I think my 72 weighs like 3500... with power nothing and a pretty crappy interior (or it was stock). I'd say a car that has every creature comfort and can drive circles around it (or a stock one) with only a couple hundred lb gain isn't too bad....

Prayers to the family. RIP

Good points. However, GM is far from floundering. Profits and sales are up, significantly. Great product now will help do this. This is despite a ton of people eliminating from consideration due to misguided ideology. If you hate bailouts all 3 are guilty. I totally agree fords pr folks are...

You got some things right but missed a lot. Here's my background before we start arguing about what I say...I worked at Ford (in the treasury) from 06 to 08, and then went to GM (by choice) where I still work. Around that time frame Ford was in the worst shape by far (2006/07), this...

Ford credit is 100% ford. Absolutely no difference (please don't argue this, I've worked there). They took gov money when no private was available, a bailout. If they can't then their dealers can't borrow to buy cars and shit falls apart extremely fast. GMAC was sold off and isn't GM...

difference being ford lies about their bailout help (as well as gas mileage etc). http://jalopnik.com/5704575/ford-bmw-toyota-took-secret-government-money So tired of the misinformation out there.

I'm guessing the Vauxhall vxr maloo or something like that. What a cool collection of awesome toys. Peter are you fabbing all the cf hardware?

I think you are a bit too quick to claim the mustang faster than a 1le. Seeing as a 1le can run with or past a 302, even an LS in some cases I wouldn't hand the crown to a car yet to even be driven by anyone. In any case, the driver would be the likely limiter between the 2 cars.

This. Plasma is without question still the king of TV's. Just because there's more money in it for the mfg's to sell other stuff doesn't make it better. Quick research will confirm the panny plasma picture is untouched. I got a 65" s64 from Sams/Costco for $1200ish, couldn't be happier. Top...

How on earth did you make a statement about a 3 series vs a 99 vette into a Viper "brag"? I know it's hard to handle, but the new Viper offers so little for the money over the C7 it's not getting many interested (not to say I wouldn't kill for one). Once the hi-power C7's come out it's gonna...

It takes less than 100 hp or so to maintain highway speed, so it's a 3.1 L 4 cyl most of the time still w/ DI. All the comparisons so far w/ the other ecotec 3's have them getting better fuel economy then the competition also. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/02/gm-62l-ecotec-v8-21-mpg-epa/

Agreed. I tried to talk a buddy into a new viper and he's like "why would I pay $40k + more when the vette's the new hot deal." I am getting a C7 probably in a year or so and didn't want to have him get one first!

The claim isn't better towing mileage as much as better unloaded. Obviously anyone towing all the time should go diesel. If you just tow "heavy" occasionally the 6.2 will get better mileage with less costly fuel, cost less up front and still pull very hard. It is a torque monster (not...

They drive even better than they look. Very solid, both the chassis and the interior, and fast as hell. Much more low end torque w/ the LT1 vs the LS3 and it shows when you get on it. I love how many people try and rip on the car which literally has no peer without spending basically 100%...

Go Panasonic plasma all the way. The S64 series has the anti reflective coating of the more expensive lines but none of the 3d and other overpriced features. $1300 ish for a 65 and nothing will touch the picture for the money. It's the model only available at Sam's and Costco. A little...

Google "krokodile", it's big in Russia and it's nuts. Be careful not to check out the google images if you are about to eat.:eek That's a scary ass drug.

Just saying... http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2014-chevrolet-silverado-1500-ltz-z71-vs-2013-ford-f-150-lariat-2013-ram-1500-laramie-longhorn-comparison-test

Haha, I had the same thought. However, given his location and info I don't think so. I think the guy had a family boat w/ an Alpha and some power that he talked all types of shit about. Was that on OSO or Hotboat, either way I don't remember him making friends fast. To the OP here...

So I've been doing a little work since I bought her haha... midpoint: After this winter: Better pics to come....

Nice SG, congrats. I just pulled mine out of the garage after a major overhaul this winter, we finally have nice weather too.
