Cars with unusual traits

[squirlybmx]

I completely agree. That's the reason group b got banned, and as for the douche that thought he'd be really clever and leave a condescending reply to my post, are you aware that there are other people on this planet? So then you might be aware that some people may not have been exposed to the rich and everlasting knowledge that you have. If you already knew that a twin charger existed, then keep you smart ass comments to yourself, and save yourself the embarrassment of being told online.

If you had been more clear and used the correct terminology, I wouldn't have misunderstood you. Just saying turbocharger and supercharger doesn't automatically mean you're referring to compound charging a car

Sorry, next time im trying to explain something I will be mindful of the fact that there may be people looking at my posts that need things explaining to them. Maybe next time I will leave a link to a diagram, would that have been more helpful?

Also out of all the cars that have superchargers and turbos do you really think that I would have given them three as examples to explain?

The fact is that you left a hastily made reply to my post without fully reading the numerous pages before hand, so the only advice I have for you is to do your research. In this case actually read the thread before making sarcastic replies to one that you have noticed.

I've read plenty of pages and posted a few times in this thread. I admittedly made a stupid remark after I misunderstood your post. I wasn't aware of the examples you used having a compound charging system on them so stupidly assumed you were just speaking of turbos and superchargers in general.

Well I'll accept that as an apology, lol.

Don't know if this has been addressed but a turbo and a supercharger actually happens in real life. I think ford developed it for the gt40, also VW used it in a 1.4 golf. Audi have just released a version of the a1 called a black edition that also uses such a system.

Dual charging was quite an exotic thing for quite a while, with very few examples in production cars (notably the Lancia Delta S4 and Nissan Micra Super Turbo in the 80s). In the late 2000s VW started mass producing the 1.4 TSI engine and putting it in the Golf, and soon a whole lot of VAG models where made available with that engine. So today this is actually a very common thing.

Caterham 7 you can buy both superchargers and turbo chargers.

Same for the '98 Corolla Levin BZ-R.

The Holden Monaro CV8 doesn't have a horn.

 

[Ganondorf]

I'm sure the Vauxhall Astra STC has a horn, which is weird as race cars don't need horns. At the same time, as BlameAuntJemima points out, there are some cars which should have horns that don't.

 

[che69velle]

It actually ends well. Very goddamn well. One of the best examples is the Lancia Delta S4, which is a car best defined as 25% car and 80% furious gravel-running, fire-breathing monster. The thing about twincharging is that it takes the best out of both methods. At low revs, only the supercharger is in action producing virtually lag-free acceleration while the exhaust gases aren't enough to spool the turbo effectively. At high revs, when the supercharger becomes less effective is when it leaves all the work to the turbo. It's fairly complex but it can work wonders depending on the application.

Its aplication started in marine racing use, but its cool to see overdone. i cant find a pic but i saw a 67 mustang running twin turbos through a 12-71 supercharger. it was running 40+ lbs of boost. but i did find this pic, i know its not the same but it is compound charged

Some rally cars have a horn some dont.

Doesn't the AEM S2000 have different colored wheels front/rear?

And HKS hyper genki silvia.

So does the 2011 Brian Vickers Toyota Camry...

I'm not entirely sure I would class this unusual but nice find anyways.

Red Bull wanted to give the illusion of the bull running.

When driving a max HP Cuda' with an automatic transmission. I will refuse to shift on the power band. Instead it waits for the redline, some times the gears are to tall to get there. What would make a 70s muscle car rev that high and still make power is beyond me.
Only car I have seen do that.

The problem with this is any older carb'd car will rev until it explodes as there were no rev limiters (ask my '87 ram that could surpass 110 )

The GT_R N34 Shulze Motorsport car has perfectly bright rear view mirror in cockpit view, then look out the rear window...tinted!

 

[jtqmopar]

I'm not sure if I'm entirely right on this, but the Minolta shows right hand drive. Wouldn't a driver sit in the middle? Or is there a co-driver?

And as for the Aston's tach direction, does anyone watch Top Gear? Aston Martin's tachs do spin CCW

In seems the seat of the minolta is not in the middle

 

[Flaco13]

The Opel Vectra 3.2 V6 is a right hand drive. Very unusual unless you take it as an Irish version, or was it sold in Japan? Yet suspension and gear ratio tells me its not just a re-badget Vauxhall.

The other models are shown correct, with the Opel´s as left hand drivers; the Vauxhall´s as right hand dr.

The ff need two gearboxes to power it awd system.that's unusual because it only takes one to power a awd system

 

[Nismo34]

A) The FF isnt in GT5,

B) it does need 2 gearboxes because it isnt a conventional AWD system, its a RWD Mated to a FWD as the conventional AWD system doesnt give the low centre of gravity that ferrari like...

Back to GT5 now...

Doesn't all LMPs have to be two seaters. Even that new Nissan Delta has two seats.

The FF doesn't have the usual AWD system.

1: I commented on the wrong post.

2: I am so glad you pointed this out to me, what would I have done?

 

[G.T.Ace]

The Minolta isn't a LMP, it's a Group C car. I think it was allowed to make single seaters/cars with the driver in the middle back then (the McLaren F1 GTR, which was used as a GT1 car in the '90's had the driver sitting in the middle too, like the roadcar). You usually place the driver more on one side, because it makes swaps easier, at least that's what I have heard in the past. Also one of the reason why most modern LMPs are RHD, because the pits in Le Mans, Sebring and Spa are on the right side of the track.

You are of course right though, since a couple of years cars must have two seats, or at least an empty place for another one.

I don't think there is anything in the regulations about the number of seats.

Not sure though.

 

[LancerEvo7]

They only have to have a driver's seat but must have space for a second. Most teams fill the space for the second one with electronic nonsense and the like.

I was gonna say the Super GT cars often have electronics in the empty space (i would assume it's all radio equipment and other in-car adjusters or such), but didnt think it could be compared to Group C cars.
