Well, at 160 mph, he could have gotten to Maryland in under 4 hours. Probably quite a bit shorter amount of time than parking at the airport, checking bags, going through security, waiting to board, the actual flight, bag retrieval, rental car.

Could title this: Hellcat up for police auction in Indiana - stay tuned.

They’re developing tech with an eye focused on the bottom line - not on safety. They should be developing it off public streets.

If McDonalds started building bridges and an early one collapsed, you don’t think there’d be a few people questioning why a fast food giant was doing infrastructure?

Car companies are. And car companies have proving grounds and sound engineering, development, and release principles.

Did you make it past the opening paragraph?

I don’t really buy the “all mega corporations” are evil thing. Sorry. Sure they’re all about making a profit and that usually comes at a cost of human or environmental resources at some point. But they generally don’t have evil in their corporate hearts.

You generally cannot hit top speed in double-OD, as it is too tall. Fifth gear is your top-speed gear, sixth is your highway fuel economy gear.

Who needs two cruising gears?

Yeah I just kind of assumed they had phased them out of both VWs and Audis like 5 or 10 years back. The more you know!

There was so much to cram in here I didn’t even get to talk about how interesting it is that Ram, arguably the progenitor of the “bro truck” and definitely the first mainstream pickup to intentionally look “aggressive” now has the friendliest face of all half-tons.

I admit it; I’m partially to blame. I haven’t bought a new one and have no intention of buying a new one. I still like them though.

Me, trying to decipher this mystery: “...Honda NS...3000GT...Nismo?”

I thought it was a shitty 3000gt body kit or something tried making their own 3000gt.

I never thought fuel choice as an option, as it all depends on the car you drive and it’s fuel requirement.

Translation: “The kids who want these cars can’t afford them, so we can’t justify development costs of adding another option. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go work on the automatic for the new Supra.”

Personally, I don’t feel it should have counted. Fundamentally, it was more of a range-assisting hybrid.

Why spend the money to develop a new truck when an OTS solution is already out there. Ram Promaster City or Ford Transit Connect.

Yeah I know, the current LLV is basically a slick bullet that ignores air. 

Wouldn’t they want it to at least be like, a little aerodynamic? WTF, man. Lots of postal carriers are on rural routes where they hit new hwy speeds between stops. Shoving an ugly brick like this through the air seems pretty dumb.
