    Anyone else excited about the new C7 Corvette?

    The back has now become more flat and slab sided. The rectangular lights and detailing doesn't help make the back look any less awkward or bulbous. If the 350Z had the big back end problem, the Corvette has it on an even worse scale with that design. Also, what is wrong with the glass behind...

    Motor Trend Best Driver Car 2012

    Ah, I thought he was talking about the GT, but on the other hand, the 2013 GT500 since it switched to a new engine design, already weighs 3852lbs. Minus the SC and plumbing, you're left with a GT Premium package that's at 3618lbs SC and plumbing is not that heavy, 234lbs is already quite the...

    What is your car WORTH to you?

    You have a MR2 V6 with what I presume is the 3.0L swap? Hell if there's no major problems,I'll take it off your hands for $2 grand.

    Motor Trend Best Driver Car 2012

    Hopefully the Mustang isn't 3800lbs. The current one is absolutely massive as it is at ~3600lbs, it's the size of a Toyota Camry. The Mustang hopefully is lighter and smaller, more like 3400-3500lbs and smaller. The Current Mustang is a big, muscly car, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make it...

    Thoughts on Sleeping Dogs?

    I don't like the movement system in this game on foot, I hate how there's a walk button and how the sprint/parkour button are the same damn button. On the other hand, driving is the best I've ever felt in a free world game. A game with a name like Grand Theft Auto could get it so absolutely...

    What is best gaming PC build for $3,000 or less

    I have a dual monitor, overclocked 3570, with 32GB of ram and SLI GTX 670s and it cost me less than 3 grand and I absolutely splurged needlessly on every component. What is your brother looking to do with the computer and does he really need a $3000 computer when he likely wont see any...

    The all important stripe question

    The MSRP was $42K so it was Boss price, I could have done it, but I absolutely cannot get a car anymore without the knowledge there is some sort of view of the sky and light coming in from overhead. I spent a few thousand hours last year in the belly of a Stryker ICV and I get anxiety just...

    The all important stripe question

    Yeah, I originally leaned towards white, but 1. Blue/White That's Shelby specific livery for Mustangs 2. IMO Grabber Blue is so bright already, white looks a little overboard

    The all important stripe question

    Well, thread necro, but I finally got it done today. I think it's different enough to not be confused with the 2013 Boss, but rather a GT with some custom stripes. The actual inspiration the graphics guy used was from the 1970 Boss 302.

    Worst Oil Change Ever? Oh Boy!

    If you're saving the money, you might as well buy a quality filter and oil, something like Purolator/Bosch, Wix, OEM or Mobil 1 or the like and some nice oil that costs more than $2 a quart. Off topic ish, but I used to work for a FORD dealership and I'd do the quick lube work tickets all the...

    Why oh why is there never enough hp...?

    Hmm, I was thrown off by the 9.5" wheel AFAIK, all 392s came with 9" wide wheels (20x9s).

    Why oh why is there never enough hp...?

    You have a Coyote 5.0 with bolt ons don't you? I took mine out yesterday for some runs on these miles and miles of traffic less, unpopulated Alaska roads and I'd say go for more tire. I don't know who made the decision to go square 255s on all corners, but with RWD, in 1st or 2nd, there's just...

    Lincoln finally moves their designs away from Ford

    And so it comes full circle. The original S197 was supposed to be on a modified DEW98 but for cost reasons the DEW98 Lite was further modified into the D2C. Now Ford wants to modify the D2C for the next gen to go back to IRS and double wishbone. I mean at that point, might as well just revive...

    GTX670 Sli crashes constantly

    As part of testing, I updated the bios to 1206 from June 8th, which was the latest. It was shipped with 1015 from May 10th. With both bioses, I manually set PCI-E 2.0 and it would work fine on both, while setting it on Auto or PCI-E 3.0 would cause system lockups and a few times entire system...
