Why are america engines high on C.C and low on BHP

15 mpg = 6km/l
20 mpg = 8,45 km/l
22 mpg = 9,3 km/l
23 mpg = 9,7 km/l

1 gallon= 3.7854117 liter
1 mile = 1,6 km

cheers Animal

15 mpg = 6km/l = 16,7l/ 100 km = 6,7 gallon/ 100 miles
20 mpg = 8,45 km/l = 11,8l/ 100 km = 5 gallon/ 100 miles
22 mpg = 9,3 km/l = 10,8l/ 100 km = 4,5 gallon/ 100 miles
23 mpg = 9,7 km/l = 10,3l /100 km = 4,3 gallon/ 100 miles

ok no need to show off

It's important to use a calculator with these fuel prices

watty, do a little research and see how many kilos its possible to get out of that car..because i guarantee its not made for daily driving

By kilo's you mean fuel economy?

In which case i dont need to do any research, im a bit of a nerd when it comes to TVR. They claim it will do between 15 & 20 MPG (mile per gallon) Not sure what that is in Kilo's. Which is pretty good considering that the new Jaguar XJ will only give you 22 - 23 MPG, and thats a family car.

And yes its an everyday road going car... its not classed as a supercar its purely a sports car. Which incidently only cost £50,000.

no i meant how many miles that motor will last...people dont realize that american cars are meant for daily driving, do u think people buying the cars want a camaro with 400 horsepower stock? people would be dying every day...

actually brittain uses the imp. gallon at 4.545 litres.

and you yanks keep driving your shit and pretend it's shinola.

Honda Civic type R, no turbo 4 pots 197bhp and if you add a blower they can get 300 bhp and weight fuck all and like all jap and european cars can go round a bend over 30mph

I own one of these, except they refer to it as a Civic si over here. The car handles like its on rails but it lacks an awful lot in the torque category.

No you can Get the Si in Europe to, it below the Type R I think. the type R is a 1997 VTec a friend of mines got the new Si and I thought about a Type R but the gearstick in the middle of the dash put me off

I dont want to get this into an argument, but that really is talking shit. Any import i can name? Do I really have to go there?

Ill say straight away... Nissan Skyline, Lancer Evo, Scooby Impretza, any Lotus, any TVR, BMW M series, Audi RS class, god mate i could name half the car manufacturers in the world and they'll produce a model that would out corner an American car. (with one or two exceptions).

You bring one other to England, and see how you handle our roads, infact any road in Europe. And yes before ya say anything, ive driven several American cars. My ex's dad is an American car freak, and has owned a Trans-Am, Mercury Cougar, Camaro just to name 3. Try taking them down an English country road. its a no no.

ah man im sick of arguing with stupid people....honestly who gives a fuck if this car can outhandle this car? are u ever going to own a fucking evo or a skyline, better yet a gt40? lets face it...its not gonna happen, id radther have a car that could lick anything on the road in a straight line then 'outhandling' him while turning onto yet another road in which even if he did turn faster id be flying by him...

efficiency. and a mustang is looking for torque, not hp.

I could by one of those if I wanted, when I brought my Cupra I looked at Evo 8 and a Scooby, but as the Sub is only any good if your under 6ft 2' and I've had an Evo II I fancied something different. As for Skyliner who the fuck wants one of them, I tell you who arseholes that can't drive and need a computer to do it for them. If america cars are so shit hot at going round bends then why do they race oval tracks?

Lets face it most Americans never leave America or if they do they go to tourist areas where everyone is happy to see them and take there money. That's why Americans live in there own little bubble and really don't know what the rest of the world thinks about them, "IT'S AMERICA IS BEST" and that the end of story.

Example. America is best because it can go into space!

Truth=Space is cold, dark and shitty, you want cold, dark and shitty ask Watty what Wolverhampton is like in December

Example. America cars are the best in the world

Truth. Far east cars are best. there are better on fuel, last longer, and drive much better and members of America car club owners in Europe are Sad bloke in checked shirt from Grimsby called Colin.
