The new Mazda I6 pulls very well and doesn’t seem like it’s working hard at all. The 2.5 I4 turbo definitely felt like it was stressed when pulling an enclosed trailer.

“Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?”

Wrapping paper is perfectly ok, but the moment you have blinking lights in blue and red all over, you’re endangering other road users, including pedestrians because other drivers will have a harder time noticing them.

You’re definitely not wrong. Tesla is far and away the most public ‘self driving’ system out there. Having said that, it’s also dangerous as shit, and they’ve sold it as the holy grail to people that can barely drive. The two times I’ve been in a tesla with someone who used it I was clawing at the door in fear. It…

Teslas do not have autonomous capabilities.

This. C5's with the 6spd can hit 30mpg doing 80mph. Vipers could do mid-20s highway. My Camaro SS 1LE would get 26 mpg doing 80.

I got to borrow a 2024 Escalade V for a weekend. Most of the driving was spirited driving around town (keeping the vehicle in V mode the entire time), with a few late night drags thrown in. I got around 8 mpg that weekend.

Not only cool with it but fucking ecstatic about it. Its all going to be a disaster.

Imagine being wealthy enough to buy yourself the government of the United States of America.

LOL - came here to tell the same story about my grandpas ‘73 454 Sub. 6mpg no matter what - empty, towing his travel trailer or big Bayliner - always 6 mpg.

Hey Siri, remind me in 25 years

same story with our 1997 k2500 with the 454 (3.73 gears though). all 12's all the time.

My buddies 1987 2500 Suburban with a 454 and 4.11 gears.

Yes, all Carrera GTs were manual. 

It seems like a lot of money, but let’s be real — it is a vehicle that’s at the top of its class and it’s not priced any more insanely than a lot of cars, like 911s, higher-edition Boxters, big BMW SUVS, G-Wagons, S-class Benzes, etc. Heck, even the top-end Grand Wagoner starts at $115K.

I think all Carrera GTs were manual. But yes, if there’s newer rubber on a Viper ACR I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to break 7 minutes.

Dodge should’ve given us another generation. They’re just darn good at making supercars.

Were these all Manuals to? Let’s put some updated Aero on it and get this thing to the 7 minute mark. Shoot, let’s retry with the Viper =)

Missed opportunity for them not squeaking it down to $54,990 so it would qualify for the $7500 for purchasers and not just leasers.

I bet if you accumulated enough examples, you could come up with a pretty consistent dollar-per-weight cost they get from their shippers. Destination charge being broken out on the sticker is a fun little novelty with good insight. 

I think (please someone correct me if I’m wrong) that those “mandatory” Stage 1 and Stage 2 packages are only a launch thing. I don’t think they’ll be mandatory forever.
