Ooh. The Boss 302 was neat. Definitely in love with the GT350. I even like the regular 5.0 with a mani. I once drove the ecoboost and it was such a lard I was actually pissed off. I was anticipating that for a while and after finally driving it, it was a total waste of time. Felt slower than a Corolla.

That ZL1 1LE is a track monster. Super dope.

This explains why the new Supra is so quick. It puts down some decent power even through that auto trans.

Definitely not gonna happen. They wouldn't hide that they would offer a mani. New autos might be faster and allow for a huge number of gears for improved fuel economy but they don't give you that entertaining feeling of rowing through the gears. Like a motorcycle, it makes even the most basic of drives around town something fun.
I think I remember the Z4 offered with a manual, though. Perhaps only in Europe (which is just r00de). What color Supra would you get? In the video I posted on the last page that black one just made me melt. Also like red and white. |

with the supra color, Id have to see the paint in person. most likely Id take the yellow although I love the red as well. wish it came in a purple metallic or british racing green.
If one wants a stick and a supra, why not an M2? theres a lot of lightly used models right around the 50k mark. the only con would be its maybe 200-300 lbs heavier and iirc doesnt have that short wheelbase of the supra. the two cars strike me as being most similar to one another, more so than the pricey and quick in a straight line porsche cayman. |

So the new Vette doesn’t debut until July. But I just got the new issue of MT and guess what’s inside??
I have NOT seen these pics anywhere. I think this was sent out too early by mistake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

damn, c8 corvette base models start at 70k now?! I guess it depends how good the base models are. it could have been worse & its also a considerable price increase over the 55-57-ish base price of the c7 right now.
not too crazy about the renderings and Im hopeful it’ll be nicer looking in person. those of you interested in the c7 corvette, this may be a good time to consider holding out a bit longer. wouldnt be surprised even further great discounts are on the way. would be great if the grand sports hit well below 60k & chevy extends their 72 month 0 % apr. |

The C8 is a car that I want! I'll wait for the 3rd year C8. They usually get everything right on the 3rd year plus. I have a C6 but I want a C4 and a C8 also. I need a bigger garage If you get a C7 don't get the one with the A8 tranny. It will blow up if you paddle HAHAHA

FCA officially trying to merge with Renault. Sounds like Nissan is in rough shape at the moment.

Hmm, if only Nissan made another 240sx they wouldn't be in this situation
Sarcasm guys. If you're panties were in a bunch for 0.05 seconds you probably deserve it. The Auto industry is doing some weird shit and it genuinely scares me. |

Ford, who everyone thought was taking over, is laying off 7,000 people.

Not the thread for that. I presume everyone will ignore this.

Seriously though this thread has rarely treaded into politics. There's been enough auto industry politics to delve into.

I wasnt aware ford was doing well. I thought their stock prices were sliding down badly since the early 2010’s. I would very much like their current ceo to be replaced or at least for them to reconsider bringing back the focus rs and fiesta st
if they were investing in EV in autonomous driving considerably, its not something Im aware of. that will bit them in the ass probably if there’s a lack of development there. On another note I was pleasantly surprised with the Tesla 3. seems like not such a bad deal at $35k or so with it being rwd and getting decent accelration ans handling. they dont have any competitors right now and in the forseeable future with their 3. with more charging stations and longer battery range, it could be a far more compelling buy for most. still range at 250-300 miles right now for the 3, thats still than most would realistically need. |
