Story is on Page 74, you guys read this stuff??
"Axle breaks(anytime the car hooks up)"
Cam limited
Pistons fail at any level.
Crank bends at 650hp
Rods break at 600hp
Are these cars really what they are cracked up to be?? Or just more OEM POS's to satisfy the masses??

Re: May 2011 HotRod, '08-'11 Dodges are POS's
Uhmm... maybe the engineers didn't engineer them for nitrous and blowers and stuff?
Everyone knows that Mustangs and Camaros and Vettes and Challengers are going to be modified. Certainly especially in the case of the Mustang, they are over-engineered, knowing that many of them will not stay stock for long. It's pretty insane when a car can go 8's on the factory third member, but all of the sudden that is the standard a car has to be engineered to??The official Bangshift garage door guru. Just about anything can be built using garage door parts, trust me.

The comment on the pistons failing "at any power level" is due detonation, not merely upping the power.
What naturally aspirated car can be modded to put out 600/600 to the wheels with out significant motor and drivetrain reinforcements?

I've seen more than one stock CTS-V completely explode the center chunk of the IRS on the drag strip.
That which you manifest is before you.

They're just not built for repeated abuse. ~J/W.
