So heavy EV’s with 300 tread width tires are bad?

1500lb vehicle with 165 horsepower has a better power to weight ratio and would likely match if not exceed it’s speed due to better coefficient of drag.

Mostly sarcasm but I’m glad you liked it :)

Yep but what’s odd is how the things *they* like are things we need to learn to accept or we get banned from using it. But things we like are just fleeting wastes of time... and we can’t stop them when unskilled.

Basically naysayers ignoring people who say they want features. Then run ads and social tricks to get people to say they really don’t need the features they wanted.

I remember back when I worked there guys in product development used to complain about that engine and how it wasn’t designed right.

Dude they were practically the same company.

I really just don’t want Electric vehicles. Wish they realized that.

So it got the AYC differential first seen on the Lancer Evolution in 2008?

Right, my 100mpg capable car would instantly be desired by them and the value would rise insanely to the point that my insurance costs would rise up to ruin the savings on fuel.

180,000 miles of averaging 74mpg essentially means I get a free truck just in the gasoline savings.

You think moving 9000lbs of weight with Electricity is green?

I guess I am the only one thinking you can just change turbochargers/boost/tuning to get as much power as you wanted out of the 3.5l engine.

I ask them if the frame is Aluminum and never-rusting like mine.

Correct, the *entire* frame is Aluminum. But only the 1st gen with the covered rear wheels. After that they cheapened out and went to “normal” production. After 2006 it switched to a steel frame, regular 4 cylinder engine, no manual transmission anymore, lost the oil cooler, lost the aluminum brake calipers, aluminum…

Like those “secret” orders at fast food restaurants, you just gotta order the “magazine-cheating-towing-upgrade-package”.

Wow looks pretty rusty in there. Makes me realize how nice my 2000 is to be rust free in the wheel wells.

Wow what a huge letdown, this was literally a basic stock photo-like video with no content.

That’s cool, but my numbers were much different.

Honestly most engines all advance until the knock sensor senses small amounts of knock (<1-3 degrees). This is how it “detects” octane if there isn’t a dedicated sensor like some flexfuel vehicles have.
