  1. ok, i checked... the 'bu should be about 300 lbs less than this... GM needs to put this engine in all midsize vehicles. it will push the highway mileage bar up, and prolly have no peers in city or highway ratings (for the 'Bu)
  2. would you rather us suggest the only other player of chip makers.... VIA?!!! lol is it really disgusting to even mention there's only 2 real chip players... Intel and AMD.. and AMD also makes video cards... Intel is going to try their hand at it in the next year... we'll wait and see how well they pull it off though. would this be comparable if only T and H made cars and ~80% of everyone drove a T, would you also ridicule H drivers? LOL
  3. Happy birthday.
  4. renaming or truely no more? or maybe just a decontenting for ...the last year?
  5. it would be mostly a waste of money, but to bad they didn't stick the 6speeds in this thing. say goodbye to the best quality of work in a car with some flair... right, Oshawa has the best...hours/car....? hopefully great things are just around the corner...but not likely.
  6. so compared to the malibu... how different are they in weight and final drive ratios? couldn't the malibu theoretically have a 35 highway number with this engine....?
  7. if the 4 can get better than expected, maybe the 6 will hit 26 highway... nothing big but when it's a numbers game, every bit helps. edit they wouldn't have to detune the 3L for the 2 mode would they?... that would great just to see what would be possible with that.
  8. just a comparison of xfired 4770 vs a 4890. http://en.expreview.com/2009/04/28/first-l...enchmark.html/4 beats the 4890 in all their tests, might not at higher resolutions though, >1900x1200. the 4770s only have higher power consumption under low to idle loads.
  9. I'd say that's pretty good. I think the main advantages AMD have are that it's typically cheaper for roughly the same performance and their Am2/+/3 setup will be around for atleast another year...Intel's 775 processors are at the end of thier life cycles, the i5 isn't out yet to take it's place, even though i'm sure the i5 will still kick amd's 2 and 3 core processors easily. The 4770 is a great value, typically beats the 4830 and about the same price, comes close to the 4850 while being cheaper and using less power.
  10. nice camino
  11. the 3L should fit well in a kappa, right? HP of the 2.0L T but cheaper...? GM just needs to find out what they want to do with it.. scraping it is not a good idea, i think.
  12. just looked at it... extensive history on "power" just quickly looking through it, just found 1 typo on the HP the 2010 3.6L has.... it reads 380. more like 280. overall, quite nice. are you trying to "market" this website, and if so, what do you hope to achieve? just informing the public, or more or less a history/business case for how buick is/ can be more succesful?
  13. hope you never lose it in a snowdrift.
  14. if it came here, it better have a 6speed and no less than 250hp. unless economy can be significantly improved by dropping down to....~230...?
  15. it's actually not bad, other than how tall the grill/front is/looks. I have little to truly complain about just from the pics you put on here.
  16. LOL!!!!
  17. Heard on the radio a day or 2 ago.... how do atheists state their unbelief in a god, without mention of god? just curious...
  18. i've thought about that... the constitution does say no state shall enter into a confederacy, alliance..such and such... attacking ft Sumter wasn't smart either. they'd have to ...vote on it, i guess, succeed, then do what they want....being hostile at all to the remaining states would not be smart.
  19. Happy birthday!
  20. i only have month to month debt on 1 credit card... but it gets paid off.
  21. I do think the sky looks better than the solstice....

    My First Ride

    i had one of those.. but it was creme and obviously not a "GN clone". I so would love to do something like this, after i find another car to do it to.
  23. Happy birthday guys!
  24. it's only wrong in the link... it corrects it on the page
  25. spending it with my family... per normal. it'll be nice, food will be awesome.
