Spounds a out right, I remember seeing an ad featuring the Pirelli Scorpions for the LM years ago and they were 1500.00 a tire at the time and this was when the LM was still a thing for the moneyed class and not some collector vehicle. 

Shit I’ve seen tires 20 years old that weren’t in bad shape at all. Never forget the time we replaced a set of OE tires on a 1979 Continental that I’m sure the guy drove way more than most XJ220s. Garaged kept and excellently maintained. The tires were in shockingly good shape.

You joke but that’s an area where manufacturers save money and so can consumers.

The factory 4.6 DOHC 32v made 305 horsepower this car probably has another 100 to 150 or 200 on top of that with the supercharger depending on size and tune not to mention a fair amount of grunt most likely exceeding 400 pound feet. 

1st gear. 

Well McPissy Pants found a loop hole and pressed it so shame on the organizers for not thinking ahead but does the event distinguish between AWD and RWD and driving aids on/off or is it just a free for all best man/vehicle wins?

Hell call the 4dr car a Falcon and make sure it gets plenty of exposure testing down under and watch people go ape shit over it!

Oil prices just crated again. Hell Saudi Arabia is even thinking about abandoning OPEC and as EVs start coming in oil is going to be in even worse shape unless they can figure out how to turn the shit into cobalt.

Well many moons ago it was considered a sedan since it had a b-pillar and interior volume was above the threshold. The SCCA even classed it as such. 

Well the highly unlikely but still making the rounds Mustang based sedan rumor is out there. 

Here is betting the speeder gets thier chatge upgraded from speeding or reckless driving to whatever the next level is so they can hang reckless endangerment of the cop and his car on there as well. 

Definitely depends on where you were as to how messy it could be. My old man was drafted in 62, spent a year in Korea and spent the next four years in Vietnam but he could talk about his time in both countries. A buddy of mine, his dad was an evac pilot and wouldn’t even talk about his time in Vietnam.

Good advice! Except when every fucker behind the lead car does the same damn thing...

Negative! Even 500 horsepower engines were tearing those cars up without some sort of auxiliary stiffening. 

GM and Ford offer crate engines? Granted they don’t have production engines they could throw another 160 horsepower on top of but you can get a 755 horsepower supercharged V8 from GM (LT5)as well as a 720 horsepower big block and Ford sells a naturally aspirated 580 horsepower 5.2 cpc V8 as well as pushrod engines…

Probably could with little problem. My guess is that Mopar went with the aluminum block both for ease of manufacture and they most likely stuffed the engine with a pretty tough sleeve.

Traction is the real issue. You can have a 1000 horsepower through an IRS just don't expect it to dead hook and survive for long.

My parents drove my bitch’n Camaro up from the Bahamas!!!!

Modern engines are tested may times at peak power, peak torque and peak rpm for well over 24 hours. Hyundai for example runs all of its engines at peak power for over 300 hours on a dyno and the LS1 specifically was tested at over 520 hours and Ford for example ran the 5.0 Coyote at peak power 100 hours at a time for…
