You drive by a mitsubishi lot every day? That’s rough.

Why would that guy from the Dwayne Johnson action movies care about how many seconds my car is? And where can I get an energy drink that size?

That’s not a Mitsubishi eclipse. I know the Eclipse, I see them on the Mitsubishi dealer lot when I drive by it every day. The Eclipse is a small-ish crossover.

Not to mention that the sheriff’s main reasoning for buying this car was for drag-racing on the taxpayer’s dime to...teach people about illegal street racing?

At least those funds are carefully collected with strict oversight from suspects and the money or property is promptly returned if no crime was committed...

If seizing assets went through the courts, the due process would satisfy the 14th Amendment equal protection clause.

Asset forfeiture is a scandal and a travesty. If conducted at all it should be court-approved and paid into the state like taxes, not used as an individual sheriff’s personal or departmental slush fund.

Sheriff Conway’s office paid $69,258 for the Hellcat back in April. The purchase was made with asset forfeiture funds and was initially approved by the Department of Justice under its “equitable sharing program,”

What are you talking about? Craigslist is full of cars with V4s. Do some research dude.

Speed is cool, but seeing today’s 80%+ bypass turbofan engines is like a miracle of engineering. In layman’s terms, early commercial jets shot nothing but hot air out the back, along with lots of pollution and noise. Today, almost all of the thrust comes from the engine core driving a shaft to the front of the engine…

Long roof bonus points!

Your friend has a way with words.

Haha, that was awesome.

I have to say, this really is one of the best sounding engines posted here. That thing revs QUICK. The kind of motor that’ll cost you if you miss a shift.

While not technically a V8, the W8 is my favorite 8 cylinder sound. To quote a friend “it sounds like a wookie orgasm”.

That was nice of him to pull forward before he started revving the engine with the exhaust dumping right out the side like that to not damage the car nearby :O

Win.

Everything else is just a toy.

This guy in his old school hot rod who got tired of hearing Honda’s rev their engines. Jump to 20 seconds for the fun
