I just know it's a 455 big block V8

455 ~ 7.4 Liter

The Chevelles and Camino's had 454's back then and those were the biggest motors put in any muscle whip at the time

I'm 24 but I really want this

 

[jewelknows]

Yeah they both have very robust aftermarkets. I also leaned jeep because i live about 1 mile from the quadratec hq/main warehouse and close to extreme terrain as well, and i know some people working at both places so it is very convenient. **** i tried to get a job working saturdays or a few nights a week for the disco, but they only wanted full timers.

My buddy has a 4runner and loves the "party window", and i must admit it that it is a cool option for a truck like that. You will love whichever one you end up with, all 3 are great. There is an all black trd pro at my office and i eye it up everyday, i feel guilty but it really does look awesome and i know it can handle its business as well.

Haha that would of been awesome to work part time for the Disco.

Yea man I think I can’t go wrong either way. I just learned that these cars should be bought new. The resale is so insane that you just can’t get a good deal on the used market. It’s better to save and buy new when the time is right. Atleast where I’m at in Cali. Seems to be much easier to run 35s on a jeep than either of the Toyota’s though. But that’s a long term goal tbh.

What have you done to your JK?

I actually have a chance to get a 1st gen 4runner for essentially free from a coworker that just doesn’t have the time to get it to pass smog in Cali. I know a hot smog spot.

Yeah resale is great on them, thats the reason i bought it (plus i plan on keeping forever). I havent done much to mine since i bought it in May, just some minor cosmetic and interior things. Plan on putting 33s, and some combination of leveling kit (pucks or spring)/rubicon recon shocks and/or springs this spring. Havent made up my mind yet on the suspension. I also planning on adding recon/10a steel front/rear bumpers and the alpine stereo. Thats about all i really want to do to it at this point. 35s are a more long term plan for me as well, i plan on really building it once it is paid off and i am no longer relying on it as a DD. 35s are unreasonable for a DD, imo, even though i only do 8-10k/year.

2014 Audi R8 v10+ or new nsx. Thoughts?

 

[youngwolf]

Those new Camery look aggressive...

I had to double look at them.

I saw a white one last night and did the same thing.

.

Is this Billet Silver?

I swear, I'm yet to see a color not look good on this car.

 

[plansb]

youngwolf yeah its the Billet Silver Metallic, and i agree it is one of the better colors It is definitely much richer (?) than the silver on the older jeeps. I was between the billet silver and rhino, i am happy with my choice. My last two cars were black, so its nice having a silver one now that i dont have to wash constantly.

Thought about this myself. On paper, the NSX is a monster but I heard it's not that intriguing to drive compared to the competition. With the Audi, you get the amazing 5.2 V10. The interior is just a little dated by today's standards. My vote would go to the Audi.

 

[wear rare airs]

Went to get painted reflectors installed on my 5'er and check out the status of my friends TT project. It's going to be ready tuesday and i'll get a chance to drive it then, just waiting on the headers. Grand total of 910hp to the wheels on 91 octane. We'll see how it does on race gas by end of next week.

is this even a question fam we talkin a N/A V10 compared to some hybrid v6 computer boring zzz

Yea, I'm usually not a fan of silver, but it looks amazing on the Jeep. I think 23kidd has the same color as well. His looks damn good too.

Very serious question. It’s not just engine vs. engine. It’s old technology vs. new. Out of warranty German vs. brand new Honda. Known performance and reliability vs. unknown. Then there’s the price difference as well. There are some serious discounts available on the nsx right now which brings it just within grasp of my comfort zone price wise.

 

[waitwut]

if imma pay over 100k for something it wont be a honda papi or a v6

i wouldnt be surprised if it costs more to service that nsx with all that tech in it tbh

 

[plansb]

Ive never driven either but i think id pick the nsx.

NSX easy.

Whatsgood with that extremeterrain hookup tho

Cats in here are ballin

 

[Cars]

typerpinoy NSX. Haven't driven it but personal feelings are it's being looked over by people clinging to the past and just wanting the old one but "2017" instead of "199"

Road & Track did a couple of solid write ups about why they loved it a little while ago I believe

pm me

 

[Chopper]

New NSX does nothing for me, aesthetically.

I'd go with the R8.

 

[dirty]

Id choose neither. Id get a chassis i want and build it for a quarter to half the price.
Built> bought

Do you guys off-road?

Man that R8 bodystyle is so tired.

At least NSX still has some wow factor when you look at it.

But 2017 R8 >>>> NSX.

 

[plansb]

Do you guys off-road?

i go occasionally. Kind of limited to what i can do around here without going to the park which is like 2 hours away. Planning on moving out to az in a few years, so will definitely be getting more into it out there.

 

[Nawzlew]

Think a lot of the criticism from critics were because it wasn't a 1990s NSX V2.

Seen a lot of videos from guys like Matt Farah and they seem to love it.
