  1. GM LS and LT V8 engines are known for being some of the most reliable engines in the world, the LT7 DOHC V8 won't change that. You don't have to rev the hell out of a lower compression TT engine like a high compression NA to get the power output. Although the LT6 5.5L NA FPC in the Z06 will have a 8k-9k rpm red-line being a FPC derived from the C8.R so she's made to rev. I love Ferrari's and the sound of their smaller bore 6.3L and 6.5L V12 howling scream, but they are not known for being as reliable as the GM LS/LT engines. Although, modern Ferrari's have come a long way along with the Corvette.
  2. The GS and Zora will be AWD with 150-200hp AC traction motor(s) in front, Zora, a Hypercar, will be limited production. Z06 LT6 5.5L is a NA flat plane crank V8 similar to the C8.R powerplant. The LT7 5.5L TT in the ZR1 and Zora are said to have regular cross plane cranks as forced induction is not usually a good thing for FPC's. These C8 models will be Beasts. Too bad all have been pushed out at least a year thanks to the current Coronavirus pandemic that originated in China.
  3. Boat
  4. Engine
  5. Yard (as in yard work)
  6. Also, the NYPD cops in blue let him go back to his car twice and the second time he got in and started the damn thing up again! They're lucky he wasn't going for a gun.
  7. Now that's saying something. Let's not push the BS meter too far now blu! It's gettin' deep in here!? I wanted to see them throw him up against his totaled car and cuff him. He was totally cocky like they were all his buddies just BS'n with him. You could see the deputy in tan stand back a step or two with his hand guarding his firearm. Well trained officer right there, never know what the guy is on or will do when in that kind of predicament.
  8. Ah, that late 90's Riviera Coupe...she was definitely a looker. Both were way ahead of their time and way outside the box.
  9. I believe it was, "New York City?!"..."Get a rope." ?
  10. Update: "Crazy Rich Asian" Ben Chen gets cuffed. https://www.thedrive.com/news/32927/driver-annihilates-ultra-rare-gemballa-mirage-gt-in-manhattan-hit-and-run-rampage
  11. For sure, but many classics went that Grandparents gave to or were inherited by grand kids who had no clue what the cars were. I have buddies who deal with cars who were shocked.
  12. Absolutely horrible idea. Not surprised coming from Ford who needs gov't bailout money, but want to cover up the facts again. We lost 10's of thousands of classic cars in this country last time (some still in decent shape) from greedy, clueless people dumping them off for a new model and they had to be destroyed as part of the failed C4C gov't program. It was a total disaster last time and it would be just as bad if not worse this time.
  13. Not offended. Somewhat true for any race right now really, but yes if Chinese and visiting from there RUN FOREST RUN!!! But he was DWA and caught DWI. First question from police..."do you have a fever sir?!"
  14. Right, but those are known to handle like driving on the edge of a knife. One wrong move of steering wheel at speed and you'll instantly lose it. Just ask Jay Leno about spinning out in one on Talladega Superspeedway in 2005 and he's actually a really good driver. It's a deathtrap. Main question is, why was he not instantly cuffed by police after driving off?! "Leaving the Scene of an Accident" is against the law last I checked...
  15. YEOUCH!! Ah the Carrera GT with the known steering wobble and the driver was obviously inebriated to drive off like that after it was toast. At least it didn't burst into flames like Paul's buddy's. Dangerous car...
  16. Actually, pretty good Q1 2020 for GM full-size trucks when production was ramped up to full steam before this damn pandemic. Not bad after the nasty 40 day UAW strike second half of last year killed sales. Ram's second place late last year was short lived as most could of guessed. GM twins handily beat F Series like usual and New Silverado line has them in the cross-hairs Ford includes the F450 and F550 as will GM with the new Silverado Medium Duty 4500HD and 5500HD line. Not surprising the Japanese full-sizers are losing even more ground as well. Sounds ugly for Nissan across the board. Go away Chinese Coronavirus we have important business to tend to!

  17. Saw this write-up and vid the other day. Pretty insane-ly bad@ss. Definitely needs some traction bars or larger overload springs, you can watch significant axle wrap in the rear when at peak output on the dyno from the fire breather LT4.
  18. Wow those legs seem to go for miles ? You and your Asian girl fantasy ? I have a college buddy infatuated with Asian girls like you, he even married an Asian gal.
  19. Funny because was thinking it looked similar to the new Escalade interior with the horizontal dash line that flows all the way across with the HVAC vents (a good thing) other than the ugly AF steering wheel that ruins it for the driver. Caddy steering wheels are sublime and their interior still crushes it.
  20. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Still that Baleen whale mouth for a grille. Interior is better, but that ugly steering wheel doesn't fit the rest of it.
  21. Virtual Cheers!
  22. Beef Jerky. To go with the beer #quarantine
  23. 73 degrees and beautiful clear blue here in Scottsdale. IT Dept. should turn on the ventilation fans that the server room should have, open server room entry doors and open any windows close to the room then use commercial dryer fans to push the air towards the server room, just don't want it much above 95 degrees in there. Google has huge data centers that operate at 95 all day long.
  24. Still looks like a giant Dustbuster front-end to me...a $30k Dustbuster
  25. Getting close and just checked my salon's website, states that they are open and still disinfecting all of the equipment like usual with even more attention given to the stylist's station. I'm thinking to myself so are the stylist's wearing N95 masks too? My girlfriend will have to cut it, she owes me anyway
