Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Michelin’s are the best tires you can buy in my opinion. And Citroën's aren't half bad either. In fact, you could argue that they're one of the most influentials car builders
Like I said, here come the trolls!! Paid version maybe? Probably...
Volvo wagon is really and truly the best choice here. I’ve got one in my driveway waiting for my 15 year old daughter...how cool is it that my little girl is going to start out with RWD manual wagon?!
I hear it’s 75 MPG’s from the world’s finest and most reputable source of all information, the RT. You can take whatever they say to the bank.
Here come the trolls!!
So cool and yet saddens me at the same time to see these old birds get obliterated....which is also pretty damn cool if I must say. Truly torn on this one. My uncle was Navy F-4 pilot in Vietnam, so I’ve got a big soft spot for the Phantom. But there’s no better test than the real thing.
Damon, any idea of what exactly the communication between MB’s will be? Some type of autonomous driving aid...maybe something cool like highway/freeway drafting? Collision avoidance? Grey Poupon awareness for the Pullman’s?
I'm so with you on this...I'd jump all over that Cactus if I could. Seems like it'd be the perfect family hauler to me. I just love me some Citroën's!
Yep, I’ve heard of this GT thing...although I don’t believe it’s got the same engine as the rest of Ford’s 3.5 Ecoboosts. Maybe I’m wrong, but from what I remember reading, it was developed with Cosworth and is a different engine...shares displacement, but is not the same, although it’s called an Ecoboost for…
Don’t forget that the Hillsboro Airport has their airshow coming up on July 17th-19th...it’s usually better than you think. Last year was a “down year”....and they still pulled a F-22 among other things. I’ll be there on the 18th for sure...
I guess the power’s there, and supposedly the efficiency is too. Supposedly. But of all the turbo’d cars I’ve driven, not one had the throttle response of of built NA engine. Not to mention the sound. Yikes! That sound can be quite awful...
What’s the upper end of potential power that the 3.5 Ecoboost can put out? With say mainly stock components other than the standard intake and exhaust treatments that go along with increasing the turbo’s output? And while we’re at it, what’s the same power potential of the 2.3 Ecoboost?
In my humble, but right opinion, the Solstice would’ve been better had GM mearly made it something other than a Pontiac. In my mind, and most people’s minds in my general age range, (somewhere between 3-97) all relate Pontiac with plastic garbage deserving of boat anchor duty on the Great Lakes. And we’re talking cut…
I know you didn't mean border....what did you mean?
CLA GTS with a supercharged, straight pipe, crossplane crank inline 4....oh yeah!?!
Maybe a motorcycle like engine with less torque and more top end HP would be a good match for some people? I like a rev happy engine....I’m not asking for S2000 power, but a sweet gearbox and 8K RPM’s sounds like more fun that the undersquare sky active engine....I know it’s got good “balance” with the chassis, but I…
And the power delivery is more or less perfect...yeah, bring on the electrics...can’t wait for better batteries/power storage...
Agreed....and about the engine, if the A model doesn’t get one, or have significant improvement in its overall development, well, it should get scrapped. Or its #’s minimized, and with the hundreds of billions saved, make a new airplane(s).....or restart the F-22, buy the “Silent Eagle”, get the F-16XL going again…
I disagree. The most expensive project in military history, and the idea that an engine competition isn’t worth the money/time/effort...?....the JSF has been nothing but money, time & effort with little results...and it appears to be a bit underpowered...so you’re saying that something that costs hundreds of millions…
