Denners Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 He didnt take it personally, he was laughing too. When i think about it still, i laugh hard, i went outside yesterday and i saw the car and i went up behind it and pretended it was a shopping cart, i could not stop laughing. lol, it looks good on that car, but some i've seen are well high and on some cars there never gonna need that much downforce, they just end up like a modified shopping cart something man, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Candyman Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 powerful truck.. except dodge/chrysler have to be THE biggest pieces of crap on the market. LMMFAO!!! What? you'd rather have a Ford? You ever actaully take one apart? even GM for that matter? come on weak plastic gears (Ford) and compressed paper (GM)? I'd take steel anyday. Oh ya, my family's only had 1 Chrusler product die, EVER, taht was a '83 LeBaron, and that was because it hit a deer, which cracked the engine block.... Seriosuly though, spend a few weeks disassembling some of each american manufacturer's cars, and you will blatantly see the difference in quality. NOTE: Old GM muscle cars are fine, IMHO, their newer stuff is cheap though...but Ford is still the worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe the plastic because I have seen some where that they can make plastic as strong or stronger then steal but conpressed paper I don't know about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe the plastic because I have seen some where that they can make plastic as strong or stronger then steal but conpressed paper I don't know about that notice I told you to disassemble some yourself? Thos ebrown colored gears in the GM cars, ya, those are compressed paper. go ahead and smash it (not that hard, a quick blow to the ground will do it), you'll see exactly what it is. Those plastic gears on the ford vehicles, are not anything special. You can bend em very easily, strip the gears off a little less easily. If you bend it though, it cannot be used again, any torsion on it and it'll snap. Believe me, my all time favorite car used to be the firebird (and camaro), I loved all the years. i even liked the mustang. My parents couldn't understand why i liked such crappy cars, but I liked them. Then I took 3 years of mechanics. During that time I saw all the shotty workmanship and cheap parts in the GM and Ford cars. The axels that are hollow and the metal as thick as a cd, and skinny...UV joints left completely uncovered FROM THE FACTORY, crappy gears. Pistons so thin I can't believe they didn't just blow up. Steering columns that were verry brittle and would RUST through before the body showed any major signs of it. Cheap brake lines that after one winter would be so brittle if you twist them in the slightest, they would explode in your hand. I did see some poorly made chrysler products aswell, but only in their cheap models, and nothing that horribly unsafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 580 S is the first non-GM based (i.e. Chevrolet Small block powered) flagship model for fully 20 years. It utilises our hand built 5 litre version of the 4.4 litre BMW power plant now found in the vehicle. Producing 380 bhp (+98) 279 kw and 376 lbs ft (510 Nm) it turns a standard Third Generation Range Rover into a really sporting vehicle capable of accelerating from zero to 100 mph (160 kph) fully 9 seconds quicker than the ordinary 4.4 litre version. And the SL55 (let alone the SL65 when it arrives) is a far better car than the M5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look LOW though. Definitely could do with new suspension, wheels and tires...but it does seem like a pretty nice one though...gotta admit, first RR I've ever liked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Range Rover is one of the best large 4x4's off road - masses of torque and all the gizmos help greatly. The X5 is pretty useless off road (and I do use it properly off-road, unlike most 4x4 drivers) The power makes it useable on the road as well... :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got3n Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 I never got into off roading.......... i think it might be fun, kind of like rally racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 off-roading is a different kind of fun. I like trying to see what kinda angle I can put the vehicle in before it seems like it's gonna tip...you can go up and down some prety scary cliffs. Rally racing's a bit more my style though. I learned drifting when I was 8 and I was under supervision....on a wide open road in winter. Been doing it ever since. I love having the car sideways in the gravel or snow and having more control over the car than somebody keeping it straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefChickenWing Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Currently driving a BMW '86 325es. Mods include: Eilbach Springs and Bilstien Sport Shocks M-Technic body kit i motronic head swap Dinan chip Will be swapping the differential soon, as well as thinking about adding a turbo (though thats a bit further off) but that will be dependant on the latest rebuild and some further tests to insure the engine will take the abuse (190,027 on the clock, Go little e30 :D ) Will post some picks of the latest get together when I get them from my friend.
