Car Vehicle Tire Wheel Sky


As we all wait for more news about the Daytona I'm curious about what everyone's currently driving. Are you a Mopar fan? (like me). Do you drive an EV? Do you drive something completely different? Share your vehicle(s) here.

For me I'm currently driving a 2015 Charger R/T and it's been my pride and joy the past couple of years. But I'm excited for what the electric future has to offer.

I haven't had an opportunity to drive an i3. They seem to be an underrated EV.

The R/T Charger AWD is a great one to have in your fleet. I'm with you I'm surprised they weren't more popular.

I'm not too familiar with the Lingenfelter Corvette. What kind of changes did they do to it?

On the 'vette...Cam, Heads, Intake manifold and shorty headers. Makes 400 / 400 at the wheels, weighs 3200 lbs. 6 speed with a Hurst short-throw shifter.

The i3 chassis was done by the guy that did the original BMW-era MINI, but it's rear drive, lighter and has way more torque than a Cooper S. Not a great car on the top end, but for quite a while it was BMW's quickest car from 0-30 MPH, which was perfect for in the cities that it was designed for. The "s" version is lowered, has a wider track, better brakes, and a "sport" mode that tightens up the steering and generates a bit more torque (about 8%). All carbon fiber chassis and passenger cell. This is our second...the first one get totaled when a deer arrived OUT OF THE SKY from above in front of my wife at about 65 MPH...that destroyed the windshield, but the rest of the car shrugged it off.

Hoping my wife lets me replace the Spark with the Daytona. Also hoping that the Spark doesn't die before the Daytona comes out, there's a reason it was the cheapest new car you could buy for years lol...

I read that the Spark EV made 400 lb-ft of torque, which would be CRAZY for that small a car.

Awesome fleet! If you would like I can take pictures of them all. Are you in Texas?

The i3 remains the best premium small EV out there. Hard to argue against. Just be prepared to pay proper money.

Totally worth finding an i3s to drive if you can. The i3 is a good car, and the i3s is dynamically even better.

Makes me wonder if I could swap in a Tesla Model S motor. Might not have much range but it would be an autocross ANIMAL!
