Lets see all the rides!!!!

What is the deal with carbon fiber hoods? Are they really that much lighter? I can't see them saving more than 10-25 lbs over a stock hood and I can't see how that could justify the cost on a street car...maybe on a race car though.

I've seen tons of people spanking their e-peens over CF body parts on street cars. I personally don't get it. Even if you replace every panel on your car with a CF one - what will you drop, maybe 100-120 lbs? There are way more inexpensive ways to remove weight from a street car that aren't as permanent. Not to mention CF isn't going to behave the same way in a crash as the factory panels will. It's going to crack and fibers are going to be everywhere!

Sorry, rant off.

I'm not knocking you for the CF hood - I just don't get it.

carbon fiber parts are cheaper than oe replacement parts...

my hood for my sti was dented up from getting hit with rocks so it was either pay 1200 bucks for a oe hood or get a cf one for 650 shipped...

Transmissions taking a dump, is a definite negative. Have all chargers been having transmission problems or just the Hemi?

Good looking STi...I just picked up an '09 WRX last month and I'm loving it. AWD makes a quick car sooooo much more fun to drive. Not being able to get traction under 35 MPH at WOT in my Cobras was not fun.

Nah, its a compilation of current and past vehicles spread around the family. The Cobalt 343 (34.3ft) and the Fountain (35ft) are my brothers

That's cool man! I'm gonna have to get some pics up of the Trailblazer, Rav4 and the '97 Celebrity 180. Lmfao.

That Cobalt really is sa-weet though!

i havent heard anything about the regular chargers having trans problems but the police cars have but take into mind they get used alot harder than susie soccer mom driving to the mall. I've seen some officers flog those hemis like a mule
