Yeah, I averaged 28 in mine with mixed city and highway driving. 22 is more V8 territory.

Not gonna lie, I am pretty jelly. I think I’ve seen one in the wild? Of course, they’re pretty sneaky so who knows. Never seen one at a dealer either though. It’s pretty ridiculous, and quite the shame.
I paid $24k for my 2013 BMW 335i with a CPO warranty. That would have my recommendation.
The SRT Magnum was still a pretty hefty 4250lb, but I think maybe a little more balanced due to the longer roof. Don’t get me wrong, the Challenger does handle its weight surprisingly well, but it’s still a tank. I don’t really enjoy driving either of them, but I still have this strange attraction to the Challenger.
I have many times. A friend of mine has one. They’re boats.
They softened it presumably because neither the street nor the track is a perfectly flat, even skidpad. A softer car will handle better in most cases than an overly firm car. The Chargers handle like shit because they’re entirely too heavy.
Why would I look up the handling characteristics of a four year old car? Chevrolet improved on the platform and made it more, well I don’t know if I would say nimble, but more performance oriented. Dodge has given the Hellcat more power and...that’s about it. It still weighs 4600lb dry, compared to the SS’s 4000 even.
I’ve driven the new Chargers, they’re not exactly the most spry of cars.
It’s also where you’re going to be heading if you attempt a turn in one of these yachts.
Putting a manual car in neutral at a red light is the right thing to do. Reduces wear on the throwing bearing and prevents accidental launches by your foot slipping off the clutch. The latter of which I have seen and it was hilarious. Nobody got hurt, but there was certainly the opportunity for injury.
New Ford police package cars have it as part of the trip computer. I would imagine this has a similar feature, as it is painfully simple to implement.
Oh, so it’ll be 4400lb?
I don’t think the train would have actually hit them. They travel pretty slow in environments like that, and can stop pretty quickly. It looked like the train was accelerating once the car had cleared the tracks too, so my guess is the worst that would have happened was the line being delayed a little.
Yeah, I wouldn’t do that. Aside from the fact that you can’t see and are getting blasted by all that snow, it’s also illegal. Or, at least it is in Oregon. I would imagine it to be illegal in other states as well.
You can pass plows, just not on the right.
Ford had a similar thing back in the 60s and 70s with the F-100 and F-150. They were both “half tons” but the F-150 was clearly a more capable truck.
I got my 2013 335i coupe for $24,500 with a CPO warranty. It sounds great, drives great and looks great. I’d argue that it looks better than the slightly disproportional, but still rather attractive 1 series. No DCT in mine, but that ZF 6 speed is still an excellent transmission.
The tC was meant to be the “spiritual successor” to the Celica, and that’s not entirely difficult to see. Unfortunately, they gave it a Corolla, and later, a Camry motor, and it was just generally a terrible car to drive.
EPAS is not “drive by wire”
