In the video they slapped what looks like a spliced image of a Camaro-like rear end onto a C-X16 not sure if legit.

I think I'm a fan of the front end either way. The red render has an AWFUL looking rear end, no way it comes out like that. I love quad tips but having all of them so close like that reminds me of ricers who put those fake tips on their C/K GM trucks. The way they have it on the C6 works.

srika

Yeah these are speculations

Lately, the Jetta seems to be having some clutch problems.

Sometimes, with the clutch completely disengaged, it'll give me trouble shifting into any gear, especially at a stop. When this happens, I even feel some resistance pulling out of first and going into second. It gets bad enough that I have to turn off the engine and put the car into unsynchro-ed reverse before restarting. Makes it a bit of a pain when parallel parking.

I'm convinced it's air or low fluid in the clutch line. What's confusing me is that it usually happens when I put the car in reverse (fine) then try to pull it out (not fine). Then it becomes a pain to put it into any gear.

Any ideas?

a guy I "know" on FB has one on order. some of you may have heard of him, he has all white cars.. inc. the first (and possibly only) Agera in the US..

Sounds like your transmission Volkswagen'd

No matter what it looks like, this new Corvette will be another beast.

new engine family? can they get 450hp at the crank with 32+ mpg freeway?

Costco

friend got a CR-Z, very cool. Plans to do the seat conversion, OEM lip kit looks nice on it as well. Love the dash/gauge cluster. Especially when you press the Sport button

I love the CR-Z. I just wish it had more powaaaa.

srika

I'll take the yellow one.

Good choice with the Tonka Truck. I'll take the LFA.

Costco

btw, the CR-Z is slow as fuck still a nice car though. Assuming the JDM back seat were swapped in, there is almost no legroom in the backseat. That wouldn't matter if both of your backseat passengers were double above the knee amputees though.

also, latest Motor Trend says new C7's small block V8 will have cylinder deactivation, direct injection and variable valve timing. The new "LT1" will be a N/A 6.2L, 450 hp, 450 lb/ft and ~460 lbs. Compare that to BMW's twin turbo 4.4L which puts out 400 hp, 450 lb/ft and weighs 500 lbs.

srika

that's great! also I'd imagine the Chevy gets better gas mileage too eh? Like a rock! I mean uh..

of course, the M5's V8TT makes 560hp... I think that engine would be more comparable to the C7, than the one you are comparing..

ttribe

Actually, it was Motor Trend that compared the two engines Costco referenced. I believe they did so because they are both NA.

srika

Oh. I haven't seen that. The C7 engine is NA.. which BMW engine?

ttribe

I thought it was the one in the 550, but looking back at Costco's post he mentioned the TT V8, so I could be wrong. I'll have to look at the article again when I get home.

srika

the 550 has a TT V8.

it's ok, you're excused.

srika

but, you may have to change your avatar.

ttribe

It does?! I'm guessing you mean the F10. My friend's E60 550 has the NA V8. I didn't realize they'd changed over to TT in the F10. My bad.

ETA: I just checked BMW's website. You are correct, sir. Feel free to ignore me...I clearly know nothing.

Crap.

srika

all good sir. :P

hard to keep up these days.

ttribe

Thank you, but still...

srika

well........... knowing what I know about you........... yeah....... it is pretty bad. heh
