Because a cast iron block weighs a boatload. It can handle the power, but its a dinosaur at this point. I do remember reading that some people were swapping 3sgte’s into their drift supra’s at one point since it at least weighed less. In the long run it will be interesting to see what can be done with the new engine.…

My only regret is that I have but one star to give.

Keep it safe? that has been questioned for a long time now. If memory serves there is a high chance if we get into a shooting war that carriers would not last long at all. In some ways they feel like ww2 battleships. Amazingly powerful, but overlay vulnerable to modern munitions.

The problem is the way stock has created a system where short term gains profit leadership immensely. By slashing payroll in the short term Blizzard is going to look great on the books. The problem is that these people leaving are taking knowledge with them, knowledge that is very expensive to relearn even if they…

Owned a 73 914. The 4 banger handles better, the 6 sounds better. Modern builds on the 4 put out enough hp that the tranny becomes the weak link. The six you can upgrade to later engines, but at that point we are so far removed from the which is better argument. Were I to do it over again I’d get a six, because its a…

As the owner of my second (and after I sue gm probably 3rd) Colorado in under a year, I call bs that it is a rare event.

Uh, depends where you live. 400-600k houses here are gonna be in the upper end of neighborhoods. Sure they are million dollar homes too, but 200k buys you a pretty nice house out in my neck of the woods. Heck I paid 140k for mine, but it needed remodeling.

Why did he use steel shot?

Don’t care, if the truck develop’s problems  under warranty GM will fail to fix them. Dealership will create a new problem in the process. GM will fail to fix that as well. Can confirm, 17 colorado traded back into the dealership at 650 miles. No am/barely any fm from day 1. Took 3 weeks to fix that. XM would cut out…

Towing with my 18 colorado (until I sue for it being the lemon that it is, thanks chevy) I would still prefer a manual. Now, in normal driving its great and I have a hard time making a case for a stick other than just loving to row gears. When towing with tow/haul mode engaged the truck will lose speed up a hill…

11.5k for not putting 1 mile on it. I realize this is a tough concept to grasp, but people *drive* cars. Those cars then incur additional maintenance. In 5 years of typical driving you need things like brakes, additional oil changes, and with enough miles additional engine out services. Older used cars, especially…

Man you are dense. 700 x 5 for fluid changes if you do not drive. So 3500 for 5 years without putting a mile on it. Oh, and at the 5 year mark you are doing an engine out service for the belt, which isn’t actually following Ferrari’s guidelines, but is common among owners. That engine out service? 8k. So, without…

A car that has a 700 dollar fluid change yearly? If you did not drive it but just did the regular maintenance so it could drive, you would be well over 10k in 5 years. Blow a differential (common issue) that is 25k. Ignoring that brakes are not cheap. So yeah, vette maintenance is going to be minimal. Ferrari…

House sells faster with the renovations, that is why.

Cost to maintain this will eat any difference the zr1 takes in depreciation. So in a few years you will be about even. A few years after that this will be in the red unless it appreciates into the millions, but that is doubtful.

This, so much of this.

Heh, this was my tactic in battlfield 3 and 4. Find a FF server and ram my plane into other planes and helicopters on my team. Best was when it would be a fully loaded heli. Watching the resulting shitstorm in chat cursing out the pilot for tking was glorious. And since FF was off, I would incur no penalty and often…

Theymight bring a premium today, but if released now it would bomb hard. Gm interior would still be dated, styling would be worse, and it would only have a manual on the base model.

People don’t buy them for a variety of reasons. Some because they got bailed out. Some because they are horrible vehicles. I have had two new colorados this year with over 2 months in the shop. Only thing I am waiting on is for my lawyer to get me a buyback. I don’t care how pretty it is if GM is behind it I won’t be…

Welp, lawyer is try sending a buyback letter and failing that next year we go to court so will find out eventually. In the meantime its very tiresome driving a vehicle that cannot drive in a straight line. Constantly having to shift the wheel and its not like you can hold it in a spot either, it constantly changes.
