I didn’t watch the video, but I read the article and you’re not technically correct. You can have turbos that provide linear power. Look at the torque curve on that Neon. Those things nearly made full boost at idle and dropped off like a supercharger.

I thought the article was bad, the comments are even worse. However, the comments also explain how someone who thinks that teaching your children good communication skills and the ability to cope with emotion and stress is just too much darn stress for a child to handle.

How is the RAM R/T not this? Other than the R/T badge and 22" wheels it looks like a standard truck. Black out everything and it looks sinister and doesn’t draw attention from those who don’t know. It stickers for just under 40k with decent options and starts at 36k. $18,295 in 1990 comes out to 35k today. I can see…

David’s description of the physics is technically incorrect. Tires tend to have peak braking force at 15-20% slip on dry asphalt. They also tend to produce peak braking forces at 100% slip (full lockup) on deformable surfaces (snow, sand, gravel). However, once you get lockup you can’t produce any lateral forces. His…

That just looks like a caliper taken off any 10 year old Detroit car and then media blasted.

The comment about the 500e isn’t his opinion, it’s a fact FYI. He was simply stating the 500e cost the company 14k every time they sell one. Needed the CAFE credits.

Low mileage LJ Rubicon is in the 20-30k mark. Engine and controller is 10k. T case is 3k at minimum. Axles properly built were probably 8k. Full vehicle restoration is probably 10k. It all adds pretty quick. Plus, look at any AEV V8 swapped Jeep and that automatically adds 15k for a 6.4. I’d say if you were someone…

People who buy Jeeps to build trail rigs don’t want to pay the extra money for something they won’t use. Same with people who live in perpetually cold climates.

I feel like a supercharged 6.2 isn’t a step back from a 6.4.

The most surprising part of that commercial is that it looks much closer to a rental car ad.

It only takes me about 15 minutes to take the windshield off my JK. Who is saying it takes an hour? I’ve done it about 10 times on my 2016.

Let’s compare to the Trackhawk.

It blows my mind how so many people complain about the Wrangler. “It’s too expensive for what you get. I would never pay that. There’s no incentives. They’re so unrefined for that price. Why don’t they come standard with power locks and windows?” First of all... I didn’t realize FCA was struggling to sell Wranglers.…

I think you’re all missing something. A great vehicle dynamicist name James Walker Jr who teaches industry professionals about vehicle dynamics, races factory Ferraris, and dailys an M2, races L200s on his own personal dime and has been for decades... He knows something the rest of us don’t.

I’m in the same boat. Had a 98 R/T from 2007 until 2009. Heavily modified lol. Bought another 98 R/T a few months ago.

Purchased, good find!

Sounds like Jake Peralta was running the op.

Don’t forget the faster steering rack, stiffer springs, added a rear bar, made the front and rear bar bigger than the ones that already came with both bars, had heavier duty front hubs, and had stiffer bushings. The earlier ones also had no top speed limiter.

Go to the BMW Performance Center for a driving school and you’ll get to huck brand new M2s around a track...
