For the first 12 hours, the story of those two bimbos throwing themselves in the way of a car was plastered all over the internet and news sites were clutching their pearls at yet another example of white racists using cars to disrupt protests.

Literally the moment it came out that the driver was black and the victims white, it dropped off every front page and twitter completely ceased talking about it. Any story that remains describes how "a car" hit protestors. No, a person driving a car hit those people. It wasn't some rogue self-driving car that gained sentience and elected to run people over. It goes without saying that if the driver was white and the victims black, they would not be using euphemisms to describe what happened.

I know the media always goes for the narrative but jesus this was one of the most shameless examples I've ever seen

Yeah my lady and stepdaughter only have the 3.5L but the awd is great. I have loaded them and a couple RWD onto the same trailer (parts cars are great) and the difference is night and day. My daily driver is a truck, my car is a summer only toy. Tried driving it one winter for a week when I had to and nope nope nope lol. Too much power and summer only tires are a bad combo on snowy roads.

I lucked out and got the full super track pack with all the fun instrumentation and reaction timers.

Fun! Did you at least test drive a 5.7 version at the dealership? If not you could always cruise to one and show yours off and ask to try one if you. Be warned you may feel the need down the road to do a swap to it. I’m a die hard v8 fan myself and pondering doing one, even found a ship in the states that advertised doing them starting at 7k but figure I can get a salvage car and parts swap way cheaper albeit way more work on my end.

Yeah I liked it but needed the AWD.

I wish they kept on doing 5.7 awd’a, think it was 2015 they stopped. Never advertised them much, would have been awesome to see them plentiful as used cars down the road.
