ISF was v8, more like new turbo Aristo.

Besides what bacon said, I will also point out that non egr combustion is hotter, its why they first added lead to gas, to cool the combustion and reduce knock. When you delete the egr, the idle combustion gets hotter then the computer thinks it is, which leads to coking on the valve faces and head, which can lead to…

COTD!?!?! But its so early?

4l/6.2l = the bmw s65 has 65% of the displacement of the ls3.

That is simply a factor of displacement and engine design. A DOHC engine can do everything a pushrod or SOHC can do at any given rpm, but they are normally smaller displacement.

a hanging valve will not cause an impact, the valve recesses the seat, not hangs down further.

Taurus wet: 4000 lbs.

If a mazda 3 gets 24 in any condition that mazda 3 is fucking broken yo. Even with the old 2.3 I can cane that car all day and get over 30 back.

Jalops don’t buy cayennes right now, they are cheap as dirt and come with amazing options, why would they buy performance suvs in the future?

I love it, producing fuel and vehicles is free from carbon, unless that vehicles is a Tesla, at which point everything counts. I love you using a prius as an example as well, a car that also has a massive battery but have somehow been excluded from being considered a source of carbon.

So tie the price of the fuel and trucks to wages. In my area in my trade wages have gone down about 10% since 2003, and this is typical for all trades, either totally stagnant or decreasing. What does it matter what inflation is at, efficiency will always be about disposable income, and as you said, dollar wages, what…

Paseos are fucking awesome, but the 4efe is not a reliable engine, as it gets older and tends to eat main bearings. I kept one alive for years, went through 4 engines before I threw in the towel, and it was not easy to work on and the engine was heavy as shit.

Makes sense, black people ARE generally poor judges of character, have lower iq’s, and mostly considered pretty stupid.

have you seen the inside of a new, less-then-top-trim Ford pickup? You can’t get more plastic than that.

please please write about the sterling, such an awesome, mysterious car.

Outside of duel zone climate controls, or even including, how much would it cost to install the gadgets you mentioned in an older Tahoe? How close would that Tahoe be to a new one when you are finished? That, is the question of value.

You forgot “when gas is cheap”.

Over 100k in Canada for a loaded one, it boggles my little pleb mind.

The main issue is it’ll cook the exhaust valves, weakening the metal and making them brittle. But valves can be made of titanium, so who knows?

Shout out to me??!??!
