The MKIV vs MKV Thread

(emphasis mine)

Preach it! I'm totally fine with even the lower 335 rumor. It's like people have forgotten that the JDM icons all had only 275-325 horsepower: GTRs, FD3S, A80, Evo IX, STI, and NSX. It's plenty enough for factory street cars. That even ignores the popular but less powerful cars like s14, s2000, integra type r, miata, 300zx, 240/280z. The GTRs and Supras were the "heavy hitters" and "JDM Muscle".

It's America with the long straights. Slamming the foot and feeling the torque come is considered fun around here?

It's making a hypothesis that the market corrects based off sports car trends, which we know is not the case

No, you are making that assumption. If you think they are suggesting that the market corrects itself based on what cars are manufactured then you are either naive or ignorant.

The 300ZX TT made 300hp compared to the R34 GTR's 276hp. Not saying one is better than the other, just wanted to clear that up.

How thick headed are you? Can you not read the last paragraph?

’m going to split the difference between those introduction dates, factor in the trough trends, and call my shot: We will start our next recession in May 2019.

The prior causes of recessionary periods were not due to these car manufacturers making lavish vehicles,

Why don't you quote the part of the article where they say the recession was caused by making lavish vehicles for me pal?

 

[Bakerr6]

Here you go:

That’s because the past three recessions can all be connected to when Japan’s automakers launched a new generation of hair-pinning acceleration monsters. I’m not sure if it’s correlation, causation, or coincidence. All I know is that it happens.

I think most would agree that these cars are lavish and unnecessary.

I'm not here to argue, my whole point is that with my many years in wealth management, I have seen even the brightest of minds use similar ridiculous theories to try and predict the next market crash instead of creating a diversified portfolio of investments that can provide a much better risk adjusted return.

I don't know what else to tell you.

This looks good. I hope the new Supra has these proportions as that's what MKV should be.

Just about any car looks good after $200k of modifications for GT racing. But I agree, THIS picture looks good.

If these are the body lines then I am extremely excited to see the finished product

 

[anthracite]

That car looks much longer than the one we are seeing in the spy shots.

[awegrzyn]

Yes, it seems longer and right away I love this version. Not just the length is better, but the overall balance of the design is amazing. It does not look like a TVR, Porsche, or Hyundai Tiburon. It just looks RIGHT. Maybe it only seems longer because it sits so low. Hard to say. Won't be able to tell until the real car comes out.

The proportions are SPOT ON with this one. The length of the hood is perfect. It does not look scruched up like in the latest spy shots.

 

[Timster1990]

I agree, would be much more pleasing to the eye if the proportions looked similar to this.

 

[Bakerr6]

I could see paying 70k for that. My wife may not agree haha
