Wait till you get some mileage on them. That's why they are lease machines. And when something does inevitably need to be fixed, call your mortgage banker and let them know you'll be skipping that next months payment.
I just love how you act like the mass produced mustang is some marvel of engineering. I'm not worried about it to be honest. I have a 7 year 70k warranty I probably wont have the car by the time expensive things break.
How am I acting or when have I said the mustang is a marvel of anything but enjoyment? Coming from a BMW product (that was quite fun to drive as well), at 90k miles it was falling apart and needing lots of major work. I replaced the turbo myself before selling it to a friend who knew exactly what he was getting into. He's spent nearly as much in maintenance as I have in car payments last year. A clutch for that car is about 3k where the domestic mustang is maybe 1/3 of that? Prices for mods are also quite a bit less expensive. Now if I was in Germany, I would like to hope it would be the other way around. In the future, maybe don't put words in people mouths. Also, good on you for being able to go through cars at a faster rate, I'm sure there's an award for that somewhere.
and Olds isn't? Ok, using the Cutlass Calais is unfair - should have just called it a Neon. The Cutlass or 88 were very nice.
Did you get that BBQ tick noise fixed yet?
The normal characteristic noise the engine makes while warming up or the sound of DI? No need to fix either of them because nothing is broken.
come now, it's the crank moving around in it's journals to maximize torque force of each piston. we all learned in engineering school that looser lets things self-align.
by the same argument, it is just as useful or as easy to look at as the digital dash...I have not seen in use a Camaro HUD. Is this what is so important, the RPM and Speed? Does it display anything else?
You are telling me that your peripheral vision is so poor that you cannot also read the rpm and speedo right below it?
As a manual driver, I never look at the rpm gauge. I use my ears to know when to shift. Speedo is occasional. It is not something I need prominently displayed on the windshield. I know how to use the right foot to maintain speed.
Unless it does more, it is such a waste. Just another gimmick to break or to be distracting you
By the way, those two chrome pods that house the gauges look terrible. Also, how tiny is the info center section?
The 12" digital or regular dash at least is large enough to be legible and provide decent information.
This Camaro dash is better but I still do not like the area over the gauges.
Honestly, which is eariser to read, the HUGE GAUGES and LARGE digital number on the dash or the teenie tiny hud?
Unless you can program the hud to display other data, that is a useless toy.
That is not something that would make me buy a car.
I will say I wish Ford was able to display 4 extra digital gauges like the Camaro. On the 12" digital, we can only show 3 additional yet I think we have more real estate than they do.
and from my knowledge, has had the same or better track times than comparable trims of the c7 and c8. Maybe not including the z06, not sure.
interesting how you are planning to get rid of the car before any decent amount of miles are put on it (IE...like people are saying it starts breaking around)..yet you seem to think they are in deed reliable and what they are saying is nonsense.
maybe you are forgetting the market the camaro is in. pretty sure thats been the idea for the big 3 for a while now, performance on a budget.
Do you mean even while the car is driving on the freeway and whatnot, you can use the rearview mirror as a screen to see what's behind that car? That's pretty cool if so, didn't know stuff like that was in production yet. Figured there would be years more fighting with the NHSTA to prove viability, heh. How about checking your blindspots, though? Does it help much with that? I'd imagine that's still at least a bit of an issue.
yep! it stays on constantly. You can turn it off to be a regular mirror if you want as well of course. although i havent turned it off a single time yet.
I don't have any reason to disagree with you, but it's just hard to believe that a dyno measuring wheel horsepower would show the same figure as sae crank HP. I know turbo engines have much more variability in their performance, so maybe the OEM's rate on the low end of the output scale? I've seen the same thing with the VW GTI with the performance pack. People were getting 230whp when the sae rating is 220. Is there something else going on here that I've missed? Everything I've ever seen about dynos is that they measure after all the losses that occur from the crank to the tire. Yes, you can't compare dyno results, and they're only useful for comparing one car as it's modified. But why do these types of trends exist?
