When I said “cars” I meant cars as in sedans, coupes, etc. I’m not denying there’s other vehicles on the way. One of my aforementioned uncles is on the van project, the other on the Wrangler (sorry guys its going IFS). BTW that site you linked is about as reputable as InfoWars or Breitbart. The RWD architecture in…

Even if this was a thermonuclear device (it most certainly wasn’t) it would be a pretty embarrassing one. If Tyler’s 6-9kt yield is accurate that’s about 1,200x less powerful than our first H-bomb test (Ivy Mike, 10.4Mt)

I don’t have any horse in the race, I work for a supplier that deals in more performance oriented programs (z/28, AMG GT, Ford GT) so I don’t have any reason to lie. Its not like I’m excited about the prospect of one of the Big 3 going under or restructuring to the point where its unrecognizable. Shit besides the 2…

The hybrid Town and Country? Yea I’m sure that’ll save the company... My uncle joked about how many design iterations that thing went through after they decided it need AWD this time around, then decided it didn’t.

Two of my uncles are Chrysler engineers, talked with them on Christmas eve and both said the company is operating under the assumption its going to be sold. They currently have 0 as in ZERO cars currently in development outside of refreshes of current models. No replacement for the LX platform (300, Charger,…

I think you’re referring to the timing chain issue on the LY7 which was a 3.6L V6 but did not have direct injection, only VVT. It was limited to Lambda platform cars mostly (Traverse, Acadia, Enclave) and GM posted a service bulletin saying to change the oil every 5k miles on those vehicles. Between the US and…

You mean the one Ward’s just put on their ten best list?

The only thing I'd trust from Al Jazeera is them getting Al Qaeda videos before anyone else. Not surprisng considering they're both funded by the government of Qatar.

The F-35B is said to be much easier to fly in the STOVL and VTOL modes than the Harrier. During the rest of the flight envelope they shouldn’t be any more difficult to fly than the A and C models other than being slightly heavier and a little down on thrust.

Considering they were the only OEM that publicly stated they wouldn't include CarPlay (in 2013, decision since reversed) I wouldn't count on it. GM was the first to have across the board CarPlay and has done some R&D with them in the past but then again they have their own autonomous tech so there's not as much of a…

Wow, not used to comments this on point. Another thing Tyler missed in this article is the destabilizing effect Qatar had on this whole mess by backing the Islamist gov instead of the successor to Gaddafi in Tripoli.

While it might seem better to train against actual Eastern Bloc aircraft in this particular exercise it wouldn’t be of much or any benefit.

Weapons diversity: yes. Avionics: absolutely not.

No.

I will never come out of the greys on this godforsaken site but I’d like to point out this p.o.s. was convicted by 4 white guys and 4 white women. O.J. was acquitted by 9 blacks, 2 whites, and 1 hispanic. 10 of which were women and all were Democrats. http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projec…). Without saying anything…

I have an 11’ Z06 Carbon so I agree with your last paragraph but your first one is a little ridiculous...

The Australians (Holden) had absolutely nothing good to do with this Camaro or its Alpha platform siblings. The Zeta architecture used in the last gen was developed down under but it's dead as soon as the Commodore/SS go out of production next year.

The F-35 doesn’t have thrust vectoring on any variant... This, like most of your other comments in this thread are extremely misinformed.

My job title is “chassis development engineer”. Its literally my job to fine tune how a car feels. The only “feel” the CTS-V gives you that the ATS doesn’t is the sound of the V8. Turn-in, steering feel, brake pedal feel, etc are all miles better in the ATS. My company car is a 6spd ATS-V coupe and while I admit it…

Actually, it can. These numbers are from Car and Driver for a 2016 ATS-V Sedan with 8spd auto and a 2009 CTS-V Sedan with 6spd auto: Length: CTS-191.6in, ATS-184in; 0-60mph: CTS-3.9s, ATS-3.9s; 1/4 Mile: CTS-12.2s @119mph, ATS-12.1s @122mph; 70mph-0 Braking: CTS-154ft, ATS-154ft; Skidpad: CTS-0.89g’s, ATS-1.02g’s.
