I'm going to assume that the 2.5 has way more get-up, but I've driven a 5 speed Z3 with the 1.9 4 cylinder, and I don't think I've ever driven something that required so much WOT to keep up with city traffic. The stock shift knob had a propensity for coming off during hard shifts as well. It was a new knob (done)…

Take this, add some high-tech rollover protection like this...

As an idiot looking at the coverage of the CT6, it kind of sounds like it'll be a bigger second gen CTS. That car was sized a bit bigger than the 3 series, but smaller than the 5 series, so it could indirectly compete with both, but not quite directly compare to either. Since the 7 series is pretty well an S…

How many sets of tires did they give you?

I mean, if that was the only way I could get it, it wouldn't bother me.

Is Ford missing an opportunity by not making more cars out of aluminum? Is that short sighted?

So here in a year or two we'll have this AND the C7.R running at LeMans? All that's left is shaming Dodge back into racing the Viper. Between all this, the upcoming GM midengine car, the GT350R, the Z/28, the Hellcats, and the CTS/ATS-Vs...my 'Murica boner is so huge right now.

Huh, I warmed my car up until the coolant got up near operating temp this morning ~5 minutes, and my transmission was the same as always. In fact, I haven't noticed any difference in it due to temp, but maybe it's just high effort enough anyway that I don't notice.

My '12 actually has them. Speaking of which, I should change the bulb in one of them at lunch...

It does this other strange thing too, whenever I get in the car, it seems like my GPS can only find gas stations and tire shops. It's weird.

A-freaking-men. We got new Durangos at work, and the voice recognition works well on them for calling people, but I've yet to run into a system for texting that isn't worthless. There are about a dozen words the system in my Camaro will sucessfully recognize, and it won't let me dial someone by name, only by number.

I have the first two, and while I could totally live without the heated seats, the backup camera is really handy. I can back in and out of spots with the side mirrors obviously, but between my heinously large c pillars and postcard of a rear window, I literally could not see a small child, animal, bush, fire hydrant,…

Hey now, easy there with the stereotype debunking. There's no need for that. Seriously though, I'd really like to have an Evora, those just aren't exactly characteristics Lotus is known for hanging its hat on.

I'm doing those because I got them off a forum member for $350 shipped. I got a loaded M6 2SS with every option but the sunroof and auto for $27K, whereas an equavalent new SS with the 1LE package would be every bit of $42K, not including the NPP and Recaros I'd add if I ordered one. My plan is to use what I've…

I haven't driven a '10 or '11, but I've heard bad things compared to the FE4, or any other newer suspension. I've got most of what I need now, and soon I'll have 1LE sway bars, toe links, and a square set of tires on mine. Should be fun.

Granted, here's Mark Reuss, potentially making me eat my words: "If you think about Z/28 and ZL1, SS — think about the satisfaction that a ZL1 offers you today off of current Zeta. Think about that satisfaction moved down from an accessibility and model-range standpoint. Think about that. If you like the ZL1 today,…

Whenever I heard that the next Camaro was going to come out in 2016, I seriously considered saving up to get one whenever they came out, because if the ATS is any indication, it will be a fantastic drive. However, after looking at this, the spy phots that have come out, and the '14+ refreshed cars, I'm going to get…

I like the sound of this, although I really enjoy that Aston put someone who spent their last three decades at Lotus in charge of durability, noise levels and vibrations.

It had actually been sitting for around 2 hours. I parked it with hot brakes and then washed it, so I sprayed water all over them while they were still warm.
