    I'm a tanqueray 10 man with the occasional Woodford Reserve or Tennessee Honey Well, would you look at that- something I agree with. Personally I will take red wine for every day drinking I love Mark Ryan wines. Sapphire or Hendricks for my Gin. Blue Label Johnny Walker for whiskey Dos Armadillos Extra Anejo Reserva for my Tequila Back on Subject, I still do not see a need for the over heavy over rated DOHC engines period.

    Lovely Cars you choose there. I understand everyone wanting the nastalgic V8 thing, but I have to give KUDOs to GM for their Performance Crate Motors with Auto or Manual 6 sp Transmissions. True Plug N Play!

    I really just want something a bit more up to date for my Toronado (if I had the money). No need for 500+ horsepower. Swift and silent... a mild Turbo-6 would be fine. Talked to the conversion department at EV West http://www.evwest.com/catalog/index.php?osCsid=lovusud1cnut5f29dhbq3serb4 They were telling me about some conversions on 1970's era full size sedans and station wagons. Enough room underneath to have a battery pack with a 200 to 300 mile range and you can put in just about any electric motor you want. I was thinking the Siamese Warp 11 would do nicely in your Toronado. Totally silent, 1000lb ft of torque even comes with the transmission so it just connects to your driveline. http://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=213&osCsid=lovusud1cnut5f29dhbq3serb4 You could have a silent Sleeper that really would leave all others caught up in your Toronado of destruction!

    Next company to take their pony car, give it a 300 mile range on pure electric with a motor like this. 420HP, 560 lbs of torque will win! http://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=300&osCsid=rfikd2j0it52odv9jfoo2kfdk4 That is my thought and I am sticking to it.

    Drew has listed out the engines with where the HP is fully delivered, If you feel the list is dated then please supply the updated V6 engines and their Max Horsepower delivered at XXXX rpm and redline as additional comparison please. Posted Yesterday, 09:43 AM Drew Dowdell, on 22 Aug 2015 - 06:28 AM, said: It's more than just that. With these naturally aspirated DOHC V6es, I feel that customers are getting cheated a bit. They are being sold horsepower ratings that they will never see in the real world. Wingsforlife: Drew, you really need to qualify a remark like this.

    Considering that i like to leave history in the books or museum. The 1970 is nice, but I will take the 2010.

    Totally and Completely disagree with you as Buick sells very well and GM did the right thing in paring up Buick with GMC so they have a Luxury Mid Level product line of Trucks, SUV's, CUV's and Cars. This is very profitable for GM as well as very different auto's and very different from the Failed Mercury issue.

    I M Mentally Dead due to your Ad Campaign.

    If money was no object, I would do what a group of GM engineers did to this lovely 1988 Monte Carlo SS. Original power plant was a LS3 180HP mated with a 4 speed transmission. They installed a LS376/525 Connect & Cruise system which included a T56 6 speed manual transmission. Nice bump from 180HP to 525HP. The full story of the car and the awesome crate engine / transmission package is found here. http://www.chevrolet.com/performance/fuel-newsletter/2014/issue3.html

    Over all the battle of OHV versus DOHC will never be settled and Dwightlooi makes a very good case for the ongoing use of pushrod V8 engines. Over all, when a pushrod V8 is built with quality care, you get a life long engine that requires only basic maintenance and lasts a very very long time.

    News is reporting that due to CAFE, FCA has already stated that the V8 engine line of Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep will be dead after 2019. 2019 will be the last year you can buy a Hellcat Challenger or Charger. Even the RT Hemi will be dead as they move to 4 & 6 cylinder auto's with turbos pushing out 600+ horsepower. https://myclassicgarage.com/social/posts/115174-dodge-to-drop-hellcat-by-2019-beginning-of-the-end-for-v8s https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/srt-hellcat-hemi-engines-might-not-survive-2019-173010561.html http://motrolix.com/2015/08/dodge-hellcat-hemi-v8-production-to-end-in-2019/ http://www.dodge-motors.com/news/srt-hellcat-and-hemi-engines-might-not-survive-through-2019/ So does that mean GM and Ford will also be looking at phasing out the V8 in auto's other than trucks and special limited production auto's? Wonder if Electric or Hybrid small engine with electric motors are to become the future of performance. Porsche seems to think so.

    Very awesome review to read. Informative and interesting to know more about these new auto's. I can also honestly say that I am underwhelmed by the scion product line and would not be able to recommend it to anyone.

    I've been having issues with Chrome getting very laggy and processor intensive lately. I haven't noticed any performance issues, but my laptop is bad to the bone. I'm going to be super pissed if Edge doesn't conform to HTML standards when I'm doing web design. Supposedly all the documents I have read is that Edge is a true HTML5 only browser. Sadly as I suspected, the forum software is not fully HTML5 compliant just as most web sites are not yet. This is one time where MSFT seems to be clearly ahead of everyone else right now.

    I give the Titan / Tundra their props, the engine at least moves their metal on the road. Other than that, I am not impressed with ether truck.

    Welcome to the Global Market of product. At least the profits come back to America for an American auto company.
  16. G. David Felt
    SWEET! I like this as a solid competitor to the Tesla X. I hope Cadillac does not wait to build one as they will need this to compete.

    Howdy all, Decided to upgrade my windows 7 system to windows 10. Did this for my parents also who were on windows 8.1. As their support person this gives me an easier time supporting them when we are all on the same OS version. Issue is with Microsoft Edge browser, great HTML5 non legacy browser. This means it does not use Java or Adobe Flash and is nice and fast. Problem being is trying to post new topics via that browser fails. The link button in the tool bar above does not work. Cut n Paste does not work, trying to post the new topic returns a site is not available and yet everything works fine via chrome and Firefox. So wanted to find out who else has upgraded and what issues you are hitting with Edge on accessing and posting to the forum?

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com​ 1970 or 2010 Dodge Challenger, which would you own​? Found this on the MSN auto section, a great story about the 1970 and 2010 Dodge Challenger Convertible and a guy who got to drive both. Blast to read and brings up a great question, Which one would you own? http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/which-would-you-rather-own-1970-dodge-challenger-or-2010-dodge-challenger/ar-BBlP7qF?ocid=spartandhp

    No more SRTs that aren't Dodges. I understand that, but I was at a loss for words and now that others stated it the following would be cool Renegade Trailhawk Edition with a Turbo 4, AWD about 250HP would do
  20. G. David Felt
    Technology is an amazing field to work in.
  21. G. David Felt
    Interesting that the Renegade could have their own SRT version then using the turbo motor. As much as I do not like the look and especially the quality of the Fiat line, a 500X Abarth version would be awesome. They should make it an AWD with about 250HP.

    Would love to see this car up against the corvette or camero to compare the various stages of HP / Torque at certain speeds such as: 0 to 30 0 to 60 0 to 90 0 to 120 then 30 to 60 30 to 90 30 to 120 then 60 to 90 60 to 120 I think this will show how Torque and HP work to move the auto even faster. Auto mags and web sites need to do comparisons like this to show just how well OHV versus DOHC engines would perform and deliver. I question the added weight issues of DOHC over OHV engines and where it all ends up at. Then take this to the next level with Turbo versions of the OHV versus DOHC to really see what is best. Right now more Marketing Fluff than real facts from the OEM's.
  23. G. David Felt
    Very Cool, So happy to see this auto and that Tesla is finally getting some competition. I wonder when GM would consider either a Corvette EV or allow Cadillac to offer a new XLR EV that would deliver this kind of performance.
  24. G. David Felt
    Bolt it Baby!!!
  25. G. David Felt
    I would take an Encore with a more powerful engine for sure.
