Stout numbers! I want to see a time at the strip...

Lubegard is the only trans additive I have ever seen recommended by name by a major manufacturer (Ford). It reduces temps as well as smoothing shifts. Amazing stuff.

Haw, I am not the only one then. Every rack I have ever replaced has been on a car I owned. But since I am a nut who often sucks out the reservoir and refills with fresh fluid it is a rare even with very high mileage.

We often have our service vans give us less than the full amount of oil you might expect. They are GM 6.0 gas engines. Same with our pickups which are GM 5.3's. But my experience tells me that some oil always remains in the engine no matter how careful you are, and this is a good thing because...

Funny, I run Michelin PS4S's now on my sig car and they are nearly immune to wet weather. It was the same with PSS and both are summer only tires. Both were excellent in the wet even with the visible tread nearly gone...

Wow. You must be babying that girl! Seriously, the numbers are good IMO, especially given the highly stressed nature of your powerplant. I have ridden in two HC's and got to drive one (a Challenger). Another wow, truly an amazing car for an amazingly low price.

Tires are huge. Try some better quality ones and you will likely be amazed at the difference

IMO the Porsche offers a very different driving experience than the Tesla. The differences are very significant to a person who appreciates a certain "feel" and expects more than a sterile interior and driver interface. Has anyone here really sat in a late model Porsche? They have a very...

Too derivative IMO. Front has Fusion influences and the rear looks way to Civic for my taste. Just too gaudy...

We have to set the parking brake in our service vans to engage the PTO system. But I have parked in some mighty steep driveways without benefit of a parking brake in both manual and auto equipped cars and trucks. Never a peep.

I lived at the drag strip when I was a kid. Drove some really cool cars, was known as a "shoe". Even in 1969 we knew that automatics were going to be faster than all but the most experienced/talented drivers. And today they are quite a bit better. When you take my sig car out for a spin and...

I am sure everyone will love faster charging. Since there is usually a trade off between battery life vs. fast charge I always wonder where the bean counters have set the standard...

Although we tow with a 5.7/ZF 8 speed combo in our RAM, I believe most anyone with a V8 will appreciate the ZF slushbox. Absolutely amazing in tow/haul mode, and always butter smooth. Absolutely the only automatic transmission I have ever owned that when shifted manually still delivers...

A good friend of many years has two he uses for his biz. One has well over 250k miles and has never been out of the city of Tampa, FL. The other is over 100k miles. Both are driven by several different folks and this is much harder use than a single driver. They are great vehicles. My FIL...
