Also, 5.0 Magazine wouldn't sell many ads for rod manufacturers if they stated that the stock rods are adequate.

A.o.D. posted:I'm partial to the abrasive crack of a cherry bomb myself. With a sufficiently large engine, even the simple act of starting the engine sounds like the ritual for awakening an angry volcano god. I have Thrush 28" perforated-core glasspacks on my 390, no crossover, and turndowns immediately after. I can attest to that. It sounds like the God of Thunder, gargling with nails. It's strangely quiet after 60 mph or so, though.

frozenphil posted:Double posting because this is hilarious to me. How much tuning ability is there in the stock ECU? How about enough to allow your car to sound like it has some huge lopey cams at idle, but transitions to a normal tune profile once you pass 1k RPMs? Oh god. Want want want.

kimbo305 posted:Yeah, it's so overpowered that he'll never ever appreciate it over a V6. Mustangs aren't exactly known for having a heavy clutch, though. Most cars with a stock clutch aren't. It's just a cop-out. At least be proud of liking automatics like FrozenPhil, as misguided as he is.

The older FRPP wheels are HRE knockoffs anyway. Not saying they don't look good, mind.

Tide posted:So the Borlas arrived Friday. Pulled the old catback off Friday night and finished up the install on Saturday morning. Quite pleased with it, high quality stuff. Loving the sound, no leaks. Not appreciably louder inside, but has a nice deep rumble to it. They will pull you over if they are bored. According to the tester gizmo the trooper had, my tint is 15%. It was on the car when I bought it, I just paid the ticket. It was cheaper than getting them re-tinted.

The 0% financing will likely be worth around 3 grand, plus you get a new car with a new warranty.

. coolskillrex remix posted:you basically have the highest hp car on AI now that i think about it. Holy gently caress. It's close. I'm sitting right around 600 bhp with my E55 AMG, but I think one of the other guys with an E55 has more than me. I quit at the Eurocharged Stage 2 level, the dollar to hp ratio was getting way too high. I'd love to have 600(+) pounds less to push around, too. Dang. Jealous of that power/weight.

That's the reason I don't put much money in the exteriors of classic cars. I get the mechanicals right, upgrade the brakes and suspension and sound system, and drive the poo poo out of them.

In Atlanta, it doesn't matter what tires you have. If it snows, stay the gently caress home. The other idiots will kill you no matter what you do.

oRenj9 posted:Food seems like the only company that can't figure out the sporty automatic thing. The Z, Camaro, Vette, Genesis Coupe, and the 2/3/4 Series all have really good automatics and have for a number of years. Ford's just now where GM was in 2010. So does Dodge in the Challenger, and they're pretty much bulletproof because they were Mercedes-originated and not typical Chrysler garbage transmissions. Torque capacity of almost 800 ft-lbs? Yes, please.

From my experiences, the exotic dealerships are much more likely to just let you go out in a car than a Chevy or Ford place. I'm not sure why except the poors probably don't try to test drive Porsches very often.

Number_6 posted:Why can't it be like the 60's and 70's when you could order a car and choose from 5 different engine choices and 3 different transmission choices, and get whatever rear axle ratio you wanted, and get tons of choices for individual comfort options at reasonable prices? Order sheets used to be like, standard V6 is 150 HP but for $200 more you can order a 2bbl 250 HP V8, and for $300 more you can get the 4 bbl 325 HP V8, and for $500 more, you can order the King Of The Hill 450 HP V8 with the Super Ram Air XIII package and rally wheels Oh, you want tilt steering wheel but you don't want the bucket seats? And you want the heater delete but you want an 8-track tape deck? Fine, order it any way you want! Standardizing the option packages makes manufacturing cheaper and faster.

Seconding a Valentine. I've had mine for over 10 years and it's saved me from many tickets. The Escort with the GPS might be a close equivalent but I haven't had to test that one, and I wouldn't trust anything else. I got caught by a laser once but there's no defense against that except jamming, and I've never had a speeding ticket via radar enforcement since I've owned the Valentine. It can be irritating with false positives, but I've programmed it to ignore X-band radar.
