When talking about rotor weight differences of about 7-8 pounds between these makes how much does that really affect performance? Four wheels equals 28-32 total car weight pounds that must be accelerated and decelerated - a relatively small weight difference that equals having about 5 gallons...

Converting the plus or minus values...easier for me to compare an alignment printout. I doubled checked my math. Don't know why my document tabbing to align the values didn't translate to the forum post. SRT Front Tolerances Total Toe 0.0 to 0.40 Left Caster 7.3 to 9.3 Right...

Military helicopter - thousands of moving parts all supplied by the lowest bidder.

Unless your 2015 Hellcat is not covered by Technical Service Bulletin 08-084-22, you should only be charged for the 3 keys (buying, or "programming") IF you're buying new fobs to go with the RF hub lockout software change. I went round and round last fall because last summer a dealership had...

DGatzby, From the article you quoted; ”In addition to addressing braking, shifting and handling, Can had to find a way to get the supercharger on the Hellcat engine to endure the rigors of road racing. For street use or a quarter-mile blast, which goes by in 11.2 seconds, according to Dodge...

Was that the deal from the Nigerian prince who needed money so he could get his inheritance? I got in on that early and made a killing! Ohhhh, yeah!

I got my second offer in the mail yesterday to drive from Northern Kentucky to Detroit in my 2019 Red Eye so some testing outfit for the EPA can keep it for 5-6 weeks and do emissions testing on it. They'll put about 100 miles on it on a dynamometer replicating various driving conditions. I...

I have a buddy who sends me bat-shit crazy videos of people getting arrested for...crazy behavior. Police body cams telling the tale just how bad it is getting "out there".

It's a Zombie Apocalypse that happens in Acapulco! Good catch!

Could come in handy when the Zombie Acapolypse happens.

There is a wide radius turn at NCM that I've driven at 90-95 mph. The track is wide there and some grass on both sides. Another hellcat driver spun out there, but fortunately didn't go off into the weeds. It's really fun, but I admit feels right on the edge of losing it every time!

Ran away from those 'vettes!

Thanks for the reply, Speedy, and the other comments.

Trackday, really enjoyed watching you and your son on that track. Every corner has its challenges, but going around the second turn after the long straight at 130 plus mph - that perception of so much speed poised on the brink of maximum tire friction - and what might happen if you broke...

Yep, rolling brown outs. And just wait until the next drought or forest fire cuts electrical power.

Point me in the right direction if there is a thread on this already... Background to my question - the Demon 170's engine (I read, don't know much about HP and engine mods) senses both octane and percentage of ethanol and adjusts for the maximum safe power whatever mix of fuels is happening...

Updating this thread...Just watched Racer X's latest video on how often - and brazenly in broad daylight - our cars are being stolen. Carjacked, carted off with a truck lifting the rear end, broken into and put into neutral and pushed away, or the key fob code simply read right from the car's...

I try and identify the "value point" in any product's line up, whether within a brand's offerings or comparing brands. It takes effort, but unless you're made of money and don't care it is worth it. Take a look at the top model and decide if you really need all the features. Usually I don't...

Bull wrote: "I could easily make things last MUCH longer, but nobody was ever willing to pay for it." There are a lot of things some people would be willing to pay for - if they understood there was an option. I once asked a home builder why they didn't use stainless steel nails and screws on...

The video said only one other car, a race car, had a two speed transmission. Loved the ice cream truck video Jroyk posted - that's exactly the mind-numbling repeating kind of EV sound I had in mind as never wanting to hear on any EV, much less a "muscle" car. Given the instantaneous torque...
