So? Have you ever read the gear break-in procedures recommended by gear manufacturers and larger resellers? As it happens, today I took the first 20-mile drive (at lower speeds) to get the first of several work hardening cycles done in my new Durango. That'll be followed by four or five more...

Does anybody have properly broken in gear set that ended up making noise?

I'd think that getting the nose down would be far more important, so the rear end could stay as is.

It'd be so much easier to lower the car 0.5 or 0.75", and then inflate the tires a tad more. At least I think lower drag and less rolling resistance would help more than an extra 3.74 hp.

Hey 2nd, I have an idea. Not necessarily a good one, but it's the thought that counts, right? Instead of chasing horsepower (isn't the Redeye only 4 mph faster than a 707?) how about tinkering with aero mods instead? If you're allowed to use wheel covers, for example, that could be a cheap...

Reese and Draw-Tite make (made?) some useful stuff.

Or maybe the hood lifts partially because of all the air being forced into the engine compartment through the lower intake?

Hey, it wasn't you that started calling it 5/10 on the tread meter.

That should be 2 or 3/32". Otherwise a new tire would have a 1" tread depth and a half worn one still have 1/2" of tread left.

Nowhere near as dumb as the firing orders they use on Furds.

Not pointing fingers here, but that someone's initials just might be BULL.

No ICE in your neck of the 'hood yet?

Well, crap. Pretty sure I never posted even an improper introduction.. Yet you have responded to some of my posts, you hypocrite.

Does such a thing exist, and if so why?

Something you lift up.

Found a set of mudflaps in the garage yesterday, so I'm out.

Yes and no. I sure wouldn't mind following you, but roundabouts tend to exist in places I'd rather not be. As in towns and cities.

When the inner shoulders wear out first it simply proves that you drive far too slowly through the curves. Don't you have any roundabouts nearby where you could even the wear out?

Oh, just wait until the new Charger comes out with its mighty 6-banger.

I can pretty much guarantee that I could register a 392 or HC here, and that's why I stated it. That doesn't mean others should take it for granted in their home state. I simply try to be realistic instead of overly pessimistic. You might be having a bad week, but I don't think it's because of...
