Mega's new car

[Mega]

I thought as VP of Itulip EJ could cut me some slack & fund my next car.........a nice New Audi TT or M2 BMW...may be a Merc A45 AMG...........But NO!

EJ feels "Very strongly" that I should do the funding thing...........


Thus because i do 90 miles 4 days a week i need something still brisk if not fast but with good gas miles..........

So Fu..Thank you EJ, Thank SO much...............

I think you'll be happier with one of these.

I was thinking more along the lines of this:





Of course, what Rowan Atkinson actually drives (or used to drive) in real life is likely more to what Mega might prefer:



Good tires. Good tires, but not great tires...

This is a sort of "Mustang 2" moment for Mega.........EJ has not been as helpful as he might have been. I force him into "Dinner" with Yellan for this!

As for the BIG Mac, Well a few road testers said a Golf GTI was a better car to drive down a cold bumpy wet back road....

Death of the supercar? Never...

Mike: Forget that Golf GTI shzt. To paraphrase Eric Burdon "Save up all your bread and fly British Airways to San Francisco, U.S.A.". When you land go directly to the closest Dodge dealer and buy one of these.

Only in America

• 707 horsepower 650 pound-feet of torque
• 6.2-liter HEMI V-8
• 204-mph top speed
• 3.7 seconds to 60 mph
• 11-second quarter mile w/ street tires
• Eight-speed auto transmission
• 15.4-inch front rotors w/ aluminum hub
• Six-piston Brembo front calipers

...To achieve such lofty output, Dodge started at the bottom, mounting a forged steel crankshaft with induction-hardened rod and main journals and a specially tuned damper. Forged connecting rods with upgraded bushings and carbon-coated wrist pins support forged alloy pistons. The aluminum cylinder heads are heat-treated, making them not only more expensive but, according to Dodge, also more difficult to machine. The payoff is better thermal characteristics—a fancy way of saying they won’t melt if you decide to run 15 back-to-back quarter-miles in an hour on a hot summer day. We know this to be true because we tried it.
Boost comes from an IHI supercharger residing below an *aluminum intake plenum that bears a slight resemblance to the *legendary aftermarket “Rat Roaster” intakes of the 1970s—sans carburetors, of course. What used to be the driver’s-side inside headlamp is now an air intake, and dual air-to-liquid intercoolers keep down the induction temps. To ensure that the fuel, air, and spark play nicely together under the full boost pressure of 11.6 psi, the compression ratio drops to 9.5:1 from the 10.9:1 squish factor employed in its naturally aspirated, 6.4-liter counterpart. According to Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain engineering, more than 90 percent of the engine content is new for this application.
Two key fobs come with the Hellcat. The black one, the “valet” key, is the archenemy of fun. It restricts output, caps revs at 4000, locks out first gear (from the optional automatic transmission), and puts the ESC in full-on mode. It also disables the paddle shifters, launch control, and drive-mode functions, effectively reducing the ’cat to a hissing tabby.
Firing up with the red fob, however, grants full access to the underworld. Push the dash-mounted start button and the 6.2-liter V-8 barks like Cerberus, its deep exhaust accented by a subtle whine from the supercharger. Combined, they produce a visceral and foreboding effect, the automotive equivalent of dropping the needle on a well-worn vinyl copy of The Stooges’ Fun House. Cowland tells us there was prolonged internal debate over how loud to let the blower wail. The quiet vote lost...
