Perhaps, but, there are a few sections out there with excellent visibility and NO traffic for miles. I’ve seen an indicated high of 148 mph on my HUD and numerous displays of 130+ while traversing SH 130 (aptly named it turns out). It is a ripoff, however, and if you utilize the section that connects to 290 for a…

All I did was call out crap data that seemed as if it was picked out of lala land, so, I wasn't dismissed because class was already over.

Wow, aren’t you impressive? I actually cross-shopped the SS sedan with the following: CTS-V, M3, C63 and briefly, SRT-8. I ended up with the Holden Commodore VF2 SS-V because it was the best overall drive, not to mention deal. My SS is now replete with Holden badges not because I’m a douchebag, marque whore, but…

You actually compared the Fiesta to A truck, do you realize this? The 454 SS was a single cab, short bed Silverado 1500 with a 454 that made 230HP, not sure what site called it a Camaro 454 SS but it was an error. The 1993 Camaro with a V8 was the Z28 and it had the 275HP 350cid LT1, 0-60 was 5.2 - 6.0 and 1/4 was…

I laughed when I read “piston rods” multiple times in the article, I’ve always known them to be connecting rods and have never heard of them referred to as such. Also, I like that you referred to the static compression “piston rods” as “single, dumb, forged rods” - while this is technically not wrong, most connecting…

Or a 1 yr old CPO SS for $36K, most definitely. My SS’ MyLink infotainment is far superior even to the CUE in the used CTS-Vs I looked at. I can only imagine how pissed I’d be if I forked over $70K for the Alfa and it had the type of flaws listed in the Times article, prepo cars or not, this doesn't bode well for them.

I think my 2014 SS is a far better choice than a WRX. Huge backseat and trunk plus rear AC/heat vents as well. Oh yeah, it’s also faster around a track and in a straight line. Paid 36k for my 8k mile CPO ‘14 because I actually wanted to go back to automatic due to commute issues.

Agreed, and the E came after the 500 rather than before. Sadly I don’t recall houndstooth being available in the States at that time, but, I was busy buying a Sentra SE-R in ‘92.

Cool, an MB engineered and built by Porsche, hot stuff back ‘92.
