Re: AutoWeek reviews the 2014 Chevy SS

This, too: Exactly! The SS is much more of a drivers car than any of the MOPAR offerings. I've owned a G8 GT and have driven the SS, the Super Bee and the 300C. It's not even close when you talk about driving dynamics. The MOPARs are more like traditional muscle cars. They are great with straighline...

Re: AutoWeek reviews the 2014 Chevy SS

Interesting comment about the styling complaints: Please give me an example of cutting edge styling amongst luxury sedans from Europe and Asia. You think the 3 series or 5 series represent fresh, daring, exciting styling? Most European cars are subdued in styling and this is what people want. The au...

Re: AutoWeek reviews the 2014 Chevy SS

Somehow I missed this: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sed ... cond_test/

MT compares performance test numbers between Detroit (done at 40°F) and LA (done at 54°F), explaining the SAE correction factors and everything.

Re: Silverado 6.2L Review

14.1 @ 99???? How the hell is that possible with only 420hp and 5672lbs? A 4th gen F-body had about 12.4 lbs/HP and trapped 99-100. This truck has 13.5 lbs/HP and is a brick compared to a 4th gen F-body. I could see 14.5 @ 96 maybe....wow. I wonder if it'll be even faster with the 8L90. Also I didn'...

The before part is so sad. But the after part makes up for it. Needs more fuel injection though.

Re: GM CEO to testify about igniton recall

This: This is going to be just as much (probably more) about political theater as figuring out what took GM so long to initiate a recall. Some U.S. rep. will grill her about things she wasn't around for and then report to his district that he "stood up for the tax payers who are being betrayed ...

Re: Chevy LT1 Lifter issue/camshaft upgrade

Here's what something like a 238/242 sounds like on an LS6.
