Really? The Silverado SS?? power & style??

 

More style than power, personally my favorite truck available!

 

Ive never really been a fan of the mustang either. Probably because one of my best friends had one that left us stranded a lot. We spent almost as much time fixing that car as we did cruising in it. It looked exactly like this.


A 4 cyl 5 speed

I don't really hold that against them tho. I just prefer a chevy.

 

Idk about style either prob one of a few trucks i nvr cared for but i liked the regular silverado of those years, gmc more though, now srt10 thats a truck with power & style

 

Hi Member's,
Every vehicle is not for everybody that's why they make so many types of rides to choose from...We are all very fortunate to have so many choices in the automotive market place.

There's one out there for everyone's taste, budget and desires.

Thanks member's for not bashing other models..."To each their own" 4-Sure

Wouldn't it be boring `if we all liked & had the same type vehicle ? Beauty is in the eyes of the key holder, or beer holder" What were U smok'in ? (lol) when U got your car ?

The 2012 SEMA show is well underway, and among the various tuned and factory custom cars on the show floor, there are a few legitimate race cars. One of them is the straight-strip terrorizing Mustang Cobra Jet--now with twin turbos.

Though we don't get any stats or details on the twin-turbo Cobra Jet other than that it uses a pair of turbos and a 5.0-liter V-8 engine, we do know that it will be more efficient at generating its power: the 2013 Cobra Jet uses a supercharger--but that

supercharger

requires 100 horsepower just to turn the 2.9-liter blower. That's power that's lost for forward motion.


Ford paid close attention to turbo size in building the Cobra Jet to better overcome the biggest downside of a high-horsepower

turbo

car: lag.

"To overcome the biggest perceived drawback of turbocharging – the lag – we’ve selected the smallest possible turbos that will give us the airflow we need," said Dave Born, Ford turbocharger design engineer. "We’ve also got some other enhancements to help improve the responsiveness; we have very low inertia and very low internal friction."

Borg-Warner turbos based on the same design found in the Focus ST were used, with low-friction ball bearings. Ford says the turbos can spin up to 150,000 rpm "almost instantly." Lightweight titanium aluminide turbine wheels also help with spool-up.


The twin-turbo Cobra Jet project isn't finished yet, however. Following the SEMA showing, Ford Racing engineers will continue development to improve the durability and

performance

of the setup. It's not yet clear if Ford will release a twin-turbo version for customer purchase.
