    @@Brandizzleizzle there is certainly a limit to it dictated by what the human body can handle but inevitably almost no matter how much power you have you will eventually become accustomed to if. 350 HP in a small car feels very fast going from dailying say a Prius, but that 350 feels like a Prius to someone who daily drives a Hellcat, and the Hellcat can even feel like a Prius to some of the crazy drag racer guys. I remember seeing a video discussing how astronauts react to launching, and the one point that really stuck out to me was how they’d become so used to the acceleration and G-Force that despite feeling like they weigh over 3 times their normal weight, their heart rate doesn’t even increase at all during launch. If someone can become accustomed to literally accelerating off the earth, then they will inevitably become used to even the fastest cars men can build

    Solid move! I prefer to see more built vehicles like Cleetus building a viper, audi or lambo manual for instance. But in this case right into the freedom factory which is an absolute investment and it will pay off! Keep up the good work and bringing us viewers more content! Hell yeah brother 👍

    Should have JR up the HPon the fire truck, straight pipe it, and bit not least tune/ add a shift kit to the Allison transmission. You should be able to adjust shift points and adjust the TQ lock up to where use can use all that torque to get up to speed. If it has a 15liter engine you should be able to get 625+ hp and 2,000+ torque at the crank pretty easily.

    As soon as he said $30k profit I was like duh I'd sell it too lol. It may have appreciated right now but once everyone has one they'll depreciate just as bad as the last vette
