So you have regular, fairly delicate Fiat mechanicals throughout the front half of the drivetrain, then as soon as the prop exits the back of the gearbox, it's like everything's built to take an attack from a pissed-off T-Rex.

Around here at least, every single Amarok is fitted with 22"+ bro wheels and usually driven by a self employed tradesman who specialises in serving rich people and is about to heavily overcharge you, or maybe by a site foreman who everyone mocks for driving a girls ute which probably isn't even the AWD version. They sure are big and have a pretty nice interior for the class tho. If you don't need a proper low-range 4WD system it's probably a great choice.

I've noticed AI tends to not like Nissan 350z/370z's. Why is that? I think they're neat

So if I was looking for a similar car - FR layout, hardtop, manual tranny, fun amount of power (~250+hp/tq) in a similar price and reliability range, what's better? Edit: ^^^ bonus points for Alberta market specific

Friar Zucchini posted:2011+ Mustang V6? (That one has 305 hp, the 2010 had 210) I'm sorry, I just can't do a Mustang from those model years. The newest generation is nice though. I was originally thinking C5 vette, but smaller and lighter would be nice. Honestly I'm divided about whether I'd want something mechanically/electrically simple and older, or something newer. I'd like to do some of the work myself but on a newer car that probably won't happen. I can't believe I'm saying this but the Genesis 3.8GT is actually really looking good. Am I sick?

C5 vette is an absolute bargain right now. The go fast bits are cheap and they handle pretty well. As long as your not DasVolk. Edit: E92 335i, E46 M3, Audi S4, C5 Vette are a few I can think of off the top of my head. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Sep 7, 2015 |

I saw a 370z up close the other day and I thought it was pretty sweet, much better looking than a 350. I'd drive one. If you like it and you like the way it drives I don't see what the big deal is.

That said, if you dare to bring up that stock-for-stock, a 350Z is faster than an S2000, everyone will be demanding your head on a stick. Sometimes the truth hurts. They're fat, don't handle particularly well, don't make extraordinary power, and aren't a steal by any stretch of the imagination.

DEUCE SLUICE posted:What price range are you looking at? New 370z or used old 350z is a big spread. Like $15-20k (in Canada though), so I wasn't really considering a new 370z. There were some older 370's that popped up close to $20k though. Man, after looking at C5 vettes I can't really justify looking at much else. For $20k I can easily find a nice one and if I took my time and hunted I could probably find a decent one as low as $16k. And they're LSx engines so repairs and go fast parts are everywhere.

Its your cash, but you're much better off buying a C5 than a Z car. And more than likely its been babied its entire life, in a garage under a cover. The only thing is GM interior build quality. They did much better in a C5, but even a late 90s Camry interior build quality is light years better than GM.

loving coworker installed a 1.2kW inverter on Friday, couldn't get the battery terminals on in time, "Hey Tommychu can you finish this on the weekend? Truck's rolling Monday morning" So I get all my poo poo done, then have a look at this thing. He cut up a set of cheap, used 0-gauge booster cables (you know, the ones with the insulation that crumbles if you look at it funny), going through a hole that a beaver seems to have gnawed through the floor, no grommet, zero circuit protection, not even a length of hose strapped to the cable. Texted him. He's done half a dozen like that, it's fine man just put the terminals on. Somehow I get the feeling I'm going to be fixing a whole bunch of inverter installations in the near future.

Yeah I've been looking at C5's lately and the interior is...very GM. Willing to accept it though since its a pretty awesome car otherwise. The shifter would go pretty much immediately, likely for a C6 unit. Somewhat related: Winter beater, CR-V or Rav4? Probably 10ish years old.
