what will future Fast and Furious look like

Vin Diesel will have to change his name to Vin Megawatt. The quiet cars will make it easier to hear the Ludacris songs. And they’ll have to stop Charlize Theron from getting an EMP that could take down the global grid.

Combustion has never super been efficient, you can only get -50% efficiency in the best gas ICE.


To get 50% you need a modern F1 engine which have the highest thermal efficiency of any ICEs. Even very efficient engine designs in passenger cars are lucky to sniff 35%.

For me owning a pickup is like owning a boat, it is better to know someone with one than own one yourself.


A baw I know does it right. He has a nice F150 he parks at his office. Has a truck at his disposal whenever he needs it. Keeps the keys in it so whenever someone asks to borrow it he says sure thing go pick it up yourself and drop it off when you are done. Never has to deal with people borrowing his primary/only vehicle and no one is asking him to help because them getting the truck is independent of interacting face to face with him.


Or you could be my neighbor. Single baw. Has a daily jag sedan, a 986 Cayman and an early 2000s sierra.

Got all the bases covered.

Out of everyone you should be the most dis-heartened since the first of the R34s are now able to be imported into the United States. I blame Gran Turismo for my love for Gojira and it is effectively being shut down before we can celebrate it's greatness state-side.

At this point, I believe a lot of men have given thoughts to a "Killdozer."

I love the R34 and if space and money were unlimited I would have one already have one. But then again I would have a lot of wild shite.

Do you have a RB26DETT in your possession? I think I would do some felonious shite in order to get my hands on an unmolested R34.

I was inches away from copping an r32 4 years ago. Kind of regret but RHD in a LHD world gave me too much pause.

R34's are badass but the money is just wayyyyyy too much imo.

I know I am in the minority but r33s are by far my favorite of the big 3. Just captures that perfect 90s JDM look.

I am not saying I know all, nor am I trying to come across as a know it all, I think we both have valid points, a lot of money for hydrogen is coming from major corporations and national energy departments worldwide. But I would expect PE and VC to be heavy on lithium EV as that is what the American government, current administration's regulations, and "supposedly domestic" (in quotes lol) auto manufacturers are pushing hard right now. I will say to phase gas ICE out completely in the time periods they are claiming is not really practical imo.

@obtuse. You are correct in my opinion, which tbf most of the posts I have seen of yours have been educated.

We can go back to debating Vin Diesel Fast and Furious now and typical tOT shenanigans.
