You Shouldn't Care The Corvette And Silverado Are Car And Truck Of The Year — Deadline Detroit

Ok, everyone keeps using the term SLUSHBOX... This is wrong. The newer top of the line auto boxes like the ZF8 can perform a shift in 200 milliseconds and do it very smoothly. They can also manage multi gear changes like going from 8th to 2nd. Depending on which DCT is being referred to shift times can be very close…

Yeah, none of us were ever 10 and playing video games...

"But mine has higher specific output" is the same line Honda VTEC people used against muscle car people in forum flamewars, circa 1998. Let's move on, shall we?

I think it's an important detail. It helps explain why a Nissan Note was being delivered there in the first place.

While I think 300 hp is sub par for this day and age there's no reason to have a pissing contest about power/displacement ratio. You can get 600 hp from a 2.0 liter if you blow enough air into it. Bottom line is what counts here

I'm intrigued about the availability of this box.

well let's put this into perspective. To a person's body, 0°F is very cold, 100°F is very hot, 0°C is freezing, 100°C is death. The degrees in Fahrenheit are more precise and relevant to the human body.

So you'd rather pay a premium price for everyday maintenance, questionable reliability & a gas hog vs an all around better car?

The 0°F point was set by mixing water, ice and ammonium chloride at a ratio of 1:1:1. This type of mixture will reliably equilibrate to the same temperature and therefore was a useful reference back in the good old days.

Jury's out on that claim. The Camaro's up 50 horsepower but the new Corvette only weighs 150 pounds less. The ZL1 could out perform the far more powerful GT500 on the track, and this Z28 is even MORE focused than that.

Well im pretty sure the 1LE was a more capable car then the track pack GT

Here's something to consider before calling this a bad value proposition. The Z/28 is faster than all of these cars around the 'Ring:

I love it. A European make sells a lightened, track oriented version of a car and everyone's panties get wet. An American make does it, and it's overpriced, a rip off, white trash redneck mobile and not worth the money.

That's a very narrow mindset, not unlike that one microsoft employee...

I don't know if most Americans even understand the difference between "off" and "standby." So many devices sold here don't even seem to be designed to be turned off (my video recorder, television and cable box aren't, for example - I have to go through lengthy processes to restore various settings if they're actually…

Actually, number 9 will be due to emissions laws. At least, thats why in the UK. Spare wheels weigh and AWFUL lot more than compressors and a tube of gunk. In fact, on some of the 'eco' models of cars, you can't even order the spare wheel as an optional extra, because of the aforementioned weight limitations to make…

I have to wonder how much of the "no spares" issue is in hunting for improved fuel economy figures. Obviously you're not gonna get huge gains here, but fueleconomy.gov indicates 1-2%/100lbs. If the net weight savings of "fix a flat" is 30lbs, you're looking at a savings of 0.3% - 0.6%, or 0.25-0.50mpg on a 40mpg…

Don't forget that foglights on, even on a clear night, illuminate the immediate road better. This is especially handy for pothole ridden cities, such as NYC. I don't do it because I think it's "cool," as you say, but because I don't want to change a tire at 10pm on the side of the FDR...

listen if you want to be able to play games in a tournament setting without drm checks when you lose internet access, we have a product already, its the xbox 360
