I just wouldn't buy Chrysler or Dodge period, I agree with the above, those new ford eco-boost motors seem to offer a lot. Ford seems to offer a lot.

This car is based off a fiat (Alfa Romeo) compact, fwd, so...its nothing like the old dart. Its all marketing hype.

Plus not having to deal with Chrysler's service and warranty department is a "plus" that should not be overlooked.

Where'd you see an inline 6? All I can find are 4 banger options so far. Original came in an inline 6 I believe.

 I misread the article they were talking about the old slant six.  New rear image posted though.  Gonna be a sweet little car. 

I was still mostly sleeping when I readit lol, I remember how slow the slant six was in my uncles volare.  Ill definitely go with the little Turbo.

I am still hoping they will come out with the Dodge Demon (competitor to miata that was supposed to be released in 2010 before the economic implossion). Don't have any pictures but, you can google it...

Spinal Guy,

Maybe you can bring out your macho car and put it up against my 2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

And bring lots of money to put where your mouth is or STFU!!!

Looking forward to seeing you this summer but, I doubt you have what it takes...

The fact you bring this up unprovoked just means you envy the BMW  :o

Yeah,

It usually takes quite a bit to get me riled-up but, when someone makes a comment for what seems to be just to be a jackass especially when it is directed at an innocent comment I make, the gloves tend to come off pretty easy.

By-the-way Spinelessguy, if you want, you can chose to go up against my 1968 Mustang GT 500 KR with a 428 Cobra Jet or my 1969 Boss 429 Mustang if the Aston Martin is too girly for ya... Can't wait for summer now...

hes a pretty good guy mate, you get this worked up all the time? if yu think hes the only one who believes a Miata and the like are girly cars... ya need to get out more. By the way... there is a HUGE difference between what he mentioned and an AM dont ya think? Enjoy your Christmas and settle down a notch ;-)

Miatas stop being girly once you put a V8 in them.

Don't have a problem if a person thinks a miata or any other car is gay or girly but if that is the only comment you have to make perhaps its better not to make it. Especially when some people are trying to have a conversation about some cars they may like to see get built and even own. If you don't like the car(s) they are talking about/admiring simply move on...no need for a jackass derogatory comment. I only responded to his jackass comment by-the-way that was directed at my comment about liking a certain car.

I don't like a lot of cars but, if others like them and are talking about them I chose to move on...no need for a derogatory comment...

The only time that guys wearing skinny jeans get butt hurt is when they run short on crisco.

Was that you at the last Friday night drags basically just running hot laps against anyone, everyone and even by yourself?
Title: Re: finally, maybe
Post by: heep-a-lop on December 26, 2011, 09:13:48 PM
no but if it was a buick or grandprix i probally know them theres a few fairly done ones in c town.....  i can hot lap my car i dont get to much heat soak with the phenolic intercooler aand big fmhe......  i did it at edmonton one year after about 4 runs though my trans is hot as hell
Title: Re: finally, maybe
Post by: frenchy on December 26, 2011, 09:57:24 PM
Dunno for sure, it was dark and arrived late. Maybe grand prix...
Just seemed to fit your online personality cause he was smokin bmw's, any imports,very well built mustangs (more $$$ than skill), high HP trucks, etc... 
Seemed to not care about killing the car knowing it was the last night.
It was original paint type sleeper, but certainly knew how the light tree worked.

Since that great racer wasn't you  ;D I'm gonna have to put my money on the boss mentioned above. I'll gladly drive the 68 stang since Jeff cannot drive them all at the same time....
Spinalguy's right hand drive import can carry all the camera gear since it will be in the back of the pack  :) sorry Tom.

Post by: RUBICON13 on December 27, 2011, 09:02:27 AM
Sorry frenchy, I don't actually race them since they are irreplaceable and mean far too much to me (the Mustangs). However, I may be convinced to take a few runs with the Martin since it can be replaced. Where do these races take place?

rubicon13, wow. you took butthurt to a whole new level. It is common and accepted knowledge that some cars are girl cars. Even if stuffed with a V8 ;)
It was friendly bantering at worst, but you seem to have needed to take it to a whole new level.
Sounds like a wonderful stable of cars you have. The Aston Martin is a little girlish but you regain the manhood with your mustangs. JOKE! The Aston is a beautiful car.
As for myself, i will not humor you with the stable of vehicles i own. But i am sure 1, maybe 2 would beat you everyday at the track.
Maybe re read what i wrote and take NOTE of the grinning emoticon i used. It is meant as friendly banter.
Sheesh.
Frenchy, i will bring the helmetcam to film all of you ahead of my wife's skyline. i might also mount one in the rear just in case, i lead the pack ;) That skyline is built for the track.

That skyline is built for the track.

The problem with North American cars is they do great in straight line acceleration but get all flustered when they see a corner. :-*

BTW, The GT500 KR is THE car to own.
