Do they not understand the American ponycar market at all? That is the reason - because it will fit! V8 image sells the V6s and the V6 volume supports the V8.

The cold side/hot side or dual zone, or whatever you want to call it technique has revolutionized my grilling. I've cooked some of the best steaks I've ever eaten in my life in just the last year or so since I discovered it and started practicing it. If you want steaks and burgers that are cooked through from one edge…

Are you trying to tell me that the new Passat won't be 9-1/2 feet wide and only 3-1/2 feet tall??

Yeah, the F-150s got the motor stuffed under the cowl like the F-bodies, although not quite as far back as the F-twins, but the same mod motor in my Mustang mounted forward of the firewall like a civilized engine makes for the easiest spark plug change I've ever done short of my old Volvo's straight 4:

How bad is that that the solution to a difficult maintenance problem is to install long tubes.

I feel like there should be a lifetime achievement award for all transverse mounted V6es.

RE: #8

I hadn't been back to DC and the surrounding areas in over 20 years until last summer but holy cow, driving is even more of a nightmare than when I left. The sheer amount of cars on the road is unreal. The Beltway always sucked at rushhour on a weekday but now its wall-to-wall cars everywhere, all the time, everyday…

Dammit, I was just about to post the same Hellcat photo. Awesome.

This is true - I have Orangutan arms and I had a 122S.

I need my job description to be professional Raptor driver.

Agreed. Visibility in my ext-cab Sierra is awesome - no problem placing the corners - but the turning radius sucks and with its width and length, and parking spaces and lanes still sized for 80's sized compact cars, simply pulling headfirst into a parking spot often requires a three point turn. Backing out with cars…

Yep, engines go rich momentarily when you stab the throttle to prevent stumbles.

Black smoke during full throttle acceleration is normal. All gas engines run rich at full throttle by design - the extra fuel is used to reduce combustion chamber temperatures and reduce pinging and because normal O2 sensors only show whether you are running rich or lean but not by how much they're not used at full…

What's wrong with trunks?

The 1989 944 Turbo (or 1988 944 Turbo S) is still just about the most perfect car ever produced.

Weren't they shilling for Hyundai or Kia pretty recently? That was all kinds of wrong. This is a step back in the right direction for 80's hair metal. 80's rock had nothing to with anything that wasn't from Detroit and wasn't available with a big block unless it it had 12 cylinders and was from Italy.

A lot of people do seem to have confused "perfectly serviceable transportation" for "flaming pile of crap"

I go back and forth between being an Mustang II apologist and critic - I think it deserves both.

in the same way an original Mustang is a Falcon II, a Fox-body is a Fairmont II and an S197 is a Lincoln LS -.33
