Your right. But I hjave owend 3 cars with 2.8Ls and had no problems. Guess it just depends. I have never heard of head gasket problems on a 3.4L----intake manifold gaskets yes. Wifes GAGT had that done.
-
yeah you better run mister!! :P #1 the 307 came out in the late 60's. #2 The 305 wasn't a bad engine at all. The L69 4bbl HO beat that Mustanf 302 in 83-84 and a 305 TPI 5 speed did well too. It was meant for fuel economy and not performance---hence some shortcomings on that front. #3 The 60 degree engines aren't ...um...bad at all...either # the rest you named sure did suck though! :lol:

Stupid name....great looking car! They had one in the Saab/Saturn dealer. I loved it and it fir like a glove. If I had the bucks, it would be in my garage.

I test drove a FWD V6 Vue the other day. Its FAST!! Very aggresive throlttle tip-in. I thought the ride was way too firm though. But my tester had the 16's---maybe the 17's would ride better. The new front end is growing on me but the old one was better. I priced out an Equinox/Torrent and the price is very, very close. But you get that crappy 185 3400 V6--which is way underpowerreed when compared to the 250hp V6 Vue. GM should have put a better engine in the them.
-
Ouch thats bad. Heres another Not a Vette but still...
-
disgusting. Like the engine though
-
Wow! Cadillacs are on the top of my want list for a luxury car. BMW, Mercedes...NOT! :lol:
-
exactly---they were selling PT's over MSRP and there was a wait list. . And the cranked up production and all that went away. They should just leave HHR production alone--and work on a s/c ot turbo engine for it.

89 TTA--162mph in my Car and Driver test.
-
You both make valid points. But Honda, in a way, almost admitted a degree of failure, when the 2.0 was increased to 2.2L. Torque went up, redline went down and it became a better car because of that. New cars try to get good low end torque with a combination of higher rpm power too. The best of both worlds
-
Can you write more then 8 words? I have expalined my stance already. The 4 door is not bad looking, I saw one yesterday. But its the interior----from the gross steering wheel to stacked guages. Imagine if Chevy did that----the media would be all over them. But its Honda---they can do no wrong. My Cobalt has a great interior. Nice textures and great fit. Its normal too! NOt freakishy werid
-
oh I know what it is. But thats grossly excessive. 16's are just too small for the application.
-
not but I simply cannot get past the interior. On the other hand---I don't like the rear of the coupe at all----the 4 door looks better to me.
-
Saw one at a Pontiac dealer today. IT has the 16's and about 1 foot of tires to fender gapat the reat and 6' at the front. Grossed me right out. Looks like a rebadged Equinox.
-
Great colour! I would have got my Cobalt SS in that colour...if they offered it. Looks like you keep it in nice shape. The Quad 4 was nuetured in 95---with balance shafts and the 6200rpm redline. But hey for $1k..... :P

Fall '05 Photoshoot - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Looks sharp! I like your gen Grand Prixs better then the new ones. Well except for the V8 :P -
Yat Ming isn't bad. Unfortunately because its only a concept car, I seriously doubt any other maker will produce this car. I hate the colurs---silver (yawn) and some ugly kind of aqua green. But I will probably get one.
-
Yeah I have all 3 mags. Either R/T cannot drive or they did not correct for altitude/weather or they had a real sick Z06. Imean 116mph to 125???? Either way----when you have 2 magazines and Chevrolet saying 11 sec 1/4 mile car----they are right and R/T is wrong. The Z06 has a beter power to weight ratio then the Ford GT or that slow Viper. Speaking of the Viper----I have only seen one test that it did 11.8----all the others are a low 12.

Just Bought A 2006 Hummer H3 - *PICTURES ADDED*
avro206 replied to CadillacCTS's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
Pretty nice. And very capable off road. Smart for Hummer to make cheaper more fuel efficent vehciles. They should make that pickup concept from a few years ago. Now if they could add some horsepoer to the equation.... -
Oh I posted before on this thread already. I will expalin it for you. Its my opinion and is true for me and some others on here. You have your "opinions" and I have mine. No one is right. As for the Civic being gross---the steering wheels and stacked guages do the trick to get that accomplished. I get tired of so called experts bashing-----its not fact, sorry.
-
New Civis is gross. Cobalt rules
-
you have bad info. The S/C SS weighs 2800-2900lbs. Mine weighs 2840 with 1/4 tank
-
wow--you guys are werid! :P Well I have a few: Took along time to figure out the Dukes Of Hazard car was a Charger The 86 Fiero GT fastback.....didn't know what it was or who made it. Didn't know how what Big block was. Learned its just a bigger block! Well a different family of Chevy V8s. Oh and I had a misconception too: When you had a cool car you got hot chicks! WRONG! Or if you do they are gold diggers :lol:
-
I was just buggin' ya! Everyone has different opinions. While not the most futuristic interior.......I like it better then the last gen Impala or the Ford 500
-
they didn't. Its a great car.
