What Are You Driving ?

Washed the Wife’s daily driver today.

It’s a 2007 with 198k Miles currently.

And it's most likely just stretching it's legs. Probably good for another 400k miles...

Something wrong there.

How do you think he justifies the Oakley spending and GTR?

It's @SiRacer420!

In all honesty though, I respect Honda...their engines don't die. Well, only in F1 they do.

You're damn right lol I have a B16A2 and a K20Z3 that will testify to that!

It would be nice to have it go that long.

Exactly.

Got respect for Dodge too, just...they tend to be a bit mischievous on their numbers.

Exhibit A: 707 HP Hellcat. What they don't tell you is the reason they don't put bigger tires on that which would generate grip isn't because of cost, but because the second you put anything in there that generates grip, you will warp the driveshaft of it, as it uses the same driveshaft a Dodge Dart uses. Not that I'm insulting Dodge Dart, that's a strong driveshaft for a Dart.

Exhibit B: Demon, 9.6 second car, supposedly, yet it can only do those numbers in perfect scenarios.

the widebody hellcat has 305's on it. the only people breaking hellcat drive shafts at stock hp levels are the 6 speeds when they drop the clutch at the drag strip. besides that the autos that brake a drive shaft are not stock and not on street tires. Hellcats are also under rated at 707hp. a lot of dyno runs posted so far are not far off that number at the rear tires instead of the engine.

Love the K20Z3. I almost got myself a S2000 a year or two ago. Honda is one of the few that could make an engine rev to 9K and not explode.

There's been reports of the 305s breaking driveshaft on widebody HC, bro. I do know that engine is severely underrated.

The auto ones can break a DS if they have slicks on, it doesn't need the extra power to do it. That driveshaft is just not meant to hold the torque numbers that beast of an engine puts out.

Again, I got massive respect for Dodge, just saying they have a few issues - engines isn't one of them, though.
