm not sure it's a great car especially if MPG is a concern | 22:26:33 |
Viking | just watch this https://youtu.be/6ee4GTguycA | 22:26:54 |
Viking | you're not completely wrong, small wheels are supreme | 22:28:00 |
Viking | kinda, people haul ass in them on track | 22:28:51 |
Viking | it's surprisingly fast | 22:28:55 |
Viking | yea, FWD | 22:29:44 |
Viking | if you think FWD is booring I suggest you watch some mini cooper racing | 22:29:58 |
Viking | welcome to enthusiasts of affordable cars they can convince their parents to buy | 22:30:36 |
Viking | FWD in cars like that used to be and in many parts of the world still is the standard | 22:30:52 |
Viking | good luck, they'll taint any and all fun cars or cars with any and all performance | 22:31:17 |
