i see there being zero chance this is a high revving engine with how low it makes its peak torque. "is available from as low as 1500 rpm and continues to 4000 revs." My best guess would be a 6200-6400rpm. It seems like a pretty dang high tech engine if you haven't read more about it yet. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/confirmed-2019-chevrolet-silverado-gets-optional-turbocharged-four-cylinder-engine I'm pretty sure it is brand new based off of this line, "Displacing 2.7 liters, the long-stroke forced-induction inline-four is an all-new unit that General Motors said was designed specifically for truck applications."

Yeah I know the ole N/A's revved like a son of a bitch.

None of those are turbo 4 engines you just listed. At least I can't think of a turbo 4 engine from those companies that is a real revver. I think the Type R is the highest revving turbo 4 with a 7000rpm redline.

I don't think there are any high revving turbo 4's around, are there? I especially wouldn't think a truck would have one. So you can only get the 2.7T in an LT and RST? Am i reading the right?

15 years ago** The 5.3 was rated at 285-310hp and 325-335tq.

How is the auto assembly line perfect right now? You honestly think there is zero room for improvement? That's the difference in a billionaire who's sent rockets to space and successfully landed back on earth and.. people stuck in their old ways. Ironically because you're such an advocate for future propulsion technologies yet want the same old assembly line.

If he was in the car game just to be like everybody else he would have been pushed aside long ago. He's trying to improve the assembly process not just do what everybody else has done because it's worked. Should there have been more testing ahead of time? YUP! But pushing boundaries is what's fantastic about Tesla.

Very intriguing. I'm impressed to see somebody finally had the balls to drop a turbo 4 in a half ton.

It's a car designed for track use.. It should be easier than other cars. I think you just don't know how to screw something in if that's the difficult part for you. HOLY SH!T THAT IS DIFFICULT!

It isn't hard. They're designed to be put in on the spot, in an emergency. There is a little plastic piece on most cars covering the threads that pops off and you screw it in.. FYI I corrected it to "trunk" not "truck". Yes, I've screwed in a tow hook before.. It only takes a few seconds.

Trunk** IL is one of those damn two plate states as well and this looks pretty good if you're in a state that requires it.

The tow hook comes with the vehicle. It's always there, just not screwed in. It wouldn't take any time to walk to the truck, grab it out, and screw it in. That way you don't look like a jackass the other 99% of the time driving.

I'll never understand the fad of leaving the tow hook in on the streets.

Car looks gnarly! ..minus the damn tow hook.. ??‍♂️

Hahaha oh just a 50% markup. That dealer can get fk'd.

hybrid diesel? That thing ought to slaughter the MPGs.

I just hate that your first thought was to sue somebody.. ??‍♂️

So they think 20% of sales will be EV starting next month? I mean, that would be their next vehicle. That number is absurd.

This is not necessary.

4 cars really isn't a huge lineup but I feel like they're a little too close to each other. I feel like one ought to go.

Good for him.

No but there are easily ways around it.. I drank when I wasn't 21, very easily. Yeah I'll play fantasy football and the daily stuff but I tried a fantasy baseball league once.. that was waaaaaay too time consuming. I can do football as I only need to set a lineup for once a week. Baseball having games 7 days a week was ridiculous. I'd spend like an hour+ once a week just trying to set a lineup where players were playing every day without even trying to look at match ups.It was fun at the beginning but halfway through it was overwhelming. I'll dab into NASCAR a little as well. I've never tried F1. It can't be too difficult, the same 2 teams are in the front every week..lol

Yeah when the gf and I went to Vegas last spring we gambled a bit.. probably lost about $100 between the two of us in 7 days. Machines just aren't my thing. They're boring and you can lose too much too quickly for my taste. I've never played cards or roulette either, mostly because they're $10+ minimum bets and also too easily to blow $50 in 5 minutes, not my thing. I mostly like making lineups for fantasy sports. I don't think I'd do much with the legalization here but I'd make a few more on things like preseason bets on the Cardinals, Blues, and Cowboys all winning their respective championships. I'm not really sure how much I'd do weekly at all.

Uhhh how many real adults? That's a pretty small number, eh?

Well I don't think there are too many who "watch gambling". Odd comparison considering you place a bet then check back later. I do Draft Kings with some friends and we basically just toss each others' money around and occasionally win on other lineups. I assume you're against the sale of alcohol as well then? I'm very confident that ruins way more lives than gambling. I know people get addicted to gambling but you're grouping everybody who gambles into the addicted party.
