er. 2 superfans. you and Majofo. I don't know why I am pointing this out. hehe

Majofo

I don't know about handling. It's two tons but with pzeros and bilstein 3 way adjustable suspension and traction control (race, sport, street), it must be able to handle.

Here's Jays Garage with the Challenger Hellcat. He lays rubber going 45 / 50 mph.

srika

oh shit hadn't seen that video. :thanks:

Costco

that's fucking awesome! The gauges are really cool, I love that manufacturers are implementing things like that now.

Majofo

ain't nobody got time to be looking at gauges..

i am afraid i will get into a lot of trouble with 700hp considering i am already driving like a jackass with 300hp.

ttribe

Sounds like fun to me!

oonowindoo

first thing i will do is to get some 305 tires for the rear, i will feel safer.

Majofo

Hell.. you might as well put those 275's up front while you're at it.

oonowindoo

That is exactly what i will do. Maybe even 295 in the front. with that much power and torque, i will feel the car will snap at any sec.

ttribe

The E60 M5, with 500hp, came with 255 up front and 285 in the rear so those measurements don't sound too far off, actually.

Majofo

screw it, just put DRs on.. f the transmission.

Costco

With 650 lb/ft of torque there's a point where extra tire width will only result in diminishing returns. The tire compound and traction control system are very important.

Majofo

Are you fucking high Costco.. what width on a street tire would result in diminishing returns in the 700/700 club? 600mm?

oonowindoo

haha


We are talking about 700/700 lb of Supercharged torque, Not NA torque at 6000 RPM.

not putting 305 on a 200hp civic.

Well then i guess cars like the LaFerrari with 345s, the zo6 with 335s all could do better with smaller tires then???

srika

Also regarding tires, there's a point where if the tire is TOO wide, and say an owner puts slicks on it, you'll start breaking stuff on the drivetrain such as the driveshaft or axles or other rotational parts such as that, due to too much traction. And I think it's safe to say Dodge didn't want to equip the car with the potential for that to happen, off the showroom floor. If the owner chooses to get wider wheels and tires, well any damage done after that no longer rests on Dodge.

oonowindoo

i am very curious about the 11.0 1/4 time with those "skinny" 275 in the rear.


Wouldn't they be just doing burnout for the first 1/8 mile on the track?

srika

I'd guess the traction control is doing a very good job.

oonowindoo

so that means, with better tires and TC off, it could be in the mid 10s.

srika

yep

oonowindoo

ok 295F/335R it is then =)

Aman

^ Gonna have to get into the habit of bringing axles to the track.

srika

I'd take this over a P1.

Yumcha

Is that O'Hare?

srika

Yumcha

*in high pitched voice* I'd take this over the 918.

Yumcha

*in even higher pitched voice* I'll take the Poopdick over the Zonda.

^damn that pic.... where is that!

srika

Pacific Grove earlier today

srika

whoa

RPhilMan1

Damn Chrysler, you are stepping up your game, aren't you?

The Charger SRT Hellcat looks phenomenal. Wow.

ttribe

Looks like Monaco.

When does the M235i go on sale? The only 2-series I see locally are 228i models.

$41k for a M-Sport 228i with a pretty good amount of kit isn't bad at all. It's comparable to what Audi would probably charge for an A3 Sportback S-Line.

oonowindoo

like 4 months ago?

charliemike

I guess they can't keep them on the lots

ttribe

Actually, that's pretty true. I've seen a couple of M235i's on the road, but I understand that they are really in demand and the dealers can't keep them on the lots.

Yumcha

Saw one in Burnaby, BC earlier this week. Looks fantastic. And of course, it was white.
