As far as I know, they no longer make that engine. They're focused more on their I4, which is a shame.

It only sounds bad to race-baiting idiots like you who read far more into something that isn't there. No one said anything about his race.

But a hellcat Challenger/Charger should win every time...

Reasonably-priced monster trucks. Damn things are expensive.

I just priced out the GMC Canyon I would buy- $38,730. Someone please buy that truck so I can buy it used in five years for half that price.

I'm willing to bet "Cash for Clunkers" was a major cause of the Taurus eradication.

For the E39, a stick would be preferable, but an auto is easier to find. For a manual, the E46 is a bit more fun and much easier to find in a stick. I'm looking hard for a 330i ZHP 6-speed right now.

I haven't owned an E39 yet, but I've had quite a few E46's in both stick and auto and I agree, the automatic in them is a very solid transmission. Not a bad unit at all.

I didn't say a manual swap. I said I'd rather have that E39 with the lower miles, Sport package, and overall better condition even though it's an auto. That said, this car wasn't on ebay when Tavarish posted the challenge so it's moot anyway.

This 5-series is a much better BMW. I'd trade the 5-speed manual for the M-sport package any day.

How lazy does a dealership have to be to not replace the front bumper strip, bumper cover bolt/clip and badge?

The aluminum has a lot more bounce than I would have assumed. I'd like to see how it holds up against a typical fender bender than a sledge hammer.

Overinflated tires, you say? Obviously not Tom Brady's car.

That will make you pucker a bit.

I got my license about 10 years ago in highschool and I think it cost me about $5000. I flew a Cessna 150 for most of it.

As with almost all of your posts, I agree with every point. Some simple math clearly shows leasing is a terrible idea. There are no "good lease deals". A manufacturer is not going to intentionally lose money on a car right out of the factory (excluding Veyron and LFA) so someone has to eat the three-year depreciation…

Um... It was already owned and built by one.

I will NEVER buy Progressive simply based on their painfully terrible marketing right now. I listen to iHeartradio all day and have to hear at least 3-4 "Flo" ads an hour. The mute button on my keyboard is almost worn down completely.

I completely understand that the trap speed for the Tesla is fairly slow when compared to the trap speed of the Hellcat. The Hellcat will undoubtedly accelerate faster beyond 70mph, I would guess. I am simply looking at the numbers based on other reviews of both cars and the fact that the hellcat does not accelerate…

This is the Tesla P85D- The fastest Tesla they've made. With a perfect launch and perfect gear changes, the Hellcat will do an 11.2, not from any babied-off-the-line start.
