My dad bought the first 5.7 IROC that came out. I remember him making a big deal about CORVETTE MOTOR and FOUR WHEEL DISC BRAKES.

That car was pretty badass and got me a lot of tail in the late 80's.

My father doesnt care about cars, he says the coolest car he ever had was a Ford EXP.

My uncles are even worse, they might care but have never had anything but boring asian poo poo.


My mother was my crazy uncle, she had 3 V8 camaros (First and second gens) and an oldsmobile 442. She currently drives a fiat 500L.


I am the crazy uncle. i just need to wait on my brother :getin:

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

Charger pricing released, the Hellcat will be sold for $64.9k. Seems like a totally fair price to me. That's a lot of car for $65k.

As cool as the Hellcat is it's the $40k Scat Pak that's the real bargain. I want one, but only if Dodge wises up and sells them in General orange.

I like the idea of two different key fobs to control engine output for the Hellcat, they should offer that on all the V8 Chargers and all performance cars for that matter.

If liking the SVO is wrong, I don't ever wanna be right.

On that note: Ford, please make a Boss 302-type suspension package for the Ecoboost 'stang and call it an SVO, tia.

They could make a new SVO stang that's not the base ecoboost stang. If Mercedes can get 365hp/332hp and mitsubishi can get 440hp out of 2 liters, surely ford can do something special with 2.3.

There's a lot they could do with it, too. 350hp+ focus RS, mustang SVO, lincoln MKC-R, SVT fusion...

The transit, while only rwd here, currently gets the 3.5 ecoboost which can get you to 350whp/550whtq for under 2 grand.

Im kind of glad the head of Cadillac came out and told everyone exactly why cars have awful naming scheme's. It's because all the new money in China has no attachments to our historic use of model names. They are hyper aware of, and where in, the brand they are buying. Which is why now most luxury car lines are on a 1-9 model range.

It makes sense in an emerging market. But at home where 97% of your buying public is ignorant of the world outside of the country, why not stick with traditional names. Do we have to really let the Chinese influence car names here?

I would guess that marketing thinks that most of the Cadillac names are still associated with the various crappy retiree barges of the 90s over here.

The problem is, it's going to lead to stupid numbers one-upmanship.

The same garbage that leads to the new 2 liter C class being thee C300 and the 3 liter C class being the C400, because you don't want to look like the donkey in the 3 liter BMW 335i or the 2 liter 328i.

485hp and 475ft in a sedan for $40,000 is just insane. What a mean fuckin machine that is for the price. No brembo is kind of scary though, I guess you can always get some awesome wilwood aftermarket or something.

Like, big v8 N/A engines dont really exist anymore, let alone in clean looking $40,000 sedans.

The obvious answer is to market the 6000 SUX and reign supreme.
