Yes. We have nobody to blame but ourselves, particularly those of us that have supported this out of control Stalinist assumption of control over every facet of our lives through unconstitutional means.

This is the EPA. They’re lying when they say they’re going to be content to turn the US performance industry into their next bunch of kulaks to feed to their Stalinist buzz saw. They’ll be handing out $35,000 fines per engine or part to anyone they don’t like, just like Obama’s IRS has been accepted by the left as a…

Thanks. I missed it somehow yesterday morning.

I figured the big news today would be the EPA’s efforts to end all production-car based auto racing and kill the entire US aftermarket performance industry.

Sorry about the transmission bias. When I was am American car fan, I was a Chrysler corporation fan, so anything with 2 speeds in the ‘60s seems backwards to me.

He must work for the NAACP.

I’m worried about you if you felt empowered by that half-time show. I had no idea it had a political message because of the muddled audio and everyone else at the Superbowl party I attended competitively mocking it, but if that pile of crap empowered you, I shudder at the thought of your natural state.

You’d have had a better point if any of the features for the Tempest you mentioned worked. The aluminum engines, which were made by Buick, were an expensive nightmare to produce at the time. They had porosity issues and cooling issues relating to GM not having the technology at the time to cast them and not having a…

Winning the Grand Prix of Cuba isn’t that big of a deal. This car lost or DNF’d in every significant race it was in. That it sold for so much is the only historically important thing about it. What it really represents is that the market thinks every competition Ferrari of the era is now worth this much money. That’s…

Any chance Ferrari will see the error in their ways and go back to making cars for people who can drive?

Being a GM car, the transaxle Tempest also used primitive swing axle rear suspension, an obsolete 2 speed automatic, and the vast majority of them were built with a big displacement cast-iron four cylinder inline engine that resembled a large V8 with a missing head and shook the whole car.

Pontiacs and Chevrolets had their own engines back then. The transaxle Tempests were available with a Pontiac ‘326' in their last year of production. Entertainingly, they actually displaced 336 ci, but there was a corporate mandate that no compact could have an engine bigger than the Corvette’s 327.

Yet he was one of the best debaters, which suggests that Beardsley is not telling the truth. Logic. It may not be popular here, but it is a thing.

Why compromise at all?

Transmissions hold up better when they aren’t being shaken to pieces by Ford’s shitty V6s.

If Ford gave a shit about their customers, their response to people hating their Ecoboost engines would have been to offer the Raptor with a naturally aspirated V8. Fuck Ford.

Besides, it’s the Somalia to Djibouti run. Bodies don’t have to be burnt to look like that.

timgray doesn’t read articles, but he likes to complain about them while exhibiting his ignorance. Ignorance is what you retain when you reply without reading.

Are you aware of what is happening in Europe? You’re why propaganda exists. You have to want to believe the lies to be as misguided as you are.
