  1. looks good, but the grill reminds me of the last Gen camry and from the pics up there, the corners of the rear bumper look fat.
  2. my 99 monte doesn't lock once in a while... i think it's related to my misfires the car has once in a while and rough idle associated with it... but it has unlocked a few times under cruise at 70which is kinda odd.
  3. let the sex on wheels comments commence! +1
  4. "this year"?... was this the year they had a rotor explode on one car, and had to fix damage to another car?
  5. bad paint job on the camaro though my city has a charger usually up the street from me.... it's good lookin.
  6. very nice everything but ... i'm not a person that likes all in one center stacks. very nice, clean, simple cluster. shifter = nice, no "tap shift"? steering wheel, very nice, hard to imagine an air bag behind that though.

    i "recieved" a 83 regal wagon, surely some people know that by now... got my license in '99. i can totally see someone giving their child a "starter car" , kinda old, mostly reliable, nothing too exciting, only for them to really get alot of experience behind the wheel at. but if i lived someplace remotely like NY with lots of walkers/masstransit, i'd prolly agree XP and SS
  8. the 3800 has a decently lower axle ratio... 3.05 the 3.6L has a 3.69 and super has just under a 3 according to buick.comit's sad that the 3.6L has that flatened torque curve from 2000rpm up to ...4.5k? just a slightly castrated engine.
  9. it might be faster than an '82 GN... first year it was available according to wikipedia with either a 4.1L or a turbo 3.8L.. if true, yes it'd be faster than the 4.1L for sure.

    sx-4 rival?

    when the improved 2.2L is supposed to be used in the 09 'balt, other than the g5 (if it's alive), will this engine be in more vehicles than delta immediately? hopefully it makes good numbers, and if BAS is still used, will be used instead of the 2.4L to get another point or 2 in combined mileage. anymore info on this topic?
  13. or just have a variable compression engine... like one prototype that catapillar made.
  14. i know there is a bike with a shaft driven wheel, and an 2wd version too. it uses an automatic gear change... pretty sure i heard about a near cvt bike too, chain driven.
  15. anyone notice it's allready 100 pages long? i don't think any of our non-lounge topics come anywhere close to that. i would think yota needs to say something about this before someone is injured, then a lawsuit could be flying their way.

    lookin good. very much a head turner. if i can afford a new car getting out of college, i'm excited about the camaro and the possibility of the "regal" looking this good.

    yeah, some stuff they push is easy, while some of it is "give up your glutenous habits". i don't watch it so much for the information, i think how he, his wife, and whoever else interact is entertaining.... to a point. but him vs bill nye out greening each other was just funny to me.
  18. the cadi stuff looks great, the pontiac is eh. i don't think the stereo/hvac control integration is good, i'm of the persuasion that aftermarket stereos will "always" be better than OEM. but as far as look goes, well done overall.
  19. barely off topic....is the 2.2DI going to kick out the 2.4 used in the BAS hybrids?

    show concept: Ed Bayglie (sp?) goes to people's houses and informs people how to be more "green" or just cut down on power usage. i've seen 2 episodes... the new one with bill nye and the one with Tiegs. i think anything is better with bill nye, he and Ed have a rivalry it seems, i found it hilarious. supply and demand... same supply, decrease the demand, decrease price. the economics of being greener is in cosumers' pocket book's interest, for a lot of things, not everything though.
  21. this has to save gm $$$ after these processes/eqiupment are put in place and working.
  22. woldn't pontiac comprise of 50% of the website?....roughly, just the top of my head.
  23. good looking lesabre. i've seen them on a new dts, a very chrome trimed out alero, over the wheel on a grand prix, i think. it's a sad trend...
  24. the ethanol hcci would take a different comp ratio to have this work, surely... aka different internals/head i don't think we'll see that here for a couple years after gas or diesel engines have it.get it working for bio diesel!!! heck, wouldn't hcci save trucking and train companies lots of money too?
