[/quote]this is further proof that the era of manual transmissions are over. How sad

There was a dock about it actually. How mercedes was one of the first to really start doing away with manual transmission. Its like Iāve only driven sticks, I wish they still had the option between the two.
Mini is really big on manuals though.

Porsche still fighting the good fight, new Boxster is manual only.
So my city seems to have been taken over by supercars for the first time.
I saw an Aventador for the first time, beautiful piece of engineering and amazingly fast. Next I saw a 458, another stunner. Then I saw the Huracan, I was never too impressed by it when it was first revealed even less when I saw it up close, the thing is tiny! The Aventador has real presence on the road but if you werenāt eagled eyed you could miss a parked Huracan. Body widener is a must on that vehicle, it doesnāt have the aggression factor like the Aventador or even the Gallardo, itās actually quite a girly looking supercar.
MotorTrendās Roadkill featuring Dodgeās Hellcats and Viper SRT
They destroy these cars. Around 23 minutes there is a tug of war between the 3. Impressed that Dodge actually sponsored this.
I hate how new cards are looking like bulbous spaceships.
But I guess they have been trending that way since the RSX first came out.
Not feeling the new Civic, the front looked like it got a grill that got squashed, and the tail light that goes across the trunk I could do with out. Still keeping my 9nth gen until I either pull the trigger and sell it for an El Camino or going with the original plan of swapping out the suspension with coil overs that Iāve been letting collect dust/ecu reflash and after market wheels to crush cones at the autox. Need to decide at the moment to either reapply plastidip or pull the stuff off, pretty good stuff that it lasted through a couple winters before it started to peel.
I donāt like how the 8th gen Civic handles. Are the subsequent generations any different?
I think they changed the motor and possibly more. I know that the coil overs I have wonāt fit on the 8th gen models. The handling on mine is kind of heavy on the steering, possibly due to torque steer, but it kind of reminds me of riding bike, not to the feeling but how driver to vehicle inputs have a similar effect.
I have an 8th gen and my car handles very well. But maybe its just personal preference 
Itās only going to get worse. Because of increasing fuel regulation, cars are going to get rounder and rounder to take advantage of the superior aerodynamic properties of spheres. You can blame enviormentalists for this trend.
Also, my friend told me that obezzy wants to do horsepower caps before he leaves because he says car manufacturers are not focusing on mpg like they should.
Fuck that Nigga if true. But Iām not sure if this is a rumor that has merit or not. I wouldnāt put it past him, he passed stupid legislation where manufactures would have to effectively have an overall fleet milge of 50. And as cool as it is having fast cars with good mileage, the sacrifices that have to be made make it impossibly expensive for the consumer. Or they make an ugly as fuck car because true aerodynamics are bubbly and tend to be ugly.
Itās a fat car man. A really fucking fat car. Thats when all cars got fat as shit due to legislation being passed to make cars āsaferā. Itās a compromise I willingly accept because safety of that kind not only awesome, it works and Iām proof of that.
You can swap the rubber with polyeutherane, and then go with stiffer struts and springs, or get thicker sway bars if you want the car to be more neutral. Just remember making it really handle better will make it more uncomfortable as a daily. Going for a ācompromiseā like higher end cars do with āsportā mode is a waste of $$$ because they really donāt handle better than non sport mode. It just makes it feel like it handles better.
Thereās now way around weight to, and isnāt too significant at this level. The 7th gen civic handled like shit too, so weight isnāt that significant at any level you or I can realistically afford to drive at every day.
Funny thing that the huracan is the first car by Lamborghini that can actually handle. I would never buy a Lamborghini, and personally italian cars are trash, but the Germans really made something special with the huracan.
Yeh Iāve heard it a really fun car to drive. Looking forward to hearing what people have to say about the Aventador SV.
HNNNNNNNNG!!!
A few videos say that the 9nth gen felt very soft in the handling, and I do notice some under steer when I start to gun it around cloverleafs and swooping turns, but the weight of the 9nth probably contributes to it as well. If I donāt get rid of the coil overs and put them on, Iām going to see how much of a difference those are going to effect handling, and go from there.
Black Air, I think DJ Hyper Kid mentioned it. Itās still a good watch.
I donāt really understand how the Civic turns? My Accord it was as if the rear tires followed the front ones. On the Civic, it feels like it turns on the rear inside tire (so if I make a right, the car will pivot on the rear right). Whenever I make a corner in my Civic like itās my Accord, the rear inside tire will end up hitting the curb so instead I gotta come forward until the tail clears the turning point then I turn the steering wheel?
which gen?
My 7th gen accord would drive circles around the 8th gen civic. Remember, even though civics come standard with strut mcpherson set ups they make them understeer on purpose because thatās their consumer base. These cars donāt become the āOMG Japanese tuner turning monsterā unless you gut them, and make them spine shattering stiff.
he has a very good point that applies to every single Japanese commuter car. Honda does this on purpose, and has been doing so for as long as I can remember. In fact, all manufactures make their econo cars understeer like hell and under perform on purpose relative to the higher ālevelā cars.
Thatās a very interesting video.
