    Even from a stand still? That's hard to believe because of the AWD vs RWD. Are the turbos that big that there is all sorts of lag as well? I would have thought the lighter weight, AWD, and low end turbo tq would have made it feel quicker

    Don't even act like you don't LOOOOOVE rubbing in anything and everything GM does.When you're getting smack talk like this DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, downvoting me is remarkably petty.Don't hate the player. Hate the game Or, if you're a Ford fan, hate the dullards, beancounters, and fatheads who allowed the company to become so uncompetitive in this segment. Yeah, the game of TrollSoHardLikeWings. I think everybody dislikes that game. 'cept you. The car is fantastic. No doubt about that. But then you throw out crap like "Or, if you're a Ford fan, hate the dullards, beancounters, and fatheads who allowed the company to become so uncompetitive in this segment." What about FCA? They don't have anything competitive either. Hellcat competitive to a hopped up pony car? Absolutely not. Or are you just TrollingSoHard to only get under specific people/person's skin?

    So did you read his entire back story and not just the part where he worked for GM fifty years ago? http://www.automobilemag.com/author/robert-cumberford/ As a matter of fact, he is just as honest about the new Camaro. http://www.automobilemag.com/news/2016-chevrolet-camaro-design-analysis/ Nah, I just read the part where he worked for GM which was all I needed to read to know 'Bong would be worshiping his words.

    Welcome back, Justin!

    Well I'll be damned, that's one sharp looking Camaro! The wheels looks GREAT! The hood looks GREAT! The black is used perfectly! If I'm going to nit pick the exterior changes it would be the(most likely) functional front splitter being a little large. It is odd that GM would release the first issue of the 10spd in a Chevy and that Chevy wouldn't be a Corvette Z06 but that goes to show that GM still has some issues like Ford/Lincoln with crap like that. The premier premium stuff should start in their...premium... vehicles or at least be released together.

    Why do you think that, I love these concepts and thinking of what you would do or not do differently. Do NOT give up. I think you have some great threads. As you already know, I love them! Therefore, I agree with dfelt.

    3.0TT isn't the fastest CT6. 4.0TT is coming.Right and I all along said they need a Dohc V8, I'd like to see it in a CTS VSport or Escalade too. But there were several people on CT6 threads a few months back saying the TT V6 would outrun their German V8s because of lower weight, and I knew that wouldn't be the case and it isn't.The German three also all offer a 6 liter 12 cylinder. That might not be for the CT6 to worry about but they need to remember that on CT8. smk does have a good point. SHOW YA FACES!

    Shocker.

    Thanks, Olds! I got the idea from your...AT&T park..pic. lol Just a little bit of baseball heaven! While I would never want my 458 to burn to the ground..if I could replace it with a NEW GT and surgically plant a 5.2 in there I would take that in a heartbeat. Yes, it may ruin the dynamics of the car or something like that.. but I'll never take it to a track and I'd rather be able to just start it up in my garage and rev the piss out of it and hear the 5.2 over any V6 ever. I think, personally, I'd leave the 5.4 in that gen ( ^ ) GT. Still sounds great.
  11. ccap41
    You're butt ugly! The 458 is a gorgeous car and it makes beautiful musical notes.
  12. ccap41
    Ummm….. yeah. Not where I come from... Gasoline is expensive where I come from...literally, there are but a handful of V8s... The new Mustang is out and about in Montreal...Ive seen 7-8 of them in the wild...1 was a GT. The rest were all ecoboosted 4 cylinders... The LX cars from Chrysler...a decade ago...most were of the Hemi variety...today...all Pentastars. The price of oil is what? $30-$35 a barrel? In Montreal...the price of gasoline...87 octane...$1.09 CDN per liter today... I live too suburban for electric cars to surpass V8s for quite awhile. While I'm not in Texas or Kansas I'd still say the fields around me still say I'm in truck country and V8's a plenty still. Yes, there are a lot of 3.5T F150s around but there are still a lot of 5.0s along with the GM and Ram V8s. Trucks everywhere around my parts. Crazy how many people just want trucks because I see an awful lot of Platinums and Denalis which are barely even trucks as much as luxury SUVs with a bed. Random FYI: Regular unleaded just rose to $2.09/gallon around here. Just last week it was about $1.69-1.79/gallon and Missouri is always about $0.10-0.20/gallon cheaper.

    ^ great words, Olds. Opinions on styling are exactly subjective. There just isn't a true way to measure style. The only way would be to poll EVERYBODY and that just isn't realistic in any way. That's why you adore cars I think are hideous and I adore cars you think are hideous. The closest possible way to measure would be sales and that's just ridiculous because there is no way everybody can buy the most beautiful cars. I guarantee you I wouldn't have bought an Escape, lol. NOW I understand why Bong takes his words to heart. "Robert Cumberford is a former automotive designer for General Motors" Everything makes since now.

    Sorry for your loss, bud. Thoughts and prayers out to you and your family.
  15. ccap41
    That's how I felt as well. I too couldn't sit in it. It was all up on a spinning pedestal.
  16. ccap41
    Do i smell a "guess what I bought" thread"? coming?!?
  17. ccap41
    lol I saw your post over at MT and thought the same thing..bring'r here! The 458 is just a gorgeous car that makes wonderful sounds. It was instantly one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen and I think its looks will always be there for me. The NSX looks a little too computer generated and less sculpted. 458

    I'd like to throw out an honorable mention for myself.. Jaguar F-Type Coupe, Manual, RWD, $62,995 and I'd have the wheels powder coated black probably with the extra money(if that's allowed). I don't think there would be any way I could choose a 340hp supercharged V6 over the GT350's 5.2 and 526hp but I absolutely LOVE the looks of the F-Type Coupe so I had to give it some props..
  19. ccap41
    I don't think it would be any easier to bolt on a massive turbo to the 2.0 as it would the 3.6 because everything would have to change in terms of piping and intercooling anyway.
  20. ccap41
    ^ Cayman S. I like it!
  21. ccap41
    LOL, When your 6'6" tall 300lbs, the SS is a sporty coupe to me! OK, then I have to copy El Kabong Challenger Hellcat Plum Crazy. PlumCrazyHellcatFront.jpg PlumCrazyHellcatBack.jpg Course being a UW Dawg Fan Purple is my colleges Color! Hahahaha good point! I guess being a lil fella at 5'8" everything is a sedan to me! That's one gnarly car and I LOVE that color!
  22. ccap41
    I think it would be a tough choice between these two gems. I think the GT350/R would take the cake as this would strictly be a toy car but I wouldn't count out the C63 Coupe.
  23. ccap41
    ^ dfelt, dfelt, dfelt.... sporty coupes!!
  24. ccap41
    DOH! Stew is right! Ha I didn't even realize I typed "C" instead of "E"!
  25. ccap41
    Sound like it Seems to be at an interesting middle ground of the drive line. Turbo-6, AWD(fixed, 31/69 - front/rear), sub 400hp.
