But some high-strung engines just need their legs stretched. The only question remains is, as HowdyAudi asked, with 435hp and 396 lb-ft of torque, where exactly can you legally run this car flat out?

This is a direct injection engine. That means that a normal engine would clean the back of its valves as fuel runs down into the cylinder. Direct injection shoots fuel right into the cylinder and skips the valves. It's efficient, but you miss out on the whole self-cleaning thing.

I thought they ditched it. Ma bad

the u.s. civic had rear irs, they ditched it a couple gen ago

why is everyone chiming in tire pressure here? 3-5 lbs low wouldn't cause you to drive that shitty, it should help in the rear actually. It's bad driver, not tire pressure. Where did the tire pressure conspiracy come from anyway

Wait a second... a race team that doesn't fabricate? What?

Wasn't the astro a more Mid-size van? On the S-10 chassis?

many states do you pretentious twat.

no, it's not Mercedes fault. You wouldn't blame the manufacturer if this was a manual trans that had reverse in an odd spot. Aka dog leg. Jesus people these days cannot take any responsibility for their actions

"with a front that looks like some sort of torture device from 2025" Don't see it, looks goofy yeah but.....

Saying it looks like an F150 is like saying a peterbuilt looks like a kenworth. They're trucks, they have similarities. Headlights on both ends, grill in the middle. Same shit different badge. But splitting images of each other? not even close.

"It's sorta stealing Fords thunder to me at least. Yes I think the Ford is nicer to look at, sure as hell has the pedigree."
