Exactly, it’s one of those things that until you have actually experienced it in the seat you can’t really wrap your head around. Matt Farrah who I have brought up multiple times before said more or less after a couple of pulls in the Rimac Nevera he was actually getting sick because the acceleration was that insane.

Agreed, I figure the 3 tiers, 400 or less, 400 - 700, and 700+ cover a good range and each step up requires additional training. Tier one, drivers ed, Tier 2 advanced driver training or equivalent, Tier 3 something like race/rally school. Rally school in particular I have heard can be the most beneficial kind of bang

I had to upgrade from my 2000 Pathfinder (170hp) to a 2003 (240hp) just to make it up to the Eisenhower Tunnel at a decent speed without feeling like it was going to blow up every time. I’m genuinely curious how much power the old one had at over 11k feet elevation and being over 20 years old. Simple answer is not

I’m exhausted with the whole1,000 hp is the new 500 hp” trend. Every single build you see now had a completely unusable amount of power outside of a drag strip.

Porsche 912E

I recall this discussion started by Matt Hardigree (Or Torch? I don’t remember) many moons ago, and the number turned out to be 300.

This.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a car with more than 200 hp and so far, that’s been fine.

Just because you can buy a 700hp car off the lot doesn’t mean you should, but it also doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist.”

Man.... most people don’t NEED more than 200 - 300 HP on most cars (except for you fucks with giant ass SUVs and trucks carrying nothing but yourself, then you can go blame yourself for buying such a shitty unusable car for the 1% of the time that you actually need it)

Keeping this simple and not involving torque or power bands or what have you, 400hp.

FedEx would do their damndest, but when it absolutely, positively has to get there . . . send it with a courier.

Even EGOTers can push out a turd.

Partly, it just works. But secondarily, it’s inconspicuous. There are plenty of other cold shippers that would absolutely draw stares, and stares draw questions, and questions result in delays. And delays kill patients.

It’s amazing. And the poster tagline is 98% accurate.

Why all the concern? Just let Darwin do its thing. It is never failed to hold the stupid accountable for their stupidity.

I do not stand in the way of potential Darwin Award nominees ...

Not defending his actions, but I do find it somewhat funny that both of the other drivers involved both basically said (lots of paraphrasing and a little bit of creative license here, but) that they understand it and they have done it themselves, but they are very upset because somebody did it to them.

Youre telling me David Puddy WASNT onto something?

Those of us who actually offroad know what the sign means, it’s the people who watch Subaru commercials and think they bought a Wrangler with a heart who don’t.
