Did you say 13.9 stock? That's faster than my car on the motor. I'll be at the dealership later, just think of the cough*nitrous*cough possibilities I just saw a base model one on 19, they look a little weak from the rear, but I like the nose and profile.

you sure it shuts off the passenger bank? sounds liek that would cause some blancing issues..

it doesnt fully shut them down...what it does is put in just enough fuel to keep them alive so that when you floor it, they come back on instantly...but it runs just like an I-4 from my understanding...and yes...car and driver had it pull a 0-60 run in 5.3 seconds and the 1/4 in 13.9...and this wont need nitrous...there are already so many parts in development for them....edelbrock just made headers for the rams that add a tremendous amount of mid-range tq and hp...to the tune of about 28 hp and 34 lb-ft over the midrange, with the gains at peak being 9 and 11, respectively

big bad buick....i believe i saw your car out at sunshine one night running no time....but according to the friendly announcer, it was quite a bit quicker than 8.59...thats pimp as hell

The system deactivates the valve lifters. This keeps the valves in four cylinders closed, and there is no combustion. In addition to stopping combustion, energy is not lost by pumping air through these cylinders

Now they need to add $100k to the sticker and every rapper / athlete will have one in their garage.
too late on the rapper...someone from G-Unit already has one...and Carmelo anthony has a Magnum on 24s...not a fan of the wheels...but the cars and explain to me, why do you despise chrysler? is it because the cars actually have style, or because they have the best engines?

btw: the styling is bringing back the Original 300s from the 50s and 60s...they all had big grilles, so they brought that back after the radical departure they had with the 300M

I hope that GM will come back out with a rear wheel drive full size again. Ford/Lincoln never left it, Dodge/Chrysler is back in the game, and my Buick is the last of the full size rear drive models from GM. I love the car even though I was always a ford guy, I'd love to see a new caprice/roadmaster/fleetwood platform with a LS-1/LS-6 :o Looks like I'll have to look to Chrysler in the future, I'm not a mod-motor fan, and GM is out of the game for now.

that would be the affordable full size RWD cars...the new Cadillacs are going back to RWD with the 05 STS, and the CTS, although mid size is RWD as well
