I doubt they put that much thought into it.

Had my cousins husband call me a lier because I told him I could get sparkplugs out with the minimal ratchet set. After I proved him wrong he then proceeded to tell me that my intercooler was just for show my N.B awd 07 cx-7 doesn't have a turbo and that I can still drive it on an evap fail, egr fail, and catalytic converter fail,with no problems or massive damage to my car.(he isn't a car guy and only know about his busted 05 Honda wich is N.A do to UA-cam. and now magically he knows more than a licensed mechanic both retired and still working.) ~His car nolonger runs and I'm waiting on parts and equipment for mine.~
To be fair, the author said "front mounted". The author was saying that the placement of the intercooler doesn't have an "advantage" over top mounted intercoolers. Some might argue that the advantage is minimal, thus not worth the labour and cost, but that wasn't the author's argument. Intercoolers increase performance by dissipating heat as quickly and efficiently as possible, and the author apparently is too ignorant to realize this.
Last time I checked if somthing helps keeps the engine cool you would think its postive to the performance of the vehicle especially a sports car or track car
I love your videos, got in the car scene through your videos a few years ago, still love it and i thank you that you showed me that theres a lot more about cars than just transport.
Gotta say, Bladed, I used to be one of the guys who thought turbo and nos were like how video games portrayed them. I saw your video and I now know that it isn't, so thanks for showing the differences and how they ACTUALLY function!

I remember having a "car guy" try to explain to me that turbochargers were always better because "superchargers are driven by the crank, so they actually take power *away* from the engine".
Well, they do, they just add more than they take away (assuming you have them mounted well) and overall turbos are more efficient, modern ones have very little lag (which proper superchargers will always have an advantage in lag)
@@spp6849 Yes, I know that superchargers take *efficiency* from an engine in exchange for power, but that's not what this guy was arguing. He was saying that superchargers make cars less powerful.
That paddle shifter = manual nonsense was a PITA when searching for my newest car. Everytime I filtered by manual 7/10 cars were automatics with a _manual mode_ being paddle shifters or that stupid sequential style with the shifting knob. They need a 3rd pedal filter option lol

Scissor Doors are a great idea for 2+2 coupes and 2-seat sports cars. The main point is that the longer doors, usually meant to allow easier entry and egress to the back seat (and actually just make getting in and out of the car easier) can pose a significant issue in a parking lot or garage. So Scissor doors are very useful. They don't always look good, like on a 2nd Gen Ford Focus Coupe, but they are practical for cars with longer doors.
These videos keep me entertained 😂 usually if I don’t know something or thinks it will sound stupid I just keep it to myself cause those non car ppl be looking stupid💀
11:50 If he meant paddle shifters on rather standard cars then yeah, it used to be a problem cos either they were horribly done (e.g smart roadster's "electrically operated manual" with paddle shifters taking 3-6 business days to shift gears) or just a very expensive show-off (the first of VW's DSG's, why'd you even need that?)
In terms of intercoolers, fmic gives better peak performance potential due to the straight airflow that is aided the faster you drive. tmic is chosen purely for two reasons: space constraint, and damage protection. This is the main reason STI always have had the hood scoop with a tmic setup, to avoid damaging the intercooler from frontal impact and road debris on rally stages, it's just a more secure location and 1 less mechanical hazard to worry about. Plus it looks neat. For certain applications with restrictions (like racing), a tmic may very easily be sufficient for what you're allowed to do in terms of power and cooling, but for straight unlimited performance an fmic has more potential.

Wings, seriously? Downforce exists and is necessary in certain cars, if they were talking about certain types, such as tape ones, then fair enough. However, he was talking about ALL wings. Clearly doesn’t know crap about anything car related. Holy crap.
more downforce at the cost of less fuel economy and slower top speed (corvette modders did a video testing it and found that a spoiler would reduce the top speed by 10 mph purely because the weight was way more weight than the aerodynamics bonuses it offered)
That article on the ugliest cars... I saw an Edsel a couple days ago, and it was *beautiful.* There are no ugly production cars, each one is beautiful in its own way. Yes, even the Multipla.
I noticed on the last article a few things there were correlated but most of it were things that non car people do And to me I've come to this against stage and maturity where as long as you're safe and whatever you're doing to your car makes you happy who fucking cares
if it damages an irreplaceable car, or if it interferes with traffic, people have a right to care. however, people also have a right to find car fashions as ridiculous as they have a right to find other fashions. and, bottom line, one person has just as much right to put eyelashes on their new beetle as another person has to create a weebvette. so I guess the real issue is whether you get triggered because a non car guy thinks your favorite mod is silly.

4:48 Clearly states that if your car isn't turbocharged, it's a overpriced decor. There really isn't a mechanical advantage if your car isn't turbocharged. Poorly done video on poorly done and old articles.
Top mount intercools do have a slight disadvantage as they can heat soak slightly more quickly because hot air rises and so they top mount can get hotter. However on a street car this is negligible
Paddle shifters are used in racing on automated manuals. Like Ferrari F1 manual, BMW smg, Porsche pdk, etc. They still have a clutch, not a torque converter. Front mount intercoolers are better if they are air-air. My car has the factory air-water mounted under the supercharger, so it heat soaks easily, so I added a front mount as well
Was actually a nice sight to see Lilliya Olenyeva and Sirin (Herrscher of the Void) at the paddle shifters in article 4. I know I got distracted, but.. I mean... Honkai Impact.
My mom has some of the lip things on her seats. They are actually useful since she can put her purse on it if there is a passenger so her purse is still easily accessible from the front seats without it being in the way or in the floor.
"they keep you from sliding around, even in a toyota camry" can verify I used to daily and old school street race my camry Note- old school street race being point a to b type stuff
My mom's Acura has paddle shifters. They can be used for if you just wanna drive manual without using a clutch or anything like that. Also seems good for beginners who wanna learn manual.
I do agree with you on all of this. Just one thing with the clutch: Clutch pressed, foot on gas, still in like 3rd gear clutch engaged, gear disengage, go fast.

I still think the car has charm.
@@tentacledood5784 it kinda does
I feel so validated in my hatred of people thinking automatic cars are manual just becuase of the paddles. They aren't. Nor are they semi-automatic. I'd say those don't exist but the Valeo gearbox in some Mondials might actually be one, or at least a manual without clutch.
When talking with non car friends I call dual clutches semi auto to differentiate between them and slushboxes
@@ChutneyGames Please call them dual-clutch transmission (or automated manual at least, if you really need to steer away from technical language) and then explain in minimal details if asked what it is, don't create even more confusion among non-car people.
@@mihan2d why not it's really funny
Semi auto could be stuff like an automated manual or dct (which they are usually considered, though the dct is, correctly, a pre-selector gearbox), as long as they have a manual mode
Hey man my 2014 Dodge Charger has autostick mode where you flick the stick left or right to shift. deffffinitely a manual idk what you're talking about. Who needs a clutch lol
Had my cousins husband call me a lier because I told him I could get sparkplugs out with the minimal ratchet set. After I proved him wrong he then proceeded to tell me that my intercooler was just for show my N.B awd 07 cx-7 doesn't have a turbo and that I can still drive it on an evap fail, egr fail, and catalytic converter fail,with no problems or massive damage to my car.(he isn't a car guy and only know about his busted 05 Honda wich is N.A do to UA-cam. and now magically he knows more than a licensed mechanic both retired and still working.) ~His car nolonger runs and I'm waiting on parts and equipment for mine.~
A functioning intercooler without a turbo?
We need a part 2
That's only if you're willing to put yourself through... "that" again
i just lost it when they said "intercoolers dont help with performance"
Why you have to build a car that goes 350kph at 1/4 mile when you can bould a car that goes 320kph for 20 miles?
To be fair, the author said "front mounted". The author was saying that the placement of the intercooler doesn't have an "advantage" over top mounted intercoolers. Some might argue that the advantage is minimal, thus not worth the labour and cost, but that wasn't the author's argument. Intercoolers increase performance by dissipating heat as quickly and efficiently as possible, and the author apparently is too ignorant to realize this.
@@ppcondiscord7809 hm true

I remember having a "car guy" try to explain to me that turbochargers were always better because "superchargers are driven by the crank, so they actually take power *away* from the engine".
Well, they do, they just add more than they take away (assuming you have them mounted well) and overall turbos are more efficient, modern ones have very little lag (which proper superchargers will always have an advantage in lag)
well its kinda true but they both have pros and cons.
@@spp6849 Yes, I know that superchargers take *efficiency* from an engine in exchange for power, but that's not what this guy was arguing. He was saying that superchargers make cars less powerful.
That paddle shifter = manual nonsense was a PITA when searching for my newest car. Everytime I filtered by manual 7/10 cars were automatics with a _manual mode_ being paddle shifters or that stupid sequential style with the shifting knob.
They need a 3rd pedal filter option lol
Everyone knows manuals are cooler, so marketing departments went to work to brand everything "manual" that they possibly could. And of course laypeople bought into it.

Always waiting for bladed.
Scissor Doors are a great idea for 2+2 coupes and 2-seat sports cars. The main point is that the longer doors, usually meant to allow easier entry and egress to the back seat (and actually just make getting in and out of the car easier) can pose a significant issue in a parking lot or garage. So Scissor doors are very useful. They don't always look good, like on a 2nd Gen Ford Focus Coupe, but they are practical for cars with longer doors.
Me:Laughs at the people bladed is bunking
Also me when I realize that I believed them when I was 9 :'】
Colored wheels: exist
Non-car people: *and we took that personally*
Haha, i remember when bladed first tweeted about that paddle shifter article several weeks back.
These videos keep me entertained 😂 usually if I don’t know something or thinks it will sound stupid I just keep it to myself cause those non car ppl be looking stupid💀
hey bladed! i love ur videos dude, keep up the good work! these always make me happy:)
The fact that they considered the prius to be better looking than the Veneno is just crazy.
11:50 If he meant paddle shifters on rather standard cars then yeah, it used to be a problem cos either they were horribly done (e.g smart roadster's "electrically operated manual" with paddle shifters taking 3-6 business days to shift gears) or just a very expensive show-off (the first of VW's DSG's, why'd you even need that?)
In terms of intercoolers, fmic gives better peak performance potential due to the straight airflow that is aided the faster you drive. tmic is chosen purely for two reasons: space constraint, and damage protection. This is the main reason STI always have had the hood scoop with a tmic setup, to avoid damaging the intercooler from frontal impact and road debris on rally stages, it's just a more secure location and 1 less mechanical hazard to worry about. Plus it looks neat. For certain applications with restrictions (like racing), a tmic may very easily be sufficient for what you're allowed to do in terms of power and cooling, but for straight unlimited performance an fmic has more potential.

Wings, seriously? Downforce exists and is necessary in certain cars, if they were talking about certain types, such as tape ones, then fair enough. However, he was talking about ALL wings. Clearly doesn’t know crap about anything car related. Holy crap.
more downforce at the cost of less fuel economy and slower top speed (corvette modders did a video testing it and found that a spoiler would reduce the top speed by 10 mph purely because the weight was way more weight than the aerodynamics bonuses it offered)
@@jason200912 buddy weight doesn't affect top speed. Aero does. The drag reduced the top speed, not the weight
Shouldve started with Scotty kilmers statement of "dont ever buy a car with a turbocharged engine because turbo bad"
Glad to finally be part of the early gang; I'm excited to watch the video.
If I see a normally manual car with paddle shifters, I will run.

That article on the ugliest cars... I saw an Edsel a couple days ago, and it was *beautiful.*
There are no ugly production cars, each one is beautiful in its own way. Yes, even the Multipla.
I noticed on the last article a few things there were correlated but most of it were things that non car people do And to me I've come to this against stage and maturity where as long as you're safe and whatever you're doing to your car makes you happy who fucking cares
if it damages an irreplaceable car, or if it interferes with traffic, people have a right to care. however, people also have a right to find car fashions as ridiculous as they have a right to find other fashions. and, bottom line, one person has just as much right to put eyelashes on their new beetle as another person has to create a weebvette.
so I guess the real issue is whether you get triggered because a non car guy thinks your favorite mod is silly.
Yo, I saw steering lights in that last article. Those things are actually highly practical if you find yourself driving at night a lot

Poorly done video on poorly done and old articles.
Top mount intercools do have a slight disadvantage as they can heat soak slightly more quickly because hot air rises and so they top mount can get hotter. However on a street car this is negligible

Paddle shifters are used in racing on automated manuals. Like Ferrari F1 manual, BMW smg, Porsche pdk, etc. They still have a clutch, not a torque converter.
Front mount intercoolers are better if they are air-air. My car has the factory air-water mounted under the supercharger, so it heat soaks easily, so I added a front mount as well
