I completely agree.

:masturboy:

Not an RX-7, the hood doesn't go all the way around the light like that.

This ruins my plan to take a week off and do both austin and montreal . Should be a nice improvement in weather, however.

I lived at the corner of Dupont and Flushing. We mostly went to Rube's, the Torch, or Churchill's. I do know a guy that got mugged walking to Rubes, but I also read about shit like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnlREKXll6c at OSU. Again, it's not like Flint is a great, safe place to be I just think it gets exaggerated a lot. I also think it has gotten a lot better as time has gone on, at least close to the school. but anyway, Fun Fact: Dearborn has the second largest Arab population outside of the Middle East.

Right, but I could also tell you ten similar stories from OSU campus. I'm not saying nothing bad happens, but for the most part the frequency and severity gets greatly exaggerated, and it's not that much worse than a lot of other big schools.

It's not. The worse that thing that happened while I was there was a few people mugged when walking around in the middle of the night. And cars get broken into. The same shit that happens on OSU campus. On the bright side, the police are so busy with real criminals that you can literally do whatever you want.

I lived in Flint for 4 years; it's a total shit hole but it's really not that dangerous in most areas. The places that are dangerous you wouldn't want to visit anyway.

yes, the parts are worth more than that.

nice work.

Usually there are separate models (called limos) with extended "front porches" for longer legs that put the pedals out further. I'm 6'3" and this is what I have. For most brands the parts to convert to a limo can be swapped right on. Also, this is a great deal. Also, North of Detroit FTW.

I've driven both and while i agree the Jeep is nice, there's a lot more room in the Durango in pretty much every seat. It would be my choice for sure.

is his name PJ?

FTFY.

automatic only is a deal killer (for me), but other than that I really don't think it can be beat.

collecting turbo parts!? want an S5 turbo/manifold/lines?

no. too many people make decisions off of stupid backwoods sayings (see this whole thread). try to understand the actual physics behind this stuff.

no.

amplifying, creating, same shit - you're mincing words. my point is, it doesn't matter what the torque output of your engine is, you can make as much torque as you want with shorter gearing. An electric motor with 1/1000th of a ft pound can create 10,000,000 foot pounds with a big enough gear reduction. If torque was all that mattered you could put that in any car and go super fast, right? ultimately the most important thing is torque, at the wheels, at a certain speed. Horsepower is a nice way to summarize this. yeah, because the same torque at a higher rpm is more power. I've heard a million variations on this. Its some good ole' boy hearsay, there's no truth to that whatsoever. torque does all the work. F=ma, its that simple. power at the engine represents your ability to create torque at the wheels at a vehicle speed. more power means more torque at higher speed. you probably have a short first gear, short rear end, good tires, making lots of torque at the wheels in the lower gears. but at the end of the day 226hp is kind of low and you cant make enough torque at the wheels at high speed to get a good trap. ps. im drunk but most of this shit i think is still true. if its noit ill fix it tomorrow.

This a horrendously stupid post. Yes, the term "horsepower" as a unit may be arbitrary, but the idea of power, or work done in a period of time, is anything but arbitrary. When considering engine output the most important number is power, period. You want as much power as possible, everywhere. Torque can be created with gearing.

Don't let them get you a non-OEM cat. I could go into way more detail then you'd ever care to hear, but they are not even comparable to OEM. It won't last as long, it won't work as well.

damnit! Why do sweet comedians love to do this?

We have an ecoboost Flex at work, it's super nice. With various people trying it out and likely doing plenty of wide open throttle, it's reading an average of 21.3 MPG. I have no idea about long term reliability yet, but based on what I've seen from under the hood, it wouldn't exactly be a pleasure to work on. However, the under engine tray is super pimp and pops off with just four thumb screws. Which I guess is handy.

uhh... what?
