My 6000LB 2000 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with an iron-block 6.0L LQ4 gets that they way I drive it. Granted it does have the more relaxed gearing and I drive it like old people f...hmm, eat icecream.

I don't think this is an Easter egg, jut a shot of gauges. This truck should be at least at 20MPG.

What are you seeing for real world MPG. I'm thinking about one as a daily commuter car, about 100 miles a day.

The Abarth seems to have a good mix of sportiness, economy and badge interest for me. I've driven it and it competitors and it makes me smile more. Its tall body offers a bit more "moving around space" than…

I think they'll still sell a lot of V6s. They are simpler and will be sold under that list price, where the turbo may be more solidly priced. Also don't forget that a lot of lower end Mustangs are sold to people that don't care about performance potential as much.

As you said the turbo may not have better MPG. Also we…

Same here. I listened to it over and over and didn't hear to problem until I read the to original version had a slur in it, then I could hear an "N" in the mumbles. But I don't think this is a serious issue or should be made one. It is pretty obviously not a racist personm. Can he be a cock, sure. But he spend an…

Don't feel too bad. These cars weren't classics at the time. They got crashed and they burned to the ground because they were used. As cars should be.

I almost joined twitter yesterday, just to follow Clarkson so I could see his posts on the subject.

It doesn't have to be the old CRX, but it does have to show the Abarth and Mini S that Honda is still relevant.

I always wanted Need For Speed to do Need For Speed: Shitboxes. Have roughed up econoboxes in a game a lot like Underground. Cars could be upgraded, but as they increase in performance the more likely they are to have a catastrophic failure. The cars would also get in worse and worse shape the more racing on them…

I said high-ish, because I couldn't remember how high, not a slight on the engine, sorry if it came across as such.

It think the GT and the XRS are interesting mixes and at the time they came out good value for the money; Probably still are. But I stick by my feelings that the engine and the body didn't match up well.…

Oh ok, sorry I didn't read it that way. I am a bit dense though and there are folks out there claiming that their [non-outstanding car they own] is the best car ever and get bent out of shape when told otherwise.

Chrysler's K platform was born at the worst period of the automotive industry, so nobody expected much in the first place, yet Chrysler managed to surprise us all with a run that lasted until 1995. Amazing achievement considering the products.

Turn it down a notch. The vibe was cool, but one must admit that it hasn't aged well. I love the looks and even wanted one until I drove Both the GT and the XRS Matrix and realized that it wasn't as sporty as sold. Sort of a combo between a Corolla wagon and Celica GTS. The large body made the high-ish reving 1.8 seem…

Cool to hear it from someone who was there. That had always been my assumption on what happened. I had once bought the wrong pitch nuts and discovered it while installing them. They will go on, and at time even torque, but they doesn't quite hold properly. Neat to know that my assumption was correct. People keep…

Yeah, just pointing out how much that combo would have been the Starquest. It looks so much like one just the way it sits.

Basicly, make it a Starion?

I love the first gen car. Both the hard and soft tops are beautiful and in line with some of the best looking cars ever. It is a car that can get lost though. It's lines have been borrowed or are close to many other cars of the time. This makes people who see the car for the first time think they know what the car is.

I say Porsh and call it good. I pisses off Porsche folks. But the truth is that is the US English pronunciation. It isn't like we don't rape other German pronunciations.

Probably not a brake fluid spill on the hood. Dodges just had crap paint back then.

These wings can do more than just provide down force. They can also provide directional stability. An autocross buddy of mine had an Evo RS and had a change to drive an Evo with a wing. He note the cars are being different at speed, sighting the uprights as much of a contributor to the stability as downforce given by…
