The original muscle cars were nothing more than your average family cars with more powerful motors dropped in so that people could go faster. If those people could have gone faster with smaller motors, and gotten better fuel economy while they were at it, they would have. The V6 in this Challenger makes about 25 HP

I’m not going to lie, Jalopnik membership not withstanding, I would rather an amateur auto shop than nosy religious zealot assholes any day. It really doesn’t matter what you are into, those are the kinds of people that make neighborhoods awful and negatively impact property values long-term.

The forces in acceleration would be less than or equal to maximum braking decelerations. Loads are required to be well secured on trailers. I don’t see quicker trucks as a problem.

Yeah, I think sometimes people forget how sucky it is to drive a bad manual. They’re great on sports cars, but it’s just a hassle in a Ford Explorer or Nissan Versa. Just more work with little if any reward.

Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his

Why do TV manufacturers still insist on adding that garbage “motion smoothing” option to their sets, or even worse, turn it on by default? I don’t know anyone who uses it, and if they do it’s because they don’t know any better.

Serious question, who the hell buys middle grade gas..I believe it’s 89 octane?

With a car that large, you go full wagon or bust. The whole hunchback thing just looks wrong. Shorten it up, give it 2 doors and it might kind of look presentable. Right now it just looks like a crossover viewed in a bad aspect ratio.

You continue to be the most incoherent commenter on this website. Congrats on the consistency!

“World’s smallest jet” my ass.

About a year ago (probably in TMS) I mentioned that VW and others might be able to “roll over” on Bosch, but as other commenters rightfully pointed out, Bosch’s job is to build systems to a certain specification. I suspect that even if Bosch knowingly created a way for VW to enable the cheat, their liability will

I bought 2 manuals new. The first one was a 2016 dodge challenger. The challenger was built “automatic first” as is most cars that have manuals these days. What I mean by this is, the car is built and designed to be an automatic (because they sell). My 2nd new car is my current 2017 wrx. The wrx was built as “manual

I know this is supposed to be sacrilege but honestly... as long as it’s a quality automatic, good.

My new sports car, the Rosinator 1, will feature an innovative new quadruple-manual transmission, with each wheel driven by its own miniature manual transmission built right into the wheel. Yes, that means four shifters, and four clutch pedals. It’ll also be powered by a naturally-aspirated, air-cooled, rear-mounted

I’m not crazy about what they’ve done with Luke so far or where he seems to be going, but at the same time I think they didn’t have a lot of options with him unless they wanted to tell a completely different story — one where Luke and the Republic were all doing great and we see the seeds of the Sith order reforming.

I’m with you most of the way but I disagree on the focus on styling vs tech differentiation because all motors are basically the same bit.

Why are my vehicles always out to destroy me?

I find it a little bit odd that we (mostly) still have to carry spare tires at all. I know that most on this site will lament the loss of the full-size spare, but it’s not standard operating procedure to carry around any other spare parts. Everything else on a car has gotten so reliable over time that it’s

I realize it Hertz, but here’s an Enterprising idea:
