Break faster?

plenty of dinan tuned f10's running around without issue, so doubtful.

I know it's hard to believe, but my mother's 2015 x5 has been more reliable than my mustang and my fathers 2016 F150 platinum, which currently has the famous case of "wacky wipers" found on ever so many fords since the 90's.

That's not to say I'd want to try and work on this myself outside warranty either, but I don't think it's going to just explode. It's not Italian...

its just crazy to me how fast cars are getting. I know it has been going on for several years. to some extent I wonder if the never ending need to get better numbers will make the cars less fun on the street. still very impressive to me. I wonder how much faster we will see cars get to 100mph or even 130mph? i think the 0-60 metric has been made much less relevant over the last few years with the power and speed these cars have know.

I remember in 2008 my dad got a 911 turbo I found it so amazing it would do 60 in under 4 seconds and it ran hight 11's now those numbers are rather pedestrian.

I'll probably get yelled at for saying this but I honestly thing the early 2000's were a comfy time in many ways including performance. I don't think most people need (or can handle) 12-14 second cars for daily use.

I don't get all the Hellcat hate. Why would someone in a $60-65K Dodge care about potentially losing to a brand new $100K+ BMW? I get that anybody buying a Hellcat definitely cares about performance and being fast, but at the end of the day, they go home in a car that costs half the price, is still nice by any standard, and didn't lose that bad to begin with. Plus they have a car that won't nickel and dime them to death if they choose to keep it to 150-200K.

I don't know, I'm just saying; give me a Hellcat and some stickier than stock tires (hell, ET Streets for all I care) and I'd love to meet this M5.

600hp @ 4200lbs+ and trapping 129 with awd?? I wont be surprised if this things puts down 600+ to the wheels. Gotta be seriously underrated.

I see it running 9’s with basic bolt ons. Unreal.

oh im sorry, i thought this was SVTP, where any 4/5/6/7/8/9/10 second street car is slow and unimpressive. if a 9 second 18 5.0 with an off the shelf blower is a yawn, then a 10 second lawyer mobile is even less so.

What I'm saying is, the "muh 707hp" meme doesn't hold weight when all they do is smoke tires. It's like the "1000hp 11 second" supra meme from years ago.

And yes, when you "modify" the car from it's factory specification, of course performance will improve. Although I don't think it's going to cut 10.8's on an un-prepped surface.


That was the "typical M3 driver", get your top gear skits correct.

It's also not gonna cut 10.8's with AWD disabled, which would actually make this comparison apples to apples.

All I'm saying is I don't understand why a Hellcat was even brought into this conversation. I still don't see the issue with throwing a proper tire on an otherwise stock car.

Aside from the P90D I can't think of anything American that is even in this realm of straight line performance which is why I bring it up. The minute I read 1/4 mile in 10.9 seconds I thought "wasn't that a tenth off the official NHRA certified time of the Hellcat when it launched in 2015?"

The new Widebody Hellcats come with OEM rear 305 Pirellis and Dodge says it will do the 1/4 in 10.9 sec.
