Motors Chat Thread Round 4

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Great job man, it looks like it'll look great with a bit of colour on it. I totally forgot about that thread, some interesting stuff goes on in there!

You may! Sure you know me so that's a start

As for the bumper, please refer to pages 19 through to 23 of thread "today I did something to my car" for further information :pac:

Tldr? It went good, just waiting to get it sprayed now, then to fix the foglights!

They mixed his meds up anyway today

please beware of who you talk to on this tread, ba_barabus is trying to get this tread closed down, I have gone trough all of his older treads and this is what he always does, he starts trouble until the tread is closed down, just ignore him and anything he says, he is more than likely friends with these guys, you have being warned.

WTF

I saw the same post on the car mods thread and post a picture of your car thread.

The absolute win moment watching a real rs4 overtake an rs4 tdi, both at full chat and listening to that v8 roar off into the distance leaving that tractor screeching behind :cool:

The though of this alone has made my day....for now :pac:

It's only 7.30 in the morning here, I'm only awake because of poxy jet lag! Give me a chance :P

The interior isn't amazing in it either:P.

I'm not sure what the 2014 model will be based on but I would say it'll be a bigger platform than that. I could be wrong.

I think the Yanks just have different views on interiors. They're all based on GM epsilon II platform albeit Insignia is a short wheel base version - not sure why.

Well there's me properly slapped down; well deservedly so for assuming it was an entry level model. Definitely the interior would beat a Crown Vic and sounds like a good engine package for NA. Is it the new 2014 (based off same infrastructure asInsgnia, LaCrosse, Saab 9-5)?

Well actually it's a 3.6 V6 and while it isn't as nice as the V8 I had in the Crown Vic the last time I was here it is much faster. The engine is actually excellent (I have only driven it about 60 miles so far). It has a super high compression ratio, even higher than my Levin :eek: and as a result it makes 303hp and is silky smooth (much smoother than any other V6 I have come across). With that power output it gives the car a power to weight ratio of 177.64hp per 1000kg. That's almost 18hp per ton more than my Levin and 24 more than the yard stick around here (e46 325ci :P). Now the slush-box does hold it back a bit but it is a 6 speed so realistically it doesn't slow it down much!
To put it into prospective the only mustang to have more power per ton is the GT500 (though admittedly it has a lot more power than it and also the other Mustang models)

Route 66 sounds great plus I really liked Chicago the times I've been there. HOWEVER, an Impala (as a hire car) would be about as exciting as getting an Avensis or Octy. True it's likely to be a 3.5L V6 but power output is unlikely to be much more than 200bhp which will not be that exciting. When I've had the option, I've tried to get the equivalent Buick (or Lincoln), not more powerful but more comfortable interior.

Hand thing with major US hire companies is that if you don't like the car, find a fault and pop into any of their branches. You can always keep what you have if they've nothing better but you might sneak a significant upgrade.....
