It's funny you should say that, because Hammond loves american cars, the other 2 call him a "closet american"
I mean, watch the other one I linked, the Shelby GT500. Hammond at the end reccomended you get an old muscle car. You know, a square one. That's your kinda thing.

Forget the cube, get some more pictures of that van beside it.
[QUOTE=debmaster;25625113]Paused as soon as I read to word Top Gear. I'll take a review that's not biased as fuck and actually understands that a muscle car =/= track car. (I've seen it before.)[/QUOTE]
Someone has their panties in a twist, eh? :) Butthurt much? read my previous post

And saying they hate all american cars is frankly ignorant, go watch the US Muscle Car road trip and the US special, and then tell me they hate all american cars.
Tricking out my Supra with some BADASS TEMPERATURE GAUGES.
AWWW YEEEAAAR.

That is a 1987 Chevy G-20 we customized for my boss as an Iowa Hawkeye tailgate vehicle. It's called the IA Team. It's got a black and gold A-Team style paint job, shag carpet interior with a decent but cheap stereo in back. Bench seating to accommodate many passengers. The exhaust was leaking into the back pretty badly so we had a local shop put a stack going up the side and put a tractor flapper on it, so it can be running while parked without smoking out the people behind and in it.

Tried to make it look like the A Team van by going to the junkyard and buying a pair of the smallest sidewall 15s for the front and the biggest they had for the rears, looks pretty funny.

It was just a bare shell before we got it, another employee and I made the interior, a company that does cheap touch up paint work for our dealership did the paint for around $300 (it's tractor paint) and he said he ordered the satellite for it (not sure if it's the track in motion kind but I think it is) so I have to figure out how to install that and get a tv mounted in there. Turned out pretty good for the price, people at the Wisconsin game seemed to like it, also Iowa, way to blow it.
That is one hell of an awesome van.

Hey, it has power-mode!! :P
[QUOTE=Bledrix;25608118]Fuck yea the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, my favorite Cadillac! It has a freaking ZR1 engine in it![/QUOTE]
The 2009- CTS-V's LSA engine was [i]based on[/i] the C6 ZR1's LS9.
The LSA is basically a LS9 with cast internals versus the LS9's forged, and smaller supercharger/different intercooler design.

[QUOTE=Pandamox;25625042]Crashed my 350z last night. Was going around a corner at about 30km/h while it was pouring rain out (it had been for the last 3 days), started to hydroplane and the back end came out, over corrected into a ditch lined with railroad ties. Since I wasn't going too fast the airbags didn't deploy and the passenger and I were fine, but the ditch was lined with railroad ties and dug deeper than most so my car slid along them until it hit the driveway and crushed the front end.

On the subject of the C6 my girlfriends Dad couldn't get one within 2 years so he bought the Z06 and we still can't get a good takeoff without spinning.

They have 505 hp, only 100 less, what did you expect?
[QUOTE=MikeL14;25629263]They have 505 hp, only 100 less, what did you expect?[/QUOTE] We can get off just fine with a Roush Stage 2 07 Mustang (485 HP). I believe Car and Driver or some other reviewer had problem with takeoff traction, but they had the ZR1.
So today on AFV, a guy had a car that when the brake pedal is pressed, the horn honks.
How is that even possible?
That sounds useful in certain situations
"OH NO THE LIGHT TURNED RED EARLY AND NOW I AM FORCED TO BRAKE EARLY"
*guy brakes and horn honks*
Other Guy: "THAT GUY STOPPED, SO I MUST STOP TOO, THANK GOODNESS THAT HORN HONKED

Nice, are those 2 12's?
I got 2 12 inch kickers and I remember the day I installed them, it was fucking awesome.
Holy shit that is an awesome van.
I have a 1987 Buick Century.

It's a pretty nice car, I like it a lot. It's luxurious on the inside like a Cadillac, but doesn't get as terrible gas mileage. gets about 20 mpg usually.
Had to replace the alternator recently. It died on the side of the road on my way home from work.
I think itd be fucking awesome to paint it a really glossy black colour, it'd look like a mob car.

Yep, two 12"'s. It's gonna run at 600 watts peak, mono. Got it bridged on that 800 watt amp there.

5. granola bars/graham crackers/ something like that
