Threshold braking does not involve pulsing your foot...maybe look up the technique before commenting further.

Fbody interior was human **** from the start. Tha'ts probably one of the biggest reasons sales were horrific and Chevy had to kill off the Cumero.

I can't say that, it's not a Cadillac, but that is one reason I like it. I don't need a heated seat or touch screen display, ride in a 60's muscle car, not luxury, definitely not for everyone, but I would drive one over the new stuff.

I worked on road race cars for 20yrs. Some with tunable abs.......i think i know a little bit about both.

I mean if abs didn't improve the car it wouldn't have been on there. It also helped with reducing/eliminating flat spots on tires. Maybe you should figure that out before commenting any further.

Im sure the systems are even better now.

Mustang interior sucked and looked very generic. Not to mention the ******* horrid pedal placement. And if they did **** that up enough they got the shifter in the wrong ******* spot to.

Well we know the old horrid 305 actually made more power than your 30p00 know.

You know what else?? There are lots of 305s in boats.......and ******* zero 30p00s.

Why you ask?? Cause the ******* 30p00 is a gutless turd. It's why your junk falls on it's face when you hit 3rd gear.

I literally did a vid of a s197 car i was working on vs my camaro. Posted it in the *** kik group sometime ago. The s197 has way more plastic. Especially in the areas touched. Door covering in the arm rest area falling off too. It's a well known issue with them.

Your a complete dumbass like snail.

After having a screen in our Mercedes i can say that i don't even really like them. They're very distracting and hard on my eyes at night. I would also rather use my phones gps. I see no real purpose in these huge *** screens. Caddy had the best idea of a motorized one that tucks away.

Nah....my eyes has always been sensitive to light. I guess it comes with having better than 20/20 vision. Blue eyes supposed to be more sensitive to light also.

Really? The 8.4" touchscreen in my 2018 Challenger works great with my polarized sunglasses on.

Touchscreen in my mustang blinds me at night even turned down all the way.

I would like to have one in my truck. I'm always hooking up trailers so a back up cam would be handy. Might to a rearview mirror one idk.

The one in my wife's Infniti isnt bad. But the one in my Tacoma and the one in her old Jaguar XF were awful. Of course the entire infotainment system in my Tacoma is a steaming firey pile of dog **** so that goes without saying. I assume it has something to do with the actual finish of the screen.

The nav in my Tacoma tried to make me take a 2.5 hour 128 mile route for a 17 mile trip.

That makes sense... I think dodge uses the same unit for the Hellcat/SRT, etc so it's a high quality setup. Honestly I have no complaints.

The screen on my 18 F150 isnt too bad but at dusk when it doesnt switch to night mode its like driving at someone who has their brights on.

It's official. A 9 hour day at work with nothing to do is WAYYYYYYYYYY worse than 9 hours being busy.

100% fact. I had a job where we only did work when available and hung out the rest of the time. It was miserable when it was quiet. I can burn through a 15+ hour busy day and not even realize the time has passed.
