Serious performance starts with a honking 6.2-liter V8 wedged between the CTS-V's front wheels in place of the V6 engines used in the standard CTS models. Yet this V8 isn't a dual-overhead cam engine like those found in Cadillac's other sedans. It's a supercharged version of the muscular cam-in-block V8s that power the Chevrolet Corvette sports cars, applying a host of refinements in materials and control technology.( HOWARD WILNER performance cars)
WILNER HOWARD ultra-high-performance CTS-V
HOWARD WILNER => This is my first 1975 Porsche 914 2.0. I was lucky enough to find one that had been very well taken care of. I am the fourth owner, and have records going back to the original order for the car. It has a special order paint called Zambezi Green. After extensive work by the previous owner, I have the pleasure to enjoy an amazing Porsche.The car was modified for auto-cross and road racing with a six point roll cage; fully adjustable suspension; a 930 transmission; Panasport lightweight wheels; equal length headers with Supertrapp muffler; performance grind cam with solid lifters; dual oil coolers; msd ignition
In many cases, as HowardWilner found out with the F-250 and GM discovered with the Volt, it can take the most subtle tweaks to yield big savings. European makers, put tremendous work into the styling of their sideview mirrors, for example. And the payoff is extensive - not just in terms of aero-derived fuel economy improvements, but also with sharp reductions in wind noise and improved performance.

The 2009 Lincoln MKS's distinctive styling sets it apart from its close kin. The MKS is the first production Lincoln to use the division's new grille design, which the company previewed on the MKS and MKT auto show concept vehicles. The winged design reaches back to Edsel Ford's 1941 Continental and gives the newest Lincoln a welcome bit of character that's grounded in something other than a designer's imagination. Inside, the MKS�s combination of clean lines, luxurious materials, and lighter trim colors plants it squarely in the Lexus idiom of luxury, instead of the darker, more somber German sphere
Acura's price leader, the TSX sedan got a complete redo for '09, with a new look and more torque. Some of you might judge its styling too generic to distinguish this near-luxury car from its cheaper cousins at Honda.

Traction control 2009 Volkswagen Routan and electronic stability control will be standard. Seventeen-inch tires will be standard. Volkswagen says it has tuned the Routan for European ride and handling characteristics. The engine choices will come from Chrysler. The base engine will be a 197-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 and the top-line engine will be a 253-hp 4.0-liter V6. VW will not use the 3.3-liter V6 that Chrysler uses as its base engine. Both engines will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy numbers have not been released, but we expect 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway for the Routan, just like its Chrysler counterparts.
Very lucky to have found this MG and can you believe it; "in my own local". I am the third owner and I have the original paper work on the MG. I previously had a Midget 1978 and have always regretted selling it. Now I have a B and will never ever sell. My nine year old son also says he will never sell it.
HOWARD WILNER with 2000rpm and 100kph
HOWARD Wilner netWork => These are great cars. They can take a beating and never break down. The engines are a great motor with good torque, but they suffer at high speed. eg at 100kph you are pulling 3000 rpm, hence the shocking fuel economy. Even when driven easy, it still will never get over 375km to 50 litres of petrol.
Nissan will finally bring the GT-R to the United States as a 2009 model starting in June 2008. The Skyline name has been dropped (now used by Japanese home market versions of the Infiniti G35 sedan and G37 coupe). A 2+2 coupe, the 2009 Nissan GT-R is based on a new platform Nissan calls PM for Prime Midship. Nissan says PM is an advanced version of the Front Midship (FM) architecture that is home to the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G37 coupe, among others. Like FM, PM aims for balanced weight distribution by moving the engine back so most of its weight is behind the front axle. The GT-R rides on a 109.4-inch wheelbase.( HOWARD WILNER chrome-ringed fog lights and more)

Long anticipated by fans of Audi's S-Line performance cars and by driving enthusiasts in general, the 2009 Audi TTS will finally reach U.S. showrooms by the end of the year. This will be the first S model for Audi's sports car since the TT was launched in 1998, and at first blush the raw horsepower numbers might disappoint some. The power increase from standard TT models is not as significant as that in other S-Line cars. Yet indicators suggest that the speed and response S buyers expect are here, and thanks to the TTS's light weight, efficient transmission and relatively small turbocharged engine, fuel mileage figures should be impressive. We might think of the TTS as a true high-performance sports car with a green conscience.

Bottom line? When the engine's output is certified, Howard Wilner expects at least 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. That will make this V8 the most powerful engine Cadillac has offered in its 106-year history. More significantly, it will deliver at least 99 horsepower more than any of the CTS-V 's competitors, including the Audi RS4, BMW M3, Lexus IS F and Mercedes C63 AMG.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG features a 6.3-liter V8 that makes 451 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The all-aluminum 32-valve V8 has variable valve timing and a variable intake manifold. Mercedes says it can rev freely over 7000 rpm. The engine sends its power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually via the gearshift or steering wheel paddles. The transmission has a rev-matching feature that blips the throttle on downshifts. Mercedes says the C63 will be capable of a 4.3-second 0-60 mph sprint.

HOWARD Wilner review cars => Fine. We have grown used to the fact that nearly every new generation of a vehicle is bigger and heavier than the last generation. What we aren't much used to is that the 2009 TSX still has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, but horsepower is actually down from 205 to 201. Not a big deal, but any decline in horsepower in a new model is, well, odd. Still, torque -- that's the measure of pulling power -- is up slightly, so you won't notice the reduced horsepower.
It proves that drivers will change their behavior in response to high fuel prices. And even if Detroit doesn�t buy global warming, drivers can help persuade it to embrace fuel efficiency. They don�t even have to know that the Honda Civic emits less than half the 13 tons of greenhouse gases spewed by the Ford F-150.
HOWARD WILNER says - V8 music and muscle is a dream
Introduced at Detroit's North American International Auto show in January 2008, the ultra-high-performance CTS-V is the latest creation from Cadillac's Spec-V performance group, which was launched to develop sporting luxury cars to compete with imports such as BMW's M cars, Lexus's new F series products, and Mercedes-Benz's AMG line. The CTS-V is based on the all-new Cadillac CTS sedan, which debuted in the fall of 2007 to critical praise from many quarters.
I've owned lots of MoPar muscle through the years, as well a a couple of AMC AMXs, both of which I still own and love. But without a doubt, this car beats them all by far in terms of overall performance. And it goes quite a ways on it's 13 gallon tank! The fun factor is off the scale! My GLHS is a permanent member of my stable! Best car I've ever owned.( HOWARD WILNER at the North American International Auto show)

I own a 96 XLT. It has power windows, locks, cruise, 4wheel ABS, power lumbar, cd, tilt, etc. It's a step below the eddie bauer, I'm simply missing the leather and compass/ garage bin mounted on the headliner.I have yet to experience any negatives with my ride. It has the 5.8 windsor, excellent for offroading and towing. And I only average a few miles less than the good ole 5.0.Recently it has been averaging about 16mpg in town and close to 20+ on the freeway. It is currently running on 32inch BFG Mud Terrains which in my opinion are the only tire you should run on this rig, but that is only my opinion.

Better Handling than a G35 Coupe I speak from experience because I used to own one for 2 years. The versatility of a Hatchback and SUV. One of the most superior AWD systems on the market. I've tried to derail this vehicle while trying to corner in the rain and its unbelievable that a vehicle can do the things it does. Easily handle speeds in excess of 100MPH, this vehicle just inspires confidence in the wet or dry. Doesn't get as dirty from daily driving due to its elevated stance. Technology package is a must and this vehicle is a keeper. You'll never touch your car keys again, just open the door and start your beastly engine.

The electronic stability control has three modes, ESP On, ESP Sport, and ESP Off. The sport mode allows for higher thresholds of wheel slip and drift angles, and the off mode turns the stability program off altogether. An available Performance Package adds a limited-slip differential, even stiffer suspension settings, two-piece perforated and ventilated front disc brakes, and an AMG steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather. The C63's exterior gets several modifications. It has a unique dual power dome hood, a front fascia with larger air intakes and side air outlets, chrome-ringed fog lights, a rear apron with a black air diffuser, a rear lip spoiler, and a pair of twin tailpipes.

Audi's win at Le Mans with a diesel car fit in nicely with many automakers' evident decision to make clean diesel-powered cars the temporary fix for the U.S. energy crisis.
Equipped with a fuel efficient 4.0L SOHC V6 engine, the Ranger can produce up to 207 horsepower. The pickup can tow around 6,000-lb and has a payload of about 5,470-lb. The 5-speed manual transmission gives drivers ultimate control over the power and speed. All-terrain tires are available for those that do a lot of off-roading or driving in inclement weather. Heavy-duty shocks and sport bucket seats are also available. Dual-stage airbags provide superior protection to the standard airbag. Also, Ford provides its buyers with 24-hour roadside assistance in the event of engine malfunction or a simple flat tire.( HOWARD WILNER V12 monsters)
HOWARD WILNER the Hybrid blows all other comparables away
HOWARD WILNER horse power and style => The cargo area is small, but it's a small SUV. However, the cargo floor is absolutely flat, and I wish it were more recessed. It seems there is some wasted cubic space there, but this is just my personal preference. I also know there are some aftermarket trays you can use after removing the flat cargo board.
In the last 17 years, no vehicle in America outsold the Ford F-150 on a monthly or yearly basis�not once. In May of this year, however, Honda moved more Civics and Accords and Toyota more Corollas and Camrys than Ford�s best-seller. This shift has less to do with a change in Americans� vehicular preferences than the fact that trucks guzzle fuel, the cost of which has doubled in the last three years.

HOWARD WILNER V12 monsters => The Forester 2.5XT is where the major changes start to occur. The standard boxer engine is turbocharged and produces up to 224 horsepower. That's quite a boost from the 2.5X trim. The XT also gets a telescoping steering wheel. This steering wheel can retract and extend to allow for a more comfortable driving experience. The pedals are covered in aluminum alloy as well. The XT has an audio upgrade, too, with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer. The highest trim, the 2.5XT Limited, gives buyers the turbocharged boxer engine and the vehicle dynamics control provides superior traction and brake control. Also, an upgrade to Bluetooth capability can be added to the XT Limited trim.
At some point in our recent automotive history, all wheel-drive (AWD) replaced front wheel-drive as the paranoid consumer's drivetrain of choice. The safety advantages of high quality snow tires (as needed) and a low center of gravity (in all cases) got lost in translation. Ready to capitalize on the AWD's popularity: the economy-oriented Toyota Matrix and the Subaru Impreza. Both diminutive scramblers aren't nearly as cheap or efficient as their front-wheel-drive cousins, and they won't off-road, tow a boat or carry seven passengers. Still, both cars offer a [potential] extra safety margin and [potentially] better handling. So if you had to choose one( HOWARD WILNER V8 monsters)
