  1. She's a smoke show in my book. - - - - -
  2. This business is still in business, right near me. I doubt this truck is still in service ~ Another classy, attractive dame with great taste in cars ~ Happily. Oh, and; cherries. I guess they could be tomatoes, but she's a tomato, so it's all still good.
  3. Looks like a fastback sedan to me. Hatches are 98% 2-box designs.
  4. Make unknown ~ [EDIT :: Detroit Electric]
  5. ^ Not by you; you repeatedly claimed the ATS/CTS were being cancelled and not being replaced. It was your way of proclaiming the 2 series 'failed'. I was here, I read the posts.
  6. Much like you believed the ATS & CTS were "being cancelled and not replaced", you are once again being purposely obtuse/ unwillingly confused.
  7. Silver C2 corvette convert, top down, mint stocker, hauling ass on highway.
  8. ^ speaking from first-hand experience hanging out with your underwear-inspecting militia buddies?
  9. Price is Right is running 'Dream Car Week'- my wife (working from home) said they featured a Model 3. I asked how much it was, because PIR is NOTORIOUS for only offering no-option cars… and she said $51K.
  10. smk likes a tight little redline window of 250 RPM, both so it can be 'proper' AND can be called out for 'benchmarking/copying' a certain singular brand.
  11. Interesting, and so telling. 6100 RPM is too low and 7200 is too high.
  12. Just going to be wheezing up there in the thin air, not going faster.
  13. Right- 13% - or about $55K. $55K to 75K is not 100%.
  14. Yes you were ~
  15. There is no engineering reason to have a redline anymore than 100-200 RPM above peak power. It’s utterly pointless to have one 600 RPM above.
  16. In looking thru the 2019 Silverado brochure, I can't find where the term "truck engine" was used. There really is no such thing. GM put the 350 in millions of trucks, and thousands of Corvettes. No one ever thought to twist the phrase 'the Vette has a truck engine in it".
  17. Nobody buys an a-class amg. If 'most people don't care about have more than 250 HP', what are they going to think about a camry running away from their entry-level MB? 188 HP is laughable; the CLA had 208 HP 6 years ago and the a-class is the same size.
  18. That's like a triple workout. - - - - -
  19. Obviously you don't believe your own post. There is in the A-class: 188 HP. That's 15 hp less than a camry 4-banger.
  20. Super clean- nice! I drove this a few winters plowing for a buddy, short bed 4x4, tho it was a 350. It was a '91, tho I think that's a different year grille. Short WB worked well plowing, had mileage in the 90's in 2014 with a excellent condition red velour bench. Rust ate it apart tho, I believe it's dead now.
  21. You believe redline level determines if a car is a performance car or not? ?
