    well, there probably is something illegal about it... I wish the look alone was illegal too though!

    My bad, I read lateral acceleration and my brain read lateral grip(weird that they're two very different measurements).

    That interior looks gorgeous.

    Hahaha WTF kind of race is that? Let's find one that a Challenger will win? That's pathetic if the only race the Challenger will win over a Tesla is a cross country race(Pre-Demon) +1 (Ran out of upvotes already) The Demon? The Veyron? Neither of those are world class in that category.

    I'm almost positive it's run 10.9's.
  6. ccap41
    Mine is almost half of that... lol

    It's going to be insane. I talked to somebody who was around them dyno-testing it and they had it over 1050whp but they were still breaking things so they were going to have to dial it back. That's freakin' nuts!

    This is easy for me as it's kind of the end of an era as cars quickly became electronic this and that. This car wasn't yet. It has traction control, but it sucked. You had to WANT to gain traction for it to really work. 2003-2004 Mustang "Terminator" Cobra Choice number 2 would be easy as well.. C5Z.

    I completely agree. I could understand being less knowledgeable about smaller purchases but when we're talking about financing tens of thousands of dollars for YEARS I feel like a salesman who knows what they're actually selling is a very big deal. This isn't a $300 water heater.

    Hmmmmm I thought it was an LT1 which is why it was funny but maybe it wasn't. I just remember it being incredibly slow so I guess it couldn't have been the LT1.
  11. ccap41
    That's just not going to happen. They will know 707hp and then spit out rumors of other things like salesmen tend to do as if they're facts. Salesmen are the worst kind of people. A good friend of mine had a 90's Buick Roadmaster with the LT1 as well. That thing wa such a dog for having an LT1. That engine shouldn't have been given the name "LT1" with how underpowered it felt.

    I guess with them requiring you to be paying attention at all times... what's the point?

    I feel ya on the moving closer.. I'm more thinking of finding a job closer to home. My commute isn't terrible but nearly an hour each way gets old and that time adds up. Similar to you, 10 hours a week just commuting... that sucks.
  14. ccap41
    Ahhhhhh, yeah that'll do it. I live 35 miles from work but 30 of that I'm on a bus.
  15. ccap41
    Shet, that's a lot of miles in what feels like a short period of time!

    I feel similar with modern turbo and DI technology. I know Drew has driven a looooot more than you or I but I've always felt very very minimal turbo lag but I've also needed about half the downshifts than I would had it been a n/a v6(talking about my 2.0T in my Escape)
  17. ccap41
    lol true.. I hate when I say I'm just looking and then they ask about payments.. BITCH! I JUST SAID I WAS LOOKING! I also just usually walk around when they're closed.
  18. ccap41
    Same here. I don't think I've ever enjoyed my experience at a dealership unless I was going just to "oooo and ahhh" at something w/ no intent to purchase. Those are the only times I don't hate because they'll never yank me around as I'll tell them I'm just looking.

    @Drew Dowdell and I have talked about this before.. those dyno graphs you're talking about are full throttle only. We're talking about daily driving in regular every day circumstances where you'll likely never need a full throttle input so those graphs are kind of null. With that said, find partial throttle graphs and the conversation can continue. Until then, it's Drew's personal preference and no matter what you or I say we won't change his mind on a opinion. It's just an opinion. That's probably because everybody has a tune on them, we're talking about a performance car site. Drew does own a turbo 4.

    Yep! Dealers asking 100k for GT350's is just fckn insane. HA! And I thought 100k was bad.. @dfelt, straighten your people up.. GT350 (non-R) I'll give them a little itty bitty bit of leeway as it's a 2015 and only 1 of 137.. but not at this price. 100k GT350. Dealer is fckn nuts asking 100k for a car with 173 miles on it..You know those are abused miles on a car like this. Just more LOL Ooops, I mixed those last two up... Ehhhh only because it's necessary.. You'd only notice that on a race track/drag strip. In all seriousness, I love the look of fog lights and it missing them is actually a little disappointing.
  21. ccap41
    If dealers mark them up an insane amount they will eventually sit and get marked down.. There are some on autotrader that are marked down a decent amount. 2016's which(I'm assuming) were marked up to the moon and never sold because there aren't enough idiot customers willing to over pay.
  22. ccap41
    No fog lights? Pass.

    There are ways to spin a turbo constantly to create no lag. It definitely costs fuel to do that though. It's one way the GT keeps its turbos spooled up AND gets abysmal mileage. I believe there are also electronic ways to spool them. I also don't really know how you feel so much lag in these small turbo motors. I've felt next to none in the couple I've driven. At least nothing you'd notice in daily driving situations. I've never stood on the pedal and felt like I was waiting any amount of time. If anything I was waiting for a down shift before hearing the turbo spinning.
  24. ccap41
    Holy sh!t that's a costly error.
  25. ccap41
    I think that's a good size to go with. Could be a little wider if I'm being picky. It's funny reading offsets for completely different vehicles as I'm looking at wheels myself and the offset is +45. +8 literally would not fit in my wheel wells. They'd be sticking out like 3 inches, lol.
