@oldshurst442 I need that GNX in my lineup! I thought about it for just a second and thought it had to have 3xx hp. That's what I get for assuming... i actually saw what had to have been one today because it was suuuper clean, while I was driving. Made me want to whip a u-turn and follow it for a bit with my mouth wide open drooling.- Ultimate Dream Garage: 200-299 HP Edition
Ahhhh the NSX is a gem!- Ultimate Dream Garage: 200-299 HP Edition
Well I think I have my list.. Golf R: 292hp/280tq 2004 Mustang GT 5spd: 260hp/302tq Exige Matte Black Limited Edition: 257hp ATS or CTS 2.0T: 272hp or 268hp(I think I might want the larger car and I can get it in the highest trim level so it'd be all fancy n sht... but I love the small nature of the ATS too..) Range Rover Sport 3.0 Diesel: 254hp/443tq- I Bought Another One....
2000-2010, 4 door, not a truck, or any Jeeps...Right? Making sure I'm keeping up haha- I Bought Another One....
Good call with the decade...- Ultimate Dream Garage: 200-299 HP Edition
Well first it was finding worthy candidates that I want as toy cars... Now I went over and have to narrow them down. lol- Ultimate Dream Garage: 200-299 HP Edition
lol I'm having a tough time finding cars that I want here.. I have two locked in and 1 daily driver but I'm not sure about the other two.- 2017 Chevrolet Colorado Looks To Give Toyota's Tacoma TRD Pro A Run For the Money: Comments

Did you go out and get yourself a Ferd F1shifty?!? Or a Chebby SilverAdo?!?! ..Not sure why I feel 4 doors is not a car.. You don't seem like you'd get a second CUV...- I Bought Another One....
You went out and bought yourself a WRANGLER Unlimited(Those are the 4 door model, right?)- I Bought Another One....

Stumbled across and it's an addition to the family.. (I also didn't know you have a 318i of xB) Hmmm... I'll go out and say an S2000. I think this is more of a hint than I credited it.. If it isn't for you and it is either family or wife's then it is not an S2000.- I Bought Another One....
Is this replacing or an addition to the GTI and Rav4? If replacing, which one is it replacing?- 2018 Toyota C-HR Is Their Take On the Nissan Juke: Comments
Agreed, 144/140 into a CVT..no thank you. This is a clever way of tricking people to buying buying a car though. Look how low to the ground it is. It looks almost like a Mazda 3 hatch.- 12 replies

I watched that the other day when it happened. Great respect for the man and it's impressive how stand-up of a guy he is. True team leader. You could actually feel what he was saying in his words too. Yes he was reading but it was his own words and you could tell he meant what he was saying. Only a true team leader and captain will accept his role and try and do what he can to better the team. So many players are selfish and greedy and this was VERY SELFLESS of him. I always liked him but I gained a new respect for him. Right?!?! 250k super car smoked by a jellybean CUV. That's the power of electricity! Id like to know those trap speeds because the 458 was walking up on it.- Random Thoughts Thread

I think it looks GREAT! I'm just not a huge fan of a n/a 4 banger matched to a 9spd.. aren't their issues with that combination now?- 27 replies

Just reading more because this truck will be a monster. "Before we discuss these magic shocks let’s run down the roster of supporting hardware mods on this package, which is available in extended cab and crew-cab configurations with the 3.6-liter V-6 or the 2.8-liter turbodiesel four. The four-mode AutoTrac 4WD system (RWD, 4 auto, 4Hi, 4Lo) is upgraded to include Eaton electronically locking differentials on both axles. The rear can be locked in all four of the above modes, the front can only be locked in 4Lo after the rear axle is locked, bringing to nine the number of driveline modes available. Hill descent control is offered, and an off-road mode button invokes one of 30 different maps for tailoring the throttle response, shift strategy, and the ABS, traction and stability control systems to suit whatever conditions confront a ZR2." "Other functional improvements on the 2017 Colorado ZR2 include a suspension lift of 2.0 inches, a widening of the track by 3.5 inches, a swap to sturdier cast-iron lower front control arms, and fitment of 8.0 x 17-inch wheels wrapped in 31-inch Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires that afford exceptional traction. And to improve suspension articulation, the 1.5-inch diameter hollow front anti-roll bar is replaced by a softer 1.0-inch solid one. " "Now for those magic shocks. Shock absorbers work by plunging a piston through a tube filled with oil, and forcing the oil to flow through some sort of holes or channels that regulate how fast it can move. Usually these holes are in the piston, with flow through them being controlled by a series of metal discs that deflect as oil passes through them. Tuning these discs to provide precisely the right flow rate is a hugely time consuming pain in the posterior, and normal production tolerances can result in variation from the ideal flow rates of up to 15 percent. Racing teams could never tolerate such inconsistency so in 2001 Multimatic Inc. of Markham, Ontario developed the Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve and soon after Newman/Haas Racing teams using Multimatic DSSV dampers began winning Champ Car titles. Instead of deflecting discs, oil presses against another precision-machined spring-loaded piston or “spool” that moves inside a thin sleeve into which little ports are laser cut to extremely precise tolerances in a temperature-controlled environment. The shape of these ports is computer designed to regulate oil flow rates as the piston moves exposing more of the ports." "The Colorado ZR2’s duty cycle could not be more different, but the beauty of DSSV shocks is you can shape those orifices to deliver any force/displacement curve you like for any duty cycle. In this application, two DSSV valves like the ones in the Z/28 are relocated to a chamber next to the main shock tube. As the piston moves through the typical stroke experienced in on-road driving, it forces oil to flow out of that tube through a ring of orifices and into this chamber with the spool valves. More extreme suspension inputs of the type that typically only happen off road cause the piston to move past these orifices, at which point the oil is forced through a third jounce-control spool valve that’s located in the piston. This one is tuned more like a Baja racer’s shock. A third chamber contains the volume of nitrogen gas that accounts for the volume of the piston rod that plunges in and out of the space where the oil otherwise lives. Moving both the spool valves and this nitrogen charge out of the main tube allows for more suspension travel within the same shock absorber packaging space." http://www.motortrend.com/news/2017-chevrolet-colorado-zr2-first-ride-review/- Random Thoughts Thread
