[Hundo®]

[VooDooXII]

Wait for the Pontiac G8...then do a full ADM conversion. :D

I want that car.

[VooDooXII]

I thought you said you hated big V8's :thinking:

Oh well...I'm with you on that! I wonder how the next CTS-V will be.

yep,seem like GM is trying to compete with the german cars...hell even the new impala is RWD

[VooDooXII]

Depending on my cash-flow in five years or so...either the G8, the next CTS-V, or an Audi S5 will be my next car.

Oil seems to be the root of a lot of problems...so I'm doing my part to eliminate that problem... :D

[Kamikaze]

hell even the new impala is RWD

It's actually FWD. There was a big deal about it being the first time a small block V8 has been used in a FF setup.

[Dirty Octopus™]

we do have it here.
its called an EVO :thinking:

yea i know the current are...but i thought they were gonna start building RWD ones

I think he meant the upcoming Impala will be RWD.

[mocha latte cupcake]

hehehehe you said ADM bwhahaha what if i wanted it to be NZdm lol

[Ran]

The foglights and fenders look retarded, but the rest isn't bad.

[Kamikaze]

We might be waiting a little longer to see a RWD version. According to C&D, the next generation Impala has been halted for the time being.


The Pontiac G8 and the Chevy Camaro are still a go—barely—but uncertainty over possible strict new fuel-economy regulations has jeopardized plans for a rear-wheel-drive Chevy Impala and other vehicles from this architecture.

[404S2K]

yeah I was pretty positive that the new Impalas were going to be RWD since it is being built on the same platform as the new Camaro

[VooDooXII]

Yea, those foglights look a little stupid...I like big fenders though.

I think the Commodore SS-V looks better than this HSV version.

Damn I want this car.


hehehehe you said ADM bwhahaha what if i wanted it to be NZdm lol

I'm sure you'd be able to get your way.

I'd definitely do an ADM conversion if/when I get one. I wrote it here...you guys can hold me to that!

[BKgen®]

it looks like a GTO because it basically is a GTO.

[VooDooXII]

it looks like a GTO because it basically is a GTO.

With four doors...and an even nicer interior.

[Fr33way]

It's actually FWD. There was a big deal about it being the first time a small block V8 has been used in a FF setup.

Cadillacs have used the Northstar setup for years...

[Fr33way]

They had a FWD 8.2L V8 in the OLD El Dorado also BTW

[BKgen®]

hence me throwing in "basically". lol

personally i'll take the goat.

[VooDooXII]

I love the GTO...if you've followed my pre-SAAB posts, you'll clearly see that.

If I have the opportunity to get a slightly new/improved version though...I'll go for it. I like how these look too.

[Kamikaze]

Cadillacs have used the Northstar setup for years...

Hmmm. Maybe they were referring to the latest version of the small block. I'll re-read the article.

[speedminded]

It's actually FWD. There was a big deal about it being the first time a small block V8 has been used in a FF setup.huh? they're already been several front engine front wheel drive V8's....

[Kamikaze]

huh? they're already been several front engine front wheel drive V8's....

IIRC, it wasn't saying it's the first time it's been done ever.

Edit: Found it...


The most notable news about the model, though, is the SS model's use of the Generation IV small-block V8 in a front-wheel drive Chevrolet for the first time, and the first V8 in a Chevrolet sedan since the 1996 Caprice.

Left out the Gen IV part. :doh:

[speedminded]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_K_platform_%28FWD%29

"The front-wheel drive K-body was used for full-size Cadillacs from 1980 onwards. K-bodies were sedans; coupés used the nearly identical GM E platform. The 1986– K- and E-bodies were produced at GM's high-tech Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant."

lol, that's such a retarded statement...GM is such a failure.

[Kamikaze]

GM is such a failure.

Not as much as Ford. They're having to sell all those manufacturers they bought because they're pulling the company under. Those purchases were a very dumb move on their part. GM still has a little common sense. Although they could kill off some of their brands like GMC. It doesn't have a model that's solely unique to it.

[On_Her_Face]

reminds me of exo x a little bit ftl

GM's lifetime warranty is a hail mary in hopes to sell enough now to pay for all the crap they'll be fixing and replacing later.

Welcome to posts 26 and 27.... :welcome:

Yea, those foglights look a little stupid...I like big fenders though.I meant the stupid looking vents on the fenders. Sorry.

[OneSlow5pt0]

[KPowerEP3]
