What world do you live in where the “general consensus” is 355 HP from a 5.3L V8 is “underpowered” for any passenger vehicle?

Are you saying that an employee isn’t beholden to the whims of their employer? She may have full control of her content but she certainly doesn’t have full control over her continued employment.

It will ship with a harness bar, no cage as far as I can tell. Which makes sense, on a track with a helmet/HANS and room for the car to roll the cage helps, but at highway speed with no helmet it can actually make a crash more injurious to occupants. Dodge, like every OEM, is going to consider things from that…

The viaduct will be replaced with a surface road, which will provide plenty of capacity for downtown traffic and transit.

Maybe you should get your car news from somewhere else then? Obviously you seem to have an issue with how blogs work.

As a former defense contractor the level of waste fraud and abuse is not that much worse than it is for private industry design-build projects. If the contract specification is fully defined in advance of the bid process and doesn’t change much after award then we were typically able to hold to the budget and…

It is essential for fair competition that the rules be enforced in an equitable manner. As TV airtime in a golf competition is not equitable it follows that TV footage should not be used for rules review as this will result in punishments to popular/leading players in excess of those who don’t get as much coverage.…

I’d love to see you put down a 10 second pass in one of these then, since it’s so easy.

In a sense neither was Obamacare seeing how it led to the Tea Party uprising which swept Democrats out of both houses of Congress. However here it still is despite both the Congressional majority and the President openly calling for its repeal.

The funniest thing is that if he had just kept his campaign promise of providing a replacement bill that was “much less expensive and much better” and provided “insurance for everybody” then Democrats and moderate Republicans would have been more than willing to vote to repeal and replace Obamacare and he wouldn’t…

I’ve rolled over a car loan twice and I’ve never carried credit card debt in my life. No regrets here.

Ah, so your figure is the average when excluding all households with no carried debt. When you remove all of the zeroes from an average of course it’ll result in a shockingly high number. On a per-capita basis, for all Americans, the credit card debt carried is $2400, which is $6200 on a per-household basis.

Is that just credit card debt or total consumer debt, do you have a source? I often see the two confused in online discussions and the latter adds student loans, car notes, and other personal debt to the former.

The upside is that the faster your are moving the less effort it will require to maintain control without power steering. This provides a decent opportunity to slow down to a safe speed before continuing.

It is generally illegal to create a dangerous condition on your own property unless appropriate action is taken to protect the public from this danger. This is often explicitly for the benefit of first responders but it still applies to the public even if a no trespassing sign is posted. Think of how it is generally…

There is a fixed cost in designing the transmission and homologating its packaging for each vehicle design. Even if a parts-bin transmission is available the homologation requirements may still be cost-prohibitive; for this reason Dodge does not sell a manual-transmission Charger Hellcat even though it is mechanically…

Your reply has done nothing to convince me that this service is worth $2500. How many filters could possibly need replacing in the first 100k miles?

Not $4500... it’s $6000 combined.

If I’m understanding you correctly “VSA” covers repairs while “Maintenance” covers only scheduled maintenance.

modest is also a synonym of self-deprecating, one which is much more applicable here.
