Agreed, I’ve always appreciated the Viper for being what I call “mechanically fast”.  It doesn’t use electronics and torque vectoring and active braking and aero and all that stuff to individually control each corner to do what the computer thinks it needs to, it was just designed to go fast naturally.  To me it often…

It’s the whole stock market and ass kissing to Board members and stakholders that criples actual development and engineering. The American automakers even had full EVs in the 90s (and much earlier in the Military), But “For the Love of Money”.

The Viper has ACR specific tires made just for it, though my understanding was that the tires were the weak link in the record attempts.  I believe they had several failures with them over the course of the runs they made.

I’m pretty sure the ACR was run on the brand new ACR spec tires that were made just for it.  However, despite them being pretty incredible tires for still being street legal, my understanding is that they were still the weak link for the record attempts a while back.  They kept having issues with them failing as I…

I like to the Dodge has 2 engineers that are secretly keeping the V10 updated just in case.  Ford gave us a second GT for goodness sake.

Honestly there is something about American engineering that just works, and works very well when they get it right. They can blend Simplicity and power into a package that not even the Germans can quite match with their overcomplications. The Viper was wind tested by going to the beach and dumping flour in front of it…

I agree! Metallic Gray Spirit R

There can be only one.
Yes, they still made them in 2000. 

Good idea, but we should actually make Daylight Standard Time the actual Standard time.

Typically how long are repayment periods for a loan of that size? Interest rates? for a 30 year loan gross, you would be paying 200 million/ year. Rivian’s revenue was about 4 and half billion, that’s cutting it awfully close, but maybe I’m missing something there, I did get a C in math.

Well said, and I bet all of these delightful people would be shocked how I actually voted.

Sure. No help in California for earthquakes or wildfires, either. Or in the midwest or southeast after a tornado. Why do we spend government money plowing the roads in the north, it snows there frequently every winter, people should have vehicles that can get through that, after all, they choose to live there.

Not going to lie, I’m pretty disappointed in the Jalop community on this one.

Duh.

I second this, the Envista is a great looking car and it will probably be the next car my family buys. 

Jalops hate on Buick but I think Buick has a chance. It just won’t be a Jalop car line.

Don’t hang your head too low.  Wasn’t that car assembled in America?

::hangs head in shame:: 

WHOOPS.

The Nissan Altima. Not because of anything that’s the car’s fault as it’s a perfectly serviceable car...
