toyota tundra > 4 star front impact rating
dodge ram > 5 star
chevy silverado/gmc sierra > 5 star
ford f-150 > 5 star

Yeah, but they're pickups. The Ram, F150 ect are built with the aim of being as tough as possible, which means that you do alright if your in one, but if your in another car or a pedestrian then you're buggered. Which is highly likely, seen as the only people who feel the need to buy a vehicle that big are utter pillocks who have no regard for the safety of others.

well yea tough is good, there has been somewhat of a push to make the impact with a larger vehicle a little safer. like crumple zones and what not. and a big broad front bumper spreads the force over a broader area so not one area on the car gets completely demolished. it is also up to the companies to make their cars safe too, though most cars will never be as safe in an impact like a 4 ton vehicle but they are getting pretty good

A cool sounding engine is the Infinity G35.

They do fantastically so long as it isn't some muppet in a 4 ton vehicle isn't what hits you!

ROFL .......... true.
a couple weeks ago when it was one of those rainy days. a volkswagen passat traveling on a hilly single lane road hit a puddle of water that caused it to hydroplane into an oncoming cadillac ext. the he3ad on collision happened at 50-60 mph. one person inside the passat died instantly and the other died at the hospital the two people inside the cadillac suffered serious injuries as well but they lived. sometimes it isnt always careless driving sometimes it is a freak accident and alot of times the people in the smaller vehicle dont do so well im afraid

I'd rather die than be crippled for life, though

Ofcourse head on a SUV will always be stonger then a normal car, a SUV is not so much a safer car, it's more a unsafe car for other traffic, for the people inside the SUV it's relatively safe, but because it's a high car it will cause serious damage on any car that is lower then itself. I seen several crashtest between SUV/Jeeps and normal passenger cars. in general they completely distroy the passenger car, and often flip over themselfs and are more damaged by the rolling then the crash with the car.

A big(ger) change that if the Passat hit a normal car at the same speed they would have survived but because a SUV is higher it goes above the protection beam and will simply plow into the car at high speed.

Got to be a ferrari i heard in a carpark a couple months back. It was only a 360 but damm it sounds good. That and a M6 and a Aston DB8. Those are the only cars that i can think of that i have heard in real life.

Lamborghini Gallardo, Dodge SRT-10, and this wicked Valiant Drag Car that I saw at Meguiar's Motor Expo.

Other than that, our Subaru MY04 WRX has a massive exhaust and sounds AWESOME!!! And also, even though I haven't heard one in real life, Ford GT would be awesome.

I've gotta say I'm not a huge fan of either drag car sounds or boxers. The high-tune Porsches are an exception to this, though. To me, drag cars just sound loud, have no real definition, rasp or any sound pleasing to the ears.
At the moment, I'm loving the sound of the Audi I5 Turbo engines again. Nothing better than hearing a Sport Quattro on full blast.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Jun 2007, 19:59

yea there really isnt any tone to those dragsters. but has anyone ever heard one of these before ? take like 4 top fuel dragster motors and slap them on a sled and go roaring down the dirt track with a 60,000 lb trailer attached and see how far it pulls it. these things are so loud that when they go by your guts vibrate and your heart feels weird, it is most certainly deafening

Sounds like a General Electric AC6000.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Jun 2007, 22:40

no its way louder than a train, your ears will pop if you dont plug your ears when one of those go by

Carcrazy · Post by **Carcrazy** » 05 Jun 2007, 22:56

The best sound I could hear, would be a REAL tuner. .. not some ricer, sporting a V8 and hearing it jump the line and hear the blow off valve, i love blow-off valves... it sounds like power to me.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 06 Jun 2007, 02:28

Actually, scratch that whole comment I made. Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. MAN those things sound awesome.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 06 Jun 2007, 03:24

yea those sound cool too. i like the muscle cars that have the modified cams and they shake when they idle, the rough idle on a big block sounds awesome

Black Fire · Post by **Black Fire** » 06 Jun 2007, 03:34

I like that Porsche Carrera GT sound.

To me, lumpy idles on anything just sound broken
