cheat code does not mean cheating(when used for things outside of gaming). It’s roughly analogous to a lifehack.

They both use the same ZF 8HP90 transmission. Which I just found out isn’t rated to handle the Demon’s torque output. The 8HP90's max torque rating is 900NM, or 663 lb-ft. The Demon makes either 717 or 770 if you are running race gas. The “normal” Hellcat is already pushing the limits at 650.

You may notice the qualifier “can” in that sentence. Not saying it will, but it can. That statement was written due to people having a bad sense of what slow is.

Because it is presumably as far over on shoulder as possible and out of the flow of traffic with it’s hazard lights on. And before you suggest driving slowly on the shoulder, that’s an excellent way to get more flat tires.

And I should clarify, I’m not saying go change the tire on the side of a highway. I do change my tires on the highway, and I hate every second of it. I can totally understand not wanting anything to do with it. I’m just saying that trying to drive it out is not a good choice. If you don’t want to change the tire…

For one, pulling over fast enough could mean the difference between needing a plug and needing a new tire. Plugs are cheap and you don’t even need to dismount the rim. Second, once your tire no longer has air in it, it will very quickly roll off the bead, fold under itself and leave very little space between the wheel…

That can do an insane amount of damage to the car and/or cause a serious accident. When you are on a highway you need to be as predictable as possible, and a car doing 30(or slower) in a 65 is very much not predictable. People in general are bad at judging closing speeds, doubly so at night. Don’t get rear-ended…

10&2 is about having the ability to turn the wheel in either direction at any time without needing to move a hand. The actual way it should be done is 10&2 but your arms shouldn’t be hanging from the wheel, you should be actively holding your hands up and keeping a light touch on the wheel. But that’s hard as hell to…

The only time I’ve gone down a hill in 1st was when I was stuck in stop and go traffic on a long downhill. crawling along in 1st just happened to be the perfect speed to not have to touch the pedals as the traffic crept forward. Usually 3rd is sufficiently low to slow my car on a downhill. 1st would only be usable at…

On long, steep downhills, I’ll slow using the brakes then downshift and use revs and light braking to maintain the lower speed, but I rarely ever downshift to engine brake. I will let the car coast in gear to slow down if I see it coming far enough out, but I’m not downshifting, just coasting in 6th.

It is true, I once drove my e30 back home around 5 miles with a clutch stuck engaged. The lazy way to do it is over-rev slightly and lightly push the shifter into the gear while you let the RPM fall slowly, when you get the RPM right it should slide in with little or no resistance.

This is how poor welding would cause him to be ejected from the car: It looks like he has a 4 point harness in there. He does not have a harness bar, which should be a bar running horizontally just behind the front seats for the upper harness straps to attach to. Instead he has them attached to the rear seat lower…

I would sell off several organs* for BMW to build some of their Hommage cars(namely the 3.0CSL and 2002 Hommages, especially the 3.0CSL R and 2002 Turbomeister.)

By 2024 FL will just be one giant meth lab, so it’ll work out nicely.

well we can’t not be stylish.

I mean they’ll be owned by a Chinese consortium that ends up buying most of FCA, because of course that’s going to end up buying them. Every Dodge car will come free with monitoring equipment that reports direct back to your Chinese masters manufacturer in order to schedule repair work and steal secrets.

This was totally inadvertent, because I was pulling numbers out of my ass, but it turns out that’s about the size of a top fuel dragster’s rear tire.

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of the 2030 Dodge Super Devil Twin Drag Pack™. That’s when they finally bite the bullet and switch to nitromethane, bump it up to a quad twincharger setup(per engine), and add in the second engine for a combined total of 17,458hp. Get the optional Hell’s Alley kit to upgrade all 4 tires…

phht, the 2024 Demon will be making like 1500 hp thanks to a twin twincharger setup with factory Nitrous and a meth kit. No way the maniacs over a Dodge don’t spit out a car to respond to this.

True, but there are big differences in the peak power of an engine vs the peak power of a horse. A properly designed engine can deliver peak power all day. A horse can deliver peak power for only a few minutes, then needs hours, or possibly even days to recover.
