Turbos are mufflers, the only things in line behind them should be down pipes with or without cats and maybe a resonator to kill drone but that should be it. My 335is is going to get some open mufflers so it can have its voice back, turbo inline 6's sound so damn good with the right intake/exhaust set up. I don't…

It really, really needs something puffing into that little heart to give it some more oomph. Make a step up "R" model for those of us that like some semblance of torque and horsepower. We drove a BRZ and my wife said she was going to fall asleep, too quiet and not enough throw you back in the seat, an STI version…

As a stupid person that lives in a northern state I had a hard look at one with the hard top. It doesn't really add that much weight and with a set of winter tires that car would make winter a much more fun 6 months. I get that people think that they should be light as a grasshoppers fart but sometimes it seems…

The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

GM has all this shit going on and oddly enough my 09 Suburban is doing its best impression of an improperly jail broken iPhone, it's a brick. I've been going through the engine wiring harness to find the source of an intermittent electrical gremlin that shuts the truck down. I'm on ECM number two so now I have to…

Ha, you said work the knob and tranny......

I rode a bike with forward controls once. Once.

Oh, I wasn't feeling attacked, had I felt that I would have worm holed my way through my monitor and attacked you in person. ;) I merely wanted to let folks know that there are those of us out there, many, many of us, that use these big fuckers for what they are intended to be used for. I'll be the first to admit I…

The illusion of practicality? I use my Suburban to take me into remote areas of the west to camp, hike, ride my enduro and just get away from the rest of you for a week/weekend. I use the 4WD to to get to some of my favorite spots, I'm not running jeep trails but I've gotten the battleship sized pig into and out of…

I guess its dangerous and distracting when your giving it to yourself on the highway?

I've driven dually trucks, you couldn't give me one unless I was pulling a huge RV or race trailer. They are shit in snow or ice, but I guess some folks need to look cool before anything else.

I was actually responding to DollaMoneyAve.......

I have a 2009 Suburban to haul large dogs, camping gear, crap and motorcycle parts and gear for racing and would LOVE if Chevy offered these with a duramax or even a smaller 4.0-4.5 liter duramax so it could get better fuel economy. I do ride a motorcycle as much as I can but it would be nice if the truck was able to…

Stick a modern much more efficient V8, I'd have to go with an all aluminum LS chevy, better trans, suspension so it rides and handles and appropriate tires and this could get much better fuel economy. I would daily drive this when not on the motorcycle. Haul my dogs and pull a trailer in fine style. Hell, if you…

We were using it as a truck full time as I replied above. We actually ended up with one, the rest died and were replaced with 3/4 tons with utility boxes, it was a square body style regular cab. It was loathed. Even the owner laughed when he threw some one the keys. It was a tough little bugger. It rolled down a hill…

It was the i4 auto trans. We used it to haul stuff at an excavating company I worked at. The bed usually had a diesel plate in the back, a material compactor, along with a 40 gallon diesel tank for fueling skid steers. It never got very far into the teens mpg wise, 12-14, my 454 was knocking down about 10-12 but then…

I've had the displeasure of driving some old S-10's in a previous job. I never got the point of them, they are small and never got much better fuel econ than the 3/4 ton pickups in the fleet. Our 454 powered 4500 series dump bed was only 3-4 mpg off of the little S-10. I kept asking the owner of the company if I…

Thanks.

I don't have a "digital" antenna hooked up to my 60", it's a $20 thing that pulls in 35 channels for me. You location will determine how many channels you'll find. I get all of the major networks, a bunch of PBS and some independent stuff. It's fine for me, I stream stuff or watch blue rays.

If this can lead to smaller engines putting out that kind of increase in efficiancy then pair it with chassis made out of aluminum and carbon fiber to keep overall weight of vehicles down and it will extend the working life of the ICE. I don't think the ICE will every go fully away but be an option to full/partial…
