You obviously haven't sat inside one of those if you're still worked up over it. Looks killer outside. It inside is Neon-spec. Not to mention they're not that fast compared to the Ford or Chevy.

 

 

 

Listen, we were all just joking when we said your truck is a girl's car- don't leave! :lol:

 

Right, those are heavy compaired to the Camaro.

We'll complete the ban cycle when he buys it, starts a thread about it, and says "my camera batteries are dead. I promise to get pictures later"

I have an 09 SRT8 Challenger and have had for three years and it is twice the car the Camaro is. The interior is alot better and I have not been outrun at the dragstrip by a camro yet. They are alot heavier and more comfortable with more room in them also. I am 6' 5" and weigh about 285 lb's so I do need the room. I have owned Chevy's all my life with the exception of 2 older Challengers and 1 mustang back in the 70's and I must say this car is the best Car I've ever owned, period.

By the way with me in it and a quarter tank of gas it is right at 4600 lbs and I run 12.7 at Thunder Valley in Bristol Tn. This is about 2 tenth's slower than most track's because of where we are located. You really can't go by what the mag's say it just aint real life.

Your a #@$%^& :lol:

 

I think its a great looking car, but I'd never buy one unless it was a second or third car. Just having fun. Besides, IF I was to buy a sports car, It WOULD be a Camaro :uhoh:

 

Edit: This one to be specific.

I've been eying this one for a few months now.

Good lord. One GD thread about GMC trucks being built for women and he jumps off the preverbial deep end. Unbelieveable. :thumbs:

 

As far as Challenger better than the Camero? Son, you need to take the Mopar sunglasses off. You got yourself an Avenger with a V-8. Good for you. Besides, you ain't running no full second faster than every recorded test out there, stock, on street tires, period. Pulleeze. :lol:

Yet is the key word. Wait until Q1 2012. The ZL1 will blow it away, straight line or on a road course :thumbs:

Lets stick to facts, I did not say that I was a full second faster than anything. Also the Challenger is made from the LX platform which is the Charger. I did say the Challenger was twice the car that the Camaro is and that's called an Opinnion we all have them some speak there's and some don't. I'm not a Mopar guy, I'm a Challenger guy.otherwise it's Chevy all my life alway's has alway's will.

You are right at least it should with a super charger on it and 80 HP more than the Challenger.

You said it is running a 12.7 at your local track which is .2 slower than most. Read. Average to best recorded 1/4 mile times for a SRT8 Challenger is right in the neighborhood of a 13.8 - 14.0. FACT. So, 13.8 - 12.7 = 1.1 seconds, I rounded it down.

 

As for the poke about it being an Avenger? Ehh, Avenger, Charger, Challenger, Omni, they're all the same to me. And that my friend, is MY opinion. :thumbs:

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
