While a point to be argued in regards to street performance, do keep in mind it's not front wheel drive - nothing more ret4rted than FD ricers with wings.Quote:

Not a stock photo.
That's my CARDIS. Notice the Dalek hanging from the Rear View and my old base tag on my windshield. xD
It's called downforce. Stick to your NASCAR lol. Btw what do you drive?Quote:

Ok, so look at the spoiler on that race car and then look at a spoiler on a fast and furious wanna be. One of the two is not the same. And FYI, I dont even like nascar, its super boring.
It all depends on the aerodynamics of the car the spoiler is on. Some have different wind runoff than others and needs a different height.Quote:

It will certainly not be as noticeable as for instance having a top down on a convertible.
Nascars do have a wing, but not a hollow one with undercurrent.
Ok, when I say giant wings do nothing I am talking about daily driver, wanna be fast and furious cars, that is all.

Oh and intense, I drive a segway. What do you care anyway?
OMFG! *falls out of chair laughing* A winged saturn? Now THAT'S funny. A souped Celica or Mistubushi GT or EVO sure. A saturn? HAHAHA!Quote:

Because you come in this thread talking down to everyone, just wondering what a troll eating a struggle sandwich drives to his job at the local fast food chain everyday.Quote:

Heh, still dodging the question eh? :). You've been exposed. While you're frantically searching the internet for pics you can post as your own to save face ill be laughing at your sorry *****.Quote:

Anyways, yes continue posting neat pictures of your cars and maybe give the developers some ideas of what to include in the future.
Lol lying to strangers on the Internet because you got called out. Pathetic.Quote:

The main thing of course is the performance part of 'performance car' :)Quote:

I still stand by my statements that Mopars are trash and giant wings are lame. Call me out more.
My car beats everything!

Again you are talking about something you know nothing about. Sequential twins eliminates lag. Now when you start upgrading to bigger single turbos or larger twins you will get lag. But that's a realm you will never enter.Quote:

You are such a tool, sure the lag is reduced but you can never totally eliminate the lag unless maybe you powered your turbo with a electric motor and not the exhaust gasses. I also have no desire to ever enter your stupid realm. Cars are the worst investment ever and I have no desire to throw hanfulls of cash in the trash so I can go fast when the light turns green.
Virtually eliminates - not entirely though. You are correct in that non sequential and single turbos can result in noticeable lag.Quote:

Sigh, so a car with turbos has 0 horsepower? That the logic you are presenting. With the horsepower the engine has it can get the car moving to spin the turbos. The stock twins are not that big and spin up quickly. Do you know what the word sequential means? With the air moving its plenty to get the first turbo boosting and providing power.Quote:

Oh man, this thread .... full of people that actually know very little about engines, or it seems cars for that matter. But opinions are what counts ..........................
Well driving my wife's stock sequential twins Supra has 0 lag. Power on the get go. Now compared to my upgraded single supra is a whole different story. My old S4 which was not sequential twins had lag.
Good for you! Hey, when I'm retired and you are 70 and still flipping burgers at least you can go fast!

Lol flipping burgers says the guy who rides a bus to work. What's really going to make you rage is that I am willing to bet I will retire very comfortably before you. Keep eating that struggle sandwich troll.Quote:
