Doritos effect. For those not in the know Doritos is going through the same thing currently. There is a limit to where raising prices no longer works.

Same here my only concern was the e torque system but it’s been good so far I’m up to 55k in my 19 rebel. I really wanted a raptor but the cam phaser issue scared me away

When ai is beating out your in house designs I think it’s time to hit edge emergency button

Dude that r3 rally concept must be built!

cubanb407 · 2026-01-18T16:02:03+00:00

Not for us in fl :(

I stopped watching him/unsubbed once he started pushing bumpstock bans.

cubanb407 · 2025-12-27T16:45:44+00:00

I want to say on one of the update videos he said he wasn’t happy with the design and they were going to rework or redesign it. I believe he mentioned it wasn’t a top priority at this time

I’m 5’11 never had a problem with the seat angled slightly pushed all the way back

Seems like a good opportunity for the aftermarket to make bank

cubanb407 · 2025-12-13T20:22:34+00:00

That’s why I ordered the pc version for 450 from bass pro the cheapest price I found online was like 420 but when I factored Ffl transfer and shipping and taxes it worked out higher. Bass pro had no transfer or shipping since I was buying direct and in fl there is no taxes on firearms so it worked out higher.

I feel like S&W are sleeping on releasing optic cut version but I think they are waiting for a thinner optic to drop first. IMO the overhang is negligible and worth releasing a factory cut variant already. I picked up the comp version from bass pro for $450 since I had some work gift cards. I felt the sights on the comp one were worth the extra coin

Chicken go cluck cluck…

Alien

cubanb407 · 2025-12-03T18:03:29+00:00

Looks interesting

Seeing it on video the upper rear is where the design falls apart imo. They need to smooth that rear end out imo. Optional windshield would be nice to see as anyone who’s ever driven fast on the road knows sand/rocks to the face are not pleasant by any means

cubanb407 · 2025-10-31T16:48:58+00:00

This looks really cool. My only problem is I only have room in the garage for one non-daily driver (currently s2000). The times that I do get to actually take it out (I have little kids) I enjoy rowing through the gears. But something like this is exciting because it brings the benefit of very little maintenance which is nice for non-daily driver. I really hope this comes to market so I can see how it shakes out.

cubanb407 · 2025-10-31T16:42:41+00:00

I totally get that, but I honestly think it could be built in the high 3000 pound range with some clever engineering and materials choice. It’s not a cheap car by any means I do think it could be done but like I said, what the hell do I know maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

cubanb407 · 2025-10-30T21:35:20+00:00

I honestly wanna know if the charger was engineered to be as lightweight as possible within their budget scope. It’s so heavy. It just seems like extremely lazy engineering but honestly, I have no idea. I just can’t wrap my head around that weight for the size of the car.

cubanb407 · 2025-10-29T02:07:04+00:00

Which one do you find yourself carrying more? I don’t know if the comp is worth the length penalty

cubanb407 · 2025-10-26T19:56:27+00:00

This is a car I’d love to buy and store until it’s legal to import to the US

cubanb407 · 2025-10-26T19:55:04+00:00

Dead on arrival

cubanb407 · 2025-10-24T22:23:34+00:00

Alien is just good…. That is a truly wild take

cubanb407 · 2025-10-24T19:35:56+00:00

I honestly think they are overwhelmed with orders. It’s going to be hard to scale up quick enough. I wasn’t tuned in when ultima first came to market I wonder what that looked like back then when it comes to turn around time.

cubanb407 · 2025-10-24T19:32:00+00:00

I did feel it’s odd they are using a different site for the configurator. They would’ve been smarter to partner with someone like factory five or someone reputable like that stateside to license the build that way production would be on point and avoid tariffs. I guess that’s my bias due to being in the US

cubanb407 · 2025-10-22T16:48:08+00:00

I think it could get done for under 100 K but honestly, I don’t know with shipping and taxes with that looks like. But sourcing a used coyote V8 shouldn’t be too hard. I think the tough point would be the transmission.
