What’s worse, the cheezy bar or the fact the vertical bar goes through the intake manifold? I’m skeptical you can handle the steering load through the thin 1" vertical bar anyway. The hole through the manifold is also great for idle control

Yeah but Chrysler Concorde / Dodge Intrepid this is not....

Ironic that Waze was originally developed in Israel.

Does anyone think the proportions are slightly off? It looks like you should take a foot out between the door and the rear wheel. The windshield is so close to the front wheel that there’s too much space between the backlight and the rear wheel. This is 1990's Lambo Diablo proportions. See the pic below. I get that…

Are the rear seats deleted like in the GT3 or can you still get them. Some of us have to take our kids to school in our toys.

That means you put on average 25K miles on it per year...how the hell did you do that?

I’m assuming to reverse the car, it would be only electric drive to do this? Since it has no gearbox and its a direct drive to the diff, there would be no other way to reverse direction of the engine drive.

The one recommendation you should be making is to wait for a 2017 model so you can get the 1LE package. Otherwise, please turn in your Jalop membership card.

Why does this guy shriek like a little b!tch? But then again what self respecting man would buy a c300. #chickcar

When the bike was stopped and throttle blipping, it sounded more like a V-twin than an inline 4. They could have dubbed the sound.

I couldn’t believe that was Thunderhill. I guess El Nino did bring rain after all. BTW, what bike was he riding at the track. It sounded like a Ducati but I didn’t examine the video that closely.

The cost is in the actual rebuilding. You can get a brand new LS crate motor for $6k (or a rebuilt one for $4k) and a weekend with your friends to swap it out for your old one. I know because I had a lifter go out on mine and it was cheaper to get another motor than the labor to tear apart the whole engine to get the…

But can you get a V8 in the GMC?

RX shows its not necessary but because it is far superior in everything else in this segment. I think the RX could completely kill it even more if they had a 3rd row. I think that’s the only thing that is keeping the sales going for the MDX, and any other near luxury CUV’s w/ 3 rows.

But does it have a 3rd row since that’s the only thing missing from the class leader, the RX.

I wasn’t referring to beating Audi on the track for the overall win but coming to the track with the level of preparedness that Audi has in the past. A top level OEM shouldn’t have transmission issues in the first hour if they did their homework in testing.

But they came in third in both Sebring and Le Mans and were bulletproof for the majority of the race. They didn't have failing trannys 1 hour into the race.

Everyone needs to be Audi because they are the ones to beat come June. If you’re not trying to be better than them, then you might as well not compete.

What is this, amateur hour? Tranny issues, brake lines and a falling off kill switch???!!! These are teething issues that should have been sorted out in testing. With all the finances that Ford is throwing at this program, the car should be bulletproof for the 1st 12 hours.

The answer is always LS motor. Pick one up in a junkyard for $500.
