i got a new car.

[tl1000sga]

Well, I meant in a performance perspective, the syclone and 2nd gen lightning were in thier own league.

I wasn't aware of a turbo toyota truck. Any info or specs on them?

[krazy skwerel]

Folks it is all about the model A sport truck. Look at the links I gave especially the last one as it lists most if not all of the performance domestic trucks.

from factory, it wasn't that big a performance beast, but it was however the legendary 22RE with a turbo on it, it's been said to be capable of handling 19psi daily on the stock internals.

here's a nice little bit of info on the motor family

well, crap, go to the tech info section and look at the 20r 22r stuff...

my dad wanted one of the dodge trucks with the hemi. but my god the price was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to high. so he settled for a v8, 5sp.

[Mr1der]

I feel the current hemi is more of a name recognition thing right now personally, while it does put down good power, the Magnum is still no pushover and usually can be had a lot cheaper. It's all about the Cummins anyway if you want a powerful truck for truck purposes.

[nissanrose]

ok, i should have pics of my baby ( mustang) next week how do i post them??? . i can't cay to much about dodge they offered to knock 7,000 off the price of a neon if i let them have the mustang. my dad said he looked at that dude like he had lost his mind and said unless you make it a truck i don't think she is gonna do that.he was right, no matter how bad i want a truck not giving up the mustang. .

Stanks are the spawn of satan. I hate them all. Worse than Honduhs even and that's pretty bad. Shame.......

First I think you meant the Cummins diesel, because the hemi is a V8 as well. It is a 1500 dollar option. Not a very costly option least not to me. I would love to have one.

[Mr1der]

price of the option and dealer mark up to capatalize on demand are two different things though:D

[krazy skwerel]

go to a damn lot the hemi powered dodge is really affordable. 20k for a single cab. There is no freaking mark up beacause it is a hemi. Hell most of the trucks on the lot are hemis.

any particular reason for this?

Thanks sweetness.... :icesangel

Oh and I have a long long list of reasons why I hate Mustangs but let's not get me on my soap box.

GR

[Mr1der]

That's ok, I was just curious, people hate on hondas for no real reason, just wondered if you felt the same with Mustangs (though they give a lot more reasons to dislike, damn ford...)

Aw c'mon. Let's hear a few. I don't want to be the only one to diss them.

[krazy skwerel]

Yes indeed I would like to hear your arguments as well.

[tl1000sga]

I think most people hate honduhs and stanks for the same main reason, the numbers of them, they're everywhere!!!

Although, ford does give a few extra reasons to hate mustangs.

[krazy skwerel]

I don't know I guess they are everywhere for a reason though. So ford must be doing something right. I mean the mustang is still here. What did GM do? Axe the camaro and firebird and bring in a retro truck. Granted I think the damn SSR will sell well, but really the stang has no real competition.

[tl1000sga]

Yeah, but I think the stang has seen better days. I don't know what GM is thinking with the F-bodies. It was the closest competition the stang had.

[Mr1der]

I believe they were thinking something like this "hi, we're GM, we do stupid stuff, remember the Aztek? Yeah, you do? Well give us a few years and we'll give you something even worse to help you forget it."

[tl1000sga]

LMAO

Maybe they've gotten so big, they've gottn a "god complex"

hehehe

[krazy skwerel]

GM as of late has really produced a lot of pointless FWD's. I mean making the impala FWD crap, Malibu reincarnation boring crap and holds no candle to it's former self. Hell why not bring back the Nova again like in the 80's you know just incase they didn't spit on it's grave enough. I The new Truck WTF happened there. I always loved chevy's design but this new face lift is just plain dumb. If it werent for pontiac still having a few good cars I would just say piss on gm all together.

[tl1000sga]

I personnally like the trucks, but I deffinately agree with everything else you said. I hope this "SS" they are talking about producing will be something worthwhile.

[krazy skwerel]

All I have seen on it makes me say bah. If they build a stripped down single cab version of it then maybe, but the current incarnation of it is kinda weak. I havn't looked into them n a while though so maybe there is new info on them. Maybe the look will grow on me. :batman

[GirlRacerS14]

Ok....well maybe I should start out by saying that typically in both hondas and mustangs, it is the owners of said vehichles that make me hate on them. (and i say all of this generally, but as far as where i'm at it's about 99%)

If some a$$ owns a mustang he thinks it's the fastest car on the road....(insert male ape grunting) Even Ford's ooooh aaahhhh Cobra and Roush(sp?) stangs can't hold a flame to my lil boosted 4 banger. So whoever thought those were fast needs a smack in the head. Even after a supercharger and nitrous a cobra only ran low 8's here in the 1/8 mile. (and yeah he was a good driver so do use that one) I'm not impressed. And of course, I live in Tennessee so every redneck has one and expresses their male ego that a chick in a 240 can't stomp them.......at which point I have to constantly prove them wrong and make them cry. And as far as the "it can burn the tires".....you can make any car burn the tires if you're good enough. (I'll stop now)On the other hand, Stangs do have a nice low rumble to them and some models are attractive vehichles to look at.

Hondas....every brat owns one. I feel the need to tell them if I want my rice steamed or boiled when one passes by. I don't care how many upgrades you do to it, it's not fast, never was fast, never will be fast and if it were fast you can't put it to the ground with a FWD like you can a RWD. The majority of them i just want to open the sunroof and grab onto the massive "oh so aerodynamic" (extra 20lb wing) and do my grocery shopping in it. Not to mention parts are cheap so every 12 year old with an allowance can get one and do some mad mods to it and then wrap it around a tree. (I'll give an example with this one)....April (that's me) is haulin a$$ and slides a corner onto the interstate ramp....no biggie, i can do that. I've practiced. Then 16 yr old boy in his bad honda tries to do the same yet loses control and nails the curb and snaps his little press on wheels right off. Am I supposed to feel bad? NO! I get sick of little honda boys pulling up beside me and revving up their crappy lil rice burners and askin if i wanna run em. Or them pulling up to me saying..."wow you really stomped me" and I have to ask...."when were we racing"

All in all.....99% of mustang and honda owners need to stop, look down at that little knob on their sides....(the self importance one) and TURN IT THE FUK DOWN!

Thank you, I'm done now

[tl1000sga]

I meant the "SS" car that is supposed to replace the f-bodies. I am slight dissapointed in the new silverado SS. I like the fact that it's AWD, but they should have made it more of a contender with the lightning, and offered a slingle cab version.
