My car is now old and dilapidated

[LTC8K6]

it's indicating that mph is selected

That's what you get for buying an Australian car...

 

[Fenixgoon]

Wow what a piece of old tech garbage. Time to upgrade to something new and cool that has bluetooth and a LED illuminated heated glove box. Get with the times man. Seriously you don't have glowing blue gauge needles? So low tech.

you forgot the biggest issue. it doesn't have OHC!

 

[SparkyJJO]

Oh the horror!

The Prius has LEDs, right? How many lumens per LED (LPL) does the Prius get? It's gotta be up there.

as long as you keep the LEDs charged and full of fluid, the Prius will return maximum mpgs

Well it is a domestic...it's basically a walking time bomb. I'd count you one of the lucky ones to make it this far.

LOL wat.

 

[Raduque]

20,000 miles... Man, I'll be happy to come haul off that piece of scrap metal for you.

Oh right, and that "ox cart axle"

 

[Fenixgoon]

Oh right, and that "ox cart axle"

yeah. what a pos car! where do they sell those things? australia? must be a bunch of kangaroos that buy them

 

[RocksteadyDotNet]

Oh right, and that "ox cart axle"

I'm pretty sure they have IRS.

However the pushrod shit is lulz. But hey, that's what you get when you source the motor from America. :sneaky:

I know what it has. And I'm not just pretty sure either, I KNOW.

And yes pushrods are lulz... because more power and less weight and packaging constraints and lower maintenance intervals and less cost than anything Europe can build = total lulz.

Can you link to some info on the live axel?

The Pontiac is based on a VT and all VT's had IRS. I guess we might have changed it for export but I doubt it.

"Though the stock GTO handles very competently from the factory, thanks to its independent rear suspension (not to mention Cadillac-smooth ride quality), it often suffers from the dreaded IRS wheelhop."

"The reality is that the '04 GTO is well built, boasts excellent fit and finish, has a world-class powertrain along with an [independent] rear end and comes loaded with the exception of a sunroof and a navigation system,"

I know it has IRS. Check your sarcasm meter.

PS: less than $500 in solid bushings and/or some sticky tires cure 100% of wheel hop woes without affecting ride quality. There might be a slight increase in road noise, but only if you don't have the correct exhaust system for this car.

But you shouldn't be posting accurate info like that. Everyone knows all Ford/GM/Chrysler vehicles have ancient low tech pushrods and ox cart suspensions with truck leaf springs. HP/L rules!!!111!!1!!!1!

Err, that doesnt sound like sarcasm.

lol, anti joke chicken really is anti joke chicken

Yeah I KNOW it has IRS. With me yet? :sneaky:

I'm now thinking that you didn't know it had IRS, and you're trying to chalk your mistake up to 'sarcasm.'

Nope.

Oh right, and that "ox cart axle"

>>> <<<

I know my cars. Esp awesome ones like the GTO.

But regardless, all "American" cars (Holden == GM == American even if it is Aus) have ox cart suspensions, so it doesn't matter. None of them can turn either because the steering wheels are welded straight.

 

[RocksteadyDotNet]

Nope.

It was a joke.

 

[vshah]

Lol @ chicken & mustang

 

[LTC8K6]

Yes, should have bought an American car with an OHC V8 and not that old hunk of junk. Look how it barely made it to 20K!

You guys are on a roll here.
