He tried buying a shitty Japanese car from Tavarish and still ended up frozen.

The solution is obvious: Buy another shitty car.

As a Packers fan living in Minnesota this game was wonderful.

And it might actually work! Ill or proved that V10's can be great boat engines by marinizing the 8.4L Viper motor. They get 725 naturally aspirated horsepower from that block, meaning a V12 could get at least 10% more.

On top of the fact that they would be asking you to pay $300,000 for worse engines, they also have their reputation to deal with, because half of the V12's would fail. Boat engines go through hell. They have to deal with constant jumping of the boats, constant upper-RPM operation, and most will live in salt water.…

I get what you’re saying, and I remember the same sentiment when Jalopnik was running stories about the latest Cigarette/AMG boat. But marinizing a car company’s engines is far beyond “not practical.” Think of it like Pagani buying AMG engines. Yeah, it may be cooler if they built their own Italian V12, but then the…

News articles claim this is Mercury’s 520. I’m very familiar with the Mercury 600 and 700 and their superchargers. And Volvo doesn’t have anything to compete with any of Mercury Racing’s engines. If you’re looking for 500+ hp gas marine engines you’re either going with Mercury, Ilmor, or a much smaller builder that…

Can’t watch the vid at work, but I’m assuming they’re Merc 520's (because 1040/2=520) which means they’re not supercharged. And while the block is Chevy, there is much more to it than that. Mercury makes the most durable high performance marine engines bar none. And while this ridiculous boat is ridiculously priced,…

Maserati and Aston aren’t doctor cars? I’m pretty sure I get a very doctor/lawyer vibe from both of those cars. I’m here to point you to the option that flips the bird to the other doctors as you leave them in a cloud of tire smoke: the 2016 Camaro SS.

Consumer Reports is right to ding based on tech issues. If my car’s infotainment system froze or crashed as often as my PC or phone I’d end up with such bad road rage I would end up spearing through rush hour traffic destroying everything in my path.

My new puppy, Poe. In the last three days he pissed on my futon six times, and pooped on it twice. How can he bring himself back to good dog status?

Of course it’s not literally instant, but the time between action and reaction is much quicker with N/A.

To me, the relationship between the pedals and the drivetrain is like the connection between the steering wheel and the tires. I want the most immediate response and feedback to my actions when driving spiritedly.

Yeah, that is turbo lag. Stupid me for confusing the two haha. But like I said, I’ve driven the Focus RS which has the same engine and it’s still there. And I disagree (at least for the Ford 2.3) with your last point. I noticed it a lot. Despite being the best 4-cylinder I’ve ever driven, it still lacked the immediacy…

I’m talking about the time between when I push the throttle down and I get the dyno-rated power at that RPM. If you’re just maintaining the engine at 2500 rpm and you floor it you will not get the full power as quickly as with an N/A engine. And the problem gets worse the more boost pressure you require. And after…

Does this tune give you N/A throttle response or do I still have to wait over a second for the real power to arrive? If not then I’ll stick with my V8s thankyouverymuch.

I like how the person behind this camera didn’t film any other cars. He just knew that the good footage today was going to be the Mustang.

Yay for globalization! In the long term everybody benefits from free and open trade. But in the short term things are never so clear. But you’re right in the idea that we should let other countries take these jobs, since they require lesser skillsets. America should focus on more advanced industries and jobs that…

Reminds me of being the smallest creature of a family of five travelling in a ‘99 Z28. While we did have a spacious, 8-seat Buick Roadmaster Estate, that was not cool enough. Instead, my dad sat me on the driveshaft hump between the rear seats, crossed the belts so I was doubly safe, and smiled at his handiwork.

It would seem you do not understand the true meaning of a celly. It is simultaneously more and less than a standard celebration. The celly and its beauty will never be understood by somebody who has never dangled, sniped, or sauced.
