Yes but we already have a market full of trucks with a massive aftermarket and they come from the factory as good offroad vehicles. So yes the new Armada is still yawn worthy imho.

They weren’t heated, so I don’t know if they did anything for him.

It was a run on a giant conrete pad so needless to say there were traction issues. The cones learned to fear me. The challenger had r compounds and tire blankets iirc.

They both use the relatively small 1700 cc tvs to make nearly as much power as the gt500 with a 2300. To do that gm has to spin the blower faster to move a similiar amount of air, and as any one whos owned a pullied roots blower can tell you they make a shit ton of heat when overspun. So yes that ctsv will experience…

The grill isn’t the problem. Its the relatively small blower and inter cooler. Your heat exchanger (whats behind the grill) is only one part of the system.

Challengers can turn. I watched one running in ESP decimate my times in autocross and I was running a mutch smaller and lighter 03 cobra. Albeit a yaris beat me too, so driver might have been a factor...

They have an intercooler but an the LS/LT doesn’t have much room in its valley compared to something like the ford modular. This forces them to utilize smaller superchargers turning more rpm (creating more heat) and smaller intercoolers (less ability to deal with the heat). Not that superchargers are optimal for track…

Worried about aero and not the complete lack of any safety equipment aside from an old helmet?!

Kinda how STI and evo owners are now crashing mustangs at cars and coffee...

FCA’s “hemi” V8s are the same size as fords dohc V8s so I doubt this swap would fit.

Its similar to how military vehicles react to chemical and biological environments. The over pressure aspect would most certainly work, the filters would be the point of failure. They would probably work (there is nothing special about the charcoal used for gas masks) I just wouldn’t trust one that had been in use for…

Odd Choice in a world with cheaper, more reliable, and way more powerful 5 liter motors. A ford 5.0 would be the best candidate but the rover 5.0 would probably be suitable as well. Not to mention it allows them a much larger selection of transmission options.

The mustang II was a success. Its popular to gripe about it now because it smog and CAFE came into effect with it.

Actually cleaning sued was figured out years ago but tesla owners dont know this because theyre not car guys. Clean it with a white cloth and rubbing alchohol and sand stubborn patches. Yes i said sand, works like a charm until it doesn’t.

Almost all supercharged GM’s have had heat soak issues and its largely due to the motor packaging. The pushrod V8 is nice and compact but it doesn’t leave much room between the heads which makes packaging a supercharger and intercooler difficult. They have consistently used smaller blowers and heat exchanges than…

They never fixed the LS7 valve issues or the LS3 oiling issues and those were significantly more explosive on the track...

People imagining long haul trucks going fully electric are going to be disappointed. It would require massive batteries to achieve the range of current diesels then you have the recharging issue. On top of all that the trucks are going to have to give up cargo weight for battery weight as your batteries weigh 1000s…

I thought about getting one, its ergonomics remind me of the foxbody based mustangs. But its a miniscule market compared to the frs much less the mustang. Google gen coupe aftermarket support and all you get is threads of owners complaining. They’re just now getting turbo kits for the 3.8. What little support there is…

Accept he’s not. The gen coup has had 0 aftermarket support from Hyundai or from outside vendors they should have cultivated. This leaves it dead in the water against ford toyota or gm who have gone to lengths to ensure enthusiasts have go fast parts from day 1. Which affects it in professional competition as the…

Roush does a lot of power train development for ford particularly for SVT. The GT500 had far more input from roush than shelby. They also helped develop the GT350's flat plane 5.2. Not to mention Jack Roush also owns the roush-yates racing program.
