@balthisar: is 2.5 ton what it can _carry_? Because it seems bigger than 5000 lbs.

Biggest one I drive regularly, at 6000 lbs:

Subaru Brat. She told me it was a 3 cylinder engine...but doing the research for this post, I think she meant it was RUNNING on 3 cylinders.

Spyker.

@OM617952: ahh yes, the LSx series is junk. (if you listen quietly, you can hear my eyes rolling from just about anywhere on the internetz)

It looks cute...not $60 cute...but $20 bargain bin cute.

What makes TGUK successful:

@Fredric Mitchell: And yet, neither has Top Gear UK...every single frame of every single thing doesn't need to be Politically Correct...Top Gear is pretty much the polar opposite of PC.

My 76 Pontiac Ventura had a 2-bbl 350 rated at a groundpounding 120 hp....At altitude, I rekon I was puttin, maybe, 80 hp to the ground.

@doodzed: Well spoken Armchair-quarterback-dude!

@beefmalone: That's the problem with these cars...figger out something once and you're an expert...and you'll never use that skill again. Still, that intake sure is torquey!

@NH-Rulz: The only improvement would be to handpaint puffy clouds and unicorns on it...you know, make it an art car.

@beefmalone: I did. shudder. four times. (Sears sells a 12-pt 1/4" ratchet that made it tolerable...that and slotting the thread side of the screws and turning them up from the 'wrong side')

@GrandmaSideways: Only a real enthusiast wouldn't give a flying f*ck as they wouldn't care about bending a Bimmer.

@GV_Goat: The runners were too long, and the manifold base was sized for a 302 cu in motor. It was ALL DONE by 5000 rpm.

I like this, if only because it fit under the stock hood.

Bernoulli Converginator. You want a real kick? You go Bernoulli.
