With a 305ci V8 putting out maybe 140-170hp, these things were not very quick.

Well, seeing this is in Puerto Rico where the roads are shittier than...well they are just shitty. It wouldnt matter what kinda car the police were driving. I would be more embarassed being thrown in the back of this. One thing to note is that this car has a super turning radius making it easy to get through tight…
This must have been given to the officer that the department hated. I would be more intimidated by a bicycle cop.
Yes its small and looks more like the geek squad. In my area they use these as undercover vehicles to catch speeders. The police department has 2(1 black, 1 silver) tinted out and packing 180hp.
Looks like Detroit News changed it back to the original version. I guess when you get caught, and smeared by an important auto blog, thats bad for business.
Looks like Detroit news put the original story back.
@Copperhead Spiegel: Try driving the Miata, it had a huge blowjob inhibiting hump in the middle.
I will go with Skip Barber Racing School.
Dont forget the Buick Regal, Equinox, Terrain, Impala, Crown Vic, Flex, Edge, MKS, MKT, Challenger, 300, Caravan/Town&Country/Routan, Civic, Ridgeline, MDX, Corolla, Matrix, Rav4, and RX350... Not to mention a whole bunch of engines, transmissions, components and suppliers. Looks like paying for healthcare through…
I work for them, and our wages are very comparable to UAW or union wages. Think about it, if you live in a poorer area where living costs are less, making less money equals as good of a lifestyle. This is not Mexico, and Toyota is not exploiting our workforce. They pay between $16-24 to start, and thats a pretty…
Vandalizing anything for such a stupid reason shows how stupid people really are. I never heard of people from Michigan scratching up their GM's when they closed all the plants in the 90's and 00's just to ship production to Mexico, Korea, and China. Yes they make heavy components in China like engines and…
Seats 4 maybe, comfortably - not. The 3 Series is even tight for anyone tall getting into the back, and any BMW coupe has barely useable back seats. Your right about the other specs though, they are really quick. I would skip the DCT transmission in that car, the manual is far more fun to drive...spend the $1500 on a…
Hey, to each there own...keep it classy!
I always see the "new" retro muscle cars as more of a mid/3/4 life crisis. Where I live its all 40-60 year old guys buying the Challenger, Camaro, and even some buy the Mustang GT. I would say the Mustang is a good 1/4 life crisis car...as long as its not a v6 convertible...thats a chick/stripper car!
huh? all you posted was "this"
I gotta say its the Mazdaspeed3. I bought one when I was 25, and can honestly say its the perfect car. Its not STI or EVO expensive, but it's pretty much as fast. The Cobalt SS Turbo was a faster car, but it was a Cobalt and lacked any refinement you would expect for $25k. The VW GTI is more refined and also a…
This app isn't for driving the historic route 66...as most of the road has been re-routed and closed. The 'Route 66' name is the name of the software. But yes, it would be interesting to drive the stretches that are still open, and see all the history.
You are correct, they did have a problem with the pedal sticking. I remember hearing about this a few years back. From what I heard it was very few and far between, and not anything that required a recall. I know the customer that complained about back in 2006-07 was some sand/salt and crap that got in there. The…
@paintandswim09: I am still waiting on my free iPad...I was told its shipping from Nigeria.
