Don't look now, but all the '23 Ram 1500 5.7's are eTorque!

Isn't that just like a giant spring they wind up ? like the Hasbro toys from years ago . Back the truck up with your foot on the brake then let her rip chuckling

And that E-torque is applied to the ice motor via a belt drive electric motor and not electric motors to the wheels, you can hardly compare the two

July 1 I ordered a 1500, got a great deal, very excited, didn't notice until the build sheet posted, the dealer ordered eTorque, I didn't notice his change when the order was placed. Got the deposit back. Now thinking about a F150, local dealer is offering $2k under invoice. I would much rather have the Ram, but the eYork is a deal killer.

That first couple years of depreciation on those $300K cars is a doozy.

Have they really gone up that much? I think my girlfriend's '20 was "a mere" $240K or so.
Then again, it wasn't ordered with all kinds of very expensive options.

Skipped the eTorque and went Whipple. Highly recommend it.

So let’s see what is bullshit and what is fact.

Because I have a reservation on a Z06 and don’t want to make a mistake for that amount of money. I really don’t care what the animal is, I just want the best value, okay?

1. Drag race C8 Z06 VS Porsche GT3

2. Now the track. Because everything I have seen and have read about the Z06 seems to be that it beats about anything that we have seen on a track. Porsche and others need to be real worried. This kid is a pretty fair driver, but whoever was in the GT3 RS was no slouch.

Start at the 4:00 mark and watch a new Chevy DESTROY a GT3 RS!!

That was impressive (road course). Felt like I was in the seat. That kid is what, 16 years old? lol.

I am #25 at a big dealerhsip in Coloado. MSRP. Likely looking at 18 months from now I was told. Looking forward to it! By that time Dodge will be a golf cart company!

Yikes...a "mere 240"...try as I might..I just can't justify spending that kind of money on ANY one car...ever...

You really need to cherish her more.
@Jimmy N. does.

I had 1 and had 0 issues with it. Towed and shifted very smooth.

Yeah..but Jimmies squeeze PAYS for her cars...I pay...and cook dinner...what's up with that..

My 2021 is an E Torque...also problem free..

 

[DGatzby]

I have not met her yet, but when I can get out to NM, I need to stop by their place and check it all out. He is one lucky dude is what it seems.

She's smokin hot...great earner..and he makes sure she only has a quarter tank of gas ...if she tries leavin..she aint gettin far...Jimmie aint no dummy

 

[Jimmy N.]

Too bad she's so anti-EV. If I could talk her into getting one of those, then she really couldn't get away from here.

 

[Boris]

Ah, yeah I knew the c7 z06 had the heat soak issue in the beginning, good to know they fixed it as people were seriously angry about gm releasing a product that wasn't 100%.

I was actually surprised how rare the gt4rs was, I haven't had a chance to drive or even see it in person but I'm sure it's an absolute monster.

992 Gt3rs is something of a dream car, unfortunately allocations will be hard to come by and porsche dealers will start their own shenanigans, Don't be surprised to see some for sale at the 500k mark especially if they have the weissach pack.

You have to be balls deep into a dealer to get any of these GT cars. Tried to buy a GT4 back in 15 or 16 whenever they came out. Every dealer had some bullshit, one even said I had to be their customer before I could be added to the list. In other words, buy a Porsche on the lot and we will talk.

Fuck all that nonsense. When I get ready to buy a 911, i'll go used and avoid the dealership nonsense. I doubt I'd ever buy a new Porsche. Their SUVs are glorified VWs anyway.

Tell me about it. Porsche and ferrari play these stupid games by the way of artificial demand by reducing supply.

I got the gt3 allocation but the rs allocations you basically have to be in the dealers pocket or buying an obscene amount of cars from them. I'm #1 on my dealers list for the gt3rs but any shenanigans above msrp and I'm about.

I think porsche itself has mounded themselves into a lifestyle brand, personally audi is the best bang for buck, I'm taking an rsq8 over a cayenne turbo/urus/bentayaga any day of the week. But yes they are very much glorified vw's especially the macan.

That's a very sharp looking truck.

The front end on the new f150s has grown on me, at first I wasn't a big fan but it has aged well.

Yeah they are up there now, and you know how porsche options go... $600 badge delete, $800 trim delete, $4000 for new headlights, etc etc

 

[1971demon]

If I had the money I could

I do...and wont

Can't tune the GM trucks very well.
Ram forcing you into e-Torque plus killing the Hemi

Ford is the last one standing.

Never thought I would be a Ford guy but the other 2 don't want my money.
