Dodge Avenger has sales this year still? They better be 50% off. Lol -
Saw something I never thought I would today. Then about 7-8 more. Fully built(looking and sounding) 70-80's drag cars pulling trailers. They were small trailers but the first one that I saw that caught my ears and then eyes had MASSIVE slicks on the back and it chirped them what sounded like shifting 1-3. Not aggressive. Just wicked stall on a car with stupid power. Oh and the trailers. Lol I caught one pic and you can kindof see two. The closest one pictures in a Fox Body mustang..with a trailer. Lol I also don't know where they were all going. There wasn't a track anywhere in the direction they were heading unless they were all leaving Gateway Motorsports Park and coincidently going the same way(about 20 minutes from the track). I didn't think they had things during the day like that but if they did, that's awesome! Well, here's the pic I grabbed. Damnit. I don't know why it rotated when I posted it.

Probably around the same time the f150 throws their 2.3 in theirs. I mean power output surpasses the base n/a 3.5 already.. I think they both need to lose a little bit more weight or somehow reduce rolling resistance be it aero, less drivetrain loss, weight, etc.
-
I really like the looks of the current generation and there's something about this that doesn't strike me as attractive. It did need to grow a bit as it was slightly undersized or the segment, good to hear it lost weight as well.

Chiefs won. Better Sunday. Ahhh you're a Chiefs fan?!?!? One of my best friends is a Chiefs fan actually. We might be road tripping at the end of October to go to a Chiefs/Steelers game in Arrowhead. We went to a Chiefs/Cowboys game a few years back there as well. Awesome..AWESOME environment!

There aren' gas stations out there either..

Personally, I don't see an initial post/thread topic that is even PR fluff being fanboyish. It is the following conversation that makes or breaks it to me. Okay I guess it would be a little fanboy-like but that doesn't bother me. A little fanboy/biased is COMPLETELY understandable and expected. EVERYBODY has it no matter what they say, it's just how much. Fluff is how these companies make their money..but it doesn't mean it is lies. That stuff CAN be worth talking about so I don't mind it being posted. If I don't find it interesting I just won't post in there. I may try and find an example of the irrational fanboy-like posts. Something that is being stated as a fact, is an opinion, and it also trying to make somebody else look like a dick - that is what I consider an irrational fanboy-style post. Not thinking, just trying to be right, and by being aggressive it makes them seem like the "winner".

Do you actually hate the sport of football or how the league/government use it? The owners DEFINITELY can afford to build their own stadiums. But part of them asking for money is because they're used for WAY more than just football games which(supposedly - I tried to look it up and I see responces in both directions) bring money back to the city and/or state.
-
So basically the GT350 route of their own variety? OoOoOooo a big nasty 7.0 would always be nice.
-
But there are many times when it isn't worth commenting when dealing with ridiculously irrational fanboy-style posts. (on the negative side of voting) and sometimes there just isn't time to type something up or you just want to give a passive "thumbs up".
-
Oh absolutely, a great starting point. I'm super curious what their next hi-po version will be. Will they go GT350R/Z/28 route? or will they make another(as I like to call it) bruiser like the ZL1/GT500/Hellcat?
-
I'm curious what your opinions are on the other end of the spectrum then, the upvote. ?

What I find most interesting is the weight numbers. GM is claiming an SS weight of 3685 pounds based off a base weight of 3908. Thing is, C/D had a test SS that weighed in at 3860 once. So, it is not outside the realm of possibility that a run-of-the-mill Zeta SS will weigh in at 3650 pounds. I predicted this elsewhere, some time ago. I believe you did.. and I doubted it. lol But, with the new packaging it won't ever be a bare bones SS. I personally don't think they will weigh this new one as low as 3650 but it is a possibiliy.
-
Are you talking about the Focus ST? Because the 2.0 and 1.0T do not make more than 160hp. The 2.0 makes 160hp/146tq and the 1.0T makes 123hp/123tq. The Mazda does have a larger(non-performance) engine option, which I think is really cool and unique to the segment. 2.0: 155hp/150tq and 2.5: 184hp/185tq. I will agree that 160hp is very weak for these size of cars but the 184tq should make up for it in daily driving. It will run like most ecoboosts and run out of steam up top but it'll feel plenty fine when driving and accelerating normally, IMO.

Cowboys won. Rams won. Cardinals won. Good sunday.
-
On my way to work this morning I managed to see 3 motorcycles,1 2001 Cobra convertible(down), and 1 Jeep with its top down/off. It was about 50-55 degrees.
-
Probably. The Spark just did. Yup. Every car grows. Except maybe the Miata. But can anybody name a car that has shrunk in the past 5 years? That's just "how it goes".
-
At 100+mph it involves sooooo much aero it isn't even funny. The 'Slade can have 1000hp but if it's creating lift and feels floaty over 100mph it means nothing as it isn't secure or safe at all. Same for the others. They will definitely need to do some aero playing to get it to go that fast. Things such as a "flag floor" and a good that allows air to flow out of it will go a long way. Which GM knows already because they made the ZL1 and Z/28 with similar hoods to what I'm talking about. Most cars create lift at extreme speeds but serious performance cars crest downforce securing the vehicle to the ground and giving the sense of security at extreme speeds. For example, if I were to do 100mph in my Escape it would give me the feeling of floating and it would feel super super sketchy. But do the same in s z/28 and you'd feel as if you were going 30mph with the sense of grip that it gives due to aero(and tires and other performance bits but you know what I'm saying). Also my pervious Mach 1 did the same thing. It was not a comfortable feeling to go fast, so I never did. Just saying it is more about just drag and power to go fast. Especially when meeting OEM requirements.
-
And they managed to make a performance version too..which he probably drools over.
-
I do. And by and large it is. The only thing you have to be aware of in my experience is when you enter and exit parking garages and whatnot. Go slow over speed bumps or your already bottomed-out truck will jolt you pretty good. Then manually jack it ASAP rather than wait for the truck to hit the preset speed. That's awesome, man. Yeah that makes sense. That's awesome that you have the ability to lower and raise it basically at will. How fast does it have to go before automatically raising it back up?
-
Ehh.. It's "okay". Not bad, not good. Just "Okay".
-
You're worded kinda funny. Hahaha i won't deny that..
-
In his defense, that is worded kind of funny.. or maybe I have poor reading skills as well. I got it..I just had to read it a couple of times. I feel like "If we change it so everyone can see who voted, would you want it to show all voting results ever cast?" sounds a little better. as opposed to: "If we change it so everyone can see who voted, would you care that it would show all voting results ever cast?" I may very well just have poor reading/writing abilities though, so there's that. lol
-
Honestly.. I think it looks pretty sharp, for what it is. It is ugly but in a unique sort of way where it doesn't necessarily look 100% function over form but it still is. They gave something SUPER BLAND a little style, albeit ugly stying, but it is still way above the last gen. I'd take the unique ugly over the bland bland bland.

'Bong, do you have the air suspension on your Ram? If so, is it as good as everybody makes it out to be?
