My Stereo System is (Officially) Getting Replaced
for an amp... would an alpine 4x40W or 2x40w and 1 x100w (retail $200) work for you? i think they make a 4x50W also.... USB equiped h/u look very tempting lol... hope pioneer comes out w/ one next year, only bad thing i've heard about the jvc is how the usb controls work, takes a while to understand it's file system browser...

TTAC Reviews Impala LS
our family had an 06 ls for acouple days when a car was getting repaired... my own take... just somethings i noticed driving it for maybe 40 mins total. 3.5 is gutless in 4th at 55mph... yes i know, what do i expect, it was turning maybe 1500rpms... just the shift into 3rd seemed so abrupt (on back road highways that are hilly). acceleration is "brisk" though when you're on at least 1/2 throttle from a stop. maybe the 3.9 would help w/ my first comment. i'm not really used to such firm cloth seats...prolly not so bad on long drives... just something one would have to get used to or break in really quickly lol i do wish gm would start to seperate the computer menus from the stereos... so it wouldn't be such a pain for aftermarket installs. overall quality seemed good.

My Stereo System is (Officially) Getting Replaced
i love my polk db speakers in my monte, 5 1/4 front and 6 1/2 in back, well rounded and not harsh highs cause of the silk domes. as far as h/u goes... whatever, if it meets your needs and prolly has a decent pre-out V . w/ a pioneer though, i like the built in x-overs hi and low. the 4xxx model that's new...? not familiar w/ amps really, or at least installing them. have fun.

G6 on Epsilon 2 in 08
for subjectable things like not confirmed rumors, and biographies, yes, wikipedia can be kinda lame about that. i'd only use for stuff that's been out for a while and mostly just material things that have facts, did a report that included facts for beta and vhs, it was useful for that stuff. on a side not, do we have anything more than prolly 2010 for EP2 to roll out?

New NG CTS Pic

GMC minivan??
if it's going to try to replace the safari, RWD and AWD are musts... maybe a slightly stretched version would give, maybe more room inside than the safari had. if the chevy and gmc are really good, - cause i love the lambdas ( the saturn the least, easily lol) - then that's fine, but i bet most of the market won't be interested in them (minivans) outside DCX, yota, and nissan by 2009. but if this is real, time allways tells

Japan's finest tests Miata vs Solstice
cool, that'd be a great way to keep up demand after it slows down here. hopefully they'll test the gxp also and it'll be on YT. jokingly, think saturn will come out w/ a sky GL? lol

VUE GLs in Mild and Strong
unless the fwd's dual modes are 6 speeds, i thought they were just 4speeds..? but even a 3.6L w/ the dual mode sounds fun lol maybe they'll upgrade the bas' 2.4L maybe have a mid v6 w/ the 2 mode.. or something else....?as long as GM makes money on it, more options are allways great.

Stem Cell Research Breakthrough
just something to add... science has proven that a "human has...(looked up) 23 pairs of chromosomes" right? ( other than some deseases from more or less) so a zygote (fertilized egg) is a human, be it in a lab or where it's supposed to happen, and should be treated as such. ok, "stem cell research" is way to broad. we can get them [stem cells] from other things too, like the placenta among others. we don't need to be doing stem cell research on fertilized eggs. why do we need to have egg and sperm banks? (seriously) come on.... now, not that i wouldn't mind getting paid for mine edit, fix the chromosomes comment

Future of GM Powertrains
i thought diesels were 30%, turboed 33%... the best they've done is 40% w/ methanol (turboed) and a compresion ratio of 19.5 : 1 i'll try to find a link later. not sure what they estimate gas at... maybe ~25%?
