It's ok but the stang design I think still blows the other semi "retro" cars out of the water.

I do not like the HUGE door panels new GM vehicles have, with those ******* little windows. :/

That's what I didn't like about the new Caddi...it looked like you could barley see around you.

fuck 425 HP, horse power means shit if the car wieghs as much as a tank.

A 2.5L flat 4 in a Subaru can get 300hp and do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, that giant ass 6.1L 425hp V8 can't even hit 5 seconds(low 5 seconds from the web site, so it may be 5.4 for all we know).

If you want horsepower in a car luxury car that doesn't suck you go with this:

A 6.0L W12 with 450hp and 428 ftlbs torque. 0-60 in 5 or less.

I prefer American made cars. ;)

Nothing like a throaty V8 rumbling under the hood. Dunno I just don't get the same feeling from something that sounds like a turbocharged lawnmower :lol:

It's rumbling because of the shoddy construction. :p

Have you ever driven one of turbo Subarus? The power's just on the ground, none of that sqealing, your just sitting still on instant and flying at 60mph the next. Beautiful experiance.

pretty sure the 300C (SRXT8-1000 whatever) cost less than that audi too....

yea it does... the whine of a turbo plus the hissing of the blow off valve sounds horrible, gimmie the rumble of some serious cubic inches!!

THERES NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT! :p

Pressure*Volume = AmmountOfGas * tempurature(in Kelvin) * R(gas constant)

The higher the pressure, or lower the tempurature, the more air you can fit in a certian volume.

ex. at a pressure of 2 Atmospheres lets the same amount of air fit into 1 Liter that you can put into 2 liters at normal pressure.

Even the thermodynamics work out better, at a higher pressure and concentration of O2 the combustion is more effecient and with fewer cylinders/smaller there's less loss to friction.

No replacement for displacment, your just using what you have much better.


Also, sound of jet engine > throaty V8.

Thought a mosquito was going to bite me in the ear and after some feverish wailing of my arms I found it was just an import driving next to me....and then behind me....and then it was like a pea in my rear-view mirror, no more whiny buzz.

I'm not here to argue the dynamics of how an engine works and how to get the most energy out with maximum effiency

fuck look at the buick Grand nationals, 3.8L v6 turbo, fast as hell. its not like we dont get it...

but...

THERES NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!

:D The sound, the feel, the response... oh yea...

:lol: Used to happen to me when I had the Lightning.. I'd be sitting at a stoplight and hear this really annoying noise. Once the light was green the sound was gone and all I heard was my supercharger :D
