Economy-wise, I'll be getting about 3gpm (gallons per mile).

Seriously, the best looking truck ever made.

While I am a staunch anti-socialist, in this case, a loan guarantee would be more capitalist than anything else. If they were to fork over your money for a stake in the control of the companies, that'd be socialist.

The thought of Obama or McCain as leader of the USA frightens me, but it appears that they may be starting to understand some of the real issues.

They are bad ass, especially when coming in right over your head.

Everything else, they can keep. My fantasies aren't frugal or diesel powered.

All of a sudden, Poland rocks.

For every person on Jalopnik who thumbs their nose at the Camaro for being heavy, there would be one or two more who would chastize it for having a lowgrade (but light) interior or "only" having roll up windows.

I gotta say, 3700lbs isn't too bad for a car that has everything.

Malaise II! Will we see a return of the sealed beams?

Except the California legislature. For now anyways, roll in freedom!

Now that is quality control.

When first checking out this car, I mentioned to Ben that the only new Mustang I'd own would be the base V6 with a real engine swapped in.

The Bullit does a good job of that, cept I don't want to pay a premium for that combination.

For example, all of those air-ratchets you saw them using to assemble the engine are actually computer controlled and programmed to torque each bolt to its proper torque spec. Each torque readong for each bolt tightened is recorded and stored should there be a problem with the engine during final inspection.

In all, these LS9s, as well as the LS7s that are built at the same facility are among some of the most precisely assembled engines in the world.

Those numbers have very little to do with anything meaningful, and have very much to do with playing along with the Greenwashing bandwagon.

I know Ben put a lot of emphasis on "shit", but when I drove one, I found it really, really hard to find something wrong with this car besides the obvious lack of a proper row-it-yourself gearbox.

Though, there are aftermarket T56 swap kits in the works.

Soon, we'll have to Hoon on the Moon.

Seriously, T-Tops and all.

The HO versions are pretty peppy, they don't have any glaring design faults and tend to last longer than the cars they are installed in. I've spent lots of time with an Intrepid R/T and can say that I appreciated that car more than any of its immediate competition at the time.

In this thread, the only argument against this engine so far as been, "ZOMG its a CHRYSLER! Crush that PIG!"

But right now, unless you're Tesla, there ain't much to be had. Hell, even Tesla is having a hard time.
