How is having a pump w 98 in it as premium, a 92 mid grade, and an 87 low grade taking away your liberty? Gimme a break.

Nascar drivers and old truckers are he only people who truly know how to pronounce “malnour”, which as we all know, is a measure of speed over time.

Dear god that thing is hideous.

Plus the GTV6 was a Bond car.

Alfa Romeo GTV-6

Probably use lead acid battery’s for that high mass feel!

A crummy commercial?!

Be... sure.... to... drink... your... Ovaltine!

I’m just going to leave this here. Also OBDI to OBDII happened to coincide with some pretty heavy performance gains. For example, that 454 put out 290/410 from 1997-2001, when it was replaced by the 8.1.

I’ve never driven an S2000, but I’d be willing to bet it doesn’t feel like it’s been rearended when it’s put into gear at idle.

So low end torque is not important for trucks, and revving to 9000 rpm is just fine for pulling a fifth wheel trailer up a 6% grade?

Just for fusnies and because I had an excel open for something else, I did the math on the vortec 454 to the F20c.

Sure but how much hp does your s2000 make at 1500 rpm?

Chevy brought their V8 from 31hp/L up to 60hp/L over that same stretch, so if anything this illustrates the huge advances that OBDII and multiport injection made over the course of the ‘90s.

No, because the hedge fund dipshits that grew up in the 80s and have crippling boneitis will be right there paying 200 thousand dollars for an e30 m3 or 100k for an Toyota Supra

Warning: “That guy” comment inbound.

This hypermiling shit has gotten out of hand.

As a car owning gearhead who lives and works in Manhattan, I can confidently say that within the five boros, this is still true.

The amazing thing is, even with how shitty we are at investing in it here in the US, it IS still 1,000 times better than trying to drive into NYC and park for work.

Zune was a failed product. Zima was failed product. Combining those names only spelled doom. What did they expect?
