Quote HistoryQuoted:
There's always a lot of folks on the Internetdom that claim, "if this existed, I'd buy it today!" but never do. At first, I used to think there was something to these comments; maybe manufacturers aren't actually listening to their customer base, but any time a company (like many have done a few times) steps out to fill that supposed void, nobody buys. So the units languish on the lot, the guy who swore up and down they'd sell like crazy gets demoted/fired, and its' back to business as usual. Over time I came to realize that by and large the market research shows what people want; CUVs, widgets, MPG. Perhaps if that mythical group of buyers put their money where their mouth is, these sorts of things wouldn't continually happen. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'd like to see two speed rear ends on heavy duty pickups. Something like 311 and 410 or maybe even 311 and 430. Would be great for mileage. I can't be the only person who ever thought of that. |

My Fleetwood motor home had a inline electronically activated over drive. Was like 408 to 490. With OD on that LS-6 454 would be hitting redline about 80MPH I recall back in the day reading about some corvette a guy had modified to hit 200 mph. One feature was a two speed overdrive, I believe it mounted to the tail shaft of the transmission. I agree with the original premise that a two speed selectable overdrive as part of the rear differential would be kick ass. Could really help out with highway fuel mileage when not towing. |

Most new transmissions have two overdrive gears. That's not really as interesting as a two speed rear end IMO. You have an 8 speed auto transmission? Now it's a 16 speed. Seems the computer could always find the perfect gear for the conditions. |

A basic Wrangler with a V8 and basically nothing else. No backup cameras, no TPI sensors, none of that bullshit. If anything, some engine/tranny instrumentation to my liking. Basically all the reasons I own a Wrangler in the first place, with none of the crap that makes vehicles stupidly expensive these days.

I am in talks with the CEO of the company that makes the Wombat. It is a VW beetle kit. In the PI, Beetles in good condition run between 1000 USD to 1500 USD, plus 5K for the kit, a few K for prep, add another 3-6K for customs and shipping. I'm hooked up with the local VW club, and have a source for a performance engine and transaxle, as well as the other assorted parts. Probably going to be around 20K all told, with all the Customs fees. (Customs is NOT my favorite branch of the Philippine government) Probably knock half the price off if building in the States.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
the only problem I have with electronics on cars these days is there are a lot of them that tend to be intrusive or nanny like. For instance, on jeep wrangler JK's you can't completely disable traction control without custom programming. Almost all cars have a gay message that pops up on the nav, none of them let you put addresses in while driving....my absolute pet peeve is the dashpot features they have put on modern electronic throttle bodies to prevent them from slamming shut for emissions purposes. throttle response is a dead thing in most cars, just trying to hold at a constant rpm is fucking aggravating on one. you can mitigate it with custom programming but that costs money and you shouldnt have to in the first place. I'm primarily referring to those who bitch about having to get power windows, or nav, etc. Fucking cranky old Luddites. |

Take a Ram longbed manual transmission 4x4 like the one I had to sell:
And give it the same power as the Asin automatic (or more  ) and a RoadRanger double OD 13spd transmission and an Atlas2 transufer case, with the stoutest u-joints they can find. Thats it. I just want to tow whatever will hook to it, and when empty get 35mpg.

A Silverado crew cab with curved wheel wells, good paint on the frame instead of wax, a 6.2L without AFM or direct injection, and a convertible hard top.
A Tahoe with all of the above would also be cool. But with today's crash/rollover standards, it might need a roll cage. |
