  1. life will be easier VIBE FREE , those cheapskates can go elsewhere
  2. 12U cyclone gray metallic - looks like the old Impala SS slate green
  3. too bad we sold the light green 06 we had on the floor today most of the people in that demographic that would buy them can't afford GTOs anyway , and there is down right hostility to the GTO in some corners , neat cars , priced wrong , too bad , they ran almost a full second quicker than the 64-74 GTOs in the quarter , 13.12 was the fastest I saw , the IRS really killed 60 foot times , almost On par with the 02 WS6 Trans Am at a 12.95 , the only stinking ford that could outrun that was a 124,000 dollar GT
  4. maybe all the fat stored in american fatheads has paralyzed their brains
  5. for the most part that is all GM knows - Winning Races --brother
  6. got a Tundra 2500 or 3500 ? available with 8.1 ? just a Toy for yuppies
  7. In 1938, General Motors developed the first line of cars to sport automatic transmission -- Oldsmobiles that offered "Hydra-Matic drive." The cars were introduced to the public in 1940. In 1941, Chrysler followed suit and introduced three different cars that offered their version of automatic drive, "Vacamatic" (later called "Fluid Drive"). Automatic transmission was a fairly common option on most American cars by 1948. We steered over to the official Oldsmobile site to learn more about the innovative line of cars. In the History section of the site, we found an interactive timeline that offered a bit more information about Hydra-Matic drive: It provided true clutchless driving with four forward speeds. Its fluid coupling between engine and transmission eliminated the clutch and its associated foot work. Olds made the breakthrough Hydra-Matic available on all models for only an extra $57. Not only was GM the first to market with automatic transmission, according to Chrysler's site, Vacamatic was really only semi-automatic. It featured four speeds and would switch automatically between the two lower or two higher gears, but the driver needed to use the clutch to switch from a lower gear to a higher gear or vice versa. So there you have it -- in this race, Oldsmobile was the clear winner.
  8. So you are saying GM should not innovate but just use the same shopping cart that Toyota and all of these half assed car makers use and buy from the guy you claim as inferior ? Back to the subject - CAMAROS RULE !
  9. Debate : Bugatti Veyron ? Get real , F1 cars have trannies that handle loads of torque too hahaha turd Just bringing up technical points that lots of people including don't seem to understand . Hydros were the original no clutch pedal automatic
  10. Disposing of myths that hurt my take home pay is not being an apologist ! I should run GM marketing !
  11. GM only invented the automatic trans GM just started buying Aysin crap with the equinox and now the solstice , big deal , I am sure we will have big problems on the torrent like we did on the RAV 4 back in 2000 when I worked on Toyotas GM s 6 speed is the most advanced auto overdrive in the world with some of the highest torque capacities anywhere Benz and BMW buy lots of GM Hydramatic transmissions Lots of Toyotas use GM Harrison Radiators ,and condensers , Delco radios Alternators , batteries one of the reasons the General spun off Delphi was all of the outside car companies buying GM components Does Toyota build or ever build a 505 hp , naturally aspirated engine ? Does Toyota Build or ever built a 469 hp 4.4 litre engine ? Does Toyota build or ever built a 400 hp engine ? Does Toyota really think they can take over the full size truck market the way they may have sold some camries ? How come every V6 pickup and 4 runner built between 90-99 needed their head gaskets replaced (toyota gleefully covered those under warranty - must have been fearful of a congressional investigation !!) 2 and 4 cam. Yet they went to the mat to avoid covering sludged up camry and solara and minivan and avalon V6s , causing much damage to their consumer friendley reputation
  12. but , hey , these suburban owners probably never spent a penny in these dealers they demand to have their trucks fixed at
  13. what dorks , easy cleaning , all you have to is remove the rotors and pop up the sensors , even the knuckle draggers at midas can do this , but if it is pre 2000 , needs a hub/bearing
  14. GMC - the only truck with 2 sets of engineers - Chevy does the truck - GMC does the emblems and hubcaps . Smokey Yunick 1970
  15. Toyota BUYS their trannys from Aisyn , Nissan engines always feel stronget than Toyota across the board and I am currently enjoying the Pics of Toyotas latest , laughable effort of a full size truck Tundra 2 . Did the Tundra sell any better than the T100 ?
  16. 50% in the 50s and sixties , that was before we decided in the US to be the world trade nice guy and drop all tariffs
  17. The problem is the neo socialists were in charge for forty years - taxing the crap out of us with tarrifs and fees that are hardly constitutional , the republicans do not have the stones to roll back all of this evil , so , we get puny tax cuts that yield BIG results , helping out poorly managed car makers is not in the constitution , the airlines might be another story , as in a national security issue , but most of you Bush Bashers think we have domestic spying anyway
  18. socialism is proven not to work in the long run , when you have no argument or are too dumb to come up with one , make yourself sound smart and call the other guy names , I don't think a bailout using my tax money is necessary , it did not help BLOPAR in the long run as most socialist programs
  19. Why is the F150 better ? Engine SUCKS - no power , ages poorly - leaker - explosive - low tech transmission -non truck styling - poor handling
  20. Uglier than the last one , should sell like HOTCAKES - welcome to Bizzarro world 2006
  21. I would rather exploder win truck of the year than the RIDGELINE , which is really tonkatoy of the year
  22. I have an idea - move to Japan because then you won't be saddled with extra slow turds that Acura is forced to sell here because ....um .. they just can't sell those super secret street beasts in the US because they would be so awesome that the Corvettes would never ever sell again . HA Slow , silly looking - boo hoo , GM stole my headlamp designs , give me a break , they are only headlamps , GM makes actual performance cars , not pseudo performance . V6 , ha ha , no turbo , haha , lame
  23. No , not honest But who in the Fortune 500 is??
  24. Acura does not sell in the numbers of Accord and civic , or lexus or Cadillac or BMW . The no V8 policy of Honda hurts them . I don't think your ruse about an NSX vs Corvette holds water either . The NSX has never been in the Corvette performance level , just an overpriced toy for rich fools that have not an inkling about cars , looks sporty
