Too bad Chevy doesn't have the balls to make it.. Yeah.. but they have the BALLS to make a Camaro RS, SS, Z28, ZL1 and a Corvette and Z06.. an SS.. yeah.. I would take that over what your boys at Ford shovel us any day of the weak.. Well Ford competes with the Camaro(GT/350/350R)..obviously no Corvette competition but they do have a legitimate supercar that Chevy does not have.. Ford offers performance across waaaaay more platforms. Nothing against any of those Chevys. Those three are great in their respective classes and the Corvette fights well out of its weight class. And the SS..I feel is just underrated.. I said it somewhere else yesterday but I wish more were selling so I could pick one up used in a few years for a good price because it is an awesome car. It just depends what market for a car you're in. Ford offers performance variants down to their Fiesta ST and up the the GT and a lot in the middle. To each their own because I would take Ford's lineup of performance cars over Chevy's line of performance cars. Also, isn't the Camaro RS just like an aesthetic package..? Are we comparing Ford vs Chevy.. or Ford vs GM??? Certainly since Ford is only REALLY Ford.. with nothing else.. it should by the numbers have more performance oriented Variants than Chevy which also has Buick and Caddy to share in the performance. What does Ford have right NOW??? Mustang... Focus ST ...Fiesta ST... Taurus SHO.. Raptor??? That's really all they have GM has ATS-V, CTS-V.. CTS-VSport.. XTS-VSport.. Vette,.. SS... Camaro... Regal GS.. Verano Turbo... Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit the who Cadillac ATS and CTS line-up is more performance oriented than most of Ford.. 2.5L ATS included.. Hmmm.. I was only doing Ford Vs Chevy because those two actually compete.. we all know Ford has nothing for Cadillac. Buuuuuuut saying the Regal GS and Verano Turbo are performance cars is like saying the Edge Sport or Explorer Sport or the past Fusion Sport are performance vehicles. We all know they aren't. They just offer top trim with enough power to not be boring. I also don't really consider the VSports in this category. Just because they are faster than any Ford sedan doesn't make them actual performance cars like the true V-Series. Overall, I still don't think they have many more true performance cars than Ford does. YES they definitely offer more cars for the enthusiast such as the whole ATS/CTS/CT6 lineup and they will run circles around the average Ford sedan but they aren't actual performance variants. To me, GM has the ATS-V, CTS-V, Camaro SS, SS, Corvette. The VSports are gnarly and all, super badass having 400+hp. I just don't see them as actual performance variants. They seem like a BMW 550 to the base 535 or a MB E400 to the base E250. Obviously, just my personal opinion on them though.

So I had that typed up when my computer decided to freeze on the internet..(that is why it is also so faded..because it was frozen). Quick thinking, I took a snip of it and saved..otherwise I wasn't going to even retry. To continue.. I love to watch the big dog NHRS guys go at it FOUR WIDE(Top fuel guys, dragsters and funny cars inparticular but I'll watch the pro stock as well). I'll watch them even when they aren't four wide lol. I plan to go to my first NHRA top fuel event at the end of the summer(Sept25-27 they come to STL). When I was a younger lad back in high school I even enjoyed a little stint at our local dirt track watching the late models get after it. That fad faded pretty quick because I wasn't making much money and it was $25/week to go plus if I wanted anything to eat or drink.. The entire TUDOR sports car series would be awesome to watch but that stuff isn't covered..at all..as far as I know. The smaller divisions like; Continental Tire Sportscar Series, Cooper Tires Prototype Lites, Ferrari Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo, and Porsche GT3 Cup. They're shorter races, fairly close to factory cars(other than the prototype series), and not always the same guys occupying 1st or 2nd. Pretty much anything. I just love racing. I'd like to get a toy car some day as just a track car. Wouldn't have to be anyting fancy or expensive, just something I can beat on and drive the hell out of. By the time I could afford something like that I think something like a BRZ would be perfect. Miatas may be better in all aspects but I just can't be attracted to convertibles. Whew.. I kind of went all over the place with that!

Sorry for the late 'welcome'! I guess better late than never! Welcome!

Sorry for your loss, buddy..

http://www.imsa.com/sites/default/files/race_result_files/2015_TUSC_WGI_ProvisionalResults.pdf I believe that is correct. I remember the top three and they are the same as that list so hopefully it is correct. thanx. No probby!

That would probably be a hard car to beat, I wasn't thinking of non-American cars. That might have to be another rule change. What is great about the other 3800 cars is all have a flaw. The Camaro/Firebird should have the best handling, but are the slowest. Every car has a trade off, the Regal GS might be fastest in a straight line but would handle the worst. Another good oddball would be the 3800 powered Cutlass Ciera International. The answer to your Regal GS quandary is the Grand Prix GTP coupe. Exactly my pick would be the Grand Prix GTP, and because it'll be raced the coupe it would be.

On Fox Sports, right? There's a channel here called Motors TV that's been airing "streams" from the Fox Sports coverage live. Just wish they did the same with the NASCAR. Yeah it was on FS1 and I think the final hour went to FS2. Do you not get to watch NASCAR or you wish they covered the Tudor Series better like NASCAR? The 6rs at the Glen actually kind of sucked..the rain was soooo bad. Usually I enjor watching races in the rain but this was such a heavy downpour there were constantl cars sliding off course. They even red Flagged the race due to rain. Now that is impressive for a series that races in the rain. It finished the last 35 minutes under a yellow flag..

It's amazing to me that the 24hrs of Le Mans had absolutely terrible coverage yet the 6hrs at Watkins Glen are completely covered.

You're kidding... They can't fit a 255/65R17? Does it rub or something? On the current generation of Escape? Not a chance. Somebody has some 255/55r17s I think and they rub at full lock. I'll try and find the pic he posted of it. Okay it was 255/50r18 not 255/55r17s

^ For being a little guy, That thing looks tough! Too bad if something like that actually got produced they'd probably make the brakes too large to put a reasonable sized wheel on to therefore put a nice knobby tire like pictured. That is the situation the Escape owners are in(the forum i'm on). They want ^ look but you can't get a smaller wheel than a 17 to fit over the caliper so the "tallest" tire that can fit is a 235/55R17(I believe).

granted.. but THIS is now seriously asking for the 2.0L T Too bad Chevy doesn't have the balls to make it..

I remember reading that actually.. And the two engines we're talking about deliever power almost completely opposite. One is a small turbo 4 making a lot of low end power and it loses steam up top and the other is a good size V6 that builds and builds power till redline. I know tuning can fix A LOT of issues an ower has with their car but if we get in to the aftermarket world.. all of this new car talk means almost nothing because if you have enough money to modify a car..you can do anything you want. But, nonetheless, is your ability to tune your car less awesome. I love the aftermarket. It is just hard to talk about that and new cars.. hopefully I'm making sense..lol

Just for comparison sake.. Ford's 2.0T

The 3.6 in the Traverse/Enclave/Acadia according to Chevy's site is 288hp@6300rpm/270tq@3400rpm. So that graph isn't correct. I see it says it's for the SRX, they must have it tuned differently.

Lol am I talking to myself? It's the tune!! Tune, tune, tune! Give me 1 hour with an Enclave and it'll probably be able to do a burnout. You know, in case you want to lay down a patch when taking the kids to soccer practice. These cars are set up to pull timing for like 5 different reasons, it's asinine. Has nothing to do with gearing. The transverse V6 cars all have the same transmission as me, the Lambdas even have a more aggressive final drive ratio. I'm confused because your tune youre talking about transmission tuning correct? Not a tune for more power..right? Also, 265tq isn't anything special in a 3 row SUV..so yes a lack of torque still, imo.

Read more about the new Cruze or Focus RS? I'll read more about the fun car! ..345hp..AWD..

Not going to happen. New engine family only goes up to 1.5L because of the european displacement tax. Same reason Ford switched to the 1.5T in the Fusion after debuting with a 1.6T. Sonic SHOULD be getting an SS. It's about time GM got back into the sport compact game. The Sonic is BEGGING for it, and the RS was just a tease without more power. granted.. but THIS is now seriously asking for the 2.0L T Too bad Chevy doesn't have the balls to make it..

I'm with you on the overall chevy car styling. It isn't bad.. but it doesn't make me want to look twice. things may change when I see them in person but as of now.. "meh".

That is what I saw initially as well, a lot of Chrysler 200 in the shape.

In all fairness the headlight switch looks the same on all three of those interiors, and one of them is a Buick..lol

So, I'm trying to build one online(I know 2015 model) and I can't figure how to actually get the max towing with the dually. Basically, I can't find the dually option. I assume that is the option that maximizes towing capacity, right? ..jeez..I found it.. lol Well is the new truck is like the outgoing model the dually and diesel add $12,500 to the base price. 8300 - Engine 3000 - Trans 1200 - Dual rear wheels

It's probably quite costly to make a coupe when it really isn't going to be cheaper. Just different. People who probably want small economy cars want practicallity and small coupes aren't exactly that.

Where do you live that you still see Cavaliers on the road? Ho-LEE I worked with a guy last year who had just bought a 03 Cavalier coupe.. He needed something quick(not vehicluarly quick lol), cheap, and reliable. I actually helped ocnvince him of that over a Cobalt with a ton more miles. He was/is young and doesn't have much money and helps out his family a lot and the Cavalier was all basic with manual windows and such and I was telling him that vehicles this age/mileage will have things go and the more things that are electronic the more expensive and harder to fix they will become. Long story short, he loves his little Cavalier and the little EcoTech 2.2.
