And they will not win a top fuel drag race.
Just saying that these guys are car guys. They are getting the best out of what they like. It may not be for everyone but I give them credit for doing it.


Any engine is subject to failure when pushed.
These guys are no different than the WW2 guys that started the Hot Rod deal. They have a never ending supply of wrecked cars in the junkyards. Motors can be had for next to nothing and engine swaps are the same for everyone.

I had a 2010 STi with nothing but bolt-on parts and a tune by Harvey at BoostCreep. I got Killer-B headers & Spoolinator plus the usual pieces. I put quite a bit of effort into the suspension and brakes, got good rubber, etc. I wanted a driveable car with throttle response. Even without a hard launch, it was a mid-11s car that would top out over 160. Great handling and brakes that would yank fillings out of your teeth. And compared to the fast cars in the Denver area, it was slow. GT-Rs could chew it up and spit it out. Etc. Street cars these days are unbelievable.

I helped a friend build a Willy's kit car with tubular frame, fiberglass body and a supercharged hemi. With street car rubber, on a sticky day it was a low 9s car. That's some serious acceleration for a streetable car but still, it's not the fastest ride on the road. Amazing. Then look what a fast street bike can do.

OK, I gotta question: is the Hellcat everything its cracked up to be? I was thinking I want one of the last Hellcat Durangos. My dog's ears and jowls need to flop fast from the passengers seat. He has needs.
I have a stock 2016 hellcat. Fastest car I’ve ever driven and a blast to drive. I do not claim to be a professional driver. Just a guy who likes cars. Also have an 03 z06 and it’s nothing even close to that hellcat. Had a 71 challenger 440 R/T auto. That was fun too but isn’t in the same ballpark as that hellcat. Maybe look at the track hawk??? Jeep Cherokee with hellcat motor and AWD. Your dogs face would turn inside out 😎
 
Keep paying attention you’ll feel a tire that has 1 psi difference that the others.

That “corner” of the car will feel like a marshmallow
I wouldn't say I'm that good 😆

I can definitely tell when ones low but looks normal though. I call it "driving on grease" best way to explain it .

Ah... all these modern cars don't impress me. Try going way too fast, way too quickly in a 3500 pound metal box with all drum brakes, a non power single line master cylinder, no seat belts and a steering wheel shaped like a fucking spear! ;) :D

That has chest trauma written all over it……
 
Do you remember all those drivers ed movies? Blood on the highway and other splat films? Cuz those oldies were the feature.

No they don't replace displacement. A 200 cubic inch ricer on 25 pounds of boost is nothing compared to a 500 inch V8 on 25 pounds of boost. Those ricers also do not produce any where near the torque a big inch V8 does. The upside to running a ricer is weight of the drive train, smaller tires so less rotating mass and usually the ricer cars are shit boxes weighing about 1500 pounds. If those ricer engines were they way to go everyone from Pro Mod up would be running them instead of 500 inch Hemis.

Bigger is always better.

No one said they were the way to go, and no bigger displacement engines aren’t always better...every motor sport would have huge displacement engines if that were the case.
 
Nothing in an evacuation order says you have to take your cars with you. Nothing in any auto insurance policy excludes storm damage from the comprehensive coverage. The house might not be covered but the cars will be and those two cars are worth more than a lot of houses.

sorry, gotta ask. Why didn't the people with expensive boats just sail them to Louisiana?

Imagine the kind of guy that spends DAYS during working hours arguing over cars on the tits and ass subform of snipershide. View attachment 7983482
He's having more fun than you obviously.

Imagine the kind of guy who goes out of his way at midnight to complain when he rarely posts in general.

Probably looks like he sucks a lot of dick with his asshole.

There's dozens of us on here all random hours of the day and night. Also you get alerts when people reply moron if you aren't busy you stop and shit talk....easy.

Besides we were talking normal shit, guy comes in full retard I'm not going to ignore it that's an opportunity. Fuckers have constantly argued on here for years they just bitch when it isn't them doing it.
