Ram And can you tow a 40-foot 2-ton boat with your 12¼-foot 975 kg front-wheel-drive Palio? LOL naveen.kk 20th October 2008
naveen.kk Yeah we are spoiled by living in a 800 - 1600cc country. Spoiled to an extent we make 150 BHP out of 1600 CC LOL..... 20th October 2008
Jayabusa That's a classic! 30th April 2008
2fast4u lovely ride - i keep tellin my wife that these are not cars its a mobile bedroom me too looking for a chevy wagon just to enjoy the presence on road. 29th April 2007
1100D 135 bhp isn't much but if u mention the rpm at which it made this power figure everyone would probably be floored by the resultant torque available 4th February 2007
sreenivass reminded me of my 1991 Mercury Sable 3.8L V6 145 BHP & 250 Ft-lb Wagon 4th November 2006
sajo And yes..you can say that I was spoilt by living in a 800-1600 country dominated by Japanese 4 cyls... :)) 28th July 2006
sajo Just a thought...your Maverick made more power from its 6cyl than the Catalina did from its V8, though just peak power might be irrelevant :). 28th July 2006
condor ah! brings memories - tried to take pics in winter, with resvr frozen. and, you can guess what happened [nothing abt the water/ice] ...;-) 23rd July 2006
ram Yes indeed condor, I took the pic at the Ashokan reservoir, New York State. It's East of the Catskill State Park. Provides water to New York City! 20th July 2006
condor Is the reservoir pic in the Caterskills ? 6th July 2006
Fiero awesome ram ... whats the engine torque ?? ... must be massive ... i agree with you bout sajo :p 17th May 2006
ram Friends, my Catalina Safari wagon is now among its siblings at http://www.classicpontiacs.com/seventies/b-bodies/1979/index.html 17th April 2006
CaliforniaKnight Man that car sure is HUGE!! 18th March 2006
hkanitkar big and beautiful - thats what it is !!! 6th February 2006
ram Large cars can tow boats & camper trailers, carry skis and bicycles. Big enough for people to make-out in! Don’t small Jap/Korean econo-boxes bore? 30th January 2006
ram How else can you tow a boat? Spoiled by living in a 800-1600cc country? 30th January 2006
sajo The 70's American cars were such a waste of cubic capacity... 4.9 L and 135 Hp.. Reminds me of the Ford V8 from the similar era (5.0L 122 Bhp). 29th January 2006
ram Biggest car I've owned -- a full-size (by American stds.) rear wheel drive station-wagon. 29th January 2006
