Well, I'm not from Detroit. I just moved here in May. I'm not biased towards Detroit muscle, I just don't like arguements that seem to ignore facts in favor of trashing Detroit. I've driven just about every mainstream brand of car and all have their ups and downs. It just seems that a lot of...

There are fewer moving parts, but they break more often. How many 500HP rotaries have you seen up close and personal? There were ~5 of them around Columbus (where I used to live) that I would see almost weekly. First off, a 500HP rotary sounds OBNOXIOUS! I haven't met one person that ever said...

Just about every day. Seeing as how you're really close to the Solstice plant I'm suprised you don't see more.

They were probably just leaving the factory for delivery to dealers. Considering they'll make ~13,000 of them this year, the 8-10 you saw on the trailer isn't that much.

The SRT Jeep is just starting to make it to dealers now and advertising just began this month. You'll start to see more ads for them. The truck definately gets a lot of looks from people.

I've driven quite a few of these over the last few months and they are a blast! IMO they are a steal at the price they're offed at too.

That's because titanium doesn't bend well. It's all Ti.

Do you actually know how little a hybrid compact car helps he environment? Almost all cars are ULEV's now and the amount of CO2 difference emitted between a gas Civic and a Prius, for example, is negligible. GM has hybrid technology, but they didn't see the use in putting it in a compact car...

KaTech did all the engine work, I'm not sure if they did the chassis.

I would whole-heartedly agree if this were some backyard competition, but it wasn't. The level of competiton that Cobalt had was great. Factory backed or not, the same basic parts went into that car as all the others. You can even watch the full buildup of that car on Speed Channel. (isn't this...

only the shoulder belts release a little slack, it keeps you from submarineing in the harness. In case you don't know, unlike a 5 point harness, a 4 point harness has nothing to hold the belt around your waist. It's possible in a collision (if the shoulder straps push you down in the seat) that...

The trunk is so small because of American crash test regulations compared to Aussie. To bring the car into the US they had to relocate the gas tank, and the only place to put it was behind the rear seats. Don't worry, the next generation will fix this. The current GTO was just something to fill...

No, with the belts at more then a 10* angle you would compress your spine in a frontal impact as well. Actually, you'd probably have less to worry about in the spine compression area in a rollover. If you rolled over there would be no downward force pushing your body in the seat. Problems arise...

Any idea why he went to the expense of putting a cossie motor in there instead of just turboing the 2.3L Mazda engine?

What happened to Burmeister's Mazda 3? I heard he blew his Cosworth at Pike's Peak and hasn't been around since. Any news?

You should have asked me earlier. I had the front in my car and the rear was ready to install. However, I just dropped my car off at the airport to its new owner. The car wasn't noticabley different from stock abover 800rpms. I think it was a good mod and I was very happy with it. It was a big...

McLaren F1

It's the engine out of the McLaren F1, which is made by BMW.

That's what you get when you put a McLaren V12 in a SUV

Wow. that car was ugly before it got beat.
