#

no, i meant to type out 'i actually dont know'

#

i dont actually know

#

i was hoping you would be able to tell us

jagged sentinel
#

I don't know, I never really thought about it but I'd imagine there's something, I can look it up

#

Ok so according to AI the NHTSA inspects your vehicle every year

onyx rivet
#

yeah that checks out

jagged sentinel
#

I mean it makes total sense

onyx rivet
#

2500 miles = 4023.36 kilometres for those who cant be arsed searching it up in metric

jagged sentinel
onyx rivet
#

on the wiki, they claim that 2500 is the mileage limit already put on vehicles with a limited-use status by insurers anyways

jagged sentinel
#

Yeah I'd imagine insurance has a hand in that too

onyx rivet
#

having a skim through Show and Display vehicles statuses in the us just reminds me that you can do anything, so long as you are able to pay up for it

straight up created a ruling out if thin air because tech dude wanted a porsche (i dont really blame him)

every time something breaks in this car it gets replaced with mismatched shit, this time one of the lights broke so I went back to halogens, also one of the spark plug wire was from a different car xd

Interesting opinion

#

EVs have potential but it's not really their time yet

#

The technology is not good enough

static gale
#

There isn't really much to innovate on but efficiency and software

naive thorn
#

Should've focused on hybrids

#

Yeah the elephant in the room is the battery

static gale
#

My driving style suits an EV, but I want to go "vroom" at least some of the time, so I'd own a hybrid, but I wouldn't buy one

#

Unless they made a Golf Hybrid

It's contradicting the whole purpose

Tho it ain’t a standard hybrid

PHEVs are awesome, ngl

rigid sand
#

if u know how to use them then yes

lone coral
#

The Panamera 4 e-hybrid is a thing of beauty

#

Now getting a X5 50e as well

rigid sand
#

PHEV’s are nice to go to shopping malls in them

lone coral
#

Mostly because my trips are mostly in the city

rigid sand
#

just park on ev spots

lone coral
#

So I take advantage of the electric range

rigid sand
#

love cars and interested in them but it makes no sense to buy it

#

the metro is just so much faster and more convenient and a whole lot cheaper too

lone coral
#

I have a few lol. Mostly old ones but I like cars xD

lone coral
#

Nah I am based in Europe

rigid sand
#

ohh

lone coral
#

I do use the metro as well

#

And I agree that it is more convenient

rigid sand
#

I can’t own a car but still no way I would be driving 90minites to the center

lone coral
#

But I like having cars for the sake of having them

rigid sand
#

While the metro takes me 17minutes

rigid sand
lone coral
#

The metro does solve the traffic congestion problems

rigid sand
#

I would just have a car for me just to sit in it in the garage

rigid sand
#

cough cough America

lone coral
#

XD

#

Tbh, the investment they would have to make to cover the entirety of the US would be enormous

rigid sand
#

it could’t be done

#

It’s too late now

lone coral
#

China, for example, continue to open and build even more railroads

#

And reduce the traffic issues they have

#

Even some countries in Africa are working on that

rigid sand
#

yeah trains are the future

lone coral
#

Yup

rigid sand
#

not planes or Evs like some people say

static gale
#

trains are the past, present, and future

rigid sand
#

Tbh it’s best to have a hybrid and use it to access places which take more time by car

#

trains are the everything

#

tho they need to be electric DMU’s aren’t that great

lone coral
#

Hold on

#

Oh crap. I can’t send pics here

#

I will dm you one

rigid sand
#

Okay

#

my dads friend had a panamera plug in hybrid from 2019 I think

It was so fire the seatbelts tightened while accelerating

Nothing gets you to point a to point b quite like an old ford heep of junk small 90's pickup truck rattling on the streets.

It's a vibe that most people don't get to experience anymore due to how cheap modern "old" vehicles have become.

i did some wiring for my amplifier

and also i replaced the battery stock negative cable 10awg to 4awg cable

and yea 👍

static gale
#

Is it possible for you to just run two batteries in parallel instead of trying to suck all the current you can from a single batt?

tepid fog

yea its possible but this setup is commonly used in applications where additional power is needed, but my setup is pretty simple im just using 4 speakers and amp

#

I dont hate the car itself

#

Just how overused it is

kind osprey
#

I personally never found that a reason to dislike a car

#

If other people use it in a stupid corny or nonsensical way it doesn't change the performance and handling

#

G wagons are the most capable offroaders from factory, but it's a shame 95% of them are never used in that way

naive thorn
#

What type of offroad we talking

mental lion
#

Amg models are usually unpopular among other mercedes cars like e class c class

#

Except the g wagon

#

I rarely see a g500

jagged sentinel
#

Even the 63 has some off-road DNA in it

#

And of course there's the off-road package to give it some more

mental lion

jagged sentinel
#

Just in a higher tax bracket

#

American excess, baby

mental lion
#

Dont get me wrong its very capable

kind osprey
#

Raptor is the top trim offroader f150

#

Only one that is higher is the Platinum I think

mental lion
#

Yea but its still a ford

#

I dont mind it taking a beating

jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

Isnt “king ranch” the highest trim?

jagged sentinel
#

Although the platinum is typically higher on the totem pole, so to speak

jagged sentinel
#

My point was that people will buy these super capable vehicles with no intention of using all of said capability

mental lion
jagged sentinel
#

Raptors can get pretty expensive anyway

mental lion
#

Its a. 250k vehicle

jagged sentinel
#

I don't think most take it off-road because most didn't buy it for its off-road abilities lol

mental lion
#

Yea they easily exceed the 100k mark

jagged sentinel
#

I will fully admit that I am one of those people who would buy something that they don't need

#

If I could I'd probably get a super loaded nice ram 2500 diesel

mental lion
#

Those are nice

#

I prefer luxury trucks over performance ones

jagged sentinel
#

So do the vast majority of people

mental lion
#

But market says otherwise

jagged sentinel
#

I'm assuming you mean stuff like the Raptor and TRX

mental lion
#

Makrups on trx and raptors are crazy

jagged sentinel
#

I also park Ford cars for a living so I also have some anecdotal input

mental lion
#

Guess its just a popularity thing then

jagged sentinel
#

Mhmm

mental lion
#

Also ive been looking through the high f150 trims and they’re very confusing ngl

#

Theres like 3 trims that cost the same with minimal differences

mental lion
#

Limited platinum and king ranch

#

The limited costs a little more

#

Gotta take another look

#

I think they should combine them into one trim and give it the king ranch name

jagged sentinel
#

King Ranch is notably different from the platinum in terms of styling

#

It's more popular down south as I understand, especially texas

#

The King Ranch incorporates more color and wood into its interior while the platinum looks more modernized

mental lion
#

Yea it got the 2 tons colors and all

sage roost
#

it's way too overkill but it's insane

jagged sentinel
#

Yeah I love me an Escalade V too

kind osprey
#

I would get a G Wagon

sage roost
#

Perfect vehicle to go to your local starbucks and back

kind osprey
#

The escalade has good performance numbers but it's not my cup of tea

#

Too big

sage roost
#

Exactly

#

It's unnecessary

#

and I love it

mental lion
kind osprey
#

It's only useful if you have like 5 kids or a couch to move

#

I'd much rather have a built 4 runner or a G wagon if money is not a factor

#

This is a quick list of the cars I would own if I was worth a few mil and had my housing/real estate situation already sorted out

#

Honorable mention would be an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio

#

Like of I had second daily car in there

#

Hardest part would be figuring out where tf to store all of them

fathom oriole
#

bro missing an LFA

#

smh

kind osprey
#

I remember when they came out I didn't understand why they were $375,000 because kid me didn't see it as a flashy car but if I knew about internals back then I think I would've understood it a lot better

#

A maxed out Murcielago was like $350,000 at the time so it was a steep price tag for Lexus, even then they lost money overall kek

mental lion
kind osprey
#

All I need are the offroad capabilities, and every G wagon has that down pat

#

So I'd just pay $28,000 for a 2005-2009 one and put $20,000 into modifications

mental lion
#

Every g wagon was a body on frame except this one

kind osprey
#

G wagons are meant to be the most comfortable live axle offroaders

#

I'm not buying a gwagon for comfort it is a box on offroad tires

mental lion
#

Yea but i feel like the old ones have the same comfort as a 70s defender

kind osprey
#

I like them for their capabilities from factory and their build quality

mental lion
#

Pre 2019 g wagons

kind osprey
#

If you wanted a jeep wrangler to offroad like a g wagon right out of the show room you would need at minimum $20,000 in mods

#

They are overpriced but you get a lot of car for it

mental lion
#

For this amount its the best value

kind osprey
#

Yea my g wagon would be a monster truck I'd lift it like 8 inches and shove some 37-40's on it

#

Front and rear portal axles

#

Keeping the triple lock diffs it comes with of course

#

It would be my snowmobile

#

And rock crawler

mental lion
#

Jk

kind osprey
#

Yea it teleports to save on gas

mental lion
kind osprey
#

Too far, I'd be happy with Pennsylvania lol

#

Or just any decent crawler trail

#

I was really into offroading back then, I like track and road cars but offroading is a cool little pocket of fun you can have so I want at least one extremely capable car

#

The Audi rs6 is also good for it cause awd but it's not going up rocks or anything

mental lion
#

Which is highly unlikely

kind osprey
#

Helll no xD

kind osprey
#

Yea but for steep roads with not ideal slip (snow dirt and slush etc) it will do just fine

#

It just can't do deep offroad stuff

mental lion
#

Exactly audi exceeds in awd

That’s basically their thing

Then they became luxurious

That was sarcasm, I know why RWD high-output (relatively speaking) cars don't lend themselves well to winter

#

Least of all high-output boats like challengers

silent oak
#

I love driving like the duke boys lmao

#

But I’m not going to do that since my car would be totaled lol

jagged sentinel
#

My car isn't worth speeding in

silent oak
#

Ah fun fun..

jagged sentinel
#

Technically I do speed, basically all the time, but usually just 5 over, 10 depending on the limit of the particular bit of interstate I'm on

#

I gun it on empty interstates

#

Tends to make me wallet very sad

dire shard
#

i gun it in the middle of the night

jagged sentinel
#

My parents don't like me driving in the middle of the night

silent oak
#

My neighbors would hate it if I went and reved lol

jagged sentinel
#

To be honest I love doing it at home

#

Driving around at 12-3 in the morning is just different to during the day, I don't know how to describe it

silent oak
#

Quiet neighborhood

dire shard
#

probably a similar feeling to walking around at 3am too
you just feel more free

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

That being said, I very rarely go on drives for no reason

#

Every time I went out past 11 was usually for food

dire shard
#

gas too expensive to drive for no reason 😔

silent oak
#

They would tell me it’s dangerous lol but I’d still do it since I paid for rent / and bought my car lol

#

So they couldn’t kick me out

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Since they would lose their money from rent if they lost me lmao

dire shard
jagged sentinel
#

They mostly dislike me going out at ridiculous hours because it's not the safest thing, which is a fair concern for a parent

silent oak
#

I was 18 young and stupid

i wanna drive to a noodle shop at night

I went to a 247 taco shop lol

Sonic is my late-night place of choice

silent oak
#

I haven’t fixed my sleep schedule lol

jagged sentinel
#

It always tastes better at 12, 1 in the morning and I don't know why

silent oak
#

My go to is a mc Donald’s imo the fries go hard

jagged sentinel
#

They usually are open later than Sonic anyway

silent oak
#

So I could do those long ass night drives without worrying about being late

jagged sentinel
#

I work normal hours and I have school when I'm not working, so midnight snacks wouldn't be the best idea

#

Plus my parents would interrogate me about going out at midnight anyway bcs life360

silent oak

My midnight snack was a monster lol I know stupid me lol

I have a motorcycle project in my garages

#

So I NEED caffeine

jagged sentinel
#

I can't drink anything with more caffeine than like a Dr pepper when I'm medicated, otherwise it will disrupt my thinking and focus and make me feel funny

dire shard
silent oak
#

But they couldn’t evict because I was paying and bought my car in cash

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Idk parents worried about their daughter going on night rides.. idk id be worried if I was a parent (gladly not)

jagged sentinel
#

It wouldn't matter if I left my phone at home or not because my parents would hear the doors opening and closing and the car start and stuff

dire shard
#

true

dire shard
#

yeah, an old phone can still be a map machine

jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
#

My car has a proper map system, I just can't fucking access it because an option on the order sheet for it wasn't checked

I used to live in Arizona so I guess my night drives were pretty long

I now live in a mid west state so I have a cb radio for fun and as a Smokey and bandit reference

Gt

silent oak
#

Snow took a toll on my bell

placid spruce
#

RT is nice. But the safety of AWD and cornering is so much more fun

silent oak
#

I love awd I wish more were produced

#

Rt with awd is my dream

dire shard
placid spruce
#

It also depends on year

#

I have a 16 RT so an 18gt (the first year) is an upgrade

#

If you're trading same years or going backwards, you may as well keep rwd

silent oak
#

My current bell is a 19 rt

#

She’s my southern bell (long story for that name)

#

Should I look into a v6 because I live in a snowy state during the winter

#

I had an challenger in Arizona so it was perfect there

placid spruce
#

Financially if you can swing it you may as well get a 19 or newer Charger Scat

#

Those have 450+ and awd

#

You get both power and awd

silent oak
#

My bell with an upgrade-

placid spruce
silent oak

#

i don't think i'd trade an rt for awd v6 just because it snows, but i'm also canadian so it's like kinda normal here

I wouldn't trade because loans are fucking expensive

My most expensive car was 16k

silent oak

Always

Newest car was a Sonic that was 3 years old and it was $13k with 30kmi

Have you owned an srt 8

$8k 08 cobalt (accident)
$13k 12 Sonic (traded)
$15k Compass (Wrecked)
$15k 14 mustang (traded)

seems very sublime

I put a lot of money in my bell

Sub lime is nice but I like plum crazy more

silent oak

She took me from Arizona to the modest mid west

I agree but good luck getting Plum crazy for less than an arm and a leg

Panther pink is the most based Chrysler color but the guys higher up axed it because they're dumb and stupid and I hate them

silent oak
#

Panther pink demon..

silent oak
#

A panther pink demon srt is a succubis lmao

#

How’s a mustang compared to a challenger?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

Not as much as people make them out to be

#

The mustang still understeers on entry and oversteers under throttle, it's still got that American handling lol

silent oak
#

But stealing the euro design lol

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Those new rear tail lights are so euro imo

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

It’s one of the few Camaros I like

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

ZR1 is the top Corvette trim, easy mistake

placid spruce
#

Camaro is the smallest of the 3 inside

jagged sentinel
silent oak
placid spruce
#

Vette is comparable to Shelby and scat/demon

#

Idk what the top trim for dodge is

silent oak
#

My friends who are tall absolutely hate my car

placid spruce
#

Is demon a trim or special edition

silent oak
placid spruce
#

Yeah

#

Are those special to order or a trim

silent oak
#

The demon SRT 170 is the highest trim

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

It’s the newest one and is limited run

placid spruce
#

Vette is its own model, the other 2 don't exactly have an equivelant

jagged sentinel
#

The highest built-to-order trim was the hellcat jailbreak iirc

silent oak
#

So fits the TOP tier list of trims

placid spruce
#

Theirs are more....top trims

silent oak
#

But vettes suck on maintenance lol

jagged sentinel
placid spruce
#

"track car for the public"

jagged sentinel
#

It's always kinda stood on its own in its class in America

silent oak
placid spruce
#

Lol

jagged sentinel
#

I guess the car most similar to the Vette is the viper but I don't think there was any clear manufacturer competition between the two

#

SRT always kinda did its own thing anyway

placid spruce
#

Ferrari/Lamborghini is a track brand for public pirchase

silent oak
#

The viper ACR is the closest thing to a vettes highest trim

#

The acr is the track trim and idk the vettes highest trim

jagged sentinel
#

But as far as track dominance goes, the ACR always blew the ZR1 out of the water

silent oak
jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

What’s so special about the c6s?

#

I like em but never desired them as the maintenance I’ve heard is poor!!

jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
#

It's one of the best sports cars you can get for the money

jagged sentinel
#

I love the C6 Vette but fucking leaf springs could only do so much against a big ol wing and canards

silent oak
#

A huge fuck off notice me wing lol

jagged sentinel
#

Yes, the C6 used leaf springs for rear suspension, for reasons known only to god

#

That being said, they do get the job done and do so remarkably well, all things considered

silent oak
#

The c6 has the Benefit that it’s still sold lol

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Vipers are rarely sold

#

If ever

jagged sentinel
#

One

#

1 single viper

silent oak
#

Unless the Stellantis higher ups want to make more

mental lion
#

I thought it ended production years ago

jagged sentinel
#

They stopped building them in 2017, yes

silent oak
mental lion
#

If i had the money for it id definitely pick it up

silent oak
#

Probably for less then msrp

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But you are buying a viper

#

Ha god take the wheel car

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Anyone driving a viper has to pray that they don’t wrap themselves around a telephone pole

jagged sentinel
#

The new vipers have safety features because they have to

mental lion
silent oak
mental lion
#

Its my favorite v10

silent oak
#

No safety no need for .. menial shit like door handles

jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

Lmao

jagged sentinel
#

Because you can just hear the torque in the viper

silent oak
#

And you’d have to make sure you don’t lose traction

jagged sentinel
#

It may have more than 8 cylinders but it definitely still sounds american

silent oak
#

Because 90s vipers didn’t have a single safe feature

#

Just pure god take the wheel safety

mental lion
#

I mean the lfa would appeal to more people in terms of how it sounds but i just love the viper

silent oak
#

How about the bmw track cars?

#

Do they compete with vipers?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Pure skill

mental lion
jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

Only one i can think of is m4 gts

silent oak
#

M6 is a race car by design

#

500 hp v8

mental lion
jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

This design screams touring car rather than supercar

mental lion
#

Exactly

silent oak
#

Isn’t race car just a term for touring car?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

A touring car is a sporty car That's not as dead-set on performance as it is pleasure to drive

#

For example, the MK4 supra is a touring car

mental lion
#

Aston martins too

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

How about track car?

#

Is that just a race car

mental lion
#

Except valkyrie and vagner

jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

I mean valhalla

jagged sentinel
#

The DBS is a supercar I think

mental lion
#

Dbs still is a touring car in my opinion

jagged sentinel
#

The DB11 is a touring car, the DBS is it's sportier, spicier cousin

silent oak
#

Audi r8 is a race car?

mental lion
#

Yea

silent oak
#

I love me Audis but I hate the drivers

jagged sentinel
#

It's a supercar, but it has been in motorsport since its inception

silent oak
#

What classify as super car and sports car aside for engine?

jagged sentinel
#

As has the Bentley Continental as I understand it, and that is as "touring car" as touring cars get, though Bentley has always been a sporty brand

silent oak
#

Mid engine?

#

Or just hp numbers

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel

#

Likd example id say a demon is a track car

jagged sentinel
#

A base C7 Corvette is a sports car, but a C7 Z06 and ZR1 could be argued as a supercar

jagged sentinel
#

Nah not really, it just isn't a track car

mental lion
#

Drag strip car*

silent oak
#

It’s a fuck you money car too

mental lion
silent oak
#

The average demon driver has money

mental lion
#

But the new zr1 is real talk

jagged sentinel
#

The C8 Stingray is riding the line between sports car and supercar

silent oak
#

No one daily’s a demon and isn’t making the dosh

jagged sentinel
#

The Z06 is undoubtedly a supercar, and the ZR1 is pushing hypercar numbers

mental lion
#

I consider all the c8s to be supercars

silent oak
#

What’s a muscle car pushing that super car number?

mental lion
#

But if we’re talking c7s they’re on the lower end compared to other supercars

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Demon 170?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But still pushing super car numbers

jagged sentinel
#

In a straight line, sure

#

And on a prepped surface

silent oak
#

And with a drag kit

mental lion
#

First corner its over

jagged sentinel
#

Am I the only one that's just a bit skeptical that the ZR1 's engine is a little bit too ambitious for its own good

silent oak
#

Yes you aren’t alone.

#

They are ambitious with the ZR1

jagged sentinel
#

The Z06 motor didn't launch well, and adding two relatively beefy turbos to it, upgrades aside, is asking a lot

silent oak
#

It’s like hearing the Supra fan boys talking about how powerful their engines are

#

Yeah it’s a rare car. But your engine won’t beat a dedicated track car

silent oak
#

One with complete interior delete

jagged sentinel
#

Hell, you don't even get all 1000-something horsepower in the ZR1 until like 3rd or 4th gear

mental lion
#

Mclaren w1 got like 1250hp and it was in development for like 10 years

jagged sentinel
#

I've never put a ton of trust in McLaren engines

mental lion
#

True

jagged sentinel
#

Chevy's quality control is at least consistent

mental lion
#

What im saying is chevy is coming in a bit too hot

jagged sentinel
#

McLaren engines rated at low 700s of hp occasionally make over 800, or they blow at 10K miles

mental lion
#

Dont they all use the same engine?

jagged sentinel
#

Ish

#

It's clear they aren't all tuned the same because the P1 has a similar 4 liter displacement but it sounds like an entirely different animal to literally every other McLaren launched this century

#

Goddamn does the P1 sound good

mental lion
#

Ofc the p1 wont share the same engine as the others

#

I think the 570 and 650 share the same one atleast

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Hyper car maintence is a chore to

mental lion

They dont have much experience in production cars

They only started with the mo4

What engine brand does McLaren use?

3.8l v8

How do you folk feel about arch? Keanu reeves co found company

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

The fucking expensive motorcycle company that sells near 1 of 1 motorcycles

jagged sentinel
#

I've never really cared much for motorcycles

silent oak
#

I like how they are making themselves feel unique in the way it’s marketed

jagged sentinel
#

I don't like the idea of being exposed to bad drivers without any protection of my own

silent oak
#

1 of 1 to your special order

#

Not many motor vehicles companies do that

#

It’s not profitable to the every man

jagged sentinel
#

Arch is a passion project for Reeves iirc

#

He does it because he loves motorcycles

silent oak
#

If I had the money I’d make my own custom car shop

jagged sentinel
#

Most people know Arch from cyberpunk

silent oak
#

Make fictional cars a reality

#

Like I’d LOVE a production Quadra irl

#

Idk I’m no engineer so

jagged sentinel
#

Or maybe the non-widebody type 66

silent oak
#

But the Quadra turbo is a mishmash of euro mid engines

#

And looks 80s in the interior design

jagged sentinel
#

The V-Tech is too wide tbh

tepid fog
#

vtec

jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
#

In cyberpunk

silent oak
#

If I had a car company.. I’d love to recreate a v tech turbo Quadra

#

Maybe fill the gap in the market for replica cars

jagged sentinel
#

Have you seen the wheels of pretty much all of the quadras? They're fucking gigantic lmao

silent oak
#

And how maintenance would be

jagged sentinel
#

It makes Veyron wheels look like pizza cutters

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Bigger then fucking rear drag radials

jagged sentinel
#

In the V-Tech's case that would be an Audi V10

#

That's probably the easiest one out of any car in the game tbh

silent oak
#

My best Frame of refrence is Forzas Quadra

#

Idk the scale

jagged sentinel
#

The door mechanism would be...challenging

#

Another reason I think the outlaw would be the easiest, because it's of similar size to concurrent models, has a conventional door mechanism, and doesn't have any fancy window tech

silent oak
#

Yeah gotta hire them nasa level scientists

#

To just design the door mechanism

jagged sentinel
#

The door moving forward is a fantastic idea, but there's a reason nobody does it IRL

silent oak
#

And find out a way to fit an Audi v10

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

I swear the rear tires would cost a fortune to repair

jagged sentinel
#

It would cost a fortune just to make them

silent oak
#

Atleast it wouldn’t cost as much as an Bugatti oil change

jagged sentinel
#

Like a sort of crate motor, except at a manufacturer level

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

They'd have to be custom ordered

silent oak
#

How wide are drag radials in those speed drag races

jagged sentinel
#

And then tested, and then certified for road use

silent oak
#

It’s gonna be wider then a hellcat wide body

#

And challengers are just bricks

jagged sentinel
#

Like, seriously what the fuck

silent oak
#

A video of a fan recreating the car had to use dulies at the back

jagged sentinel
#

Just the front tires gotta be at least 350s

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

That’s a fans recreation of it

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Idk how legal those lights are lol

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But.. Tesla also had small ass taillights and it passed

#

ON A FUCKING CHROME BLOB

jagged sentinel
#

Idk I feel like Elon pays off those people

#

There's no fucking way the cybertruck passed

Anyway
