New rims cut my 0-60 a lot more than expected

Not that I know anything about this subject but I wondering if Detroit has large ore deposits.

In fact you could probably drive out of Michigan and into Ontario and never even know the difference between the two other than the numbers on the speed limit signs.

Take a look:

So you guys do not have Alfa's either?

Omg there are TONS. They're obviously stored in the winter though

Yeah. The twins are fun to drive, but don't set great lap times.

Just like any American State that sees winter...

There isn't a wall between us. Not yet anyways...

Probably more per person than in the US.
Did you not read my other post? Half of the muscle cars ever made were assembled here. We made the Camaro for many years and still make all the Challengers. What on earth did you think we drive? Snowmobiles?

Same tires or appropriate tires for the car? My money is still on the Camaro.

Nope. Just a central location close to a port and rail heads. When the trains and ships became less important to manufacturing so did Detroit and that is why it is what it is today.

I have a dealer about 6 blocks away from home. What version would you like me to send you?

I have to ask, did you make sure there was an equal amount of fuel for both tests?

I never expect my AT to have amazing 0-60 times but I'd like to see on next gen have DCT or ZF fast shifting maybe with launch control.

$$$$$$$

People already complain about the price. All in favour of the ZF stuff though. Every vehicle should have ZF parts in it. The more the better!

I am completely shocked that they made a camaro that can handle. I wont believe it until I test drive it. They used to be the most @$$ happy car i ever drove.

Actually I thought you drove mostly SUV's and small sedans.

Thats very surprising. I am gonna test drive the car one of these weekends. They used to be such a horrible handling car. Like all real muscle cars. Camaros have gotten much better the past 5 years though.

Nothing smart or annoying to say to this statement lol

They make some gorgeous cars. Problem is its like buying a wall-hanger gun. It never runs. Its just nice to look at.

No but that would have slowed me down with a full tank of e85

It would be so easy for them to add it.
