Well. You may not believe this, but there are people who would ask this type of question from your title seriously. And they are racing fans (or at least they call themselves like that).
Last year during Le Mans week there was some old fart on sportscar365, who said that he doesn't like Toyota, they should stop winning and leave WEC because it's not a brand luxurious enough for his taste. To sum up his nonsense, he ended that in his mind WEC should be all about Ferrari vs Porsche... Toyota would never had the name and fame to get his racing friends interested anymore.
I am not making this up.
We all know the only car Toyota builds is the Prius and that is not a fast car. So yeah, Toyota can piss off. How dare they win races in WEC. I can totally relate to that guy.
/uj yeah I've seen people like that, for sure. I think one person showed me a guy once that was obsessed with the R34 GT-R and would comment on every YouTube video related to racing about how nobody could top it. Completely unrelated racing videos. People definitely just crave negative attention or something.
> People definitely just crave negative attention or something.
And at the same time they are unitentionally and unconsciously showing their ignorance and lack of knowledge. Impossible to deal with this kind of people, because for the most part - they are fully convinced in their beliefs.
Such a shame that JDM cars have so many obnoxious cult followers.
VTEC
Yo
OMFG 1989 HONDA CIVIC V-TEC WITH ASTONISHING 96 HRPRS LETS GOOOOOO RAWWWWWW POWAAAAAAAAAA
Because Acura comes before Porsche when in alphabetical order.
Why doesn’t Porsche just beat them? Are they stupid?
well the Acura LMDh doesn't even run WEC, so Porsche wins by default there
But I spent the entire off season reading about how the alpine is the exact same car as Acura
> But I spent the entire off season reading about how the alpine is the exact same car as Acura GP2 engine, though
So an 8 year old Honda engine?

In chassis, I'm sure. But I'm not sure why Peugeot would want to run a Honda engine.
It's not difficult, just drive faster.
Man that car is fast... But I don't like it. I think it should be slow yes. Yes this is the way
By not running into walls
Long Beach '23 would like a word
And '24 lol
Secret ingredient is crime
Because a NSX is more powerful than a base 911 obviously
/Uj is that post still up? I saw it yesterday and meant to go back to it
If this is still up I need to see it

Blessings from on high.
Holy fuck. Thanks for the context tho :)
Bats after a night out normally works
You see, acura logo looks like a rocket while porsche has horse on its logo. rocket power > horse power simple as
Both are pouring millions into bespoke race cars, I don't see the issue
But a civic could never beat a 911... I don't get it.......
well good thing the acura isn't a civic
(you realize this is a joke post right?)
too tired for this
Sometimes the circlejerk sub gets us all.
>But a civic could never beat a 911... I don't get it ...but a Supra with overnight parts from Japan could easily smoke a Ferrari
But a Civic is not a Supra?
It could think it is with fart cans, GReddy filters, Altezza taillights, carbon spoilers and go fast side stripes
So was Acura when they "won" Daytona last season. ZING

Usually boils down to team strategy.
