My BMW has inline 6 from the worlds best inline 6 maker.

Actually... as much as I do love my derelict old slant 6 powered Dodge, I totally second that notion on the BMW inline six, nothing makes such a glorious sound. I miss my 325is and my Hartge.

...and that just inspired me to watch "Ronin"

i loved the S8 from that movie... BUT, if you liked Ronin, watch "Transporter 3". That Audi makes some insane fucking noises and has a good chase with an AMG Benz.

I'll have to check that out!


Hey I had an '06 Impala SS in today - wrong tranny but jeez, kind of an entertaining car to drive.

"GROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAH!" "Hey I'm doing 120 miles an hour...."

the Impy SS runs fun... they are a hair faster than the Monte Carlo SS for some weird reason. My brother took me for a ride in when one when his dealership got a couple. There's something so wrong about a 303hp V8 and front wheel drive... until you drive it.

It's very very torque steery... but I enjoyed it!

Posted by oddspot Sure it could. Chrysler and GM could merge.... they'd drop the Neon motor into the Cobalt.... and you'd be driving a Cobalt SRT-4

Or both Chrysler and GM could go bankrupt and we would be stuck driving Ladas.

Guess what, rainman my old friend, we're going to be stuck driving fucking toyotas and hondas for all eternity.
how's that for a big bag of fuck you.

Works for me... but I'll be out of a job.

I can't wait to see the police driving Toyota Avalons instead of Crown Vics.

Hopefully Nissan will keep the GT-R and Z lines going.

Charming. Gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling. Think I'll get that bottle of Crown Royal now.

if the fuzz start driving these stupid foreign shitboxes, well, i won't ever have to worry about them catching my little blue Super Sport.

I wouldn't be so sure about that! an Avalon is less then half a second slower off the line the a Cobalt SS (depending on your source) , and likely has a higher top speed. Add a police package and it'll likely keep pace if not leave you reading his rear license plate off the line.

..and use a fuck of a lot less fuel than a Crown Vic.

Try a PIT Maneuver with an Avalon, I dare you. That thing will crumple like tin foil. Better yet; I hope they start driving Honda Accords.

I've seen a newer (2000) Tundra hit an older (1994) Nissan Pathfinder ... the Pathfinder had a scratch the Tundra needed a dent puller. They don't make them like the used too...

Then again that might go for all older/newer cars... I was rear-ended by an 2008 Cadillac DTS (in October 2007) in a 1994 Toyota Pickup (2WD 4 cyl) And the DTS front end crushed like paper ... all I had was a scratch on the back of the tailgate.

Though it doesn't look the Crown Vic will go away anytime soon:

Isn't an Impala unibody? they've been used as cop cars for years, and can assume for PIT maneouvers too.

Posted by oddspot Isn't an Impala unibody? they've been used as cop cars for years, and can assume for PIT maneouvers too.

the Impala is indeed unibody, the last iteration of the venerable W-body that has been in production since 1988. The front subframe of that car is a monster and an Impala will hit like a hammer. Go to a demolition derby sometime and if there is a Lumina or other W-variant, these things are the next best thing to a tank!
i had a beat to shit 93 Lumina for a winter beater back in 2006-2007... i would run into things for the sick ugly fun of running into things and the car was just impervious to damage.


yeah, yeah make a fanboy remark... i get it all the time, but seriously the Impala is one rugged little beater.
(unless it has a high mileage 3.4L... they had some issues)

i know what you mean sam, i was under my grand prix this weekend, that front end is a monster, makes my sunfire look like junk!
