Anyone see the new Camaro ZL1 stats? 7:41 Nürburgring time, 580HP, faster than an R8 V10, M3 GTS around the Nürburgring. Crazy. Wonder how it feels though, the CTS V didn't have any sort of adrenaline feeling with its 556hp at the track which sucked.

Terry said all they did was up the boost really to make more HP like they do with the 35is. So it has a wide body, LSD, m3 suspension and some other various aerodynamic tweaks but nothing else engine wise except maybe a stronger clutch / tranny(not 100% sure tho).

If that's the case, then I withdraw my comment that they should have used a 1M.
And I just lost some respect for the 1M...

or maybe it would still be a boat...




Have andy of you driven the Ford F150 SVT Raptor?

6.2L V8 411hp 438 lbs trq (weigh 3 tons though lol)
Crazy car
it's fking huge and so difficult to park
I can't call bad truck parking people a-holes anymore. it's freaking hard to part these things!
0-60 is slow, like 7.5
but at high speeds, this monster engine roars and pulls.
and you don't need to watch out for dips and bumps and driveways

and you tower over everyone lol

[Bowser330]

No you can still call them a-holes, you tried to park a truck a few times and are not used to it. The a-hole who parks his truck crooked habitually and has been driving and parking the thing for years is who's the a-hole.

Disclaimer: I'm not an overall truck-hater, I have a lot of respect for the turbo diesels and the smaller turbo trucks like the cyclone of years back. What I don't like are the monster trucks, I see them as the antithesis of my preference, lowered Import cars : raised domestic trucks...

Did you get one Sean? I really like that truck... Needs a blower though!

these painted relfectors are NOT easy to install...

Yes and no lol
it's complicated

imagine this thing with a supercharger...holy crap




Today is such a bad day for me
hope all the stuff works out...

The Raptor is an awesome looking truck, but the interior sucks.

I didn't know it was so slow. I figured that it was supercharged....

I actually liked the interior

very spacious.

but nothing was really in reach though...then again it's not a driver's car so I'm not surprised

there were so many buttons..

They are actually quite easy. If you can get Coffee Bean to let us use a power outlet, and you bring a hair dryer and extension cord, I can change them in about 20 minutes.

It looks like it came from the 80's. Ford needs to step it up with their interiors. Actually, most American car companies do.

I just saw Adam and his 1. Surprisingly that gray trunk looked good!

Riz, take of your shoes, socks. Ninja kick your reflectors with your toe. Accuracy, speed, power, you will succeed.
