@CzechMonster, why not Fred Firestone?

Sounds as though this works for you then. I LOVE big N/A motors but got tired of feeding so much when I only need the bigger amounts of power here and there. I got used to rowing the trans more when I had an S2000, fantastic car but being N/A and small cubic inchs I had to do some shifting to get into the power for…

I'm also interested in the EXC500, again quivering asshole fun. I'm 6'2" 270 and am just stupid enough for these things. Cars/trucks are fun but bikes make me laugh out loud often. I've raced mountain bikes back in the day and will be riding in the short future again as I'm nursing a torn Achilles tendon, surgery…

I was lucky to grab a 2012 Adventure 990 R before these new rolling computer versions came out. I'm still intrigued by the new ones but the one I have will be with me for quite some time, I foolishly sold off a 2005 carbed Adventure 950 and after a few other bikes I'm back on what I consider the best all around bike…

My KTM gets the best fuel I can get, as you know, most fun bikes need the higher octane.

I find 2,000 rpms is a good cruising speed fer me, no turbo, 4.0 V6 on 33's, I'd have to go 45 in 4th to drop to those rpms. Mt truck gets really really thirsty when trying to accelerate from that low of RPM.

I'm eyeballing 2008 3/4 Suburbans with the 87 octane swilling 6.0, the nice thing 08 and on gives is the 6 speed trans with that and driving "like a human" it will get the same empty and better than the 4Runner when I have it loaded with my wife, two 200 pound dogs all our crap in the roof box and me, especially when…

And I couldn't care less about D-bag Patrick. Yaya a midpack racer is not happy to here she sucks. Go crash into another car.

He's a comedian, I'm tired of hearing that comedians have to apologize for certain jokes. Get some thicker skin you fucking twats.

Not aimed at you, per say and did not mean to say you are "cheap", but to everyone that thinks its so much more for a tank of correct fuel. Like i said, I tried this and my T4R get 3 to the gallon better when im driving normally. Its being prepped for sale as it is now too small and the 3/4 ton suburban runs on 87…

Why lug it down so fucking far? Any car that is down that far in the revs will have a hard time getting going.

IT is NOT the entry level powertrain, the 3.7 is the base turd motor for you to fill with whatever dog piss you desire. Do not buy the premium turbo 4 and you can sto sounding crazy.

Superchargers(belt driven blowers) and turbo chargers came out of WWII so that the piston driven fighter planes at the time could make their peak power at high altitudes, nitrous oxide was used then as well for the same effect, more power at altitude to get after the baddies.

Thats not true now a days, my GTI had damn near 11:1 with 15 psi pushing into it, full boost and torque at 1500 or so RPM to 5500. When cruising on the highway it EASILY got out of it own way and once back to cruising speed I dropped boost and MPGs skyrocketed.

So you think that Ford should have designed a high compression turbo charged four to run on 87 octane? Why? All of my premium requiring cars, all of them including the motos, get premium fuel. Again, stop trying to lower the output of this motor because a handfull of cheap fuckers will not follow the manufactures…

The ecoboost 4 is not the entry level motor the 3.7 V6 is, you can run piss in that all you want, I would not care. The dealers need to educate these consumers better, its not the engines fault an enormous cheap ass will by it and start putting 87 in it and then complain. Fuck those assholes, read your owners manual…

Does the extra 4 bucks or so a tank really kill people to put premium fuel into a car that has high compression or is forced inducted? Then don't buy those cars. My 4Runner and my FJ require premium fuel, I did a test by running the T4R down to as empty as I could then filled it up with 87 octane and removed the…

I'm sorry, are you comparing newer technology to the 80's half assed attempt at turbos? That's like saying that you hope the new Beetle has heat because those old ones never had any heat, I have heard that comment way too many times even still since those came out. I will never be stuck in one automotive era, the…

But I don't drive my 335is around at full song at all times or it would get no fuel economy and then blow up. It makes me grin like an idiot when I go out on a nice day for some back road "sight seeing" but when driven like a normal human it gets great fuel economy. Yeah, big NA engines are fun but I've always…

The march of progress right? Yay more power and better efficiency.......and another maintenance step to get accustom to.
