  1. It'll probably be like the FX4 Expedition where they get tires, off-road tuned shocks, skid plates, and a locking rear diff with a low range transfer case(if it doesn't already have it).
  2. That could be said about any luxury branded vehicle ever...
  3. MSRP to MSRP probably not but I bet they discount them a good amount.
  4. Nice eye on the Classic part. I definitely missed that line. That's surprising to me.
  5. Yeah, it's probably just unnecessarily expensive to certify and do all of that jazz for something they're trying to sell cheap.
  6. They don't have to go nuts with the Syclone but give it a little more power, lower it a bit, and give it some bigger/wider wheels and tires and that would probably be good enough. It doesn't have to be a crazy 450hp truck. If they used the 2.7T they have in-house, they could give it a mild tune and make something like 350hp/400tq and be good.
  7. Why a version of this wasn't out when the ZR2 came out, blows my mind. What I would do with these twins is; Colorado would get the street treatment(Syclone would be an appropriate name) and it would be a little hot rod and the Canyon would get the off road treatment and make it the ZR2(name it whatever you want). You get two high-margin trucks and they wouldn't compete with each other for sales.
  8. "Classic" is a different truck and most likely why it wasn't listed here. I doubt it will get the diesel. I have as well. Personally, I find it funny. I don't care if somebody does it to me as well. Don't take internet things overly serious.
  9. I assume he was a collector with those numbers.
  10. Well, if you think about the cast that would be put at the bottom of the system.. yes. You don't need an arsenal of firearms to defend yourself or family. You also don't need 100% pushback to defend your "cast".
  11. I think the mass amount of firearms in the US will not allow an official "cast system".
  12. As long as you're not looking for a quick flip, it doesn't matter too much.
  13. Prepare for the worst and if it doesn't happen you were at least afloat and have "extra" cash.
  14. Summer 2007... Not the greatest sign of things to come. Get ready to invest when things bottom out!
  15. What was that?
  16. What else is in the auto pipeline that'll be pumping out 1200hp and weighing 2,600-2,800lbs? There is one thing for sure, I don't think it would be irrelevant even in 2 years. People are still talking about the McLaren F1 20 years later... even though it's been surpassed with technology long ago. I would agree if it was only ICE but with it being a full plug-in hybrid with all of that technology, I can't see it being irrelevant in 2 years or even 5 years. Unless there are skunkworks programs from other major automakers, this will still be 1 of 1 in it's "segment". Personally, I am not a fan of the whole stripped out full blown race car made street legal. It just doesn't suit my driving style or "needs". I think a true GT car would be best for me if money wasn't an issue but this thing will rip, if they get everything sorted out.
  17. I don't think it is dead at all and that's kind of odd to say it's dead while they just stated they're still working on it... Also to say it is old tech..? Huh?
  18. I completely understand that part but I think the track surface will hold it back more than the performance capabilities themselves.
  19. No, that's what the light weight and high down force is for.
  20. You genuinely think they will beat the all-time record by 40 seconds? You realize how absurd of a goal that is, right? I don't think it is bad to set a very high goal but there is only so much time to be taken off on such a bumpy and uneven track.
  21. Well, as of now, the AMG One doesn't meet the WLTP standards either... ??‍♂️
  22. You can't take tax losses on fines.
  23. Yeah, when it's a former F1 engine.. That's already been done.. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a23706900/lanzante-formula-1-engines-porsche-930/
  24. Who would have thought it was about electricity, too? ??
  25. It's way more than just displacement and exhaust. F1 cars idle at like 5000rpm. I know you've read or watched videos about the difficulties with using an F1 engine in a street car... Neither supply good quality racing/competition and neither will last unless they do. Formula E does a much better job as of now but they also started all using the same exact equipment so it should be more competitive. I know they plan to allow each individual company build their own cars and I'm not sure if they are there yet. I actually think once they do that the quality of competition will drop as it will likely turn into the teams who spend the most VS the field, like F1.
