Vehicle enhancements may be the worst investment of ones money that one can make. Depreciation is increadable and resale is usually 1/4 of original cost.
Yes, there are exceptions....but If you take all "enhancements" and average them out the exceptions are lowerer than the lotto.
Drive a sensable vehicle and invest. Retire at 50 and laugh at the others who have to eat at Taco Bell because they spent too much money on thier cars.

Very true blazer, but I guess we all go through phases...
Looking back over the last 10 years, the amount of money I have spent on cars is absurd, downright ridiculous...but I had fun and do not regret it one bit.
Nothing like having your neck snap back with a tap of the gas pedal...
That 700 HP they are claiming seems like a bit much. At least, that 12.38 1/4 mile time seems a little slow. That is a VERY large amount of HP. Got to question whether or not all 700 is finding its way to the pavement. That motor would really be nice in a smaller car.

Stuman, I would agree that its fair to say that the 700 hp claim is CRANK HORSEPOWER and not rear wheel horsepower...also @ 12.38 ET I would agree that the run was without slicks, but one has to remember the weight of the truck, indeed it is heavy...
ET= HOOK
MPH= POWER
My car for example on a drag radial consistently does high 11's low 12's, on slicks high 10s is the norm...but MPH was always high 120s low 130s.... traction is indeed crucial to a low ET.
What makes me happy though is that my car is a daily driver emissions legal automobile.
