    Liquid Assets and Expensive Car Purchase

    This is technically true if you have good credit, can secure a low interest rate and you are good at managing your investments but personally I am anti debt. Op personally i would pay cash for whatever you purchase. You will always make a better financial decision when you gotta write that...

    Broken down '16 Powerstroke...Friday 13th hard luck

    This I agree with. The 6.4's and 6.7's are power monsters but come with all the issues too. I loved the 6.4 trucks but man are they expensive and a PITA to fix.

    Broken down '16 Powerstroke...Friday 13th hard luck

    I wouldn't go so far as to say 0 power. It's pretty easy to make good power with a 7.3 truck but to each his own. I was a powerstroke tech for almost 10 years. .Worked on a ton of 7.3's, 6.4's, 6.0's and 6.7's and personally I would take a 7.3 all day over a 6.0. Have you driven a turned up...

    Broken down '16 Powerstroke...Friday 13th hard luck

    There's always old faithful, the 7.3 powerstroke. The 6.0's have a ton of issues people tend to overlook. Cracked heads lifted heads high pressure oil system leaks hpop failures ficm failures injector failures vgt sticking and the obvious egr stuff I've seen quite a few "Bulletproofed" 6.0's...

    GT500 vs GT350

    I would take a trinity car if it were me. The 350s are fun to drive but the power is a bit anemic and high strung for my taste. Id immediately have to slap a blower or a set of turbos on one which is another 10-15k. Of course i probably wouldnt leave a gt500 stock but they are cheaper to mod.

    Jeep Wranglers......

    I was always a big V8 fast car guy. Never ever thought I would own a jeep. Couple years ago I sold a couple of my four wheelers and was looking for a new toy to play off road. I had narrowed it down to either a sxs, bronco or jeep. Ended up in a TJ rubicon and have never looked back. I...

    Budget Performance Sedan

    300 srt isnt a bad choice. Only a couple issues i know of with them is the fake carbon fiber stuff on the dash likes to peel up on pretty much all of them and the motors are really weak if you ever plan to boost it.

    What will the 2018 Dodge SRT Demon beat in a drag race? Cars costing 10 times as much, that's what

    Love the new dodges and the demon but man is that car ****ing ugly. They took what was a good looking car (the challenger hellcat) and completely screwed it up.

    Warning to out of state buyers

    You should have paid the ticket. You were in the vehicle when it was issues, it was your responsibility to know the law. As far as the alternator and axle. You bought a 13+ year old modified car and i doubt the seller had used his crystal ball to know the alternator was about to fail. Tob...

    What will the 2018 Dodge SRT Demon beat in a drag race? Cars costing 10 times as much, that's what

    As far as replicating the feel of the car the same could be said for the demon. Also, there are a lot of 9 or lower coyote cars vs gt350 killers because drag racing is super popular in the us. It just is what it is. You're seriously down playing what dodge did here though and how hard it...

    What will the 2018 Dodge SRT Demon beat in a drag race? Cars costing 10 times as much, that's what

    This. Getting even a hellcat to go 9.65 isn't as easy as 200gt4.6 thinks nor do i think he really understands the cost to modify a car properly if you're paying someone else to do the work.

    Whats REALLY in a Dyno Number? (Is it real? Is it fake?)

    Eh. There's a lot more to it than that. That video doesn't really prove or disprove anything about dyno numbers. Power band and how the power is made plays a big factor. The vette probably makes 630 peak but I'm sure your car has a lot more under the curve.

    You can't be ****ing serious right now. Have you been living under a rock or are you just trolling really hard? Lot of demon haters around here for sure.

    Um not necessarily. For instance, it's nearly impossible to see spark blow out in a log.

    Tuning question

    I know most probably don't realize it since we are now in the era of email tuning, but you are always going to end up with a higher quality product with less hassle and better customer service when you have your vehicle tuned in person. A good tuner will ask you to drop the car so that they can...

    Street Outlaws BUSTED in $15,000 Street Race!!

    It's called a track. With the money these guys are throwing around they could easily afford a rental and have better/safer racing conditions. They get off on the adrenaline rush from it being illegal/potential to get caught. Imo its pretty stupid.
