Spirited Driving?

You either know what you're doing behind the wheel of a race version (or actual race car) vehicle... "for real"......or you simply don't. A checkbook makes that difference....not.

What a sad sight. I've been waiting on mine to show up for what seems like an eternity.

I own a 2005 GTO that makes 675 HP & TQ at the wheels. With that much power at your fingertips you have to use solid judgement when doing some "Spirited Driving". You also need to know what the limits are for the given conditions. If not, you will pay the ultimate price in a hurry. This guy got an expensive lesson in poor judgement.

Oh yeah and the $60K Dodge Hellcat makes 631 HP & 591 TQ at the wheels on a chassis dyno, which is a far cry from the claimed 707HP. This is pretty stout power but it also has a porky curb weight of 4439lbs......... My GTO is going to love slapping these things around in the summer on relaxing Sunday drives

Your claimed 631hp to the wheels is a bit more than 707 to the crank (720+)...which is where manufacturers run their hp ratings. It won't take much more than a tune and some exhaust work for my Hellcat (soon as the sumbish gets here) to drag that little goat of yours down the pavement.

I've never once heard of either insurance, or the police caring, unless there was a fatality and it wasn't clear who was doing what. I don't even believe your friend actually (sorry).

Edit: Now my interest is piqued. I bet MarkCo can shed some more light for us.

Hell, even you precious Duracrap should be able to run with a Raptor...on pavement. Off road is a whole other story.

Yeah the raptor wouldn't stand a chance then.

They're notorious for the bed folding into the cab when they encounter rough terrain at speed or take jumps. It's marketed as a light-duty baja truck, but can't actually run dunes. It doesn't have the front end for technical trails. It's not meant to tow or haul anything serious. To be honest, I'm not really sure what it was made for other than contributing to GDP.

The only guy I know that has one did tell me it snorts pretty good pulling his 23' travel trailer and gear. I told him my big D doesn't even know there is anything behind it

You got one incoming?

[Graves]

Yep, trading the 392 in.

I agree, I have only ever had one claim where data was pulled. It was a Toyota enginee looking at air bag data.

Anyone who is paranoid about using the plug-in monitor to lower your rates on your driving, we were told that the company would only pull data from their module if they were issued a subpoena.

Yep, trading the 392 in.

Nice!
