Having the a/c on is unbearable to drive with the cam's and you can tell it takes a hell of a load on the car.

I just want your car to work right. You're always posting about how it doesn't run right. Don't take offense.

I'm glad you're one of the few peeps in here with go fast mods and not posting about your new awesome headlights or whatever.

Give the new Top Gear time and it may come together. When Top Gear UK started, they weren't very good I think. It's become mostly scripted anyway, where that preview didn't look very scripted at all.

exactly. I bet most these ******* commentors only know of top gear from the last few years. Bet they havent seen the first 10 years of it. Fifth gear is also back but in short seasons as well.

Ya for sure man. I'm surprised most of you havent blown up. Its a fairly solid engine/trans if you think about it.

haha man I dont street race but everyone else seems to have people try to race them... :/ I had a wrx try too, but well that wasnt even fun he was so far behind

even not compairing them to the current top gear guys they just didn't grab my attention in any way. granted that's just a preview and all but i'm just not feeling it. my compairison was just an example. that'd be like goin back in the ufc. yeah, when joe and mike started hosting they weren't the best but they still managed to get my attention and do a fantastic job commentating now. hopefully this american version is good but from what i saw there was nothing about it to draw me in imo

They should have named the American show something else....Top Gear is Top Gear.

Germany didnt have to copy the name...they have 5th Gear, which is also a good show. **** one time Top Gear did a show vs 5th gear. It was LOL!!!

Having a built on power-adder makes potential upgrades even easier than with prior-generation ECOtecs, coupled with a traditional port-injection system for easy tunability and the 1.4L ECOtec has the potential to usurp the LNF as the breadwinner in the ECOtec family.
uhhhhh wtf? they think a 1.4L is going to trump the 2.0 in power? I have to see this. I hope gmpp has some upgrades!

Yeah those aren't very up to date. I hit up a bunch of those stations last summer and they had gotten rid of E85. Only two I know of right now are in Plymouth and Excelsior.

Not a big deal. Pretty sure I'm gonna sell my car soon anyway.
