The 5 cylinder engine in the Acura Vigor, named the g series, along with the chain driven longitudinal mounted transmission in the Vigor and second gen Legend. There are no hushed tones and a secret black market for these parts, they were unreliable and died when they died.

Maybe the Mercedes 500sl engine from the late 90s? Also looks pretty close to the early 4.2 in the Audi "v8" from the late 80s/early 90s.

Im building a 1968 Country Squire right now with a 300hp 4.6 cop car chassis under it, posi rear yada yada. It's just about done!

If you lose 25% with a 4000lb load your driving a 6+L diesel that gets 13-14l/100km. Any gasser less than 7000lbs curb weight will double consumption towing a car and trailer.

As a super fan of the 80's- 90's Civics, and I drove one to my test drive of the newer one, they absolutely captured the way the old cars feel, they honestly just feel like they have another gear (drove a manual) and are about 1 gears worth faster. If the 4 door came in actual colors, I would be driving it today.

How many exhaust manifold bolts have you broken? If the answer is zero, you still have some Ram ownership to do.

And all the Subarus at rallies are WRX, so that the smaller rims rally tires go on can clear the brakes.

Well, you got rid of your brz, so maybe you are just bullshiting.

If you look at the torque curve for both still engines you’ll see the look exactly the same up until about 5500 rpm. This is pretty much going to be the same for the B58, the main difference is how it performs at peak, but when 70-80% of the power delivery has the exact same profile, it doesn’t make the car that much…

The stinger gives up very little to the m3, possibly nothing at all, it’s quite an impressive car.

Shot in the dark here, but the timing belt tensioners are asymmetrical, hydraulically actuated, and not pinned to the actual guides. It would be impossible to tell without it running, but I bet they fail in a specific way, or lose pressure, causing the chain to jump around.

even without the filter, your pics have a special quality that really makes me feel like I’m there. the photo of the AMG GT up there is particularly hot.

Best: the Kia Stinger GT. What an insane car, for the test drive experience it was better then the 340 and anything Cadillac let me drive, better appointments, more comfortable, and it really seemed to know its job, being fancy and comfortable but brutally fast, better then most sport luxury vehicles.

Sounds like the same personality traits as Jobs and Disney; these guys dont see themselves as running a company, they see themselves executing a dream and everyone that works for them is helping them achive that dream.

I think it looks really good, I have a neibour with one and it always looks good to me.

100% agree. I have been a massive fan of civics since the 90's, and the new one is the best driver since the 88-91 ef, but everything else on it sucks, lack of interesting colors, crazy polarizing design, useless rear seats, useless sized hatch area (at least halfway responsible is the agressive slope on the hatch),…

Man, you are just filled with guesses, arnt you?

Dear united states,

I just finished my dream road trip, Mazda6 manual wagon with the 3.0, in a total circumnavigation of North America. In 30 days. I do believe it was just under 22,000 kms. We had an instagram, but stopped posting about a week before we finished, we were just enjoying ourselves and didnt want to spend more time posting.

I have driven all around seattle in a car with 120hp, naturally aspirated. I never had an issue, heck I never even noticed, seattle is so close to sea level it seemed to have adequate power. I drove to denver after, and after circumnavigating north america, I can honestly say that is the only time I wanted for more…
