Easily it's the rivalry between Ford vs Chevrolet. The Mustang vs Camaro. Just look how the 1st Camaro was announced to the world. On a worldwide call were it was said to be a small vicious animal that destroys Mustang.
Whenever I first started driving my WRX I’d see evos and they would literally wave to me or honk their horn to say hi. Since then I’ve been doing the same whenever I see a Evo
@@jackp8022 Overrated??...Okay, yeah, your right. Still doesnt mean it still lives up to its hype. Its dying out due to new big numbers and new technology but it is a true legend. I think its overrated due to the F&F fanboys who arent car guys and only recognize the JZ so they think its the best engine in the world.
There’s so many good rivalries in the car world- Ford vs Chevy, WRX vs Evo, Ferrari vs Lamborghini, James Hunt vs Nikki Lauda,but I’m gonna say the two greatest rivalries are Ford vs Ferrari and Senna vs Prost in F1
I'm a VW boi, but GTI and VW in general has fallen behind the curve. The GTI was at one point THE car to beat, but we're well past that. Maybe VWs new 2.5 vr6t could find a place in a golf and change that fact tho 🤔
@@jakubkujawa695 GTI on 8th generation. A tune on a GTI makes it more powerful than the type R. Similar to the 911, the GTI is the benchmark. So while there are other faster cars than the 911 and GTI all others in their class are measured to these 2 benchmark cars. Like the Ford Focus ST and RS, The Subaru STI hatches have all been crushed by VW. i'm hopeful for the Veloster N, but I doubt Honda makes many more type Rs. Their other option the si is an underpowered bore.
One thing all electric cars have in common... Lack of uniqueness, and personality. No sound, no fuel smell, etc. As a car enthusiast I enjoy and look forward to my jouney when it comes to upgrading, making more power, and constantly altering the car. That's exciting! No one wants to watch electric cars at the strip all day or around a track all day long. Can you imagine drifting with literately no sound other than tires screeching? I'll just continue to drive my E85 Evo and premix my Two stroke Dirt bike 🤙
Import Vs Domestic from the early 2000s. What happened was social media. Things like Nopi, Import Tuner, American Muscle and other car magazines went digital and it all spiraled outta control from there.
The electric car trend saddens me… I don’t feel the electric cars offer much (if any) car culture. It’s based towards consumers rather than enthusiasts. Sure, you can throw on some aesthetic mods, but you’re severely limited on performance mods. The only possible benefit I can see is in gas engines stepping up their game just to compete with some of the more extreme examples of electric cars -but there are emission limitations there…
Yeah me too, and lots of manufactures have stopped development of gas engine and future technology. So chance of that happening are slim to none. It will be an all electric future I fear. But I will keep all 4 of the gas cars I own now and will drive them till day I die! I have 69 Cadillac sedan deville with 472 cubic inch big block with 4 barrel carb 375hp 500ft lbs tq. I have an 05 Cadillac STS4 1sg with 4.6L N* 320hp 315 ft lbs tq, I have an 05 Cadillac deville with 4.6L N* 275hp 300ft lbs tq and a 14 Cadillac ats 2.0T 272hp 260ft lbs tq. But I’m working on the ats and have bought lots of performance parts for her. This summer they get put on and she gets tune and e85 and should be 300hp at wheels and 280tq at the wheels. Eventually it will be 500hp at the rear wheels!
Maybe we're not seeing as much rivalry because SOMEONE wanted to pass a law preventing ICE cars from being produced and now we're just seeing the effects of that.
I wish rivalries would go back the way it is back in the 90's where engineers just go crazy with their work and the company owners just agreed that they'll limit the power of their cars, but these engineers were like smoking weed and then came up with a crazy idea of making the engine bullet proof that could handle as high as 1000hp then put the engine not just in the performance model but in their crossover and luxury cars too, but when it comes out of the gate those cars are detuned and the company just gives a smile and a nod to the aftermarket manufacturers
I’d say Merc vs Audi vs BMW is a huge rivalry right now. Also Porsche but they kinda only half compete with the others since they’re mostly focused on a different demographic. Another big rivalry will be the 400z vs the current supra. Also the civic Type R vs the golf R vs Hyundai Veloster N, and throw the wrx/STI in there even though it’s not a hatch. And there’s also the Mini Cooper vs VW beetle vs Fiat 500.
Car rivalries then: let’s see which of our best featured performance cars, makes the most power, accelerates the fastest, and handles the best compared to it’s competition. Car rivalries now: let’s see who can out-prius the prius!
Still the most talked about rivalry right now is basically JZs and RBs or Mark IV Supras vs GTR R34s. Heck even in countries that don't have those cars but are able to source the engines are also talking about it
My car rivaly? Altima vs Accord, but specifically the coups. It seems like I always get Coups on my tail whenever I drive spiritedly. Honda’s are my road going nemesis
Cadillac vs bmw and Cadillac is one of the last few manufactures that sells a manual transmission and is THE luxury manufacture that offers a manual. The ats 2.0t with 6speed manual is going to be worth some good money….
Please make a hoodie that says At The End Of The Day on it and make a logo of a sunset behind car of companys choosing. I feel like they would sell and I would certainly buy one
Man i miss the good old days when Saab and Volvo where at each others throat. If you wanted a sensible, safe family car or something more sporty and support the domestic industry in Sweden you ether got a Saab or Volvo with whole families picking sides.. What Saab vs Volvo was, was two companies fighting over who could build the safest car, in both sensible and sportier packages, i look back at the rivalry and remember it fondly, how some would even go as for as to not talk to those who drove “the other brand”, as someone on the Volvo side who grew up in a Volvo family I really miss Saab, Volvo lost one of it’s most important thing, the rival to keep them in check and race head to head in car safety development. I really don’t like how the Americans got involved, Ford and GM, the ruined so much and showed no respect for the Swedish way of doing things. But let’s not think of those two evil giants from Detroit, let’s look back at the rivalry. The 240, 740 vs 99, 90 The 740/760, 940/960 vs 900, 9000 The V70 vs 9-5 wagon Turbo vs Turbo T5 vs Aero/Viggen P2 R vs 9-5 Aero Hirsch/Turbo X 2.4 vs 2.0t 2.4T/2.5T vs 2.3t D5 vs TTiD
Lmao... No. Not at all lmao. 350/370z and Brz/Frs/GT86 are rivals. How could think a fwd honda is a rival to a rwd toyota. They are not comparable other then the fact that they both have 4 wheels smh
@@definitelynotak4228 They have the same power output (200hp) and nearly the same weights, ( sub 2900lbs) especially if you're going with the 8th gen coupe they're totally rivals, the only key difference is really their drivetrains (FWD or RWD) and spoiler the Honda is a bit faster (when modified). Take it from somebody who's owned and modded both. Plus the Z is heavier, faster, and has a bigger engine than both so you're kinda comparing in a different class.
Honestly, dodge v. Ford v. Chevy and the big bad v8s is still a big rivalry (and I do enjoy it :)).Chevys trying to be a better ev than Ford, and dodge is planning on making a better ev than Tesla (as far as I can tell).
i think the reason that **Nothing** is ever as big as it once was is because there's just way more stuff to do... and so much of the stuff that made those once popular things much greater in the past was that people haven't seen it before and there was MUCH less to do... in the 80s and 90s you either went to a club, played a sport, did your homework, or sat there bored. Today there's way too many video games, RU-vid, and nerd stuff everywhere so this generation is desensitized to everything and they have no expression on their face. This is the "boring" generation. all the movies already showed you everything. nothing surprises you. everythings been done and every stories been told. So much so that we are inventing cultural problems and enemies out of peace and boredom.
