GM already did it on the turbocharged Cobalt SS. Also flat-shifting.

I’m actually really Ok with the idea of him hosting. He’s a legit car guy, and charismatic, being on screen is nothing new to him either. I find when they bring hosts from other media disciplines on screen it can sometimes make for awkward outcomes regardless of how good they are in their home medium.

I think that’s a little like an “I’ll just catch the bullet with my teeth” approach. Methinks a missile flies a little faster than you could reasonably react to.

I’m ok with this. He’s funny, charismatic and a legit gear head. I see good things.

So I have several problems with this video.

Got the same one for my 05 Ranger.

I didn’t say you could get the sport model with 3 pedals. I know it was only the base motor that got it. That doesn’t negate the fac tthat you could get a Ford Fusion of this body style in a manual transmission; which was, in fact, my point.

Agreed, plus you could get them with 3 pedals. I’ve seen a few that were done up fairly nicely.

That was my thought. Audi in the tails, Jaaag in the front, but all Lincoln, and all stylish. Nice to see a more slabsided design surface in the world of multi-lined, contoured, overstylized body lines. I love modern cars, but this is a refreshing change.

Looks to me like this isn’t “Hidden content” but just accessing the actual database numbers that Netflix uses to categorize their movies. You’re just over-refining the categories by going backwards into their directory... Yet another thing that is being way overhyped by the internet. Congratulations, someone found the…

That’s incredible. Best IOM video I’ve seen. I’ve seen ones that were more dramatic, I have a few that I enjoy to watch a bit more, but as far as conveying the raw visceral feeling of a lap; this one is tops. I had goosebumps and I was tired just watching it. Simply incredible.

Don’t pull an “intermittent wipers”.

Don’t worry, some of us got it.

Oh the EB v6 is an animal in anything they stick it in. The SHO Taurus is a speeding ticket waiting to happen, and I’ve driven a few F150s with an exhaust and intake and they’re great for embarassing muscle car owners, plus they sound vicious.

Were you gruntled with its performance? I’m looking forward to my move back to a Ford dealer in the new year; I left before we got the full-sized Transit, and I’ll be returning as a diesel tech, so I will be getting to play with these motors before too long, for sure.

I remember the first time I saw one of these. It was actually just last year. I had no idea they existed. Just like the Tacoma step sides. I only ever saw two of them... And glad for it.

This was almost as fun to watch as I’m sure it was to drive. I need this in my life.

What about the Mustang ones that make the Mustang logo on the ground? ‘Cmon, its a little lame, but if youre gonna have a puddle light, you may as well do something with it.

As stated, this is mostly for NVH in modern cars. Especially those with direct injection. People bitch about injector noise enough with the covers there.

Nissan did this too. Pulsar GTiR, IIRC.
