"I just bought a Mustang for 57 grand that's no quicker around a course than a 42 grand Camaro!" #fanboism #badlifechoices Well, at this point, prove it. Let's see the comparison that shows the GT350 being "no quicker" than a 1LE. You're doing an awful lot of talking for something that hasn't even been driven yet. Remember that thing you said "If all you can do to counter my article is call me a fanboy then I've already won." Go on...

We need another Dream Garage thread.. FRISKY! get on that..

I corrected that for you Suav But you are correct. Sometimes there are cars that are just special and numbers don't tell the whole story. For example, the Miata. That's another car that the numbers don't tell the whole story yet it is a great car and everybody that drives them seems to love them.

Uh oh... another 200mph claim.. Let's see if it can do it! In all seriousness, I love this car. The Type-R on "the juice" is exactly what the doctor ordered. Gorgeous car(coupe only!) + Nasty exhaust = winner in my books.- 6 replies

GMC News: 2017 GMC Acadia To Start At $29,995*
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in GMC Trucks
I applaud any price drop. I love seeing a company pass the savings on to the customer. They already had people paying the $1,900+ per vehicle before so to drop the price and pass their savings on is awesome. -
LOL @ "non-competitive product" (referring to the GT350/R) That right there is now I, and everybody else, can't take a damn word of yours serious when you start talking GM vs anything.
-
"cold hard facts" about a GM and Ford products...from you...? I'll take most other resources for my "cold hard facts". They've proven to be the most accurate and reliable. Ya know, people who get paid to do the work rather than a fanboy on an internet forum.

If that's what you tell yourself to sleep at night, fanboy.

You already have that answer. It's a freaking got dang global car for f's sake. You are as stubborn and blind as Wings was at times. You both compare Ford and GM like your own preference is God and everything else is junk, old, misplaced, poorly executed, and overpriced. Mopar does not have better RWD applications than Ford. Mopar's RWD vehicles are 10 years old. And they have as many chassis as Ford, 1. Charger/Challenger/300.

Congrats on the purchase! I've actually always liked that gen Liberty. A good friend of mine bought one 5 or so years ago. He only had it for maybe 6 months though. I don't think anything was wrong with it as much as he wanted a truck and ended up buying a newer Ram 1500. Either way the second gen Liberty looks WAAAAAAY better than the first gen. I dig the boxy look. Mind if I ask what you ended up paying for the ole girl with 53k miles and 3.7L engine? Also, not trying to bash your purchase in any way but how is that 3.7? I just looked up the numbers on it and 210hp out of a 3.7 sounds a little weak? Does it feel better than the numbers? I mean it isn't like 200hp is weak for a smaller SUV it just seems weak for the engine displacement.
-
It'd be nice to put into almost any vehicle. Sounds like a great powertrain. What would be ideal would be to allow others to use it and also further develop the system which would be shared back to GM. That way it would benefit all parties. Just like one big Volt powertrain orgy.
-
What constitutes as under or over priced? A base GT350 is what 50k? You get a completely redone suspension, the whole front end body work is different, obviously the engine is an exotic, and a transmission to match. It isn't like it is a GT with a 5.2 slapped under the hood. It's basically a different car because the GT is much softer designed to sell to a broader spectrum of people. The biggest difference between the 1LE and GT350 is the engine, and bodywork. Both have redone suspensions to make them more track capable.

Whenever I do the "Build & Price" thing I always forget about incentives/rebates that can be offered at times of purchase. I'll go ahead and build something relatively out of my price range just to see how much it would cost for exactly what I want.. but I could save thousands if timed right and visit an actual dealer. For instance, the whole F150 with the sport/chrome package, XLT, 2.7, and extended cab or something like that had wicked rebated at one point. Something like 7500-8500 off..

That's just freakin' awesome! Is it just me ooooorrrrr as I watch those videos I'm always just waiting to see a shift(vehicle buck up and down) like a "normal" car??? Usually you can visually see the shift points on cars and as I watch these my instincts are waiting for a shift and, obviously, they don't happen. These cars are just crazy. It boggles my mind how people(on here) can dislike them so much when they're doing such amazing things.

My good friend that works at my local Ford dealer just sold their GT350 at MSRP. He told me they sold it to some guy from New Hampshire for just under 58k with whatever options it had but it was right at sticker price. He said they(the other salesmen) were disappointed because the store GM made the sale so none of them got to get a fat commission check.

The Tacoma can be had with a manual transmission in all of their trims What's the G80 locker as opposed to what the truck already has for a 4 wheel drive system? I've heard the brand/model/name before but never really knew WHAT it did better than a factory locking system.

Dang, I was going to go with an Escape as well.. Uhhhh if not an Escape...
-
damn, the lil face thingy didn't work.. I thought there used to be one for "welcome".
-
Yeah you'd think they could just slap a mild tune on it for an extra like 15hp/10tq or something.. Mostly just to say it's more powerful. I mean it already gets pretty poor mileage and then the mild lift and tires kill any idea of getting decent mileage out of a smaller truck so might as well give it a little more power. Both Chevy and GMC needs to offer Hummer Packages that give you real world off road prowess. Yeah, Chevy has the balls to make a 650hp/tq, $100,000 Corvette and a $75,000, 508hp stripped out track Z/28 but they won't even touch anything that even looks at dirt.

I agree, Olds. He was sulking.. it wasn't the "most professional" thing to do but it is far from even "bad" in my opinion. Childish..yeah..but is that any worse than what Bill Belichick does every week with the media? We're just used to seeing those pearly whites of Cam that anything that isn't super positive turns into super negative. I just think it's funny how the double standard of certain players can be so vibrant. I love Peyton and I'm glad he won and hopefully he walks away on top of the world and possibly the best qb to have ever played the game..but do find it worse to walk away without shaking hands than to be a child in front of some reporters. Let's be honest here, this is the first time in Cam's LIFE that he's ever lost something meaningful that he was supposed to win. He doesn't know how to lose yet. He has gotten WORLDS better than when he first came into the league because he was quite pissy after games then too but he's matured a lot and still has a lot to keep going. He's young and hopefully this loss teaches him some thing. Mainly, how to lose and how to win.

2016 Chicago Auto Show: The 2017 Chevrolet Trax: Comments
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chicago Auto Show (CAS)
This reminds me of the 2.0T in the Escape and Fusion. I don't know why the Escape gets the new one in '17 but the Fusion doesn't. -

Yeah Chevy offers 55 different appearance packages and not-a-one will compete with a Tacoma TRD Pro off the beaten path. Apparently this is all you get in that 7k purchase, lol.
