Now imagine sitting there with an enemy craft coming right in on you guns blazing and all you can do is sit there and pray and hope you get them first. The gunman on the bombers in that era had balls of steel.

I don't begrudge anyone that likes an EV. I instinctively list off their bad spots because the "glorious savior to the planet EV!" is thrown in our face daily and the powers that be were mandating them into our lives if we liked it or not. I have always been of the opinion the market should...

That was my entire point. EV's can do the drag strip. That's it. I know in America and especially on a traditional muscle car forum that of course gets some bias, but a lot of people value the driving experience as much if not more than tickets times at the 1/4. Myself included. I choose my...

I also got a ride in a tesla. No thanks. It is heavy. That is why it feels heavy. If you take your '77 to any area besides a drag strip, you could drive circles around your son's car. Custom tuned EV's haven't been able to beat 15 year old records on the nurbergring. Last I checked a Caddy...

If anyone here ever happens to need to drive in the fox valley(Appleton) area in WI, you MUST pause at the green light because people will sail through at 40mph on the red. Everyone in that town waits for green, then looks both ways before moving. You have to.

A total of 8,390 are being recalled. So basically, ALL of them that they have sold and maybe some they haven't across the entire country in the last 9 months. LOL. I have yet to even see one in person in WI. I think maybe the big dealer in the bigger city about an hour away had one parked on...

I have a soft spot for Olds as we had a few when I was a kid. 71(2?) Olds Delta 88 with a 455 and TH400. Speedo went to 140. My Ma's favorite car in her entire life. In WI, salt. had to retire it to the front of the machine shed next to the 63 Ford one ton farm truck because Dad thought the gas...

All of this is why I ordered my 2013 AWD hemi charger when the old tired 98 Expedition was getting replaced. On a 4 lane road, it is better to just slow down if you are on a longer trip and let the clowns get annoyed and their ADD will kick in, they will speed off. You can speed up after, they...

This is a fine picture/example of what I was trying to get at in my post. People that like the euro cars will fawn over that picture. I see it as why TF are you on the curb? The American car let's you know you done F'd up and you are in control of exactly how bad you want to F up. The euro car...

Different philosophy in different parts of the world. Also, Our helpful gov't made sure to prevent Japan and Europe from selling their most interesting vehicles in America. BMW looks boring. It mostly is. There is a saying that driving a slow car fast can be much more fun then driving a fast...

I think the 70's Mopars are going to shoot up in the next few years. Cordoba's and Magnums included. Ford didn't make anything attractive in that entire era, and GM cars rusted into dirt so fast they are pretty rare. At the time, Chrysler was frowned on for keeping body designs from 1971/72 all...

Here, highlighted the problem. We could keep ICE around and have much more efficient and fun vehicles if that agency didn't get involved. We had vehicles getting 60MPG in the 1980's. The designs were deemed both not safe enough and would not pass emissions only a few short years later. And to...

The Ise could not retrieve it's own aircraft. Sea planes with the crane, but it was mostly supposed to ferry aircraft to islands air bases and not act as a carrier. This conversion was done late in the war out of desperation and a realization the gun ships were basically of no more use by the...

That giant tower did not stop it from being torpedoed by PT boats in the end. Of course, you can't really fault the ship for the choices of the commander. Evaluation of the Fuso and Yamashiro also showed it was an obsolete design by the time the war started, with so many turrets the majority...

Car and driver is the most obvious paid shill opinion rag I have ever read. I mean it is good if the brand stays alive, but I don;t presume this is good just because it is alive. It might all be gutted and turned into "brand leverage" for the globalist auto corps to pay into for more shill...

98/99 you can get with no factory steps, no 3rd seat, and a 5.9 with an old style transfer case so you can actually put it in 2wd instead of full time AWD. You could also get a 2wd version with no 4wd, but not with a 5.9. 2wd 5.2 no 3rd row/steps brings the factory weight down to about 3650, or...

To be fair, I live in BFE WI and I can floor it to 90mph every single day pulling out onto the mostly empty highway on my way to work if I want. Not everyone lives in a city. That said, winding up a snarling V8 is and always will be 1000% more entertaining than the fastest EV.

Yes, they can make 6000lbs EV's move right out. Buddy had a 600HP fox body 20 years ago that pulled 9's in the 1/4. So 11.5 makes me wonder how it can do 60 in 3.3 but not do better than 11.5..... Also, notice how not a single EV article talks about how the new EV model set a lap record on the...

I mean there is always exceptions, but stereotypes exist for a reason.......

I was in HS in the 1990's. I also was in HS in a town of about 4000 at that time. So not exactly a lot of rich kids, and this was the tail end of family farms in WI, so mostly a mix of failing family farm kids and city kids. The one rich kid, that was actually rich AF, got handed his dad's...
