How many liters in the Kia?

3.3

I get ~27mpg on the highway. Best 0-60 I've recorded (I have pro recording equipment) is 3.7.

You can find plenty of videos but mostly of stock ones, which are good for about 167mph. I've had mine to 176 and it was a long way from done, but I was coming up on an intersection and that was enough for me. Go to jail, directly to jail, do not pass Go. It's estimated good for 190 - it's one slippery beast.

OK, I gotta question: is the Hellcat everything its cracked up to be? I was thinking I want one of the last Hellcat Durangos. My dog's ears and jowls need to flop fast from the passengers seat. He has needs.

They are impressive with the red key. Mopar has a bad rep for cam/lifter issues though. If you wanna goes balls deep on a mopar badge, get a helephant

And they will not win a top fuel drag race.
Just saying that these guys are car guys. They are getting the best out of what they like. It may not be for everyone but I give them credit for doing it.


Any engine is subject to failure when pushed.
These guys are no different than the WW2 guys that started the Hot Rod deal. They have a never ending supply of wrecked cars in the junkyards. Motors can be had for next to nothing and engine swaps are the same for everyone.

I had a 2010 STi with nothing but bolt-on parts and a tune by Harvey at BoostCreep. I got Killer-B headers & Spoolinator plus the usual pieces. I put quite a bit of effort into the suspension and brakes, got good rubber, etc. I wanted a driveable car with throttle response. Even without a hard launch, it was a mid-11s car that would top out over 160. Great handling and brakes that would yank fillings out of your teeth. And compared to the fast cars in the Denver area, it was slow. GT-Rs could chew it up and spit it out. Etc. Street cars these days are unbelievable.

I helped a friend build a Willy's kit car with tubular frame, fiberglass body and a supercharged hemi. With street car rubber, on a sticky day it was a low 9s car. That's some serious acceleration for a streetable car but still, it's not the fastest ride on the road. Amazing. Then look what a fast street bike can do.

I have a stock 2016 hellcat. Fastest car I’ve ever driven and a blast to drive. I do not claim to be a professional driver. Just a guy who likes cars. Also have an 03 z06 and it’s nothing even close to that hellcat. Had a 71 challenger 440 R/T auto. That was fun too but isn’t in the same ballpark as that hellcat. Maybe look at the track hawk??? Jeep Cherokee with hellcat motor and AWD. Your dogs face would turn inside out 😎

I feel cars doing shit all the time and most people act like I’m a moron lol. I can get fuel and feel the difference of having an extra 100 pounds back there.

Keep paying attention you’ll feel a tire that has 1 psi difference that the others.

That “corner” of the car will feel like a marshmallow

I wouldn't say I'm that good 😆

I can definitely tell when ones low but looks normal though. I call it "driving on grease" best way to explain it .

Ah... all these modern cars don't impress me. Try going way too fast, way too quickly in a 3500 pound metal box with all drum brakes, a non power single line master cylinder, no seat belts and a steering wheel shaped like a fucking spear! ;) :D
