One thing I can add to this discussion: lane width on the highway can influence how fast you think you're going. If I drive on a newer bit of highway with wider lanes than I'm used to, I literally have to remind myself that yes, I'm still doing 100kph and yes, that still means I need plenty of braking space in case that truck right therOHMYGOD
Thing I never understood about breaking space is that no car is going to instantly stop in front of you. They still need to slow down themsleves if they break, so yoh really just need a fast enough reaction to start breaking, not to actually stop.
@Lukas G The short answer: information and reaction times. The long answer: it's been tested years ago that your reaction time is about half the total braking distance. So if the driver in front of you notices something bad in front of him/her and starts braking hard, your brain in normal relaxed driving mode is not aware of this until your eyes register the brake lights, tell your brain, your brain tells your eyes to lock on the brake lights, the eyes send the info back that yes, those are really brake lights in your direct path, your brain tells your leg to start moving off one pedal and onto the other, and then the time it takes for your body and the car's mechanics to do what's needed to get the calipers onto your brakes. That's half the distance already gone. Even with sufficient distance to the car in front of you, your car will need to work hard to keep your crash stop from becoming a crash. (Remember that Top Gear braking distance thing they did? Yeah that was bullsh-- I mean 'comedy'.) The next thing: when a car in front of a close string of cars on the highway brakes a bit, the car behind it tends to brake a little harder to compensate for the cars being suddenly much closer (because of the already mentioned reaction speeds). The car behind that needs to brake even harder, the one behind that even more, etc., until cars end up stopping completely in a traffic jam or pile-up. Keeping enough distance does much to soften this effect, as cars are not 'suddenly much closer' -- you don't need to compensate -- and therefore helps to avoid traffic jams & pile-ups behind you. Finally, there are situations where the car in front of you does brake faster than its brakes could do. For example, when the driver doesn't pay attention and rams another car. Or spins out of control. In those cases, a good distance means the difference between just touching your brake pedal the moment you hit the other vehicle, or driving much slower by that point. In other words, the difference between potentially murdering people and a stoved-in front bumper. In an ideal world, you get the information about the obstacle the same time as the car in front of you does. In an ideal world, your cars are driving on a similar surface, with similar tyres, have the same type of brakes and they are equally well maintained, and no-one ever gets cut off, falls asleep, loses grip, has broken brake lights or spins out. We do not live in an ideal world.
Tbh the first time when I just bought my car and was going 90kmh on the German autobahn it felt so fast, but now im going 180kmh and it feels more slower then ever. Ik that if ur gonna go even 200 on cruise control then it’s gonna feel like 50 cuz ur body is becoming more used to it.
The show wasn't bad, I learned a lot on the Camaro vs Mustang episode. Made me like Camaros more than I did! I just think trying to score everything seemed unnecessary.

Lol, you can just control cars acceleration or velocity. Jerk is out of your control Mathematically: ds^3/d^3t (Dj:da/dt da:dv/dt dv:ds/dt) Jerk is the rate of change of acceleration. Take it as the difference between acceleration of time A and time B.

This is also why automatic drivers are always going way faster than manual drivers on highways, with less gears to go in to the car is much louder at higher speeds.
@@ReclusiveRychu true 😂 in my Mazda 5 speed, if anyone goes over 70 I'm like "damn why is everyone flying today". Although my Subaru is a 4 speed auto and still does great at 70-80. That torque converter really helps with taller gear ratios is the other factor.
Had this feeling when I went from a BMW 530D to the Subaru WRX STI. With the BMW I would cruise at 220 on the Autobahn and be completely relaxed, While the STI felt like I was going twice as fast at 200.

@@Fury_BlackWolf wasnt saying it takes more skill to drive an FRS, literally just saying the straights dont take skill yet people are always after more speed.

800 billion dollar speed machine: 90 miles=sneaking speed any car from the 90s priced at 200 dollars gone through 6 different owners and mechanics fear it: 20 miles feels like you just passed an sr71
The problem with the blindfold test is I doubt you're actually "sensing" what speed you're traveling-since, as you mentioned earlier in the video, you can't feel speed. I'd imagine what's happening in the blindfold experiment is that you're feeling the car accelerate and you're remembering the intensity and duration of that acceleration and matching that up mentally with your past experience with acceleration, same thing with deceleration. So the blindfold test is probably more of a mental equation than a "body sensation". Also, a car with stiffer suspension will let you feel more of the imperfections of the road at speed, which will also give you a pretty good idea of how fast you're traveling. Not because of the speed itself, but because your body knows what going over a bump in the road at 15 mph feels like vs 60 mph. So, it stands to reason that a stiffer suspension would be more accurate in the blindfold test.
.. it would be a big diff if they did a blind driving test stick,only seeing the tachometer and hearing the engine and so forth …. But that’s a death trap
First, feeling the car shacking is exactly how you feel the speed. The faster you go, the more unstable it feels. Second, accuracy depends more on personal experience, because your senses are calibrated based of that. While more bumpiness can allow a better accuracy, previous experience is still th3 strongest factor.
Redlining at 5 MPH in 1st gear, 15 in 2nd, 35 in 3rd, 50 in 4th and sitting like 12 inches off the ground made driving a 5 speed Geo Metro to the sandwhich shop and back feel like doing a lap of the Monaco GP.
bro redline at 5 mph i have 2008 Suzuki marhut 4 speed manual that redlines the first gear at 13 mph bruh 28 at 2nd gear the car only have 3 cylinder 800 cc that gives 43 HP engine
Kinda depends, actually. If everyone drove sports cars, more woul get more accustomed to be lower to the road and at least be better able to *handle* more speed. These crossovers tend to have so much ride height that the worst arses in town drive Nissan Muranoes, no kidding. Basically they have no clue what's going on, just 'feel slow.'
@@OllamhDrab It also ties in to their personally acceptable levels of perceived safety. SUV's make people feel safe, and they tend to drive more recklessly until they're back in that band of perceived safety. Just like when you slow down because you feel unsafe. It's a lot more than just ride height.
Dude I drive a 06 Yaris hatch with the 1L, 3 cylinder 😂 Just let it warm up and 2nd gear is potent af with 6.5k rev limit and 50mph top end and man it feels good, tho I personally have never gone to 50 in 2nd or hit the Rev limiter
James May stated that after driving the Veyron at top speed he nearly opened the door while coasting at 70 mph. After going over 250 mph, his perception of speed was severely altered.
It’s like when you’re on a road trip and you’ve been driving the speed limit for several hours. Then after stopping for gas/restroom, once you start driving again, it feels like you’re crawling until you get back up to speed.
I constantly do 180 km/h on the highway for 1-2 hours, and when i go back to the speed limit of 130 because the waze tells me a cop is nearby i feel like i am going 50. And then dropping down to 60km/h to take and exist feels like 20 km/h. It's insane.
i guess its like practicing with a heavier bat or with 2 bats so that going back to the normal one feels lighter and easier but just done unintentionally and bad
Hell yeah!!! I’m putting glass packs on all 3 of my cars! One is a 7.7L 472 ci big block v8 375hp 500tq!! The other 2 are 4.6L 279 ci all aluminum N*’s 320hp 315tq and 275hp 300tq respectively.

Good to know about context altering our perception of speed. It reminded me of how, years ago, in World of Warcraft, I found flying mounts way more fun when flying low. Now it makes sense that when flying higher up at the same speed, it felt really slow because I had all the context of where I was coming from and going to. Flying close to the ground at the same speed felt way faster. Cool how it rings true even in a case like that.
Just one criticism of your testing (for future reference). By giving direct feedback, saying what the actual speed was, after each guess you guys were adding a correction factor to the test. i.e. when a subject knows their error the subject can adjust to account for their perceived error and adjust their guesses to factor it (e.g. "Hmm, I think we're doing 50 but I was off by 10 last time so i'll guess 60"). This also means there was likely an element of practice too meaning which ever car was tested first will inevitably have a larger error that the second vehicle. If doing a blind test like that, don't give feedback, just look at the data afterwards.
I hope we see Joey more, felt bad when he had to apologize you guys really laid into him back then:/ The mans got a passion just like the rest of the guys and girls at Donut, and although the show wasn’t perfect I enjoyed it truthfully, Joey if you read this we love you man!

@ElLocoGeronimo it got cancelled because a lot of people were sad that the car they preferred didn't win. I really feel bad for the dude because it was *his* opinion, but even tho he decided to cut the part where we says who is the overall winner, people still unnecessarily complained.
When I was a vehicle tester, these were some of the most important factors we had to grade. Because regardless of how a vehicle performs, consumer satisfaction heavily relies on the *feel* of the drive. A total clunker could still be a fan favorite if it feels smooth or fast enough.
I think that the phenomena due to the lower riding height is due to the fact that you're closer to the ground so the 'movement' of the floor relative to you seems greater. Compare that to riding in a plane, you're super far from the area you're traveling across but you're traveling at high speeds. I think that concept applies to higher vehicles vs lower vehicles
The answer is simple. People having a fisheye lens/optics. It is distorted like a barrel roll effect. And you have a motion blur effect due to low data updates. It helps in speed detection. Since you have to watch in straight line while driving, you will have issues with blur due optics. While object is far from you AND you reaching it for long period - it will feels like driving slow If object is closer to a viewer, and changes fast - it will feels like a fast moving pace. Also, we have a phenomena of "constant speed", it is a brain "energy saving" issue. In a very short terms, brain don't want to process info every single second. The moment when everything around you stills the same - brain skips, no needs in updates. But, our brain is trained to detect changes in environment, and very fast processing it. Like: Drive 5-7mph, and then instantly go 20-30mph - brain will instantly say "wow, danger, stop!" But the same thing - for a high speeds. Drive 100mph for a 1 minute, it will be "stop!". Drive 5-10mins - it will be like 40mph. But the moment you will reduce speed from 100 to 40 - instantly feels like 5mph... But that's only while looking straight forward. Look to sides, and bang, you will know actual speed. Also try the same with looking straight down on a road from a passenger seat.
I did this in a shooter game, had the same movement speed for my character but I modified the height, from 6ft2 to 7ft2 the diff was insane in terms of speed
Poor Joey! All he did was being a fan boy xD I mean I didn’t like the show either but I didn’t like the whole concept and felt actually kinda bad for him.
Let's keep it a buck. The only reason his show was cancelled was because he felt Bugatti was a better company than Koenigsegg after that everything he did was heavily criticised for little to no reason. Honestly I like Bugatti more but for different reasons than he specified but I give him mad respect for being able to say there was a winner rather than just leaving it as a tie then saying u decide on the comment section however I feel no matter what so long as he said Bugatti was better there'd be a huge dislike ratio on the vid
Very interesting. In my S5, I drive slower in dynamic than in comfort mode because I feel every bit of the road. More aggressive shifts and exhaust crackling remind me to let up early because I feel like I'm hauling ass. In comfort mode, the powerband isn't as aggressive, but the smoothness of it creeps up so quick. The road is plush and the shifts are seamless. Very easy to hit 60 in a 45 unintentionally.
@@Churroboyyy Now you see, In many *(More like... almost or all)* of the episodes of their series; "Vs" *(A show from months ago about a comparison between two contenders of either Cars or Engines or Drivers, or etc.)* that guy is saying things that are either misinforming or "biased" or any other mistaken stuffs... and all of people who watch it, are so very mad at him, so that series received awful amounts of hate... so much hate that the show is cancelled.

Omg, so true, I always see middle-aged ladies often even with disabled placards in the window flying like 30 over the speed limit in those newer raised crossover type cars
@@nodsib my mom is that lady I always say to her “your car feels way slower than it is”. One time I turned onto the highways from her house going like 20kmh floored it to 120kmh she didn’t even notice just kept looking at her phone 😂
Golf cart drivers too. In my neighborhood those mfers are out to kill or be killed, stop signs aren’t required or even recommended, but just a mild suggestion for those geezers who think they’re still 20.
And this is why Subaru WRX STI are still so popular to this day, despite their engine having 280 HP. It just feels like you're going so fast while only at 40 mph, on the highway, you feel like you're driving a speed demon. But honestly it isn't going over the speed limit, just feel like a high-end luxury sport vehicle.

The show wasn't perfect but it wasn't his hosting, it was the shows formula. It was to biased which made people who disagreed annoyed. If they re did that and then left it up to us to vote in the comments and then told us the results at the beginning of the next episode it would have been awesome
@@NickolitheSpartan117 agreed. I like that at the end they stopped having the points and just showed how the cars or whatever differed and didn't draw a conclusion so that the viewer could decide which they liked better. If that had done that from the beginning it might still be around
When I'm going very fast I tend to notice that all the active thinking gets deactivated and much happens from muscle memory etc, also when close calls or sliding out (on a motorcycle) happen everything is slowed down a lot to a point where I've had way more time to react precisely than when I rewatch it on the video, its an interesting phenomenon
But I think that this happens because there is no right focus in the videos, the whole image is in focus and we are the ones who see where we want to focus, when we review our own accidents. It's the same thing as when I record videos riding a motorcycle and sometimes I look at people's faces and in the video you can't tell that I'm looking at the person, etc.
As a fellow Mechanical Engineer, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and gladto see you guys are sort of going the myth busters testing route. Bring science to the people 🙌🏾
Yeah?

Or even the anti-lowered driveways that were designed to humiliate all RWD cars just to park. Like I saw a proper setup M3 with no tints running in our home avenue, EDSA, bouncing like hell and the poor passenger's hilarious to look at while travelling 40KPH (not MPH) along with other cars.

Thanks for sharing this! Super interesting. Went from driving an Xterra to an XB and I have to be sooooo f’n careful on the freeway. On a good day I’ll hit 50 on the on ramp and be breaking 80 by the time I merge. Like how?! Still trying to wrap my brain around the info dump here and how driving a smaller car has made me speed racer. I never experienced this driving around in the Xterra. In like 15 years of having one I got one speeding ticket - and that was due to being in an unknown area and driving into a school zone. Every time I take the XB out I legit feel like I’m in a go cart. Crazy what a difference size, weight and acceleration play.
Kinda reminds me of the scene from initial D during the battle with that black r32. I can't remember the exact quote but Takumi told his dad he needed glasses and so they went to get his eyes checked, only to find out that Takumi had perfect vision. Bunta lashed out at him but Takumi reasoned saying that when he drives everything felt slower and slower. And that's when it hits him, that his son was actually getting faster and faster.
So that's the reason all of the people in pickups drive like idiots on the highway, they FEEL like they are going 60 when they're actually going 75. Isn't that right.
@@xm210c That’s kinda a dumb answer considering they probably chose the larger tires. A better answer would be to explain the only reason that should be is the wrong size tires and to just keep the difference in mind. They also can be adjusted or replaced with other speed sensors depending on the vehicle. People who want big tires want big tires. I think it’s dumb on a daily after a certain point. To be 10mph off, they’re probably pretty big.
@Warm Soft Kitty Because it feels like a proper driver's car. My father has a restored 1970 ford mustang mach 1 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that my car is faster than his in a straight line and in cornering. Sure there is a 40+ years difference but why would anybody buy the Mach 1? Nostalgia.

@@yahirestrada9425 my 5.2 Ram also was loud af when I ran just longtube headers with extensions for a week. Fun, but terrible at the same time drone at 40-50mph cruising was HORRIBLE (But 60-75 was actually not all that bad, actually). When I had it straightpiped for a week just because, it was loud, tho still quieter than I expected (after hearing other straightpiped 2nd gens), but it definitely sounded like ass, and that very much was expected. Got a high quality set-up now, and even with a stock cam, worn stock timing chain, and cylinder compression in the double digits on 5 cylinders, it still sounds mint af, tho it's not nearly as loud as it would be if at least the compression and timing chain were where they should be.
This is similar to how a car feels really fast after you throw a bunch of power at it but over time it feels like it is losing power when in reality it's just your brain adjusting to all the new inputs and the power level is actually staying the same.
I do quite a lot of Simracing and it is so true and so fascinating to notice that the better you get to know the car and the track (and I mean hundrerds of laps and many hours in) everything seems to go slower, but you are actually going faster.
*_This also is a way to make your car feel faster_* More low to the ground means, feels faster, also, if you remove sound protection, it will feel faster aswell. Drive a go cart, drive one normally, then drive one that’s been lifted up.

@@ReclusiveRychu true 😂 in my Mazda 5 speed, if anyone goes over 70 I'm like "damn why is everyone flying today". Although my Subaru is a 4 speed auto and still does great at 70-80. That torque converter really helps with taller gear ratios is the other factor.
Had this feeling when I went from a BMW 530D to the Subaru WRX STI. With the BMW I would cruise at 220 on the Autobahn and be completely relaxed, While the STI felt like I was going twice as fast at 200.

The problem with the blindfold test is I doubt you're actually "sensing" what speed you're traveling-since, as you mentioned earlier in the video, you can't feel speed. I'd imagine what's happening in the blindfold experiment is that you're feeling the car accelerate and you're remembering the intensity and duration of that acceleration and matching that up mentally with your past experience with acceleration, same thing with deceleration. So the blindfold test is probably more of a mental equation than a "body sensation". Also, a car with stiffer suspension will let you feel more of the imperfections of the road at speed, which will also give you a pretty good idea of how fast you're traveling. Not because of the speed itself, but because your body knows what going over a bump in the road at 15 mph feels like vs 60 mph. So, it stands to reason that a stiffer suspension would be more accurate in the blindfold test.
You can feel speed if there's no obstruction, or hear it based on wind sound, usually greater speed equals louder wind noise
that is the point of the test.
.. it would be a big diff if they did a blind driving test stick,only seeing the tachometer and hearing the engine and so forth …. But that’s a death trap
First, feeling the car shacking is exactly how you feel the speed. The faster you go, the more unstable it feels.
Second, accuracy depends more on personal experience, because your senses are calibrated based of that. While more bumpiness can allow a better accuracy, previous experience is still th3 strongest factor.

So if everyone drives a sports car we’re more likely to collectively drive slower? Interesting
Kinda depends, actually. If everyone drove sports cars, more woul get more accustomed to be lower to the road and at least be better able to *handle* more speed. These crossovers tend to have so much ride height that the worst arses in town drive Nissan Muranoes, no kidding. Basically they have no clue what's going on, just 'feel slow.'
@@OllamhDrab It also ties in to their personally acceptable levels of perceived safety. SUV's make people feel safe, and they tend to drive more recklessly until they're back in that band of perceived safety. Just like when you slow down because you feel unsafe. It's a lot more than just ride height.

James May stated that after driving the Veyron at top speed he nearly opened the door while coasting at 70 mph. After going over 250 mph, his perception of speed was severely altered.
If 70 mph feels slow in a normal car, imagine in a Bugatti
It’s like when you’re on a road trip and you’ve been driving the speed limit for several hours. Then after stopping for gas/restroom, once you start driving again, it feels like you’re crawling until you get back up to speed.
Yes. This is so weird. After cruising in 120km/h for half an hour, 70/80 km/h feels like 30😂😂
I constantly do 180 km/h on the highway for 1-2 hours, and when i go back to the speed limit of 130 because the waze tells me a cop is nearby i feel like i am going 50. And then dropping down to 60km/h to take and exist feels like 20 km/h. It's insane.

Good to know about context altering our perception of speed. It reminded me of how, years ago, in World of Warcraft, I found flying mounts way more fun when flying low. Now it makes sense that when flying higher up at the same speed, it felt really slow because I had all the context of where I was coming from and going to. Flying close to the ground at the same speed felt way faster. Cool how it rings true even in a case like that.
Just one criticism of your testing (for future reference). By giving direct feedback, saying what the actual speed was, after each guess you guys were adding a correction factor to the test. i.e. when a subject knows their error the subject can adjust to account for their perceived error and adjust their guesses to factor it (e.g. "Hmm, I think we're doing 50 but I was off by 10 last time so i'll guess 60"). This also means there was likely an element of practice too meaning which ever car was tested first will inevitably have a larger error that the second vehicle.
If doing a blind test like that, don't give feedback, just look at the data afterwards.

I think that the phenomena due to the lower riding height is due to the fact that you're closer to the ground so the 'movement' of the floor relative to you seems greater. Compare that to riding in a plane, you're super far from the area you're traveling across but you're traveling at high speeds. I think that concept applies to higher vehicles vs lower vehicles
The answer is simple.
People having a fisheye lens/optics. It is distorted like a barrel roll effect.
And you have a motion blur effect due to low data updates. It helps in speed detection.
Since you have to watch in straight line while driving, you will have issues with blur due optics.
While object is far from you AND you reaching it for long period - it will feels like driving slow
If object is closer to a viewer, and changes fast - it will feels like a fast moving pace.
Also, we have a phenomena of "constant speed", it is a brain "energy saving" issue.
In a very short terms, brain don't want to process info every single second.
The moment when everything around you stills the same - brain skips, no needs in updates.
But, our brain is trained to detect changes in environment, and very fast processing it. Like:
Drive 5-7mph, and then instantly go 20-30mph - brain will instantly say "wow, danger, stop!"
But the same thing - for a high speeds.
Drive 100mph for a 1 minute, it will be "stop!". Drive 5-10mins - it will be like 40mph.
But the moment you will reduce speed from 100 to 40 - instantly feels like 5mph...
But that's only while looking straight forward. Look to sides, and bang, you will know actual speed.
Also try the same with looking straight down on a road from a passenger seat.
I did this in a shooter game, had the same movement speed for my character but I modified the height, from 6ft2 to 7ft2 the diff was insane in terms of speed
Yup. This is why the Civic EF hatch is so popular; when you can see the ground 3 feet in front of your bumper, everything feels fast.
Yeah like I was going 130mph on a train a few weeks ago and it felt like not faster than 60

yeah he didnt need to apologize :( i felt bad as well
I liked the show tho....but I knew it won't last long
My thoughts exactly. People are being too mean to Joey. Seems like a cool guy just like everyone who works at Donut.
Let's keep it a buck. The only reason his show was cancelled was because he felt Bugatti was a better company than Koenigsegg after that everything he did was heavily criticised for little to no reason. Honestly I like Bugatti more but for different reasons than he specified but I give him mad respect for being able to say there was a winner rather than just leaving it as a tie then saying u decide on the comment section however I feel no matter what so long as he said Bugatti was better there'd be a huge dislike ratio on the vid
Seems like a cool guy it just was the right show
Very interesting.
In my S5, I drive slower in dynamic than in comfort mode because I feel every bit of the road. More aggressive shifts and exhaust crackling remind me to let up early because I feel like I'm hauling ass.
In comfort mode, the powerband isn't as aggressive, but the smoothness of it creeps up so quick. The road is plush and the shifts are seamless. Very easy to hit 60 in a 45 unintentionally.

When I'm going very fast I tend to notice that all the active thinking gets deactivated and much happens from muscle memory etc, also when close calls or sliding out (on a motorcycle) happen everything is slowed down a lot to a point where I've had way more time to react precisely than when I rewatch it on the video, its an interesting phenomenon
But I think that this happens because there is no right focus in the videos, the whole image is in focus and we are the ones who see where we want to focus, when we review our own accidents.
It's the same thing as when I record videos riding a motorcycle and sometimes I look at people's faces and in the video you can't tell that I'm looking at the person, etc.

Thanks for sharing this! Super interesting. Went from driving an Xterra to an XB and I have to be sooooo f’n careful on the freeway. On a good day I’ll hit 50 on the on ramp and be breaking 80 by the time I merge. Like how?! Still trying to wrap my brain around the info dump here and how driving a smaller car has made me speed racer. I never experienced this driving around in the Xterra. In like 15 years of having one I got one speeding ticket - and that was due to being in an unknown area and driving into a school zone. Every time I take the XB out I legit feel like I’m in a go cart. Crazy what a difference size, weight and acceleration play.
Kinda reminds me of the scene from initial D during the battle with that black r32. I can't remember the exact quote but Takumi told his dad he needed glasses and so they went to get his eyes checked, only to find out that Takumi had perfect vision. Bunta lashed out at him but Takumi reasoned saying that when he drives everything felt slower and slower.
And that's when it hits him, that his son was actually getting faster and faster.
Please go watch the actual anime :')
That netflix version was hard to watch after the original.
@@shaneme3 yeah I was gonna say i've seen the anime a few times and that bit is definitely not in it..
Wait what stage is that? I don't remember it
what the fuck did you see
This was in the live action adaptation lol
So that's the reason all of the people in pickups drive like idiots on the highway, they FEEL like they are going 60 when they're actually going 75. Isn't that right.
I get passed by lifted jeeps doing 90mph all the time. Like death wish much?
I am a victim of this the trucks with big a** tires mess with the speedometer mine is 10 mph off so from doing 70 actually doing 80 really confusing 😅
@@flexnlexus129 Put the right tires on that the vehicle is rated for and speedometer is calibrated for.

That’s kinda a dumb answer considering they probably chose the larger tires. A better answer would be to explain the only reason that should be is the wrong size tires and to just keep the difference in mind. They also can be adjusted or replaced with other speed sensors depending on the vehicle.
People who want big tires want big tires. I think it’s dumb on a daily after a certain point. To be 10mph off, they’re probably pretty big.
Well 90 is 70 in Texas
The FRS is Slow
My Heart: What did you just say?!
My Brain: Shut up! He's got a point
As an 86 enthusiast I can't deny this
@Warm Soft Kitty Because it feels like a proper driver's car. My father has a restored 1970 ford mustang mach 1 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that my car is faster than his in a straight line and in cornering. Sure there is a 40+ years difference but why would anybody buy the Mach 1? Nostalgia.
@Warm Soft Kitty No Mach 1 ever came with a v6.
@@carlmanu Totally agreed. It's just fun to drive.
I beat an frs in my dad's dodge caravan 😂
This kind of explains why when I'm driving to work at 10 over in my car there's almost always some new suv or truck behind me trying to eat my bumper.
Donut Media... I'm an aspiring professional racing driver currently in Formula 4, and I just came across the biggest piece of information for me moving forward - and it definitely wasnt about what makes a slow car feel fast.
Thank you for this video guys... Wow.
Sheesh how young do you have to be to get into that? Hope you can make it to formula 1!
At 60 my 4Runner feels like it’s entering the earth’s atmosphere, shaking and screaming including sometimes
Edit: My right front brake caliper fucked itself so it was literally jammed shut so the wheel would barely turn, that caused the shaking
55 in my wrangler is squirrely 70 feels like a death wish
I drive an old 94 ranger 4x4, i know the feeling. All original suspension, lol
you probably bought one with frame damage then.. because my dads 4runner cruises 95 stable as my rs7
Anytime i went like around that speed and even 30 mph on a uhaul v8 it felt like i was going really fast.
I drive a flatbed tow truck for work and 65 mph feels like I'm going to hurdle through the space time continum
Lol poor Joey. I actually thought he got fired.
Joe, we didn’t hate you, just the format of your show. It was almost designed to make people angry.
wait what i dont get it
@@08spencer dont get it either. His show is so informative with theory and real world.
@@dozyproductionss yeah, I can see that. But just the versus format I think just pissed off too many viewers
When Vtec kicks in :)
Same with motorcycles
Ive driven 50-110cc scooters and feels like you are about to die at 30mph
While my yamaha mt09, driving below 60mph feels boring
And earplugs make a huge difference, 100 feels like a 60.

BRZ owners watching this: 👁💧👄💧👁
Brz owners are not watching this. They are to busy vaping.
Was looking for this comment 😂

I remember my cousin driving me in a Daewoo Matiz without a windshield
I hear cars with loud exhausts that sound like they are haulin' ass but then when I look at them, I realize they aren't going that fast at all. 🤷♂️
Like a 90's golf with a 3" exhaust...
Lmaoo me asf with my 5.9 durango exhuast cut off its loud as shit but slo😂
Every honda civic ever. Lol
@@yahirestrada9425 my 5.2 Ram also was loud af when I ran just longtube headers with extensions for a week. Fun, but terrible at the same time drone at 40-50mph cruising was HORRIBLE (But 60-75 was actually not all that bad, actually).
When I had it straightpiped for a week just because, it was loud, tho still quieter than I expected (after hearing other straightpiped 2nd gens), but it definitely sounded like ass, and that very much was expected. Got a high quality set-up now, and even with a stock cam, worn stock timing chain, and cylinder compression in the double digits on 5 cylinders, it still sounds mint af, tho it's not nearly as loud as it would be if at least the compression and timing chain were where they should be.
effspot 👀
This is similar to how a car feels really fast after you throw a bunch of power at it but over time it feels like it is losing power when in reality it's just your brain adjusting to all the new inputs and the power level is actually staying the same.
Love the new direction for this series. Much like in Money Pit, the more practical info (as opposed to theoretical) we receive, the better. Nice job!
I do quite a lot of Simracing and it is so true and so fascinating to notice that the better you get to know the car and the track (and I mean hundrerds of laps and many hours in) everything seems to go slower, but you are actually going faster.
3:58 “You might remember me from my show “VS” and if you do, I’m sorry.” 💀
Me in my 05 forester: im so fast
Forester: 0-60 eventually
*_This also is a way to make your car feel faster_*
More low to the ground means, feels faster, also, if you remove sound protection, it will feel faster aswell. Drive a go cart, drive one normally, then drive one that’s been lifted up.
A Go Kart ran me over at 40MPH... RIP my left hand ;-;
