    Ford Escape vs RAV4 bs CX5

    The dealership I went to adds in their "maintenance package" additional two years of oil changes and tire rotations for $700. Seems quite a bit expensive for me to justify, would likely tell them to get rid of that

    Ford Escape vs RAV4 bs CX5

    The hybrid isn't worth the extra tenth 0-60. I would be all in on the se 2.0 at 24k. And I am aware of the crash ratings and safety features on the rav. They have a used 2017xle on the lot with 1k miles and the internet price of 21 or 22k. Sticker on that is like 28500. Still undecided

    What did you pay for the se with 2.0 if you don't mind me asking?

    Ford Escape vs RAV4 bs CX5

    I drove the Escape 1.5 today, felt nice. Strangely enough it felt quicker than the RAV4, but on paper it's quite a bit slower. I want to drive the 2.0eco, but the only model I could afford is the SE and it's hard to find them with the 2.0. I personally liked the interior and seats better in the...

    Ford Escape vs RAV4 bs CX5

    Read some stories about some of the previous models stalling out and some models rusting. These are the two things keeping me hesitant to buy the escApe, especially since everyone says Ford is no help when they start rusting

    Ford Escape vs RAV4 bs CX5

    All would be 2017s. Curious if anyone here seems to have an opinion on any of the three. Looks like the RAV4 is a boring drive and interior doesn't seem as authentic as the Escape. The Escape has better reviews than the RAV, and the cx5 has the best but I don't know squat about mazdas. If we got...

    Driver mod + gears = ???

    Over a one second drop in ET. Previous best was a 12.89@112mph. New best is an 11.80@118mph. Only been to the track twice on the new setup, there is definitely more in it. Best 60' is 1.74, old best was a 1.88. With a linelock I should easily dip into the 1.6x and possibly into the 11.60's...

    Bolt-on C5 vs Lingenfelter C6

    Rolled up on a Lingenfelter C6 with widened rear fender flares, deep dish wheels, aftermarket hood, and big LINGENFELTER sticker on the back bumper. He had exhaust too. He wanted to play cat and mouse for a while with his top off and I am sure he heat soaked his blower. Finally for a run in...

    Bolt on C5 vs. Bolt on TA

    Both cars have bolt ons... TA has been as fasts as 11.7x@117mph, stock internals, with a faceplated trans. My car traps 111-112 (on street tires)with a really screwed second gear synchro. It's holding me back probably 2-3mph. 98TADRIVER vs Slowtealz28- Video

    Bolt on C5Z goes 10's, yes I said C5

    This is a buddy of mines car, it's a 2004 Z06. This guy can drive his ass off. His car bone stock started out as a 13.2@109mph car. Over the course of two and a half years or so he got it down to [email protected]. We all finally convinced him to get some mods to see what he could do with them...

    87 LX 5.0, worth a grand? Need help quick

    My mechanic has a 87 LX 5.0 mustang with an automatic trans and a shift kit. Other than that, the car appears to be bone stock. It has a new battery, but a ?fuel selenoid switch? causes the battery to drain. If you charge the battery up it cranks right over and idles fine. The windshield...
