The car sounds great, for sure, but it looks like there’s zero grip. Every slomo shot has that FXXK hopping around a corner. Was it could in Florida when they filmed and Harris didn’t get enough laps to properly warm up?

It goes without saying that Chris Harris is an impressive driver and a gifted orator. The fact that he can do both at the same time just boggles my mind.

every Dodge should come with a toolkit this comprehensive. It amounts to an admission that, well, you’re gonna need them sooner or later...

FTFY.

Indeed they did. The Gwinnett Co. cop came quickly actually (a precinct was less than a mile away) the sales manager kept trying to pull the officer to the side and speak to him without being in earshot of myself or my now irate wife. The officer said “Either find the keys and the truck now, or I will call a few…

Two possible explanations.

Had a similar experience when I went to buy a ‘14 Focus ST3. Had the sales guy email me itemized pricing on the ST as well as a “ballpark” trade in on my truck. My wife and I went out to the dealer. After they took the key to my truck and gave it a look over, they came back with a quote for the car that was $5k more…

Tom,

It was the shop owner? Yikes.

Yeah, what makes it more interesting is that they basically destroy an engine every pass. Or, at least a large portion of it. Stats on top fuel are damn near insane. I wonder what the ultimate time limit would be on the quarter.

I’ve been on an active flight deck. It’s close but no cigar to being there when a pair of cars rip down the track.

Similar, though wrong end of the scale.

They already run injected cars in Top Alcohol, which push 6,000hp and are a couple seconds slower. No way they could slow down TF/FC that much and still get the crowds.

I went and saw top fuel drag racing a couple of times. Its....pretty nuts. Your brain doesn’t quite compute what’s happening. There’s a car there, and then its just gone. It looks like the laws of physics are being broken.

Plus its the loudest thing i’ve ever seen. Your eyeballs vibrate and compress in weird ways,…

How is a slower car a better show? That’s like saying F1 needs 1.6L V6 Turbo Hybrids that can’t pass each other to make a better show.

I tip my hat to you, sir. Well done beating out my BMW turn signal comment.

Safety in a collision, you say?

$25k is about the going rate for a fully refurbished Daimler Ferret, with drivers closer to $10k.

Probably because Tommy and Mark Hughes already had rights to the name…
