General Car Discussion

That thing is hella sexy. Where can I purchase at Aldi?

 

I just found this Retro mod 2016 GMC Series I think it needs some chrome on the grill and bummers but everything else is pretty good.

 

that last point isnt evidence of anything, any car does that

 

How quickly you can do it without stalling though, is what matters (which im sure you know). As a 1400kg car though, unless it idles at 2000rpm or far from its factory tune setting for some reason i doubt you would be able to do this very quickly, even with my~ 1080kg, 90 something hp car you cant let the clutch out very quickly.

 

I'd like to hear some opinions on this.
Apparently, this is a leaked photo of the 2019 Ram. As far as I can tell, most Ram guys despise it.

 

Looks fine to me

Well, here it is.

 

It looks just like a F-150 and Silverado mated.

 

I really like the design but the old ones looked better hopefully theyll bring it over to germany

 

God, that's hideous. The whole front assembly reminds me of this picture.

 

I kind of like that style, as it fits the whole image of an american pickup truck.

 

The old ram was vomit inducingly hideous, and the older rams were even worse. Fucking anything is an improvement

 

I don't think this look that bad

 

Yep, and you don't even live in SA. I used to be able to see it from the end of my street when i lived in Elizabeth Vale. My dad also worked there for like 16 years.

 

That's the old old old old Ram. I'm pretty sure he's just talking about the old and old old Ram.

 

Looks good, typical modern american truck design. What i don't get, why do they call it the 2019 model when didn't finished 2017 yet and they release it for 2018 (?)

Meh, not officially. Too big, thirsty and nobody needs them, there are cheaper solutions from Europe or Japan for those who really need a truck for work etc.

 

Thirsty maybe but with the ecodiesel theyre atleast as fuel efficent as the Amarok V6 wich costs more

 

Nah mate, I drove a Citroen Saxo 1.5 diesel with a fucked up engine, clutch alone would get you nowhere. It was probably making 25hp at best ;p

Engine tuning also matters; some are tuned for power and some are tuned for low end torque; A naturally aspirated 1.0L that revs to 9000RPM can make 90hp, at the cost of very low torque, whereas a 2.0L can be tuned to 90hp, and be an absolute torque monster. The KIA's 1.4 sits somewhere nicely in between.

Also, it suffers from severe rev-hang, a common problem in modern cars; In order to reduce emissions, that god damned hateful little electronic throttle is programmed to close ever so slowly after you let off the accelerator completely. This means that shifting takes ages, especially at high RPM, as you have to wait for the RPM to slowly go down before the next gear.

 

I had a 2.0l with 115hp as my first car and it had actually better torque than my moms skoda rapid as you could launch the 2.0l in 4th without stalling it

 

Looks a little GM-ish, but the good parts, not the weird square design elements that GM seems to like so much now. I'm sure I could get used to it. It certainly looks better than the grille redesign they attempted on the most recent trucks. The only thing that I don't like is the doors, they look like they have an odd shape to them, but that could just be the angle/reflections.

You wot m8?

How is that not the best looking truck ever? A little lift, bigger tires(with smaller wheels), and an AEV front bumper would make it perfect.

 

I have found shitbox supreme.
