    Glad to hear Jay still sees 130K as " a lot of money".....

    • @siddiqahmad5193
      @siddiqahmad5193 6 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      Not really. He realized after a microsecond or two that his viewers aren't likely as flush as he is.

      Justin Snow it's actually a damn good deal

    • @siddiqahmad5193
      @siddiqahmad5193 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Agreed. But, point is it's more than a little presumptuous to suggest that $130K isn't alot of loot. More than a few people would likely disagree. To Jay it's money he'd find in his sofa cushions; not the balance of his viewing audience IMO.

    • @caspercaspian
      @caspercaspian 6 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      FSI: Fuel Stratified Injection. It's where fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber in a way that reserves power, but increasing efficiency by about 15%. It was made popular by Volkswagen, and their forced induction engines by means of turbocharging. That's where you get TFSI, which is the same with the addition of the word turbo.

    • @BrianBoniMakes
      @BrianBoniMakes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The Audi guy says it's faster but is it really? Maybe between two race car drivers on a track but to a guy who buys this and can barely drive to start with it's just a convenience to not burn out clutches and stall it in traffic. To somebody who can drive it's a way more expensive and heavy and complex transmission that may get you a few milliseconds if you ever track it.

    • @MICHGO1

      When manuals are offered people don't buy them. Those same people then piss and moan when the manual is no longer offered.

    • @BrianBoniMakes
      @BrianBoniMakes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The last Porsche offered with only a manual transmission sold out in days and used ones are selling now for more than the list price of the new car.

    • @Zeenithian
      @Zeenithian 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brian Boni He said when manuals are offered as in both auto and manual. And when a car does offer both, its true that people dont buy them. Obviously manual only cars will sell if it's the only thing offered.

  • @mattmchugh5661

  • @urbanpope

    Jay, I am amazed at your shop. I can say that your shop is better equipped than Cal Fire's for the fire bombers in Sacramento. Back in the day, we ran the radial engine power S-2s which were Navy carrier planes tasked to hunt Soviet submarines. It was always a thrill to run those Wright 1820s to 54 inches of manifold pressure. The noise and vibration shook the body's organs. The 1820s had the largest production pistons for radial engines.

    So rite on the rear wheel drive but the Quattro setup is amazing especially back in the day the great thing was when it was on the fly so u had the best in both worlds i loved there 5 cylinder GT coupes in the mid 90s i could buy them at the auctions for around a grand and my first a 1990 90 Quattro it was perfect bbs wheels no one had intrest so i paid like $700 bucks and we had a crazy snow storm like a couple days later i already was into VWs but that car drove incredible in the snow and since that car ive been a fan i wish i could buy them that cheap now but atleast i got to experience them i love this rear wheel drive gotta be a drifters dream another great video thanks Jay

      Anthony Gatley Crazy to think that over 20 years later the F1 is STILL the fastest car in his collection, and by a wide margin! There's a 16 cylinder Volkswagen with 4 turbos that was a few mph quicker (when it wasn't in the background of rap videos) but the F1 is still undisputed as the fastest all motor car on the planet. I'm dying to see what's going on with Jay's car!

      Depends on the red and how thick the stripe is. Every micron counts.

Could you please check out the RS7? I find them fascinating, or the Jetta that VW is taking to Bonneville.

      Because it's a normally aspirated , rear wheel drive, two seater. That just screams for a manual gearbox.

    • @Crono992
      @Crono992 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They obviously could, but concerning whether they should, that's been answered by it not being offered. "Enthusiast" consumers often project that they want a stick, but when it comes to actual sales, the bluff is exposed.

  • @MattManProductions
    @MattManProductions 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You know about 15 years ago, I have a working prototype and sketch of a actuated exhaust that would go from sleeper mode (silent mode) to full (loud mode) and I'm glad to see that car manufacturer are doing "tunes" on the exhaust 👍 to bad I didn't patent it 🤷‍♂️, never thought it would be something that anyone would want... Oh well

      Juan Villegas the car is marketed at enthusiasts with the rear wheel drive and being naturally aspirated. Give them a stick too and it will compete with GT3s of the world
