From someone who has grown up in Canada owning nothing but RWD vehicles I'm going to disagree. You don't NEED them. They're better in than all seasons in snow...sure. Alternatively, you can also change your driving and only use the traction you have available. Saying you need snows in the snow is like saying you need…

Oil change frequency. Every 3k miles....horseshit!

If a hammer cracks the skull of a person, do we blame the hammer? If a gun kills a child do we blame the gun for not having automatic safety engagement when pointed at an innocent person? A car is a tool. A tool to use for transportation or sport. If that tool is used incorrectly, it's the operators fault. Society,…

That's really sad news to hear. The world is worse off now that she's gone. R.I.P.

Your right. The castings are the same. My argument is, as soon as they leave the foundry, they go different ways and become different parts. Everything else on that engine is bespoke to racing. One could say, the 87 t-bird production car shared as much with the same year NASCAR (areo wise) as a DP's ecoboost to the…

Perhaps I should have been more clear. The similarities I was referring to were purely areo based. At those speeds, areo is where its at. So like you said about the templates, running a car with a similar profile or vehicle frontal area to a production car is quite a feat. A DP car is totally different from anything…

So we're comparing just the speed then right? Must be, cause the hole idea of factoring in the vehicles seems crazy right? I mean a Daytona prototype and an 80's fox body Thunderbird (back when NASCAR actually ran cars that were based off the production car) are pretty much the same thing. Okay...

Neutral: As the company I work for just opened up a plant in China and I am literally designing parts for a Chinese Ford vehicle as I type this....yes, yes I do care.

Wow, stupid lemmings... Show this vid to those that protest Lien's viewpoint on he and his families safety during the NYC bike attack. All it takes is one idiot to get things started....doesn't matter how stupid the action is....retards will follow.

What about lawmaker's enabling police to enforce these laws? They create these new laws and don't recognize that more enforcement is needed to uphold said laws. I truly believe you could employ one police officer per 50,000 drivers, full time, with the soul purpose of nabbing texters/distracted drivers. The money the…

You could say the same thing about the Mona Lisa....to each their own I suppose.....

Roll cage + newer hot 4pot (say ecoboost) + bigger brakes = kick ass track day car.

Anyone remember those hypercolor T-shirts back in the early 90's? What's old becomes new again.

And that's an issue because?

Actually the 'invisible hand' guides the price to an equilibrium. And if greedy dealers ignore it (the equilibrium price), everybody suffers. Look at the Viper. The GTR, the GT500 when it first came out. Of course the price goes up when demand goes up and supply goes down, but you forget, when people get stupid, ie.…

3rd gear: good call by GM. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Or in this case, don't count your sales before you ship off your new Vettes to greedy ass dealers who will mark up the price and turn potential buyers away.

He and red bull are currently the best in the world. They have been for quite some time. Why do people expect him to be all humble and shit? He's earned the right to be that way. I myself don't agree with him being a douch. At the same time I don't question why he is the way he is. Extreme success is something few…

This "small overlap" test is very hard to deal with. Its a new component of testing a vehicles safety. It trys to simulate a head on collision that is outboard of the front crush rails but inboard of the occupant cell. You really only have the A class sheetmental, the tire/rim/suspension, and any real estate forward…

The corvette looks fine and based on initial opinions, performs great. Who cares what the designer of the vette did 10 years ago on a completely different vehicle that ended up sucking.
