    Gahhh, of course. The engine is still suzuki though, and revs all the way to 8,000 RPM, but I'm not sure if that makes up for the general lack of quality. GM ought to stand for "Garbage Manufacturing"

    Make all previously designed parts work in our new car, and when in doubt, make everything fit together with plastic.

    Surprised that they aren't trying to use plastic engine parts yet :p

    It is nice that they can pass cars if they need to though. Especially when you get degenerates who should have their licenses taken away people driving 5-10 under the speed limit. 5-10 MPH can make a pretty big difference for truckers driving all day.
    The elephant races usually happen when one truck with a speed-limiter tries to pass another truck and is only going 1-2 MPH faster.

    I'm pretty sure I remember watching a video of a guy who had a procharged one and him saying something about being able to pull a fuse, I could be wrong though. We are talking about Dodge though, generally they are a bit behind tech wise so there probably still is a fuse.
    You sound like the kind of person that infuriates truck drivers.

    Yeah, 310ps is quite alot for something FWD. What magic did they use to stop the incredible understeer everywhere?

    Limited slip differential, torque vectoring, all sorts of traction control systems, ultra sticky tires and clever suspension setups :)

    People say the Honda Odyssey is a boring car. Obviously they've never tried to back out of a parking spot on a busy street with an GM SUV parked to one side of them, and a van to the other, in a car with no rear visibility to begin with. It's quite... interesting.

    And no, I don't have the trim with the backup camera. I have a freaking TV in the back, but no backup camera. :p

    The Odyssey is anything but boring. The V6 inside packs some serious punch.

    I've learned from experience, because my dad owns one.

    It's got a lot of power, I just wish it wasn't an automatic, and you know... not a minivan. :p
    But yeah, I've spun the wheels by accident several times before. Most often on a hill after it rains.

    I spun the tires from a light in the dry once in my moms odyssey. I just mashed my foot to the floor and kept it there. Got a lot of looks from people lol

    After a moderately quick google search, the most powerful FWD car turned out to be an abomination known as Lincoln MKX with 335 hp.

    and another Ford thing for ya, back in 1980s, Ford took it's Taurus SHO motor (i think it was either a V6 or a V8) and stuffed them in the back of about 25 Ford Festivas. Jay Leno has one and put some super GO GO juice on it (Nitrous)
