I'm not a big fan of those types of cars, but its not bad honestly.

jpalamar · 03-29-2012, 09:45 AM

Thats the only Porsche that I like. Not that perticular one, but the GT.

Elliott18t · 03-29-2012, 09:47 AM

whats wrong with the other porsches?

Elliott18t · 03-29-2012, 10:02 AM

hmmm finding a place to live is a pain in the ass.

lownslow95 · 03-29-2012, 10:11 AM

It's too much IMO. I like the wheels and all, but the rest is overkill.

HickRocket1258 · 03-29-2012, 10:22 AM

I've been finding some good deals on newer Fusions. Let's see if my lowballing will work. It hasn't yet haha.

After seeing my coworkers new base Impreza and how much better the fuel economy is, I'd def add one of them to th table too. It is worlds better on MPGs with AWD but I like the look of the fusion much better.

HickRocket1258 · 03-29-2012, 10:27 AM

I like the look of the Fusion too. It doesn't look a whole lot different than the older models, but still nice. Gas mileage for the 4 cylinders which is what I'd get, is about 22-24 city and like 28-32 highway. Not bad for a Ford haha.

I wanted something no more than 15k and less than 30k miles. I want a 4 door car anymore and not have to be worried about my car breaking down on me.

i don't mind them with the white, i'd prefer the gold over those neonish colors they use sometimes.

I did some reading before I purchased it and between HPTuners and Diablo, HPTuners is definitely better, but Diablo was the second choice for Chevy 5.3 trucks. I wasn't after any serious power or anything, it has given me the extra pep the truck was missing along with better fuel mileage. Once I get more familiar with engine tuning I can tune it myself with the Predator, but until then I will stick with what is known not to make pistons fly out haha.

But why do you say it sucks?

russiankid · 03-29-2012, 12:58 PM

also, I am hungry and have a pack of bacon. What should I make?

Actually, an everything bagel with cheese, sausage, egg, and bacon. Oh that sounds so good.

Elliott18t · 03-29-2012, 01:01 PM

i never knew people went out and tuned trucks (at least non-diesels).. I think its silly... then again I think trucks are silly.

Haha, to each their own I guess. I love trucks, I always have. I enjoy going mudding, but at the same time living out in the country having a truck makes you easy money. People need something hauled for easy cash, doing random odd end jobs just throw the tools and material into the bed and go.

And yes people do a lot of tuning to trucks. Many people do everything from a CAI, to a cam, lifters, heads, and a full exhaust. It goes beyond that with forced induction.

russiankid · 03-29-2012, 01:05 PM

Here is a 0-60 in my truck. Mind you the truck weighted in with half a tank of fuel at 5940lbs on the dot, and it only has a small block.

jesse096 · 03-29-2012, 01:11 PM

Not bad for a 3 ton boat lol, wish my truck got up and went like that...

russiankid · 03-29-2012, 01:15 PM

By no means is it fast, but it surprised a lot of people and passing someone on the highway is a breeze. Just put it to the floor and watch them fade away.

jpalamar · 03-29-2012, 01:15 PM

Trucks don't need to go fast. They can't turn or stop.

Dafuq I need to stop for? I just keep going, if you're in front of me...well then you might wanna move.

JK, the truck does not stop for ****, Chevy put underpowered brakes on this massive thing. They later did upgrades such as hydroboost and 14" brakes up front vs 12". I will eventually do the 14" rotor upgrade but for now just getting a good set of pads and rotors.

jesse096 · 03-29-2012, 01:19 PM

My truck stops and corners surprisingly well for it being, well, a truck lol. Then again, I think my GVWR is in the high 2000lb to low 3000lb range too...

yeah weight plays a bigger factor.
