2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.8L 3-Valve Engine

A quick glance at the 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty engine options reveals three potent power plants. The factory offers a 5.4L V8, a 6.8L V10, and a 6.4L turbo-diesel V8. For performance enthusiasts, the 6.8L V10 continues to provide exhilarating performance. Regardless of the success of this lineup, the selection within the truck series is about to change.

The 3-valve SOHC V10 was originally introduced in 2005. Initially, power output was rated at 310 hp and 425 lbs.-ft. torque. Over the last five years, continuous factory improvements increased maximum output to 362 hp and 457 lbs.-ft. torque. The original aluminum head design used three valves per cylinder that were actuated by a single overhead camshaft. Because of the success of the unique head design, current models continue using the same configuration.

According to factory representatives, production of the V10 power plant will be phased out later this year. The 6.2L Boss V8 will replace the legendary V10. The 6.2L Boss should produce approximately 500 hp. Perhaps the substitution is intended to regain dominance over the top-performing power plant available in the GMC 2500HD now rated at 360 hp.

The new 6.2L Boss will also be available in F-150 and F-350 series trucks. Because of the large horsepower increase, industry watchers anticipate record performance gains in all weight classes in 2011. Other 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty engine options will remain unchanged next year. For heavy industrial use and towing, the 3-valve turbo-diesel delivers a stump-pulling 650 lbs.-ft. of torque.

Truck fans across the country regret seeing the V10 vanish. Nevertheless, full factory support is assured through all applicable warranty periods. In addition, the availability of aftermarket parts guarantees continued support for years to come. As always, as one champion disappears into history, a new champion appears to regain dominance.

Cadillac SRX in Review

Cadillac SRX is a luxury crossover SUV, a combination that mates the copious hauling and seating capacity of an SUV with ride, handling, and performance traits more like that of a typical sedan. For 2010, the SRX comes standard with a 3.0 liter V6 under the hood producing a rated 265 horsepower and 223 foot-pounds of torque. A 2.8 liter turbocharged V6 that produces 300 horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque is available as an option. SRXs with the standard power-plant under the hood can be had in all wheel drive or front wheel drive, while the turbocharged package is available with AWD only. Both varieties come with a six speed automatic transmission. EPA rated fuel economy is 17 miles per gallon city and 23 MPG highway. The car seats five.

The SRX boasts a very respectable collection of standard features. Included in the base model are dual-zone automatic climate control, 18-inch alloy wheels, a power driver seat, 60/40-split-folding and reclining rear seat-backs, and a Bose sound system with eight speakers. Higher levels of trim include every luxury you can think of and some you can't, including sunroof, powered lift-gate, leather seats, heated front and rear seats, xenon headlamps, hard-drive based nav system, and a backup camera. AWD models feature a sport tuned suspension with continuous variable dampening. Another nifty touch is rain sensing windshield wipers, which automatically adjust the frequency of wiper blade sweeps in relation to the intensity of the downpour. The on board navigation system has large clear screens and operates easily with voice commands. Like most GM products, the SRX comes with OnStar service, which includes such features as roadside assistance, remote opening of the doors should you lock your keys inside, automatic contact of the authorities when a crash is detected, and a theft recovery system.

The SRX's handling is quite sporty for an SUV; it is a pleasure in the corners. The 3.0 liter package is adequate but simply does not have the oomph for acceleration performance that throws you back in your seat. The turbocharged model is one notch better in this regard.

1969 Ford Mustang 4 Speed Shifter Linkage Explained

The Ford 1969 Mustang 4 speed shifter linkage was only made for one year. The control box was completely different from the earlier 4 speed shifters Ford made. One big reason was the reverse lock out feature was in the shifter body and not the handle. Which was the reason for it's short life span, the reverse detent was a spring steel piece that was very brittle as was the main spring inside the housing. The life span of these parts was probably about 65,000 miles before failure depending on how many times the car was put in reverse. When this happened shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear without resistance became an adventure, sometime resulting in engaging in reverse while going forward.

Cars being restored today using replacements parts rarely will reach 65,000 miles or be put in reverse very much. The overall shifting of the linkage has never been a big problem, some drag racers may argue this point but for everyday driving the linkage performed well. The rods and levers are similar to the earlier Mustang and Torino style cars but with different bends. Mustang levers are longer and Torino levers are the same as the earlier models.

The 1969 4 speed shifter control box for the Ford Galaxie is basically the same but the rods and levers are different. The forward gear rods are tubular and the levers are in a tear drop shape but both have the same reverse feature and had the same problem.

All replacement parts for these shifters are available and are of equal or better in quality than the originals. Finding them can be tough, they are not available at dealers or auto part stores but are available online by at least two sources that I know of.

Plymouth GTX Was Gentleman's Muscle Car

The Plymouth GTX is often referred to as the gentleman's muscle car all due to the fact that it possesses the sleekness and the suaveness of a true gentleman. Even though muscle cars were first thought to be rugged and brute, the GTX was more of the refined class. Maintaining the same platform to that of the Belvedere, the GTX sported a much slimmer body and a rounded one as compared with its initial release that appeared to be a little body and blunt on the edges.

This muscle car was introduced in 1967 and it was considered as a performance machine with a standard 440 cubic inch V8 engine, reliability and 375 horsepower. In 1969, the Plymouth GTX was restructured from all the renovations to the intermediate Belvedere line, exhaust trumpets, a performance cam, heavy duty battery, white or red reflective stripes, a tough underpinnings, huge valve and ports and durable Torqueflite transmission.

With the Plymouth GTX, this muscle car appeared in a 2-door convertible design as well as a 2-door hardtop class. This entire look had made many people turn their heads over the sleek details of the vehicle and even when they stopped producing these cars, they were still well thought of by consumers.

An unfortunate turn marked Plymouth's staying power in 1971 due to the government's heed for lower fuel emissions in cars. A lot of muscle cars suffered during this time and it was a big reason this once popular car met its fate. Production stopped and so did the sales. After a few more years, a new breed of sleek cars was developed by Chrysler but still, the image of the GTX was not forgotten.

The Gentleman's Car still lives in each and every one of the car models at Chrysler - from the hood scoops that were immortalized by the GTX to the kind of undulated sexiness that each sedan flaunted. True to its image, the Plymouth's version of the GTX will forever stay in the hearts of many.

Mini Cooper Convertible For All Seasons

The Mini Cooper convertible, costing over 16,000 pounds on road, is a beautiful model with a 3 in 1 roof ideal for all seasons. While you get protection during the rain, you can soak up the sun during long winter rides too. It has some amazing features as well that will make it worth every pound you have paid for it.

Chassis Features

The stance of the Mini Cooper Convertible is compact, yet stable with wide front grilles and apparently broad shoulders. The clusters for the rear lights, the surrounding parts of the front headlamps, the grille and the handles of the door all have an exquisite Chrome line finish. An active roll over bar in the exterior gives an improved view of the rear. The colors are very soft on the eye too.

Mechanical Features

It has an engine that delivers high performance. The windscreen is steep so that you can enjoy the feeling of fresh air when you are driving it open. The gearbox is manual with 6 speeds. The energy used up for breaking can be reused. It also has auto start stop functionality.

Performance

The Mini Cooper Convertible can give a top speed of up to 123 miles per hour with a maximum torque of 160Nm and carbon dioxide emissions around 133 g/km. The six speed automatic transmission gives a sports mode for those who like the extra pick up in the vehicle. It has an amazing dynamic control too which constantly uses the sensors to detect in what direction you want to go depending on lateral acceleration and the steering. If the Mini is going in any other direction it applies corrections through brake pressure and adjusting torque on each of the wheels thus reducing accident probability. There are anti lock brakes too which let you stop suddenly with all stability.

Ferrari 360

Ferrari 360 is a two-seater sports car that was manufactured by Ferrari from the year 1999 till 2005. This mid-sized mid-engine car replaced the then Ferrari F355. An entirely new all-aluminum space frame chassis was built for the Ferrari 360 after it united with Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America). This gave a new look increasing the rigidity by 40% and decreasing the body weight by 28%.

The engine that was used in Ferrari 360 is the new V8 engine which was much more powerful than that used for the previous Ferrari F355. The added stiffness to Ferrari 360 improved the performance where the acceleration from 0 to 100 mph was improved from 4.6 to almost 4.4 seconds. The technology used in this engine was soon followed by the other cars that were released later. F430 used the similar V8 engine that was produced later replacing the Ferrari 360.

Based on the design of Ferrari 360, few other models were released that were the different versions of this car model. 360 Modena is one of the first models that were released at par with Ferrari 360. It is a luxury sports-coupe that consisted of a fixed-roof two door and came along with 6-speed manual transmission. Later, a convertible alternative if the Modena was released which was called the 360 Spider. Challenge Stradale is another road model of Ferrari 360 that was released inspired by the design and technology of the 360 Modena and Spider. These three car models mentioned here were the three road models that were released of Ferrari 360.Few of the factory race car models were also released based on technology used in Ferrari 360. 360 Challenge, 360 GT and 360 GT-C were three factory model cars of the 360.

Almost all of the road models contained similar specifications and layout. For example, the same V8 engine was used with the same number of cylinders in all the models. The power and torque produced remained the same in Modena and Spider but slightly varied when it came to the Challenge Stradale.

The top speed of the 360 Modena reached around 183 mph and the acceleration took about 3.9 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. The Spider though was considered as the classic sports car even when it was launched in the year 2000. Heavy design engineering was performed to get the stiffness and the performance for the Spider model. The looks of this model were also well received by the users. People say that 360 Spider looks very aggressive with its hood up but totally transforms into a neat and simple look when the hood is lowered. The design engineers took care and precision while working with its hood as it automatically folds away inside the engine bay despite the mid-mounted V8 engine that is being used by this car. The Challenge Stradale was more inspired by the racing car style and was slightly different from the Modena or the Spider model. It was purely made only for the track days.

Though the technology and design remained much similar, there are very few subtle changes between the three road models of Ferrari 360.

The Value of a Classic Car

When a classic car drives by on the road, you cannot help but to stop and admire it. They are breathtaking, unique, and coveted by many. For some people, a classic can bring back memories from their youth and for others it inspires a dream to own one of these fine cars. Classics do not come cheap and you will pay a pretty penny to own one, especially if it has been restored. So what makes a car a classic and why are they so valuable?

A classic can be defined as a car that is twenty five years or older, but this is a very vague classification for a classic. There is more to it than simply the age of the car. Older cars that were really popular during the time they were manufactured can now be classified as a classic. Old cars that are hard to find because they are rare or were limited editions are often called a classic. A lot of muscle cars, rare, and limited edition models are often classics.

The value of a classic increases as the desire to have one goes up. There is an inverse relationship between desirability and rareness and the amount of value they are worth. Limited editions are often the most valuable classic because a lot of people want them but there are few available. Some common classics that are widely available because they used to be in mass production are less valuable.

Askmen.com came up with a list of the ten most expensive classic cars. To make the list, the cars had to be at least twenty years old and had to be on the market for a "quantifiable amount." Here is the list of expensive classics and the value that was compiled by askmen.com starting with number ten.

10. 1956 Ferrari 860 Monza - Valued at $2.5 million
9. 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Spider Corsa - $2.53 million

2. 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - $16.6 million
1. 1954 Mercedes W 196 - Valued at $24 million

As you can see, these classics are worth millions of dollars. If you have a rare or limited edition car in your garage, it could be worth millions twenty years from now.

Three Classic Models of the Muscle Car Era

Classy, fast, gas guzzlers, sleek - these are the best words to describe classic cars. They possess rarity, beauty and great engineering, which is what makes these cars so captivating. In addition, they are known for their history and for the memories they evoke.

Classic cars are those that were produced as late as the 70s. They were built with speed and eye-catching designs that made them so memorable to past generations and so appealing to today's generation. You can find a lot of these models and if you are in search for a classic car to purchase, here are just some of the top choices:

AMC Rebel

AMC Rebels were smaller compared to the big three producers of muscle cars in the 70s. They had introduced the SC Rambler that was patriotic colored in conjunction with Hurst in 1969 that was packed with 315bhp for fourteen-second quarter miles. AMC Rebel was considered as the most powerful stock car that was available in the late 1950s and it continued to make an impression through the 60s.

Dodge Charger

The line-up of the 1969 Dodge Charger introduced a wide variety of models including the more magnificent Special Edition 'SE', the base model, the 2 racing editions (the 500 and Daytona) and the R/T.

The Dodge Charger was manufactured by Chrysler and since its launch, it has captured the hearts of many, especially younger males. It featured 461 horsepower and had a V8 engine, which promised a top speed performance. Although a V6 engine was made for the Dodge Charger, it was never quite as popular as the more powerful engine..

Ford Torino

The Ford motor company produced the Ford Torino from 1968 to 1976. It was described as the newest bright idea from Ford and was actually made to replace the famous Fairlane model. Ford Torino featured an all new blend of power, beauty and style. Although the Fairlane name was still used by Ford up to 1971, Ford Torino was the name used on most of the body styles and was made with all new appeal and looks for the new generation of car enthusiasts.

BMW Previews the New Generation BMW X3

BMW have released initial specifications of the second generation BMW X3 and the SUV will be officially launched at the upcoming Paris Motor Show this October 2010. The mid-sized BMW SUV keeps its same position in the BMW hierarchy by slotting in neatly between the small hatchback sized X1 and the Range Rover sized X5 SUVs. As usual, it blends in both the new X1 and X5 looks and is a familiar shape with all the latest BMW styling cues especially that new larger, nostrils err... kidney grill on its nose and the Hoffmeister kink at the C-pillars (or D-pillars since its an SUV). It looks slightly better than the previous X3 but it is still not something I would go crazy over.

So what is new with the new but very similar X3? It now boasts and extra 78mm in length (now 4648mm). It is slightly narrower, which is surprising (4mm less and now 1855mm) and 14mm taller at 1675mm. It also sports a 15mm longer wheelbase (now 2810). The rear door apertures are larger so that big people have easier access (I don't know how bad the rear access could be on the previous as the X3 wasn't exactly that tiny in the first place) and the boot, has a 70liter increase in capacity (550liters).

The interior now boasts a new dashboard, multi-function steering wheel, new seats and better trim. According to BMW, it will be on par with the BMW 3 series and they also hope that the interior will not be criticized like the earlier model. Actually, BMW needs to buck up in the interiors of their cars. Two weeks ago I sat in an X1 and i was pretty appalled by the very noticeable lack of quality in the materials used.

This second generation X3 will have a newly designed double wishbone front suspension and variable damping absorbers. The suspension system will have the BMW Dynamic Control System which also controls the throttle response, engine mapping (for power or economy) and steering response.

The new X3 will be exclusively four wheel drive, and the entry-level 181bhp, 2.0-litre manual X3 xDrive20d will offer combined economy of 50.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 149g/km. BMW will also introduce the new X3 with a 302bhp, 3.0-litre, turbocharged straight six petrol in the range topper, the X3 xDrive35i. The diesel will come standard six-speed manual gearbox or an optional ZF-engineered eight-speed automatic. The 3.0 turbo xDrive35i will get the auto as standard, allowing it to hit 62mph in 5.7sec and a 152mph top speed. It will also return a claimed 32.1mpg and emit 204g/km of CO2. Both X3s will have standard stop-start function and operate in combination with a brake energy recuperation system. The X3 will also have a new electric power steering system for extra fuel saving. This feature may rob the X3 of steering feel as most electric steering somehow does this.

Dodge Challenger 1970

The 1970 Dodge Challenger was the first generation produced of this iconic vehicle. Though it was manufactured to compete directly with the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro it was in its own right a unique vehicle that has garnered a wide variety of enthusiasts from a myriad of different demographics. The Chrysler corporation which owns Dodge had another muscle car in production that year as well, which was the Plymouth Barracuda. Both of these vehicles were considered to have the "E" body styles. Both cars were produced with a great variety of different trim and optional equipment which made them highly desirable.

While the original "pony car" the Ford Mustang was first manufactured in 1964, it took Chrysler the better part of a decade to offer the Challenger. Though it was a relatively late comer, the company designed it to be the most powerful car in its class, and many models were actually more comparable to the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird than the more affordable Mustangs and Camaros. Interesting features of the 1970 Dodge Challenger include a longer wheel base than the competitions, and an extremely refined and luxury themed interior which truly out-competed both Ford and Chevy's models.

Hardtop models were produced as one body style and were offered on the T/A (Trans Am), Challenger Six and Challenger V8 models. Only one trim package was offered as a convertible, which was the R/T or Road and Track edition. Another interesting fact to note is that the following year there would be no convertibles produced, making the '70 R/T very collectible with modern day enthusiasts. On base models there was only one engine offered, the 3.7 liter 6 cylinder with 225 cubic inches. As optional equipment the other models could come with an 5.2 liter V8, 318 cubic inch, and capable of up to 230 horsepower. There was also a 6.3 liter V8 with 383 cu. in. and 290 horsepower. Enthusiasts looking for a premium Challenger seem to prefer one of the V8 engines over any other.

R/T models were designed as the high end performance package and came with their own standard engine. These models had a 383 CID Magnum which was a V8 capable of producing up to 335 horsepower. All of the previously listed smaller engines came with a 3 speed manual transmission except for the 6.3 liter V8 which was produced with a 4 speed manual. R/T models were forced to utilize the 3 speed manual transmission due to the extreme drop in compression associated with them.

Compared with Ford's Mustang and the Chevy Camaro, similar 1970 Dodge Challenger models were either as fast or faster. This was because the manufacturer produced each comparable model with a slightly larger engine than any of the competitors. The standard equipment actually made these vehicles closer in relation to higher end models like the Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Thunderbird, although it lacks in most categories with those cars.

While they weren't heralded as much as the Mustang while in production, subsequent decades have seen the Challenger, and especially 1970 models become extremely popular. Being that they were offered with such a wide variety of body styles, colors, and engines enthusiasts find that it is relatively easy to find parts and refurbish these cars. Those factors, combined with the superb drivability make these cars some of the most iconic vehicles ever produced.

Historical Porsche 911 Turbo Overview

The production of the 911 Turbo began in 1974. The car was also called the Porsche 930 in the USA; the number 930 is in reference to the car's internal type number. In Europe, it was called the Porsche Turbo 911. One of the most distinctive features of the 911 Turbo is its wide wheel arches, so done to house the wide tires. The car also has a unique rear spoiler; it was called the whale tail on the early models and the tea tray on the latter cars.

The Porsche 930 developed a reputation for absolute acceleration, and difficult handling and drag. The first models came with a 3 liter engine spitting out 256 BHP. In the late 1976, a racing version of the Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced, called the Porsche 934. It became a favorite of many competitors in Le Mans and other races due to its power and handling.

The 1989 911 Turbo (930) was the only model to feature a 5 speed gearbox.

Porsche 964 Turbo (1990 - 1993)

In 1990 Porsche launched a Turbo version of the 964 series. For the 1991 and 1992 model years it used a 3.3 liter engine, similar to the one used on the Porsche 930, the engine provided 320 PS. Porsche then introduced the Carrera 2 and 4 in 1993, with a 3.6 liter engine and a 360 PS to the rear wheels.

Today the 964 Turbo is rear commodity; it was eventually superseded by the Porsche 993 Turbo (1995 - 1998).

Porsche 993 Turbo (1995-1998)

In 1995 Porsche launched a Turbo version of the Porsche 993. It was revolutionary in more ways than one; the 993 Turbo was the first standard Porsche to use twin exhaust turbochargers and the first 911 Turbo to have permanent all wheel drive. [Side Note: If you wanted to remove the AWD, you would have to refer to the more powerful and race homologated GT2 or another option is to remove the drive shaft leading to the front differential].

It was 1997 and Porsche decided to introduce a limited run of 200 units of the Porsche 993 911 Turbo S; the Turbo S delivered an even higher performance. The new car had a few additions as well, among these are an additional 24 PS (17.7 kW), this was over the regular Turbo 400 PS (294kW) and modifications to the car's body.

The Porsche 993 Turbo still command a premium price, due mainly to its reliability, raw power, and the fact that it is the last air cooled 911 Turbo cars.

Porsche 996 Turbo (2000 - 2004)

In the year 2000, Porsche introduced the 966 Turbo, which is as the name suggests a turbo version of the Porsche 966. It was equipped with standard four wheel drive and a 3.6 liter engine, which was derived from the 911 GT1 engine. It also came with twin turbocharged and inter-cooled producing a whopping 415 BHP (309 kW), which meant the car could go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. In 2002 the 996 Turbo received an upgrade known as X50 or Turbo S, this increased the car power to 444 hp (336 kW). The 996 Turbo also had air vents in the front and rear bumpers.

Porsche 997 Turbo, 997 GT3 (2006 - Now)

The 997 GT3 or 997 Turbo debuted in 2006, and like previous models it gave Porsche the opportunity to homologate aerodynamic features for racing, and add a model for customer racing. The car used the same 3.6 liter engine as the Porsche 996 Turbo, but with the exception that it had more power; 480 PS. It gets from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds (using Tiptronic Transmission). The Porsche 997 Turbo is more driver friendly relative to its predecessor.
