It's an 8 speed auto and noticeably quicker than the 2015 6 speed I had prior. |

I recently had my silver '91 repainted and want to add black stripes, and the size/location of yours looks about what I had in mind. Thanks! The vinyl stripes are 8" wide and 1.5" apart. |

In reality, at any given time, any of these cars could beat any of the others because drivers are human. They're that close even at this incredible performance level.

Coyote or LS motor on twin turbos??? I hate that Ford cheaped out on the oil pump and timing gear sets making people rely on MMR for the billet parts for safe boost. But the power is there for not much money. Holy shit balls look out. I hate Shelby America, factory "SVT" is where I wish it stayed rather than adopting the Shelby name and confusing shit between Ford factory and Shelby aftermarket. The factory options are cool as hell from all 3. I am a died in the wool Ford fan. You just know a GT500 is looming to respond to this Hellcat and ZL1 stuff. Hopefully when it hits the GT350 will go down in price. |

I was just going to buy one of those (392 SRT) when they unveiled the HC, so I saved for another year and waited to hear whether the HC was going to hold up. Honestly, an SRT with a manual transmission would be as much fun on the street as a guy could hope to have! The Hellcat really needs the auto trans to hit its mark. Either is functionally superior to anything that was ever offered in the `60's or `70's. |

I had a 2012 Jetta TDI that I was planning on doing the emission modification with. About a month ago, the check engine light came on and I made an appointment with VW to get it diagnosed. They said the DPF was getting full and needed to be replaced. $2000 for this. And I was just over 100,000 miles and that serviced suggested the timing chain replacement. Another $2000. The mechanic told me that the vehicle would stop doing the regen and the DPF would fill up pretty quickly and eventually go in to limp mode and maybe had another 10,000 miles before it would basically quit. That sealed it's fate. As soon as I got back home, I called the claims service and changed my option from modification to turn in.
I did the paperwork and set my appointment to turn the vehicle in. The very next day, the check engine light went off. I thought about changing it back to modification but with the timing chain cost and the potential for the light to come back on, I decided to keep it as is. One the day of the turn in, I was looking at potential new cars and came across a CPOed 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 4Matic. The car didn't have every option that I wanted but it was close and the price was right. I wasn't planning on taking home a vehicle home with me but everything worked out on it!
