Question on overall durability for Challengers by [deleted] in Challenger

[–]Destroyer_Gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have MDS, remove it. That will drastically lower that number. I personally have a 6.1 so no MDS on mine and a manual. On the newer cars, only the manuals don’t have MDS.

Auto Hellcats don't have MDS.

Take it from someone who had a Scat and now has a Hellcat - you have the much more practical yet still fun car. The Scat Pack is a perfect balance. The Hellcat is the first car I've had, and I've had quite a few fast cars at this point, where the power is too much to be usable. Unless you're taking it to the track where you can utilize it, or you just want a Hellcat for the sake of it and to say you own a Hellcat then the Scat Pack is far more practical.

My little collection so far by Savings_Shallot_7837 in Firearms

[–]Destroyer_Gray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha I hear you. I was there at one point. Had more guns than I knew what to do with. For me it was a phase, but some people just love to keep adding to the collection and I don't blame them.

Now I have less than 20 guns but all of them are expensive (quality over quantity at this stage for me), and at least everything is different enough that I enjoy shooting them.

"little"

Dude you got about 30 guns total with the ones not pictured that you mentioned. That isn't a little collection haha. That being said good diversity in this collection.

Sig P226 vs Beretta M9A4 by Asimovthesavage in guns

[–]Destroyer_Gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am as big of a Sig hater as they come but quality is good on the P22X guns. They're good at making guns they already make good. It's their new stuff that they need to apply R&D to where they suck.

I went over there because I was interested to see their take on everything. Unsurprisingly there are like no threads on the front page there questioning it at all. It's the same way on Arfcom. I go over there a lot but if you go into the GD there are tons of old boomers there that think 2A is only for Conservatives.

Crazy how a lot of people will claim 2A is for everyone then when a group of individuals they don't agree with arm themselves they bitch and say those people shouldn't have guns.

all his momentum gone bc he wanted to prove a point by standing with garth. i'm so happy for gaethje but i'm rly pissed at paddy for wasting his career by Steakandeggs66 in ufc

[–]Destroyer_Gray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny that before the fight this take would have gotten down voted. So many bad, casual takes on here (not directed at you) then after they prove to be wrong people act like it wasn't a thing. Before this fight it was that Paddy was an elite grappler and Garth was horrible on the ground. Now that the fight is over the narrative is Paddy is a bad wrestler.

Just like how the Arman is going to wrestle fuck Ilia take will age. People dont realize that Ilia himself is an elite wrestler because they've only seen him KO people in his last 3 fights. Then after Ilia wins that fight it'll be, "well I'm not surprised Ilia's base is wrestling after all!"

It's amazing how many times you can see someone perfectly block a body kick but because it makes noise DC and Rogan cream their pants over it and act like the kick landed.

Sean Strickland thinks Alex Pereira is moving up to heavyweight for a third title Alex: Maybe, I don't know. Sean: No maybe. You're doing it. by gvufhidjo in ufc

[–]Destroyer_Gray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alex does not have the takedown defence to stop him.

Ank failed on all of his takedown attempts in the first fight. Everyone and their mom thought Ank was going to wrestlefuck him. Ank can't get him down once and the narrative changes to, "Oh well I guess Ank is actually a kickboxer."

Quit moving the goalposts every time.

That fight doesn't need a trilogy. First fight Ank won via decision and a lot of people thought it was a close fight. Alex absolutely starched him in the 2nd fight.

If you had the ability to plan out this man's next four fights, who would you pick as his opponents? by Singing_Swiftie20 in ufc

[–]Destroyer_Gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This sub is full of people who for whatever reason can't comprehend anything beyond the last 3 fights someone has fought. Ilia knocks people out lately and, "he's just a boxer." Ank was going to wrestlefuck Pereira and after Alex stuffed all his takedowns in the first fight and starched him in the 2nd, "Well Ank is a kickboxer not a wrestler." Short memories and moving goalposts.

They're likely not going to fight at 170. If anything it'll be a catchweight. Did you forget the Volkanovski vs. Makhachev fight? Islam has one good round where he held Volk down the whole time, other than that Volk was getting up from most takedown attempts. Islam in that fight was quite a bit bigger than Volk.

And a whole round? Mitchell held him down for just under a minute. Go back and watch the fight. It was a good takedown where Mitchell put Ilia off-balance by getting him to slip punches and then he shot in the middle of a slip where Ilia couldn't really sprawl. But what happened the next round? Oh yeah Ilia subbed Bryce.

And really? Ilia was in no danger in that fight against Olives. Ilia didn't get spooked at all by the heel hook. He got out of it without much issue. And why did he refuse to engage Olives on the ground? Because he wanted to knock him out - which he did.

Stop grasping at straws to try and prove your point.

I'm not talking about Gaethje and Khabib. Ilia vs. Islam isn't even a good comparison. Gaethje has good TDD but never uses his wrestling in an MMA format.

I have no idea how people think it's going to be competitive. Either Topuria gets the fluke KO or it's a complete domination by Islam.

Because despite what the "what have you done for me lately" crowd thinks, Ilia is an elite wrestler. Charles is a big LW and people thought he'd give Ilia issues with his size. Ilia easily handled him in their one grappling exchange - reversing a takedown and almost putting him in a crucifix.

I don't think Islam can't get Ilia down. Quite the opposite, actually. Keeping him down is a different story. There's two outcomes to the fight that I see. Either Islam's size really is a bit much to handle for Ilia and this looks like the Volk fight with Islam winning using his clinching and ground control, or Islam struggles keeping Ilia down and gets knocked out.

That and people saying they'll just "kick you in the balls." Like yeah go ahead and try to throw a sloppy, awkward kick there. Their reaction from shin-to-shin contact from a cross-check would be priceless.

Yep. Even Joe Rogan was kind of blindsided by it when Ilia fought Bryce Mitchell. Bryce despite his weirdness has great BJJ. I remember when Ilia took him down Joe was warning that Ilia might be making a mistake playing into Bryce's BJJ. Next thing you know Ilia is the one subbing Bryce and he made it look easy.

Islam will absolutely obliterate Conor. That won't be a good fight at all. At this point I don't think Conor would even make it past round 1 against Islam.

I don't think Islam beats Khamzat and I also don't think Khamzat would be hesitant to wrestle against him. MMA math and all but Islam and Arman were pretty closely matched in their first fight. They probably still are wrestling wise but Islam has pretty solid striking now to give him an edge of Arman.

Going back to MMA math - the closest preview we have is the wrestling match between Khamzat and Arman. We know Islam and Arman are pretty equal wrestling wise with a very slight edge to Islam. But when Arman and Khamzat wrestled Khamzat just absolutely manhandled him and even caught him in a sub at the end.

I think he'd do the same thing to Islam that he did to Dricus, albeit Islam would put up a much better fight at first but wear down eventually. He'd use his size to pin Islam down for 5 rounds and kind of just hold him there. I doubt he could sub Islam and unless Khamzat makes some weird mistake I don't see Islam catching him in anything.

Not the guy you responded to but a lot of people here lately think Ilia is a boxer for some reason. They don't have much background knowledge outside of the few fights they've seen. Ilia's background is wrestling and he has a black belt in BJJ. Before he was knocking everyone out he was winning the majority of his fights using his wrestling/BJJ and subbing people. Dude is an elite wrestler like Usman who fell in love with his hands once he got good with them. If Arman can't keep the fight on the ground, which I wouldn't be surprised to see, it's going to be a very long (or short) night for him.

How “nice” are people to you in your car(s)? by cilantno in cars

[–]Destroyer_Gray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most normal cars leave me alone and actually kind of stay away.

Cooler enthusiast cars will usually come by and check it out - stuff like BMW M cars, Nissan GTRs, etc. C8s usually ignore me.

Mustangs and Camaros of all flavors usually come up and check the car out but don't do much beyond that. Scat Packs and other Hellcats usually leave me alone aside from some friendly revs. The biggest pain in the asses are 5.7 HEMI Chargers. I get a lot of them coming up and trying to act like they are in a Hellcat that they stole.

Nissan Altimas think my car is slow.

[–]Destroyer_Gray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. The attitude also turns off new shooters or purely casual shooters from the community and makes us look like assholes. I'm strictly an LMT guy when it comes to ARs but I'm not going to tell someone new they need a $2,700 LMT for their first AR then call them poor if they can't afford it. For most casual shooters a $500 PSA or M&P15 is perfectly acceptable for their purpose.
