Talon vs X3

[SpeedBuggy]

I guess prices came down When the evo belt first came out I remember $300 a pop .View attachment 299501

Yeah, you can find them for 160. Heard they score the clutches and to use oem. New problems I didn’t have…

My experience on the dunes in my friend’s X3 is what convinced me to buy an SxS. It was really fun.

I decided on the Talon for the DCT transmission and Live Valve suspension. I can always add a turbo later (engine seems to be built with one in mind) but I believe it will be years before I can explore its full capabilities as it sits now.

Can someone please do a comparison between a corvette and a Lambo? I'm sure they are similar with just a couple differences. I'm torn, not sure which to get.

Depends on which Corvette and Lambo you’re comparing I suppose.

The upcoming C8 Z06 has a lot of the hallmarks of the typical Italian supercar: high revving, mid engine, ridiculous wail, rear wheel drive.

Both cars are available with DCTs and DOHC engines. The Lamborghini can be had with all wheel drive where as RWD is the only flavor for Vette.

Both cars DO the same thing in terms they’re impractical cars that get you from point A to point B.

The C8 Z06 is rumored to start at under 100K. For roughly triple the money, the Lamborghini is giving you the following: 2-4 more cylinders (depending on the model you choose), prestige, exclusivity, sex appeal, and being a f****** LAMBORGHINI.

THAT BEING SAID…as someone who enjoys high performance cars and the race track…I would personally choose the Corvette for the following reasons: its cheaper, LIKELY more reliable, just as fast, and did I mention its a LOT cheaper?

The Corvette is not a substitute for the Lamborghini but DAMN is it a SPECTACULAR knockoff. If money is no subject, just get a Ferrari 458 and thank me later

So really what you're saying is the only real thing they have in common is that they have an engine and 4 wheels. But they really aren't in the same class and as such to compare them is not really fare....kind of like one is an X3 the other is a talon?

at least the Talon and X3 start at a similar price point lol

Ya, only 25% difference. I guess a better example would be comparing a corvette and a camaro...

While everyone is having a hearty laugh at the Canned Ham's misfortune, my buddy cracked the sump on his Talon R.

Actually it’s at the driver’s expense.

both machines need real skid plates…….

Seen that before, they are very thin. Also watched my buddy change his oil at the track and when reinstalling the drain plug had the sump split in half. Luckily a dealer near the track had one in stock, but still...

Edit: I heard a rumor recently that someone was working on a billet version. No idea if it will actually happen though.

This guy prefers the X3. Or in this case, the XXXL3.

Do Talons have high-elevation issues with maintaining low end and torque? I have a Pioneer 700-4 but want to get into crawling/climbing sometime in the future and would need that suspension travel? Thanks!

Pioneer 700 is a 3 speed without low range.

the talon is a 6 speed with low range option…….

nothing to worry about.

What do you guys think of my new X3? Date pushed out to March now.
