that's all gm stuff, any info on lamborghini? I gotta start my research.

[BigAls87Z28]

Lambo wasn't there, nor was Ferrari.

[V]

that saddens me

[Blacdout96]

You know what, the only non-boring car is the Buick Regal....yes, it's been a long time since a Buick was exciting, let alone one of the most exciting cars of the GM lineup....

[BigAls87Z28]

Camaro is boring?

[Blacdout96]

I was excited when it came out, but after a couple years,meh I kinda lost interest... but that Buick, man that thing is SICK , shame they **** shafted America and we're A. not getting the V6, and B. not getting the AWD version like europe..

Speaking of which, time for me to open up a GM importing shop that swaps the proper drivetrain into these things...

[BigAls87Z28]

Im glad they didnt go with the 2.8T, but the lack of AWD is kinda ******.
The HiPer strut system is pretty cool, but 300ftlbs of torque.

[Blacdout96]

What your take on the 2.8? or why are you glad they didn't go that route?

and hopefully they have a system that can prevent torque steer, cause that thing will go like stink IMO

[BigAls87Z28]

I had the 2.8T in the heavier SRX, and its a heap of ****. Poor fuel economy, massive turbo lag for a modern engine, just really poor.
the HiPer strut system is pretty cool, here is a pic.

Ford has a similar system on the Focus ST and RS to limit torque steer.

thats why :nod:

[BigAls87Z28]

I dont see why a 1971 Challenger with 22's on makes the Camaro boring.
