Very simple trivia, in each statement name the car make that matches the description.EDIT: in red people already got them right

1. By simply adding options you can double all the cars price in this make.2. This car make doesn’t offer any options.3. Only available in California4. In this make you will pay 10 extra grand for a bigger engine and get less hp.5. This make has no SUV model. 6. This make keeps adding displace (drop by drop) to their car to make it less slow. 7. This make offers 3 different cylinder variations in one model. (Name the model).8. This make offers 5 valves per cylinder.9. This make offers a vehicle with 1:2.5 hp to tq ratio.10. These three makes are known to overrate their cars (hp wise).

I'm being so generous with my thoughts lately, I thought I might add a few more. ;-)

6. Honda/Acura. :-) Hey, the S2000 is becoming the S2200, they have their 2.4 liter fours now, etc . . . don't know if they're actually making their cars less slow in the process though. ;-)10. Hyundai, in addition to all the others mentioned.

Toyota did in fact offer a 20 valve motor though.

Is number one either Bentley or Maybach?

checkered , you dont remeber the cobra fiasco a few years back ? cars were supposed to leave the factory with with 300+ hp and ended up leaving the factory with 290 hp ? ford recalled all cobras that year (99 i belive) to do some work with the throttle body and a few other peice to bring the power back up to advertised levels

technicly you can double the price of a hummer h1 , if the government would let you check off the "up armor" military spec option we got ours for around $170,000 untill 2002 this would have applied for the whole "make" but there is no M-spec for h2 that debuted in 2003

maybach is considered a make under the dmv , but im still trying to find the awnser your looking for , its a excelent question

how about .....mack,kenworth,freightliner ,peterbuilt etc?

outside these or some group like roush, calloway,mallet,saleen that sells a reworked factory car i wouldnt know

i appolize on the displacemtn awnser but i was wrong too , the c5 corvette has a 347 cid v8 whereas every vette from the mid 70s on had 350 cid v8 (big blocks were dropped at some point in the 70s) ,this could quailfy as a drop in displacemnt as speed still increases , c6 is rumored to get a 6.0 litre v8 going back up to go catch viper

vw does offer the 20v 4 cyl , go check out a turbo bug among others, but it was indeed devolped by audi divison of volkswagen group

if you look at gm the gmt360 truck platform does accept 4 diffrent engines: the vortech 2800 4cyl ,3500 5 cyl, 4200 inline6 and the 5300 v8 in all aluminum and cast iron forms but , only 1 or two engines are availible in each truck built on the chassis

I honestly don’t remember the coraba thing, mostly because I couldn’t care for domestics

About the engine line ups what I mean is a strait cylinder configuration a V configuration and a W not necessarily number of cylinders.

maybach is a make, all birocrasy(sp)

about #1

I thought it was an easy one, I guess you have to buy one to realize this, a few small hints it is a mainstream make.
