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

    • @siddiqahmad5193
      @siddiqahmad5193 6 лет назад +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 лет назад +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 лет назад +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 лет назад +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.

      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 лет назад +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 лет назад +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.

    This car reminds me of my turbocharged 4 speed manual 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder with the engine in the rear. It had very good startup traction (but no directional stability). Because of the drive train in the rear over the drive wheels.

    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.

      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!

    @tygaz3061 4 года назад

    so glad to hear Jay mention the gated shifter... i think that any R8 with a gated shifter will be a collectable... the shifter fell outta favor in lieu of the paddle shifter cause its faster... BUT! as Jay was gonna say... all these exotics are fast but the Shifter is an experience unlike any other. Not everyone who buys these cars are about “the numbers”. Future collectors Will want a gated shifter not a paddle shifter.

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

      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.

      I agree it's a good deal at that price for what it is, but the car is still by no mean attainable. Value? Yes. Attainable? Hell no. Though the AMG GT is in this price bracket also and that's one hell of a car too.

    • @bugsbugmenot
      @bugsbugmenot 6 лет назад

      A car like that does not depreciate as rapidly as a regular one, because production numbers are limited and it is made of higher quality materials. If you take care of it and only put around ten thousand miles on it, you can sell it for 80-90% of the original retail price after a couple of years and in some cases you even make a nice profit.
