Not unless you have a ridiculously slow start, as in no bottom end power, no traction, etc., but insane power once it finally gets going. That's why I made the ".999 lift and 180* LSA cam" joke. You totally ruined my joke, you joke ruining bastard! BTW, I live 4 miles from a track. It's where I get drunk at!

Drive in San Francisco, you will understand. I don't really understand why you think 18s+ 0-60 is a safe amount of power to put in a car. If it takes you 30 seconds to get up to 60, you're a danger to other drivers and are thus a hazard on the road. This is why you can get a ticket for driving too slow on the freeway.

You live in Illinois, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's pretty flat there and there aren't a whole lot of people, correct?

A good amount of your post is self-inflating bs, you're talking out your ass about your specific part of the country, and assuming that what is true for you applies to everyone. It doesn't.

I drove a brand new 2008 Aveo at a GM Test Drive in motion, it's a piece of shit.
Fit, finish, handling, power, comfort, everything on it was crappy.
Why did you bring that and other slow ass shitty cars up?
I know there are alot of cars slower than 0-60 in 16sec.


And the reason cars are getting more power and heavier is
1. It sells
2. There's more safety/luxury shit in cars so the cars get heavier and need more power to move
3. Big fat american ****s like being tricked into a false sense of comfort/power, which is mostly thanks to marketing
4.Some people drive in places where it's not safe(to you or other drivers) to drive 50mph on a freeway, or you have to accelerate faster than a shitbox you mentioned.

I think we're all extremely aware of that, hence the jokes.
That is hilarious about the metro, 24s @ 70mph sounds like someone doing driver's training

i once had a 81 toyota tercel hatchback. like a .7 cylinder motor..it wouldnt even make it to 60.

high 15s is what I would consider a SAFE rate of acceleration, anything slower than mid 16s I think isn't enough power to safely drive around.

i have actually found this guy on our competing site.

lol 0-60 times have absolutely nothing to do with what speed you drive on the interstate the metro going 70 is still going the same speed as a Cadillac going 70... you only need about 10 hp to stay at a constant speed (granted theres no major wind)

a cop wont give you a ticket the second you merge onto the interstate and not going the same speed....

why do you think there's these things called MERGE LANES on interstates to let traffic pick up speed then merge (least in theory, retards dont get that concept of speed up then join traffic not merge then speed up)

most merge lanes yea theres a "s" twist in it but can usualyl take them at 45mph, so then u have a straightaway to at least get up to 60-65 then merge (limit around me and neighboring states is 65-70)

most people who have slow accelerating cars know their not going to be able to pull out in a said gap in traffic so they wait till a larger gap appears.

lol CHICAGO and IL side of ST LOUIS ring a bell? yea its pretty flat a few hills near rivers but yes majority is flat.

that may be but majority of the US is like my area besides mountain ranges. not everyone lives in the handful of biggest citys in the US. even then if your driving thru them you barely get past 35 mph if not on a highway or interstate.

I drive around peoria on a daily basis and its got 183,000+ ppl. have never had an issue with driving around even in rush hour. (most of the time sitting at a red light...)

i never said it was good and what did you expect from an economy car...just pointing out the fact that yes theres slow cars being produced today and i was comparing it to my chevette as its essentially the modern day version just newer...(its basemodel has more options than the chevette high end model tho)

1: because were getting more impatient and lazier every day
2: buncha useless crap nowadays but yes it its true
3: agree with you on that one, main reason why the 100lb chick is driving the 3 ton tahoe with one kid.
4: once again once your going it doesnt matter what engine you have. if you drive smart and stay in the right lanes and be near other cars going the same speeds then theres no problems. only time there's problems when the idiot in the BMW cuts accross 3 lanes to pass doing 90.

Thanks for update on the obvious.

You entirely missed the point, and I now think you don't have the mental capacity to understand something that is DIFFERENT that what you have experienced in your life, you have not said you have ever been here, have any real idea of what I'm talking about or have even considered there might be something you don't know about.

Something as simple as 'well there's alot of room on the merging lanes here' is idiotic, because you have not been here to see something different(like short merging lanes?!?!?! NO!!!), and are displaying the inability to realize that.

Half of your post doesn't really have to do with anything and is mindless dribble of obvious facts.
I can see it's not worth continuing because an actual discussion about power in cars with someone has the inability to consider ideas separate from their own is not going to work. I'm not going to waste me time trying to cure your thick-headedness.

Two fully functional toilets for anyone who wants them. I am remodeling the house I just bought and I'm bringing in new toilets. These two toilets do work - I tested them before I took them out. First come first serve.

Thanks
