Some thoughts on performance

consider this video

and tell me whether it would have been better if the car had more horsepower ?

the answer is NO.

then consider the Moose Test:

which of course no car reviewers do because they are retards and make content for retards and doing something actually useful or meaningful would be off brand for them.

then consider this interview with Christian Von Koenigsegg:

something revealing he says during the interview is that Hypercars are built from the tires up. a new tire comes out and you build a car around it. that’s because tires are the ultimate limit - not power.

so when evaluating a car you should:

1 - ask what tires it comes with from the factory

yes you can put any tire on any car but a car is tuned for a particular tire that it comes with from the factory. putting supercar tires on a honda civic is like putting a giant spoiler or extra loud fart can on the same civic.

2 - ask what tire pressures are recommended for this car

as i previously explained the lower the tire pressure the higher the performance. F1 cars have lowest tire pressures and trucks and buses have the highest. pressures in a bus / truck tire are FOUR TIMES higher than in F1 car.

basically low tire pressure + short tire life span = high performance ( F1 tires last just 100 miles )

high tire pressure + long tire life = low performance ( semi truck tires last 100,000 miles )

to achieve low tire pressures you need wide tires and low car weight - basically any supercar meets this criteria

ultra low profile tires require higher pressure to avoid bottoming out on potholes and can come with a hit to performance as a result - these are mainly for style and not performance.

the new BMW M5 actually has fairly high tire side wall in the front because it is so nose heavy and with ultra low profile tires the pressure would be too high for acceptable performance. the downside of course is that with a smaller rim the brakes are now too small to slow down such a heavy car. this is why BMW doesn’t let anybody test that car on the race track - because it is too nose heavy to perform. it can only do straight line accelerations.

by contrast Mercedes WANTS you to test C63 on the track because it has perfect weight distribution with battery and electric motor in the rear - but nobody cares because people just want the sound of a V8.

decades ago i lost all respect for “Audiophiles” ( old, deaf Jews ) and since then i have likewise lost respect for car “enthusiasts” ( Niggers, Spics, Russians and Teenagers )

at the end of the day all an Audiophile understands is how much silver is used in the cables of a system and all a car enthusiast understands is how loud the exhaust is …

it’s sickening

by the way the Moose Test video i linked is 3 years old

since then the record has been beaten by Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

i am not surprised because as i said before Cayman has the engine in the right place, whereas 911 does not

the 911 is a classic car with modern tech

the Cayman is a modern supercar shrunken down to less than 500 hp to avoid encroaching on 911 territory

the Cayman really should be considered the proper entry level supercar with performance that can actually be used on the road …

the Supra is just a regular BMW without rear seats and Corvette has too much power for anything but pulls on long straights …

the reason i will personally NOT be getting a Cayman is because as Scotty Kilmer said they are a nightmare to service due to how hard it is to get to the engine where it is located … and when you combine this with the fact that Porsches already cost twice as much to service and maintain as even Mercedes you can see that the “value” of the Cayman no longer looks that great …

and here is a Toyota Camry smoking a bunch of cops:

imagine believing driving “Fun” comes from having an Italian Supercar with Manual Transmission and a loud V8

you can’t buy a sense of humor

all car reviewers should be lined up against the wall and shot

nobody has the right to tell you what you are supposed to enjoy, least of all car reviewers who are literally just retarded donkeys that only know how to gush over shit they think 12 year olds think is “fun”

when you buy a “fun” car you’re admitting you’re two steps below a 12 year old.

adolescent kids decide what is cool and fun, then car reviewers study that and tell you, and then you like a bitch ass slave go and buy what you were told.

Audiophiles are even worse

ultimately if you want to be popular and liked you will keep lowering yourself until you’re at a level of a child or a woman

or in case of Audiophiles on a level of old, deaf Jew
