Just fucking pony up.

If your car calls for a certain octane, use at least that.

Anything more is pointless.

>>16062428
buy what your car recommends, and nothing more. the only exception is when it's a crummy brand that only puts good detergents in the top octane option

Get the Viper. It shits on both.

>>16062450
Only the SRT. Otherwise the viper is shit.

>>16062423
Anything German is over engineered and over priced and under performing

>>16062404

The way your tires are turned has literally nothing to do with how you handle and use your clutch/gas

I think you're experiencing a confirmation bias

Have you seen it in gold? Its pretty sharp.

It's early tech from a young company that needs to overcharge on the hype to rake in cash to continue to develop and make newer better cheaper products.

It's basically just a reshaped phone, plenty of phones cost 800 dollars.
I don't see the big deal.

>>16061643
This.

Anyone that actually ever thought buying this type of product is a good idea was retarded.

Literally take my mom's phone, DL a bunch of free apps on the market, and make this myself.

Eww bro drink some cranberry juice wtf

I'm getting by as a dealership technician with literally zero schooling

How about WyoTech?

replace the battery cables
rust doesn't conduct electricity well and neither does the air that replaced it once you scraped it all off

Wait... does it crank at the same speed when it takes 1-2 seconds to start as it does when it starts right up?

Who cares? 2 seconds is nothing. The air temperature can do that.

rear wheel drive is best wheel drive

If it's anything like the last winter here in NY you'll be fine, last year I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts on Christmas day and only had to shovel twice the whole winter.

If we get the usual foot of snow every few days from November to March (which it looks like, given how cold it already is outside), just make sure you've got good snow tires and know how to drive in the winter (steer, brake or gas, never two+ at once unless you want to go sideways).

Also, expect your car to start rusting away within a few years because of the ludicrous amount of salt the staties put on the road when it snows.

>>16061487
I've live in Canada and drive RWD all year round. Winter tires and don't drive like a retard. You'll be fine.

>>16061475
Soccer moms. Obviously.

>>16061475
Well at first people would assume "Niggers" but you'd be a bit surprised to find out that it'd actually be Mexicans. Mexicans like to put god awful large rims on trucks, whilst blacks like to put them on cars.

Probably mexicans but the only ones that can afford it are in organized crime

These things have huge tuning potential if you get them with the inline 5.

The V6 models aren't as ridiculously moddable, but they are good candidates for a 2.7TT swap from an A6 or (R)S4.

And if you truly want to go full madman, the 4.2l V8 fits in the engine bay as well.

94-99 saab 900/9-3 turbo: 1500 dollah
gt28 turbo of some sort: 1000 dollah
t5 ecu engine suite: free!
interface connections: 10bucks to 200dollah depending on wether or not you want to build it yourself
3" exhaust: 200 to 800 dollah.

400hp+ to your front wheels in a car that weighs 3000lbs or less for 3000 to 4000 dollah.

It's not a Ranger.

With a bed like that, it's not really a truck anymore. It's a glorified minivan for commuting.

>>16061315
they dont keep single cab versions in stock

if they did I woulda bought one

>>16061091
A good turbo is worth more than an extra 1.5L of displacement

In all honesty, the ecoboost seems to be working out pretty well for the F series line. My father owns one, and it's been a great performer so far. It tows his 22ft travel trailer exceptionally well, and it gets decent mileage for being as big as it is. However, Ecoboost is still new and fairly unproven as far as long term reliability goes.

So if you're at all nervous about the longevity of ecoboost, i'd stick with the 5.0. Either way, i think you'll do just fine.
