Pfft. My dad's family is from Hyderabad. Still have a few stragglers there. Not that bad.


















It's f*cking awful.

I've driven a 2.9 (yes, with an automatic, but still!). I'll wager that an Amish horse and buggy could beat your 2.9.

You wanna dance too, Kanukistani Turd Herder?

Someone must have put fresh oil on their mouse wheel and is feeling frisky...

2.9 arguments are so much fun...

I miss medium size to full size, full frame cars with 4 doors a v8 and a manual transmission, Rwd. The last company that did something similar was the chevy SS 6.0, manual, Rwd 4door. I hate chevy cars and trucks so I cant count that one. So ill call it the Vauxhall vxr8.

They aint full framed but the charger/challengers are some pretty bad ass pieces of machinery.

Only other car besides those id own would be a Crown vic or foxbody.

Just because it sounds like a sewing machine doesnt mean they arnt bad ass lil bastards.

Far superior to the beigemobile 3.0 and 4.0 compensation tool.

I never understood why 2.9 people make fun of 4.0's.... the 4.0 is just a bored and stroked 2.9...

With better heads, better emissions, and no distributor to screw with.

On, and the ignition module is more reliable.

4.0s crack and tick to.
Emissions? Meh who cares.
Distributors are easy and nothing a remote TFI cant fix.

I do wish the 2.9 had the dist up front though like the V8s.

So why is the 4.0 not as good as the 2.9? Seriously?

I mean I get we mock the 2.9 and all but it's not great. None of the ranger engines were ever good in my opinion. The reliable engines were under powered, the ones with power weren't reliable.

Refresh my memory....
Which was the Ranger engine that had power?

I think 207 was the best from the 4.0 sohc... that's not really bad for a small truck.

The ones with the 5.0's

Thats why I said similar. Lol I can live with uni body just not the GM thing.

I was thinking about getting a challenger or charger but after paying on this ram I'd prefer to build something older.
