urbex Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 How does me buying an HHR say I don't know anything?
xtremerevolution Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 says the man who bought an HHR. I WOULD buy a pushrod car as a daily driver or a project for shits and giggles. But you can't get me to take them seriously. You learn to take them very seriously when they keep kicking your butt at the track, and when you don't get goosebumps and nightmares when your electrical system starts acting up.
urbex Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 Wait wait wait... how in the hell did this thread go from bashing the new Regal to what type of engines are better?
Z34guy Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 How does me buying an HHR say I don't know anything? The HHR is a terrible car (experienced them before) with a pathetic excuse of an OHC engine under the hood.

I didn't buy the damn thing to race it, I couldn't give a fuck if it had two midgets peddling under the hood....

I didn't buy the damn thing to race it, I couldn't give a fuck if it had two midgets peddling under the hood.... That was out of line and I apologize. Let's get this thread back on track and stop arguing pushrods vs ohc. it's an argument that will never end.

Z34guy Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 though two pedaling midgets powering a car would be hysterical and probably the most economical car ever.
pwmin Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 I have heard no complaints about the Coyote Boss 302, which produces more than the LS3. my point with the M159 motor is that it's equivalent to a supercharged pushrod motor from GM, but doesn't need boost. I would HARDLY argue fuel economy at that point. Look, we can do this for days and you'll dance around the issue of power and displacement. Let's just agree to disagree about which is better and move on to complaining about GM. produces more what? And how can you not include fuel economy in an argument about engines? All you say is that you get more HP/CI and that's the only thing that matters? There are many other things you need to consider. This thread doesn't belong here anyway because the new Regal isn't a w-body.
BXX Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 This thread is a the result of some kid who actually thinks he knows what he's talking aboot, yet in reality his 'car knowledge' comes from a auto tech program and blogs and shit off the internet. I still dont think he has earned the right have the word 'guy' in his SN.
slick Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 This thread.... Another great thread, brought to you buy z34teeny!
WhatTheFehl Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 When I saw the title of this thread and who started it, I knew it was going to be trouble... and then it got worse from there. Its like a train wreck, you don't WANT to look, you just have to...
WhatTheFehl Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 BTW, this whole thread should be in the "Other Cars" section since the 2011 Regal is not a w-body...
runt Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 Not cleaning this up. It's locked. Thanks for playing.
