You did a great job in this video. Maybe get some "Karen's" of the car world on camera to show proof to some of your claims. I'm sure there's plenty out there.
I love driving fast but weaving through traffic is insane and it pisses me off when people do it. Putting other people in danger who didn’t sign up for that just so you can have a few minutes of fun is beyond stupid.
Yep. Luck always runs out given enough time. If someone has their nose in their texting and doesn't see them, or an unfortunate pothole on the dotted line catches them just right, etc... It just takes one thing to go perfectly wrong that one time.
In St.Louis people try to run you off the road and freaking weave a basket out there on the highway racing someone that was never racing them to begin with!!! Lol Dummy following a dummy!!!
As soon as I drove my 2022 86 off the lot I noticed almost everyone now riding my tail. Just because I have a sports car doesn't mean I want to drive 20 miles over the speed limit everyday.
Yeah as soon as I put an exhaust on my 435i every Honda boi was riding my ass and pulling up next to me on the highway trying to race through traffic. I like to just laugh at them.
@@LibertyDrives really seems like it! And I’m glad. He also has inspired me. Well in a way. I want to make videos like him. Or you and him. And his brother.
One of my old college classmates (he was 17 years old) claimed to have a 9000whp RS6 Avant in the garage...street legal he said but he couldnt bring it to college because he had the engine apart. The whole class laughed at him as we were all studying to be mechanics.
Need For Speed fam sometimes 5 second street races aint gon cut it , this is why exotic cars are heavvily disrespect it. if u make it out respect if u crash , then you'll just pay the consequences.
When you have a pretty quick car and drive normal and every other person decides to tailgate and try to race even though you are not it is funny just because they have loud exhaust does not mean your car is fast
Just find a car you enjoy driving and appreciate it. You don't have to endanger others. Or yourself. And life would be boring without having a choice. Good on the big 3 for doing muscle cars.
Another thing, when someone says all cars from a brand are bad or to never buy from this brand, I just don't buy it. I seen videos titled "why Ranges Rivers are crap" or "why all Jeeps are crap" and I just find it incredibly hard to believe that a company still going around today never made a good car.
At first I thought you meant you "just don't buy it" as in the car😂 I see what you mean though, people really just do it for clicks, especially when they know it's a popular brand or car
Nah most people dont understand the difference between a functional car and a good car. And those same people claiming theyre good cars are just not aware how bad it is. Jeep owners ESPECIALLY. The amount of retards in my area with lifted wranglers with lightbars and a body kit revving out that little v6 on the way to the accounting offices is just ridiculous. They never leave the road and when they do its because they wrecked it😂
Some people failed to even do basic maintenance on their car and whenever part goes out due to neglect and cost them big time they always lash out on the brand itself. Person A: "Man, Mazda is a unreliable brand, never buy any crap from them! I had a Mazda2 for 3 years before the engine went out at 105K miles." Person B: "That's strange since most Mazdas including the 2 are just a reliable as a civic or a corolla, have you ever got it taken to a local mechanic to see what was the problem is before or just ignore the warnings before it gave out on you?" Person A: "I did, they said the engine oil was sludge up so much that the engine components grinded itself away! It always had oil in it when I checked it!" Person B: "Right, so you're saying that you didn't change out your engine oil for 3 years because you didn't need too? You do know that engine oil needs to be changed out in 3 to 6 months on average right? And it's way cheaper than a engine replacement by far." Either the person A will gets quite or say something that goes... "Changing out engine oil are a scam anyways." "But I didn't need to change out the engine oil since I add it more when it gets low." "I'm too poor for getting an oil change for my car. *While paying for the latest iPhone and phone bill that's over $90 a month*" Person B: "Well I found the problem and I just solved it! You're a fucking idiot. Stick with a bikecyle next time."
Scotty Kilmer in a nutshell. I have a Chrysler and he says “Chrysler products break down on the side of the road within a week, only stupid people buy them”. Jokes on him, as it is still going strong after 4 years and 160k miles. Take care of your car and it’ll last
@Austin Batton it don’t matter if you’re a good driver all it takes is one person to cut you off and boom your life’s screwed but hey if you want to continue being an idiot be my guest natural selection am I right
Took the words right out of my mouth. People are always so quick to say "wait till your boat needs to turn" ....I DO NOT CARE. It makes noise when i wanna go fast and it looks damn good doin it
Well said. I have a C5 Corvette, I love to just cruise, maybe some on ramp pulls, or reasonable speed canyon carving. ( maybe a whole lot more when no ones is around ). I have had couple of cars pull next to me to race but I refuse to do it. Killing or injuring myself or worse doing that to someone els is not worth it to me.
Gotta love C5s, maybe the best american performance for price cars out there! And that's exactly it, it's never worth hurtin someone and stuff like that becomes a reality for some people
Can we appreciate the fact that this man has taken the time to read almost every comment. Genuine guy who appreciates his viewers and enjoys this hobby
You're absolutely right brotha, I really do appreciate everyone here🙏🙏 You guys are awesome, I feel like it's hard to show that I really mean it after the thousands of thank you's you hear UA-camrs say😂
One time, there was an old man in a V6 camaro, claiming his stock engine is 10k. I didn't wanna tell him, but I know those camaros were going for 10k on marketplace.
I’m a Tesla Model S Plaid owner and I still don’t get the issue that people have with slower, amazing sounding cars. If I had enough room/money for a secondary exotic car, I’d have a Huracan or an R8 because of how much I love the sound of a V10. Yes the speed is a great extra to my car but with only one garage space I needed something practical, or else one of those two would be my choice. I love sound, I just had to sacrifice it for now. I really enjoyed this video. Wanted to give my thoughts on the last part since I am an owner of the car with the most people like you said lol
An S Plaid must be wild! You seem like a pretty down to earth person, I obviously don't think everyone with electric cars like that😂 And thank you very much for the love and I appreciate the input!🙏
The problem is that sound people notoriously act like stereotypical teenaged girls, which is why they should’ve been #1 on the list. There’s nothing wrong with liking engine noises and enjoying them as you do pulls in an isolated area, but sound people don’t do that. They INTENTIONALLY rev as loud as possible in the most public areas because they’re ignorant enough to think that everyone is looking at them because they’re cool. No; only other car guys think you’re cool, which is less than 10% of people. Literally EVERYBODY else is just looking because they’re thinking about how much of a pathetic self-centered attention-whore it takes to rev in a parking garage or other heavily populated area. Whoever hasn’t seen the south park episode called “the f word” needs to watch it immediately. It’s about harley riders, but the point of the episode applies perfectly to sound-car guys too
I used to have a 1966 chevy caprice station wagon with a factory 396 big block and a posi. I went to a car show with it as it was in great original condition. Some wannabe Dom Toretto guy walked by and and said "it's a station wagon. What's it doing here?"
The fact that your 1966 Chevy Caprice 396 wagon is still in good condition and running after 56 years is amazing. Not many of them around. For those like myself, who were teenagers or young adults in the 1960s and may have had a car like this in their family, your Caprice would bring back a rush of memories at any car gathering.
I bought an ecoboost Mustang and someone said "why bother" .... Cuz it's 300+ hp of decent gas mileage fun. I even put 2.3T badges on the front fenders where the GT has 5.0. I don't need a car to impress people. It's cool when someone appreciates your car, sure. But I bought it because I like it.
This happened to me years ago but a guy that owned a 1984 Chevy S10 said that his truck was swapped with a 484 cubic inch displacement motor when he was questioned about the hood so they could take a look he said now I'm having problems opening my hood right now
Very wholesome and legit video man, got me to supscribe. Most of these “worst car people” videos literally single out particular car owners and say ‘this is how they are’ but I love how you exposed the fact the people and their actions if they’re intentional are the real culprits
Thanks very much brotha, I appreciate that🙏 And exactly, there's never one thing you can see from the outside that says what a persons like but their intentions are everything
I get pretty annoyed with WRX drivers. I drive a Stinger, and I ALWAYS mind my own business; I drive pretty docile actually. But it's always these WRX dudes who are trying to race, talk isht at stoplights, cut me off in traffic. It's annoying AF!
I agree 100 percent on the last argument. Yes a Tesla can be faster but me and a lot of people love the feel of the car and the sound. 2 important factors which is why muscle cars are so enjoyable
You got that right those teslas are cool and all man but I’d rather have my 05 magnum R/T that’s slow as shit but sounds good than a Tesla that’s just fast
There's another even worse car person; it's the guy with too much time and energy. We had a guy that would go to every single meet, group message everyone, and spam the group page with dumb shit. He'd set up drives every week and got upset if you couldn't make it. He was on the crazy side and we eventually banned him from the group. Imagine your phone blowing up every 5 minutes by some dude group texting every thought that comes into his mind.
Oh, I'm definitely guilty of #3 lol. I love lame jokes. But if I'm joking about Mustangs being crowd killers, it's because I like Mustangs. My favorite thing is to poke fun at my own cars. I call my IROC-Z "the mulletmobile" and joke that the stereo will only play Mötley Crüe.
I agree. I have a 14 5.0 that I brought in 2019. I could’ve gone with a 17, but I just love the looks of the 13-14’s. The reason I’m saying this is because I put looks over speed. I just want my car to look and sound good.
I agree with everything you say but I hope you know this applies to ±80% of owners of these types of vehicles. Personally, I've always preferred the 'sleepers'. You don't get noticed, you are silent when you drive by and you are the only one who knows 650 horses are under the hood.
I feel the same way. Nothing special on the outside but everything that matters is tucked neatly where it needs to be. I even like a quiet exhaust on a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The "mopar boat" thing actually works very well for me the other way around, I own a 1999 Civic with a modified 1.4 liter (these engines weren't in the US, we got them in Europe because of emmissions), does around 130 hp which is (with this small weight) more than enough to have fun in corners and back roads (revs to 7.7 k rpm) and people keep saying "oh but that's so very slow, a diesel whatever is faster than that/my mom's SUV has that much power"...I KNOW.And I DON'T REALLY CARE.What I care for is the handling, the great mileage, the practicality, it's lightly modded with only oem parts so it's reliable as well...People refuse to accept the idea that having a sensible and just a bit quick car (especially when I just got my license) doesn't automatically close you out of being a car guy...And then other times I get called a "ricer" because...because it's a Honda? I have a 100% stock exhaust system with a factory bolt on tip so it looks nice, I have not a single sticker, let alone a wing or anything...Springs are stock height...still a "ricer" according to so called "real car enthusiasts"
They secretly want a Honda bro, let them know built by chop sticks or not we're still here to chop it up. Most important is have fun most car people collect others down the road, just take the moment and enjoy what you have now. Trust me I use to only have a hatchback. Now I have multiple Hondas, BMWs, Subarus Chevys etc. But I'd give anything to go back to those first few years of racing my Hondas what a rush getting into the scene
I got the boat joke so much when I owned a scat pack. Them being heavy really was part of its charm and could care less about taking corners aggressively. If you're making the payments, dont let what others say bother you. It's YOURS after all.
@@darthvaydor6716 jealous they can't afford two mustangs. Enjoy your cars man! What years and spec? I'm looking at an Audi RS 5 4.0 in the next few days and can't contain my excitement!
@@darthvaydor6716 I own a 2012 3.7 manual Mustang. I've done a full suspension on it, and love the car to death. I still hear at every freaking C&C and cruise-in that it's a shitty V6 crowd killer. It's freaking annoying, the joke is old.
Been a mechanic all my life, owned many types of performance cars and been in various car clubs so with all that experience I can easily say that Supercar dorks are the worst followed by racerboy lackies. The ones I can deal with the most are classic muscle car guys but they are still far from good. Delusion and jealousy runs high in every car club, it's just human nature.
Great video. Constantly encountered these types (and others) over the years. You can really tell the difference between someone who truly loves cars and someone who wants people to think they like cars.
Thanks very much man🙏 And yeah, it's not good to stereotype or assume you really know someone obviously, but most of the time at a meet or just in a conversation about cars, you can tell what' part of cars is really important to the person by what they choose to focus on
I'm a licensed professional driver, my buddy wanted me to ride with him out to Shreveport and back to east Alabama in his scat pack to reposses his wife's GT, love the guy, and told him I would, but after doing triple digits all the way back (even with $200 radar detectors) that shit will never happen again, BTW I love my 06 Z roadster (but I sure as hell don't go around bragging about it lmao :D
For me it's the guy I like to call the '1-upper' also known as the 'I used to own one'. I've come across dudes like that for years, where they'll be checking out someone's car and saying something akin to, "I used to have one of these, but it wasn't fast/loud/exciting enough for me, so I upgraded to a *insert car here*." Ugh...🙄
Weaving between cars in traffic is only a US issue because you guys have the WORST lane discipline in a first world country. In Europe, most people keep right and the left lane is only for overtaking, unless traffic is really packed, due to an accident or something.
For real this is a huge issue, especially in Arizona where the right lane is faster than the left lane most of the time cuz idiots don’t know the left lane is the passing lane, not cruising lane
I own a ‘00 mustang GT with an engine kit I did myself, so I love when people lie about the “kits” they have on their engines when I can see damn well they’re stock
Before i could drive i only cared about speed, then i drove for the first time and i realised there's so much more to cars then just numbers and figures
dude, you're like a much more well-spoken bladed angel. how am i just now finding this channel? you're awesome! also~ the topic discussed at 8:11. THANK YOU.
I've got a #6. The shit starter. I knew a guy who only went to classic car shows to create drama. He would sleep with other guy's wives, lend money to people just so he could complain about them not paying him back on time and tell anyone who'd listen. He'd even start arguments at events with his own son.
I never encountered that person before. But he should've include the wanna be thug "car person". I am talking about those Takuaches or vq guys that think they in a gang b takeover an intersection
"If its a joke, fine who cares. But because how long they drag it on for seems like they really believed it." This is totally relatable as people in the comments today are really believing bantering jokes are true and no facts are in it. This doesn't apply just for car talks but as for normal human conversations, this shouldn't be practiced as they spread lies.
I was revving the engine of my 89' Chevy Corsica at a stop light, and this guy next to me took of when the light turned green.... _but I was just revving the engine to keep my piece-of-shit-car from dying._
those type of driver that speed and dangerously weave in and out of traffic are so sickening you'll always find a lot of them on NYC highways and even if there's contact like swiping your mirrors, they will still commit hit n runs like a bunch of idiots
if that doesn't make sense i'll elaborate, imagine somebody put you on yt calling you out cuz u got pulled on by a civic and having the continous comments for a 5 second race of "imagine blowing out $300K to get gapped by $50,000-20,000 car" but if u call them out for atleast going for a half mile or atleast race fr they'll say your crazy or even, if u really pushed yourself to the limit and for fun, posted $200 mph casually cuz obviously those cars can't, on the highway and doing manuvers around traffic which imo is badass unless u cant handle it, but going to conclusion u get fried for that too, so where does it end.
@@Christian_Madera if callouts really get that serious, which I haven't seen any actually like that but not to say it never happens, and someone owns a $300k car then they should go to a drag strip or at least do things somewhere secluded or a very worst-case scenario super late at night when other cars aren't on the highway. It's not about the driver at that point, it's about everyone who's around them. I appreciate you sharin you're thoughts and maybe we'll never agree but I just see it differently and the whole point was about the safety of people who just want to get home to their families
I like going fast just because I like the feel of speed. Have I done 140+? Yes. Have it done it on a crowded highway where I could easily get in an accident? No. While I love speed, I don’t brag about it and I do it when the highway is empty and free of anyone else who could possible get hurt. Unfortunately tracks aren’t common around here so I wish that could be an argument.
Respect to you man, there's nothin wrong with speed in safe areas (although random events can obviously risk your life but you can minimize it and we can't all be covered in bubblewrap and never leave our houses lol). You sound like you definitely go about it the right way and, like I like to say, you do 'stupid' stuff in a smart way😂
Once met the liar at a meet, trying to convince people that his F150 was a legit Shelby. Had the body kit, badging, and everything to pass as one, but the exhaust sounded like an ecoboost, and there wasn't even a hint of a supercharger whine.
I can relate so much to number 5. I have a 2007 Infiniti M35 and I recently got a straight pipe. Yea it only has a 3.5 V6 but it’s my first car and I love how it sounds straight piped. I always get bashed because “it’s still slow”. I’m currently in the process of finishing the looks on it so that way I can actually work to affording something with decent speed. At the end of the day u drive what u love to drive no need to bash others🤝
Hell yeah man, that's an awesome first car and be proud of it no matter what people say. As long as you don't drive like an asshole or anything and you know you're respectful of others, keep doin you're thing
When surveying young women 17 years old to 20 years old they all said the same thing. The guys that have the loudest cars and stereos or the highest trucks are usually the ones trying to compensate for being small in the pants. A straight pipe V6 Or 4 cylinder always sounds like crap kind of like that yappy little mutt that goes nuts when you walk past their yard.
Nah man youre good. I Have a 4x4 Toyota Hiace with all terrain tires. acceleration is about same at warm asphalt as on icy Road. Its not a car to impress others, but it impresses me with how loyal it is. Takes me from home to forest. Believe me i get to race all Day at work with a chainsaw. Not imterested racing after long hard Day. 😂
Super accurate and funny vid! On the last point, all performance cars nowadays are so fast that a track is really the only place to fully exploit their capabilities. So what enhances the average experience? Sound! Yeah, you can floor the Tesla for like 2 seconds, then you're well over the limit and fun's over. But in a GT350 w/ half the power you can enjoy the sounds w/ every shift, throttle blip, WOT or just idling. And it's still ridiculously fast for public roads.
Great take. Back in the early days of the 5.0 Fox bodies, a car that was hard to beat for the buck; they were legit as quick as muscle cars from the sixties. There was always some dude that would reminisce about say a “350 SS Nova, 396 Chevelle, 340 Demon could beat anything”. It was a time when it was hard to believe a new car could be as fast or beat the mythical untouchable muscle car. It was always fun proving them wrong. I just had to mind the contemporary Buick GN/X…
Hey brother, I really liked this type of video. It gives a bit more depth to your video library, without going far off the main purpose of this channel. One of the biggest highlights is that you bring attention to the constant clout-chasing and one-upsmanship of people online. Such vanity is the bane of every interest, hobby, and industry, so it’s good to see you address it. Fine work! If you’re taking suggestions on new videos, maybe you should consider the American cars that have held their value and even appreciated over the years that you find most notable. Perhaps talking about the reasons why such cars have increased in value, and what purchasing one may cost in a few years given the circumstances. It would be a more intensive video, and I may be in the minority of people who like those kinds of things, but I would like to suggest it anyway. Finally, Memorial Day is nearly upon us, so I wish you and yours well. Let’s all relax a little, but also take time in remembrance of those who’ve served our country proudly.
All very well said! Thanks for your input, I'm glad you liked it and yeah I do like the way this type of video mixes up the channel just a little bit. That would be a great video but you're right, I'll have to do my homework for it😂 I'll see what I can do in the future
@@LibertyDrives Many thanks for doing this video. It's actually important to get the word out to the car community that it reflects on the rest of us if you do or say idiotic things, whether its in the comments section or at a car show. I was at a cars & coffee event in a wealthier town near me and I was over in the Porsche section (they all parked next to each other) and I told one person that I liked his custom wheels and he was just bragging about how much they cost and it was just a big turnoff. I think we're all aware of the costs. People need to realize that they are ambassadors for their hobbies. I guess you can add the "money bragger" as another car person type. The more humble you are the more someone will respect you.
@@Tubes12AX7k 😂 That's a good one, I bet everyone else was picking up on his weird vibes too. It's crazy what some people's priorities are when they meet other people. Thank you for the love!
probably the worst was seeing a dude in a amg doing the weave in broad daylight... in a 45, he tried going somewhere in the 60s+ (obviously hard to judge because of traffic) and got pulled over by police about a mile up. First time in a long time I was happy they pulled someone over for being a prick.
@@SuperEman500 just remember, seatbelts save lives, but stupid stuff still kills. I rather race my car down a empty road out in the middle of no where then on the freeway where I can completely wreck it. If I wanted to play demolition derby, id get a car that's 20+ years old and worth zit.
Had a neighbor with a 392 Challenger who claimed it was faster than a Hellcat. I was at a loss for words and didn’t even know how to argue with that level stupidity.
Bro we all know those idiots in the woods who say, "Cool, still not faster then the model s plaid". And when you try and say speed isn't everything they just resort to name calling. Some people can't be reasoned with.
Why are other car guys so captivated by a 'loud' exhaust sound, rather than its tone/tamber/character? The baffling thing to me is it's soo rampant, too. I've never heard any modified S550 (Mustang GT) exhaust that sounds better than Ford's Active Exhaust set to Track mode.
i had a supercharged rocketbunny brz and i got a lot of shit for "being a 4 cylinder" "being a ricer" "being slow" like i wanted a low wide fun car that had quick acceleration and you know what that thing was quick i had custom unequal length headers a fully built exhaust it was super fun from 30-40 rolls and i never understood why some ppl hated just bc it was a 4 banger
That's dumb man, don't let em get to you though✊ As long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters. There's ALWAYS gonna be people who've got something to say and who don't like what you're doin but 95% of the time they're only sayin it cause they don't realize how much they need to reflect on themselves
Should've had "people who want to race you at every stop just because you have a nice/loud car" on the list. I constantly have trucks blowing coal trying to race my evo off the line and it's like dude, this aint the time or place for that.
I knew a guy in high school…K.S……who was a bit of a pathological liar, especially about his car….but I always wished him well…I hope he eventually got to live the reality he make-believed.
A beautiful 5.0 coyote pulled up to my v6 s197 and it sounded so good. I even gave him the 👌 as he was waiting to turn and I was passing. I'm sure he got a good smile from my quiet little horse:)
I had a buddy I met in the car scene who is exactly like the #5 (Speed Elitist). All he ever talks about is how fast he is or the next tune & mods to jump his Amg hatchback to 400hp. I own a Veloster N and I'm completely content on the engagement, noise (pops & bangs), and how fun this car is. I stopped hanging with these type of ppl it's always a who's dick is bigger match with them. Super Lame
Fully agreed. I love cool cars but I love cool people even more. I understand everyone has their ideal build in mind and they can trash or prop any given car. But, being humble, classy and respectful is the best mod anyone could have.
Veloster N is a great car to drive... I enjoyed it more than my friend’s corvette. People think I’m crazy when I say it, but I tell them there’s a lot more to the driving experience than speed/HP.
yeah I’ll do pulls to high speeds when there’s few people on the highway, or just pedal to the metal on empty backroads, but I will never weave in between traffic. Too much to lose, and I’ve put too much work and money into my car just to crash into another car weaving in between traffic. The people who do that are the types of people who either don’t care about themselves or the safety of others and deserve no respect
Im personally really starting to get tired of all the "Alfa Romeos are really shitty quality and unreliable" stabs from people after having bought my 2018 Giulia. Like yeah maybe they were unreliable or poor build quality 40+ years ago when they pulled out of the US and we weren't even fuckin alive yet, but go off I guess.
For me as an example: I own a 67 Mustang notchback with a 347 swap, the owner (who I bought it from) says it supposedly has 500 crank hp and 460 whp, I highly doubt that number. I tell my friends this but I need to make a disclaimer saying that the previous owner said it has that much HP, and I also haven’t had the time to get it on a dyno yet…
500 at the crank will probably wind up around 425 at the wheels. Automatics lose a bit more than manuals, but from what I've been told and read, you lose about 15% on the way to the wheels. The engine I'm building now should be a hair over 500 HP, and I'll be happy to get 425 to the wheels, as I'm running an automatic.
Well. I love japanese cars, and I envision myself owning a first gen NSX, but also, my dream supercar is a Corvettes C7 Z06, my money-no-object dream car is a McLaren 600LT and my dream build is a Hot Rod Flatbed truck with a 1960's Chevrolet Chevelle Shootingbrake Hot Rod'ed... and I really love Mustang's.
@@skylerhickman3646 well, I've sat on a first gen NSX and talked with the owner years ago, and made me fall in love with the car. I've seen many C7 Corvette Z06 and I've been near them, just today I saw a white one parked, my love for McLaren came from a friend who drives hard a 650S Spyder and I loved it, every single second of the ride he gave me in that car, I have seen a Chavelle SS supercharged and it was amazing, and since I like American car history, I learned about hot rods a long time ago and fell in love with the culture and what they are all about, the style and power, and about the mustangs, I saw my favorite mustang years ago, it was a 2004 Saleen S/C 281 Extreme, in iridescent blue with a root style supercharger (making about 390hp) and so yeah, most of it is either I've seen the car up close, or fly by where I am, sat in it or ridden in it. Edit: fixed a few mistakes
@@aneudysc Thats super sick man. We sold a 1998 Nsx at my work not too long ago and it is my favorite japanese car, in my opinion the greatest car thats ever left that country. Personally Ive never been a fan of the C7 z06s weve gotten in, every single one feels cheap for the money you pay and the driving doesnt do anything to stand out over the C6 z06. The C6 is just a bit more raw and justifiable for the money. Im kinda iffy on the mclarens just because they have a lot of structural and build quality issues, not to mention Ive had mixed conversations with some of their people. Some good, some bad lol. If I had to get one, I think Id have to go 600lt too lol
I brought my son home from Ohio State this past weekend, and on the way home on Sunday afternoon there were a couple of fools in the little Supras weaving at very high speed. I was going with the flow on I-71N at roughly 75 and those two future Darwin Award winners came up on me so fast while essentially splitting lane. As said, speeding is one thing, but what they were doing was beyond assinine.
I’m right there with you on the last point. You buy the car that you want to enjoy in the way you want to enjoy it. It’s not always about the fastest car. Everyone looks for different things! Buy the car you want and enjoy it!
Ahh the speed elitists… I’ve seen and known plenty of them in my time and always stay unimpressed. I’ve heard some high compression NA Honda motors and foreign 4 cylinders running at 10k+ that sound infinitely better than significantly faster cars. Even the S2000 is a great sounding car, with the right exhaust it sounds a lot better than some cars with double the cylinders and 3x the power, but would get smoked all day long. Sound is key, looks are second or tied with first, and speed is definitely at the bottom of the list.
I think you are missing a type of car guy, although it may be related to the last one, and I call them the v8 enthusiasts, to put in context many criticize the Miata because it does not have great numbers, but are those who believe that everything in life should be big. In my opinion, it's not only the engine, but also the driving, or whats good in so much power if you can't control it? I still love v8 but, I’m talking for the people who thinks that all the good cars just have a v8
I can appreciate this comment. I used to be that V8 purist but then I played Gran Turismo and discovered the GT-R in its 2.6 liter glory. Fast forward and I own a VR30 powered Q60 and enjoying every mile.
Definitely a good one, I want a Vette someday cause that's my attainable dream car and I love so many things about em. My all time dream car though? Probably an SVJ for the sound or a P1 for the drama, I'd probably want the V12 sound though (obviously still next to a vette in my garage lmao)
An alternate of that theme works for a car I own. I have a Jaguar E-Type and get the question 'is it the 12 cylinder?' all the time. When I respond no its a 6 cylinder, they appear less interested. Despite the fact this 6 cylinder design is one of the most famous engines in the world that has powered Le Mans winning cars multiple times and the car was the fastest production car on the planet when it was released in 1961 @ 151mph. Its just not worth trying to explain. I run a car show for a lot of years and could categorize several more sterotypical car people. I'm 53 so no spring chicken but I detest the mentality of the old school muscle car guys who looked down at the younger generation with their choice of cars. I would welcome anyone who was interested in cars regardless of choice of ride. I can always find something positive to say about anyones choice of car and usually know enough about whatever they own to have a decent conversation, sometime at the surpise of the owner. Those folks are the next generation of car enthusiasts. They are no different to how us old farts were when we were younger.
@@greenflame8398 I'm fortunate enough to have a modified GT-R the screams, and a Hellcat. And you're totally right. For me, it depends on the mood. To each his own.
Cars are meant to make the owner feel good about them, who cares what others think as long as you like it and enjoy it that's all that matters. Great video!
On 5 I couldn’t agree more I’ve got a sn95 new edge mustang and it’s mostly stock except for A new air filter and some coil overs but I just really like the car because I can drive it and I can still have fun with it and it may not be the fastest car out there but it’s still fun to drive because it has a five speed manual transmission and I can do all kinds of fun stuff no in it and it’s pretty fun and fast but I don’t think everything is about speed all the time Edit: I also forgot I have an exhaust on it to let’s just say 🥵🥵
I had a 98gt 5 speed. it was my first 'fast' car and It got me into cars. did basic mods intake, wider TB, catted x pipe and Flowmasters. sounded absolutely beast! I still miss it some times.
Im commenting on your input on "it doesnt matter what you drive, some people just love the car for what it is and how it feels/sounds.". I have a 2010 Chevy Aveo5 Hatchback, 5-speed manual with cold intake. its small and silent on outside, but inside it is torquey, lot of power, and sounds like a muscle car inside. it also gets great mpg. I love it. It also has great space for tall drivers. Only downside is the stock sound system royally sucks.
you’re absolutely right about how boring itd be if there was enough “speed focused” people, honestly the car community has gone to shit, everyones hating on the next guy with no real end to it. The concept of “theres always a bigger fish” never clicks with people and it’s hilarious to me, constant hatred, constant flexing etc etc, imo ever since it became “cool” to like cars, as in being a “car person” became mainstream on social media the community went straight down the drain.
Yeah I wish there could just be a casual love for cars from everyone but I guess there's bad eggs in every group. All we can do is focus on the kind, good spirited ones and don't give into the bs and hate
When people make fun of my car for hot having a lot of HP I say yeah but it’s all useable. When people only want cars with 1000+HP they don’t think about the fact that they can’t use rarely use all the power.
Very good point! A while ago I saw someone say that about Miata's, you ge to enjoy every single horsepower and drive it as fast as it can go without breaking speed limits whereas other cars are too fast to enjoy as much
I remember I was in a group chat and I mentioned my favourite car. A Datsun 280ZX Turbo and almost everyone on the chat started saying ohh it's slow, 180hp stock from a turbo is so slow and horrible power from a turbocharger. While their car's fully modified Subarus and Hyundai Genesis, with 300hp to 500hp. Literally comparing a stock car power to a fully custom modified car. I literally had to mention that it's faster then it's rivals from the 1980s and not the slowest sports car out there. Also with 203 lb of torque which is good torque. Plus I care more of the looks of the car then power. It was so annoying to me and pretty immature of them for doing that in the first place.
It's really immature and what goes around comes around. Don't let it discourage you man cause there's a lot of mature people out there who will be able to appreciate that you worked hard for something you want!
The worst that I encounter are most of the Vette people. I am a car enthusiast and own a 2006 Gto 6 speed with 528hp to the wheels but about every time I wave at a Vette owner, they act like they are too good to wave back. The absolute worst to me are the Poncho(Pontiac) people. They think unless it has a Pontiac motor, it's not a Pontiac especially with what they call a Chevy engine. So to them Pontiac no longer existed past 1980-81. Now a lot of the classic Gto owners can't stand the 2004-2006 Gto due to looks and the LS platform. On the other hand there are some that have modernized their old Pontiacs with modern suspension and drivetrains. I would love to see you do a video on this. Sad thing is that I take it out on every old Pontiac I get up beside like they are the keyboard warrior that said the bad things . lol
That's ridiculous, I didn't know some people gatekeeped that much about Pontiacs. I think the Vette thing could also be that they're just older guys and wanted a Corvette but aren't so much "in the car scene" but I could just be playing devil's advocate. Either way man you've got a badass ride and I'm jealous!💪 Keep enjoyin it and be safe
I have a 2002 Pontiac GTP, 176,000 miles, 240 stock horsepower, bare minimum technology and I love it. Custom exhaust that I welded myself, it's noisy because I like it. Not because it's fast. Respect all makes and models, no matter how ridiculous because someone built or bought it for themselves for reasons that have nearly infinite possibilities.
The one that gets me the most are the people that focus only on HP. As you mentioned, there are so many other things that impact a vehicles performance like weight, gearing, aerodynamics, and the driver.
Last week I took an interstate exit and instead of exiting to the right I took it straight till it merged back with the road I was originally on. Passed like 10 cars and felt like a dangerous bad man Guess I’m pretty cool
The people I can’t stand are the “exclusive” car people. I have many examples, but I will share this. I live in a tiny town on the outskirts of a big city. Originally just one, we now have two cars and coffees and they alternate weekends. One person would have a 1997 Trans Am parked next to an original Porsche 356 and everyone was happy. The other location was a little snooty. They put out a statement (maybe because of me) only old collectible cars are welcome (exceptions are new ZR1s, demons, or GT500s). To me anyone in car culture is welcome. Yes, the 1998 Honda Odyssey and Fanny pack dad there to see the “neat cars” may need to park down a little, but these passionate kids that drive older 86s, MX-5s, and STs need to be there. They tend to learn a lot and start admiring cars outside their desires. I see it often. Some retiree giving advice to some 20 year old. The respect goes full circle.
In my area we have two notorious types, though I see them online all the time of course. The first are the "hurr hurr V8 or nothing" club. To them any engine with less cylinders is shit in every way. The other is the "cult of the manual". The types who insist that if your car of choice is not a manual transmission then it is bad, you're bad, and you should feel bad. "But its so much more engaging!" To YOU. To someone like me, who drove stick for 10+ years in their own cars, and 20+ years in large trucks... I get the same amount of engagement and enjoyment out of sticking a PVC conduit in a bucket of gravel and stirring it. If you love stick? Awesome! But others do not, and they get nothing out of it. And going off all the cars my "lol automatic" beat in the last autocross... I guess the cultists are not better by default. Drive what you like, how you like, when you like, and where you like. If someone else complains? Fuck 'em. They're scum, their opinion means zero, and they are the one with the problem. Not you. And as for the traffic weavers... a little tale from two years ago. A pair of genetic failures were doing that in my area. They hit a minivan, and injured a guy's wife and two children. The father proceeded to beat the driver and his passenger to death. And the jury ruled him justified. So if you want to act like a shitty little street racer, be warned that someone may well drop your ass, and be justified in doing so. And you will deserve it.
A friend led the police on a 1 hour chase, in a Yugo! He lost them! But his dad was a cop, and knew only one person that would take his grannies Yugo on a Chase. So dad beat his asp, like a man. Point is, speed doesn't always matter, attitude and Baughs go a long way.
The only car people I hate are that rev at you, with and without crackle tunes, just so you can notice them more like whaat? ☠️ You know you could just make your car faster then mine for me to even come close to noticing you you know? If you can atleast.
Should I make more car person type videos like this?? Let me know🙏

Another thing, when someone says all cars from a brand are bad or to never buy from this brand, I just don't buy it. I seen videos titled "why Ranges Rivers are crap" or "why all Jeeps are crap" and I just find it incredibly hard to believe that a company still going around today never made a good car.
At first I thought you meant you "just don't buy it" as in the car😂 I see what you mean though, people really just do it for clicks, especially when they know it's a popular brand or car
Nah most people dont understand the difference between a functional car and a good car. And those same people claiming theyre good cars are just not aware how bad it is. Jeep owners ESPECIALLY. The amount of retards in my area with lifted wranglers with lightbars and a body kit revving out that little v6 on the way to the accounting offices is just ridiculous. They never leave the road and when they do its because they wrecked it😂
Some people failed to even do basic maintenance on their car and whenever part goes out due to neglect and cost them big time they always lash out on the brand itself.
Person A: "Man, Mazda is a unreliable brand, never buy any crap from them! I had a Mazda2 for 3 years before the engine went out at 105K miles."
Person B: "That's strange since most Mazdas including the 2 are just a reliable as a civic or a corolla, have you ever got it taken to a local mechanic to see what was the problem is before or just ignore the warnings before it gave out on you?"
Person A: "I did, they said the engine oil was sludge up so much that the engine components grinded itself away! It always had oil in it when I checked it!"
Person B: "Right, so you're saying that you didn't change out your engine oil for 3 years because you didn't need too? You do know that engine oil needs to be changed out in 3 to 6 months on average right? And it's way cheaper than a engine replacement by far."
Either the person A will gets quite or say something that goes... "Changing out engine oil are a scam anyways."
"But I didn't need to change out the engine oil since I add it more when it gets low."
"I'm too poor for getting an oil change for my car. *While paying for the latest iPhone and phone bill that's over $90 a month*"
Person B: "Well I found the problem and I just solved it! You're a fucking idiot. Stick with a bikecyle next time."
Scotty Kilmer in a nutshell. I have a Chrysler and he says “Chrysler products break down on the side of the road within a week, only stupid people buy them”. Jokes on him, as it is still going strong after 4 years and 160k miles. Take care of your car and it’ll last

I’m a Tesla Model S Plaid owner and I still don’t get the issue that people have with slower, amazing sounding cars. If I had enough room/money for a secondary exotic car, I’d have a Huracan or an R8 because of how much I love the sound of a V10. Yes the speed is a great extra to my car but with only one garage space I needed something practical, or else one of those two would be my choice. I love sound, I just had to sacrifice it for now.
I really enjoyed this video. Wanted to give my thoughts on the last part since I am an owner of the car with the most people like you said lol
An S Plaid must be wild! You seem like a pretty down to earth person, I obviously don't think everyone with electric cars like that😂 And thank you very much for the love and I appreciate the input!🙏
I respect that bro . I drive a full bolt on mustang but everytime I see a Tesla I slow down cuz let’s face it …yeah
Based Tesla owner spotted.
Do you actually have fun "driving" that?
The problem is that sound people notoriously act like stereotypical teenaged girls, which is why they should’ve been #1 on the list. There’s nothing wrong with liking engine noises and enjoying them as you do pulls in an isolated area, but sound people don’t do that. They INTENTIONALLY rev as loud as possible in the most public areas because they’re ignorant enough to think that everyone is looking at them because they’re cool. No; only other car guys think you’re cool, which is less than 10% of people. Literally EVERYBODY else is just looking because they’re thinking about how much of a pathetic self-centered attention-whore it takes to rev in a parking garage or other heavily populated area. Whoever hasn’t seen the south park episode called “the f word” needs to watch it immediately. It’s about harley riders, but the point of the episode applies perfectly to sound-car guys too
I used to have a 1966 chevy caprice station wagon with a factory 396 big block and a posi. I went to a car show with it as it was in great original condition. Some wannabe Dom Toretto guy walked by and and said "it's a station wagon. What's it doing here?"
holy shit, a v8 caprice wagon sounds like something really awesome
That's messed up man, guess he just had no clue lmao
The fact that your 1966 Chevy Caprice 396 wagon is still in good condition and running after 56 years is amazing. Not many of them around. For those like myself, who were teenagers or young adults in the 1960s and may have had a car like this in their family, your Caprice would bring back a rush of memories at any car gathering.
A factory big block caprice wagon?? That's one of the coolest things ever. Had no idea they made those
I bought an ecoboost Mustang and someone said "why bother" .... Cuz it's 300+ hp of decent gas mileage fun. I even put 2.3T badges on the front fenders where the GT has 5.0. I don't need a car to impress people. It's cool when someone appreciates your car, sure. But I bought it because I like it.
Plus it’s faster than a lot of cars on the road 👌🏼

Exactly. And this is why I can't see myself buying an electric car. I love the sound of a high revving NA or the spool of a turbocharged engine.

Imagine your phone blowing up every 5 minutes by some dude group texting every thought that comes into his mind.
the worst are people who can't take criticism about their cars
Oh, I'm definitely guilty of #3 lol. I love lame jokes. But if I'm joking about Mustangs being crowd killers, it's because I like Mustangs. My favorite thing is to poke fun at my own cars. I call my IROC-Z "the mulletmobile" and joke that the stereo will only play Mötley Crüe.
I agree. I have a 14 5.0 that I brought in 2019. I could’ve gone with a 17, but I just love the looks of the 13-14’s. The reason I’m saying this is because I put looks over speed. I just want my car to look and sound good.
I agree with everything you say but I hope you know this applies to ±80% of owners of these types of vehicles. Personally, I've always preferred the 'sleepers'. You don't get noticed, you are silent when you drive by and you are the only one who knows 650 horses are under the hood.
I feel the same way. Nothing special on the outside but everything that matters is tucked neatly where it needs to be. I even like a quiet exhaust on a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The "mopar boat" thing actually works very well for me the other way around, I own a 1999 Civic with a modified 1.4 liter (these engines weren't in the US, we got them in Europe because of emmissions), does around 130 hp which is (with this small weight) more than enough to have fun in corners and back roads (revs to 7.7 k rpm) and people keep saying "oh but that's so very slow, a diesel whatever is faster than that/my mom's SUV has that much power"...I KNOW.And I DON'T REALLY CARE.What I care for is the handling, the great mileage, the practicality, it's lightly modded with only oem parts so it's reliable as well...People refuse to accept the idea that having a sensible and just a bit quick car (especially when I just got my license) doesn't automatically close you out of being a car guy...And then other times I get called a "ricer" because...because it's a Honda? I have a 100% stock exhaust system with a factory bolt on tip so it looks nice, I have not a single sticker, let alone a wing or anything...Springs are stock height...still a "ricer" according to so called "real car enthusiasts"

I own a ‘00 mustang GT with an engine kit I did myself, so I love when people lie about the “kits” they have on their engines when I can see damn well they’re stock

Thank you very much brotha!!🙏 I genuinely appreciate that a lot
@@LibertyDrives any time brother!
Though he said that not everyone wants to tune their car's performance because they knew that it is fast enough with their stock engine
I've got a #6. The shit starter. I knew a guy who only went to classic car shows to create drama. He would sleep with other guy's wives, lend money to people just so he could complain about them not paying him back on time and tell anyone who'd listen. He'd even start arguments at events with his own son.
Agreed, however that guy doesnt sound like a stereotype. Just a one off special edition duchebag
I never encountered that person before. But he should've include the wanna be thug "car person". I am talking about those Takuaches or vq guys that think they in a gang b takeover an intersection

Great call on the Challenger owners!! Straight Line Speed and Comfort!!!! Perfect combination for Bad back with a need for speed!!
"If its a joke, fine who cares. But because how long they drag it on for seems like they really believed it."
This is totally relatable as people in the comments today are really believing bantering jokes are true and no facts are in it. This doesn't apply just for car talks but as for normal human conversations, this shouldn't be practiced as they spread lies.
I was revving the engine of my 89' Chevy Corsica at a stop light, and this guy next to me took of when the light turned green.... _but I was just revving the engine to keep my piece-of-shit-car from dying._
😂😂😂
those type of driver that speed and dangerously weave in and out of traffic are so sickening
you'll always find a lot of them on NYC highways
and even if there's contact like swiping your mirrors, they will still commit hit n runs like a bunch of idiots
It generally aggravates me sometimes, I think sickening's a good word for it
i dont want to sound like a dickhead but, then whats the point of making civc vs lambo videos if your only going to limit the cars
if that doesn't make sense i'll elaborate, imagine somebody put you on yt calling you out cuz u got pulled on by a civic and having the continous comments for a 5 second race of "imagine blowing out $300K to get gapped by $50,000-20,000 car" but if u call them out for atleast going for a half mile or atleast race fr they'll say your crazy or even, if u really pushed yourself to the limit and for fun, posted $200 mph casually cuz obviously those cars can't, on the highway and doing manuvers around traffic which imo is badass unless u cant handle it, but going to conclusion u get fried for that too, so where does it end.
@@Christian_Madera if callouts really get that serious, which I haven't seen any actually like that but not to say it never happens, and someone owns a $300k car then they should go to a drag strip or at least do things somewhere secluded or a very worst-case scenario super late at night when other cars aren't on the highway. It's not about the driver at that point, it's about everyone who's around them. I appreciate you sharin you're thoughts and maybe we'll never agree but I just see it differently and the whole point was about the safety of people who just want to get home to their families
@@LibertyDrives that's fair , very fair, im just saying in a competitive manner but, your right no doubt.

Thank you very much brotha🙏🙏 I appreciate the love, that means a lot!
I like going fast just because I like the feel of speed. Have I done 140+? Yes. Have it done it on a crowded highway where I could easily get in an accident? No.
While I love speed, I don’t brag about it and I do it when the highway is empty and free of anyone else who could possible get hurt. Unfortunately tracks aren’t common around here so I wish that could be an argument.
Respect to you man, there's nothin wrong with speed in safe areas (although random events can obviously risk your life but you can minimize it and we can't all be covered in bubblewrap and never leave our houses lol). You sound like you definitely go about it the right way and, like I like to say, you do 'stupid' stuff in a smart way😂
It’s ok if you accept the risk but don’t put others at risk
For me, it's the any kind of elitist. "My car is better than your car." type of smug attitude.
I’m tired of the Honda Civic/Accord fart exhaust memes 😂😂
Same, can't own a Honda without people assuming I'm automatically a dumb ricer...Bro I have the stock exhaust on...
Once met the liar at a meet, trying to convince people that his F150 was a legit Shelby. Had the body kit, badging, and everything to pass as one, but the exhaust sounded like an ecoboost, and there wasn't even a hint of a supercharger whine.
That's so rough😂
I can relate so much to number 5. I have a 2007 Infiniti M35 and I recently got a straight pipe. Yea it only has a 3.5 V6 but it’s my first car and I love how it sounds straight piped. I always get bashed because “it’s still slow”. I’m currently in the process of finishing the looks on it so that way I can actually work to affording something with decent speed. At the end of the day u drive what u love to drive no need to bash others🤝
Hell yeah man, that's an awesome first car and be proud of it no matter what people say. As long as you don't drive like an asshole or anything and you know you're respectful of others, keep doin you're thing
When surveying young women 17 years old to 20 years old they all said the same thing. The guys that have the loudest cars and stereos or the highest trucks are usually the ones trying to compensate for being small in the pants. A straight pipe V6 Or 4 cylinder always sounds like crap kind of like that yappy little mutt that goes nuts when you walk past their yard.

Nah man youre good. I Have a 4x4 Toyota Hiace with all terrain tires. acceleration is about same at warm asphalt as on icy Road.

Not imterested racing after long hard Day. 😂
Super accurate and funny vid! On the last point, all performance cars nowadays are so fast that a track is really the only place to fully exploit their capabilities. So what enhances the average experience? Sound! Yeah, you can floor the Tesla for like 2 seconds, then you're well over the limit and fun's over. But in a GT350 w/ half the power you can enjoy the sounds w/ every shift, throttle blip, WOT or just idling. And it's still ridiculously fast for public roads.
Thanks very much man!🙏 I appreciate that and exactly!
I've heard hellcats handle pretty well
:)
I've heard they're very hard to lose control of
Great take. Back in the early days of the 5.0 Fox bodies, a car that was hard to beat for the buck; they were legit as quick as muscle cars from the sixties. There was always some dude that would reminisce about say a “350 SS Nova, 396 Chevelle, 340 Demon could beat anything”. It was a time when it was hard to believe a new car could be as fast or beat the mythical untouchable muscle car. It was always fun proving them wrong. I just had to mind the contemporary Buick GN/X…
Hey brother, I really liked this type of video. It gives a bit more depth to your video library, without going far off the main purpose of this channel. One of the biggest highlights is that you bring attention to the constant clout-chasing and one-upsmanship of people online. Such vanity is the bane of every interest, hobby, and industry, so it’s good to see you address it. Fine work!
If you’re taking suggestions on new videos, maybe you should consider the American cars that have held their value and even appreciated over the years that you find most notable. Perhaps talking about the reasons why such cars have increased in value, and what purchasing one may cost in a few years given the circumstances. It would be a more intensive video, and I may be in the minority of people who like those kinds of things, but I would like to suggest it anyway.
Finally, Memorial Day is nearly upon us, so I wish you and yours well. Let’s all relax a little, but also take time in remembrance of those who’ve served our country proudly.
All very well said! Thanks for your input, I'm glad you liked it and yeah I do like the way this type of video mixes up the channel just a little bit. That would be a great video but you're right, I'll have to do my homework for it😂 I'll see what I can do in the future
@@LibertyDrives Many thanks for doing this video. It's actually important to get the word out to the car community that it reflects on the rest of us if you do or say idiotic things, whether its in the comments section or at a car show. I was at a cars & coffee event in a wealthier town near me and I was over in the Porsche section (they all parked next to each other) and I told one person that I liked his custom wheels and he was just bragging about how much they cost and it was just a big turnoff. I think we're all aware of the costs. People need to realize that they are ambassadors for their hobbies. I guess you can add the "money bragger" as another car person type. The more humble you are the more someone will respect you.

probably the worst was seeing a dude in a amg doing the weave in broad daylight... in a 45, he tried going somewhere in the 60s+ (obviously hard to judge because of traffic) and got pulled over by police about a mile up.

Bro we all know those idiots in the woods who say, "Cool, still not faster then the model s plaid". And when you try and say speed isn't everything they just resort to name calling. Some people can't be reasoned with.
Why are other car guys so captivated by a 'loud' exhaust sound, rather than its tone/tamber/character? The baffling thing to me is it's soo rampant, too. I've never heard any modified S550 (Mustang GT) exhaust that sounds better than Ford's Active Exhaust set to Track mode.
i had a supercharged rocketbunny brz and i got a lot of shit for "being a 4 cylinder" "being a ricer" "being slow" like i wanted a low wide fun car that had quick acceleration and you know what that thing was quick i had custom unequal length headers a fully built exhaust it was super fun from 30-40 rolls and i never understood why some ppl hated just bc it was a 4 banger

I had a buddy I met in the car scene who is exactly like the #5 (Speed Elitist). All he ever talks about is how fast he is or the next tune & mods to jump his Amg hatchback to 400hp.

I stopped hanging with these type of ppl it's always a who's dick is bigger match with them. Super Lame

yeah I’ll do pulls to high speeds when there’s few people on the highway, or just pedal to the metal on empty backroads, but I will never weave in between traffic. Too much to lose, and I’ve put too much work and money into my car just to crash into another car weaving in between traffic. The people who do that are the types of people who either don’t care about themselves or the safety of others and deserve no respect
5:06 😂😂😂i cant lie, i still laugh at boat and mustang jokes
Im personally really starting to get tired of all the "Alfa Romeos are really shitty quality and unreliable" stabs from people after having bought my 2018 Giulia. Like yeah maybe they were unreliable or poor build quality 40+ years ago when they pulled out of the US and we weren't even fuckin alive yet, but go off I guess.
For me as an example: I own a 67 Mustang notchback with a 347 swap, the owner (who I bought it from) says it supposedly has 500 crank hp and 460 whp, I highly doubt that number. I tell my friends this but I need to make a disclaimer saying that the previous owner said it has that much HP, and I also haven’t had the time to get it on a dyno yet…
500 at the crank will probably wind up around 425 at the wheels. Automatics lose a bit more than manuals, but from what I've been told and read, you lose about 15% on the way to the wheels.
The engine I'm building now should be a hair over 500 HP, and I'll be happy to get 425 to the wheels, as I'm running an automatic.

Have you ever gotten to drive or mess with any of those cars?
@@skylerhickman3646 well, I've sat on a first gen NSX and talked with the owner years ago, and made me fall in love with the car. I've seen many C7 Corvette Z06 and I've been near them, just today I saw a white one parked, my love for McLaren came from a friend who drives hard a 650S Spyder and I loved it, every single second of the ride he gave me in that car, I have seen a Chavelle SS supercharged and it was amazing, and since I like American car history, I learned about hot rods a long time ago and fell in love with the culture and what they are all about, the style and power, and about the mustangs, I saw my favorite mustang years ago, it was a 2004 Saleen S/C 281 Extreme, in iridescent blue with a root style supercharger (making about 390hp) and so yeah, most of it is either I've seen the car up close, or fly by where I am, sat in it or ridden in it.
Edit: fixed a few mistakes
@@aneudysc Thats super sick man. We sold a 1998 Nsx at my work not too long ago and it is my favorite japanese car, in my opinion the greatest car thats ever left that country. Personally Ive never been a fan of the C7 z06s weve gotten in, every single one feels cheap for the money you pay and the driving doesnt do anything to stand out over the C6 z06. The C6 is just a bit more raw and justifiable for the money. Im kinda iffy on the mclarens just because they have a lot of structural and build quality issues, not to mention Ive had mixed conversations with some of their people. Some good, some bad lol. If I had to get one, I think Id have to go 600lt too lol
I brought my son home from Ohio State this past weekend, and on the way home on Sunday afternoon there were a couple of fools in the little Supras weaving at very high speed. I was going with the flow on I-71N at roughly 75 and those two future Darwin Award winners came up on me so fast while essentially splitting lane. As said, speeding is one thing, but what they were doing was beyond assinine.
But Teslas got the fake exhaust and engine noise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh god let's not get started on that😂😂
I’m right there with you on the last point. You buy the car that you want to enjoy in the way you want to enjoy it. It’s not always about the fastest car. Everyone looks for different things! Buy the car you want and enjoy it!
Amen brotha! You're very right
Ahh the speed elitists… I’ve seen and known plenty of them in my time and always stay unimpressed. I’ve heard some high compression NA Honda motors and foreign 4 cylinders running at 10k+ that sound infinitely better than significantly faster cars. Even the S2000 is a great sounding car, with the right exhaust it sounds a lot better than some cars with double the cylinders and 3x the power, but would get smoked all day long. Sound is key, looks are second or tied with first, and speed is definitely at the bottom of the list.
The bodybuilder analogue to Mopar was on point. Good work on doing videos like this to see.

I think you are missing a type of car guy, although it may be related to the last one, and I call them the v8 enthusiasts, to put in context many criticize the Miata because it does not have great numbers, but are those who believe that everything in life should be big. In my opinion, it's not only the engine, but also the driving, or whats good in so much power if you can't control it? I still love v8 but, I’m talking for the people who thinks that all the good cars just have a v8
I can appreciate this comment. I used to be that V8 purist but then I played Gran Turismo and discovered the GT-R in its 2.6 liter glory.
Fast forward and I own a VR30 powered Q60 and enjoying every mile.
Definitely a good one, I want a Vette someday cause that's my attainable dream car and I love so many things about em. My all time dream car though? Probably an SVJ for the sound or a P1 for the drama, I'd probably want the V12 sound though (obviously still next to a vette in my garage lmao)
An alternate of that theme works for a car I own. I have a Jaguar E-Type and get the question 'is it the 12 cylinder?' all the time. When I respond no its a 6 cylinder, they appear less interested. Despite the fact this 6 cylinder design is one of the most famous engines in the world that has powered Le Mans winning cars multiple times and the car was the fastest production car on the planet when it was released in 1961 @ 151mph. Its just not worth trying to explain.
I run a car show for a lot of years and could categorize several more sterotypical car people. I'm 53 so no spring chicken but I detest the mentality of the old school muscle car guys who looked down at the younger generation with their choice of cars. I would welcome anyone who was interested in cars regardless of choice of ride. I can always find something positive to say about anyones choice of car and usually know enough about whatever they own to have a decent conversation, sometime at the surpise of the owner. Those folks are the next generation of car enthusiasts. They are no different to how us old farts were when we were younger.
@@greenflame8398 I'm fortunate enough to have a modified GT-R the screams, and a Hellcat. And you're totally right. For me, it depends on the mood. To each his own.

On 5 I couldn’t agree more I’ve got a sn95 new edge mustang and it’s mostly stock except for A new air filter and some coil overs but I just really like the car because I can drive it and I can still have fun with it and it may not be the fastest car out there but it’s still fun to drive because it has a five speed manual transmission and I can do all kinds of fun stuff no in it and it’s pretty fun and fast but I don’t think everything is about speed all the time

Hell yeah man, I love the new edge stangs, sounds like you've got a great ride!
@@LibertyDrives thanks it’s a ton of fun
I had a 98gt 5 speed. it was my first 'fast' car and It got me into cars. did basic mods intake, wider TB, catted x pipe and Flowmasters. sounded absolutely beast! I still miss it some times.
Im commenting on your input on "it doesnt matter what you drive, some people just love the car for what it is and how it feels/sounds.". I have a 2010 Chevy Aveo5 Hatchback, 5-speed manual with cold intake. its small and silent on outside, but inside it is torquey, lot of power, and sounds like a muscle car inside. it also gets great mpg. I love it. It also has great space for tall drivers. Only downside is the stock sound system royally sucks.
Damn i can clearly tell this man has a mustang based off this video 😂😂 somebody's butt hurt
Nope, you nailed it. The banter usually comes from the jealous. Reality is what it is.
you’re absolutely right about how boring itd be if there was enough “speed focused” people, honestly the car community has gone to shit, everyones hating on the next guy with no real end to it. The concept of “theres always a bigger fish” never clicks with people and it’s hilarious to me, constant hatred, constant flexing etc etc, imo ever since it became “cool” to like cars, as in being a “car person” became mainstream on social media the community went straight down the drain.
Yeah I wish there could just be a casual love for cars from everyone but I guess there's bad eggs in every group. All we can do is focus on the kind, good spirited ones and don't give into the bs and hate
This was great, man. I highly agree with every last point, especially the last few.
Aye thank you very much!🙏 I appreciate that brotha, glad you enjoyed
When people make fun of my car for hot having a lot of HP I say yeah but it’s all useable. When people only want cars with 1000+HP they don’t think about the fact that they can’t use rarely use all the power.
Very good point! A while ago I saw someone say that about Miata's, you ge to enjoy every single horsepower and drive it as fast as it can go without breaking speed limits whereas other cars are too fast to enjoy as much
@@LibertyDrives Exactly because driving a slower car fast is more fun than driving a faster car slow! hahaha
I remember I was in a group chat and I mentioned my favourite car.
A Datsun 280ZX Turbo and almost everyone on the chat started saying ohh it's slow, 180hp stock from a turbo is so slow and horrible power from a turbocharger.
While their car's fully modified Subarus and Hyundai Genesis, with 300hp to 500hp.
Literally comparing a stock car power to a fully custom modified car.
I literally had to mention that it's faster then it's rivals from the 1980s and not the slowest sports car out there. Also with 203 lb of torque which is good torque. Plus I care more of the looks of the car then power.
It was so annoying to me and pretty immature of them for doing that in the first place.
It's really immature and what goes around comes around. Don't let it discourage you man cause there's a lot of mature people out there who will be able to appreciate that you worked hard for something you want!

The worst that I encounter are most of the Vette people. I am a car enthusiast and own a 2006 Gto 6 speed with 528hp to the wheels but about every time I wave at a Vette owner, they act like they are too good to wave back. The absolute worst to me are the Poncho(Pontiac) people. They think unless it has a Pontiac motor, it's not a Pontiac especially with what they call a Chevy engine. So to them Pontiac no longer existed past 1980-81. Now a lot of the classic Gto owners can't stand the 2004-2006 Gto due to looks and the LS platform. On the other hand there are some that have modernized their old Pontiacs with modern suspension and drivetrains. I would love to see you do a video on this. Sad thing is that I take it out on every old Pontiac I get up beside like they are the keyboard warrior that said the bad things . lol
That's ridiculous, I didn't know some people gatekeeped that much about Pontiacs. I think the Vette thing could also be that they're just older guys and wanted a Corvette but aren't so much "in the car scene" but I could just be playing devil's advocate. Either way man you've got a badass ride and I'm jealous!💪 Keep enjoyin it and be safe
I have a 2002 Pontiac GTP, 176,000 miles, 240 stock horsepower, bare minimum technology and I love it. Custom exhaust that I welded myself, it's noisy because I like it. Not because it's fast. Respect all makes and models, no matter how ridiculous because someone built or bought it for themselves for reasons that have nearly infinite possibilities.
The one that gets me the most are the people that focus only on HP. As you mentioned, there are so many other things that impact a vehicles performance like weight, gearing, aerodynamics, and the driver.
Last week I took an interstate exit and instead of exiting to the right I took it straight till it merged back with the road I was originally on. Passed like 10 cars and felt like a dangerous bad man
Guess I’m pretty cool
The people I can’t stand are the “exclusive” car people. I have many examples, but I will share this. I live in a tiny town on the outskirts of a big city. Originally just one, we now have two cars and coffees and they alternate weekends. One person would have a 1997 Trans Am parked next to an original Porsche 356 and everyone was happy. The other location was a little snooty. They put out a statement (maybe because of me) only old collectible cars are welcome (exceptions are new ZR1s, demons, or GT500s). To me anyone in car culture is welcome. Yes, the 1998 Honda Odyssey and Fanny pack dad there to see the “neat cars” may need to park down a little, but these passionate kids that drive older 86s, MX-5s, and STs need to be there. They tend to learn a lot and start admiring cars outside their desires. I see it often. Some retiree giving advice to some 20 year old. The respect goes full circle.
In my area we have two notorious types, though I see them online all the time of course.
The first are the "hurr hurr V8 or nothing" club. To them any engine with less cylinders is shit in every way. The other is the "cult of the manual". The types who insist that if your car of choice is not a manual transmission then it is bad, you're bad, and you should feel bad. "But its so much more engaging!" To YOU. To someone like me, who drove stick for 10+ years in their own cars, and 20+ years in large trucks... I get the same amount of engagement and enjoyment out of sticking a PVC conduit in a bucket of gravel and stirring it. If you love stick? Awesome! But others do not, and they get nothing out of it. And going off all the cars my "lol automatic" beat in the last autocross... I guess the cultists are not better by default.
Drive what you like, how you like, when you like, and where you like. If someone else complains? Fuck 'em. They're scum, their opinion means zero, and they are the one with the problem. Not you.
And as for the traffic weavers... a little tale from two years ago. A pair of genetic failures were doing that in my area. They hit a minivan, and injured a guy's wife and two children. The father proceeded to beat the driver and his passenger to death. And the jury ruled him justified. So if you want to act like a shitty little street racer, be warned that someone may well drop your ass, and be justified in doing so. And you will deserve it.
Anyone who participates in a takeover is the worst kind of car guy
Bro nobody in the yt game got it like you🔥🔥🔥 keep it up homie
A friend led the police on a 1 hour chase, in a Yugo! He lost them! But his dad was a cop, and knew only one person that would take his grannies Yugo on a Chase. So dad beat his asp, like a man.
Point is, speed doesn't always matter, attitude and Baughs go a long way.
