Hey, /o/. I just picked up pic related and its got a stock 5.3 in it. I really like it, but I've noticed that it's a lot quieter than my old 4.8 was. I'm not an expert on these things, but is there anything I can do/replace to make the 5.3 have the same satisfying startup and low rumble idle that a stock 4.8 does?
Thanks, lads.

Your 4.8 may have had an exhaust leak, hole in the muffler or something. My 4.8 was dead quiet.
Welp /o/, today I broke my ticket cherry
I received a ticket for an expired registration sticker (USD 35 dollar fine).
See pic related
Facts:
>Registration expired at the end of July
>I renewed it the day before at the DMV (as I received the new documents)
>I did not remove the old sticker and place the new one on (because my inspection sticker is due at the end of August and I usually have both put on at the same time)
>I ride around with the sticker in my car in case I ever got questioned
I admit I'm a dumbass for not putting the new sticker on (which I promptly did today).
That said, I'm looking for the best advice on how to deal with this ticket. Do I plead not guilty and go to a hearing? Ultimately while I won't like paying the fine, I don't want my car insurance to go up. Also, I'd rather not start a record as I've never gotten a ticket before.
I'm thinking I'll go into the parking violations bureau on Monday with the ticket and my current registration and saying "I was written a ticket for expired registration, but as you can see I did infact renew it". At that point I'm hoping they will void but if not then pleading not guilty and going to a hearing.
>hurrr why didn't you put the sticker on as soon as you got it
Valid question and ultimately I was an idiot. I think I'll say "It wasn't on there but I've since resolved it."
Please advise, thank you

Should be able to show your renewed tag registration, and get out of it.
>>17740535
This.
You're a fucking retard for not just putting the sticker on tho.
>>17740535
thanks, im hoping that will be good enough.
>>17740550
yeah i admit i am a complete moron for not doing it, lesson learned the hard way
>car ahead of you flicks an amber cigarette out the window and it land on your hood damaging the paint
>>17740431
That wont fuck your paint up.
It is fucking annoying and trashy as fuck, especially during the middle of summer when its dry there are fucking black patches down the highway where cunts have thrown their shit out the window and caught the grass on fire.
They honestly should outlaw smoking and only allow vaping.
>>17740447
it can burn off the clearcoat if it sits on there long enough
>>17740431
Stop driving a Mazda.... Get a car with better paint.

Realistically with it being "last viper" would it have some crazy boosted value?
>>17740282
Yes so Dodge is keeping it for the heritage museum.
That yellow one in front is the last one sold to the public, but the red one is the last one produced.

What are your thoughts on the F-Type?
ok
It's ok, a lot of other cars I would rather have
>jag reliability
>no manual beyond base supercharged V6
>V8 models are awd only and handle worse since the f-type wasn't designed with a V8 in mind

Where do you buy oil and filters from? I have amazon prime so I usually get everything from there but I'm not sure if the prices are better at local auto stores.
Walmart. Same prices or a bit cheaper comparing to amazon, but I don't wait for shipping
My local mechanic charges $7.50 a quart for Amsoil full synthetic, and after installation it's usually about 90 bucks, including a new filter. Pretty good deal considering ordering Amsoil online is like $13 a quart. My truck takes 7.3 quarts.

walmart or i check to see if any of the auto parts stores are having a sale when i drive by them
In terms of technology, how does Top Fuel compare to F1 and WRC?
>11000HP out of 8L
>320MPH+ in only 1000ft
>>17731058
Technology? Not even fucking close.
>>17731058
>requires full rebuild in only 1000ft
>>17731058
>engine is fucked short after start
Formula 1 engines have to last multiple races
>NO cornering
Formula 1 cars have enough downforce to drive on the ceiling
>can´t rev
Formula 1 revs to the moon and back, they had to limit the rpms to keep manufacturers from going crazy.
They are limited to 15.000rpm for that reason.
KERS is also used.
Also these engines are actualy verry efficient, they finnish each race with only 105kg of fuel...
F1 is about 50 years ahead of Top Fuel.

Go for it, if you don't care that it's slow and have backup transport as well as 1k ready for repairs at any given time.
You will need it.
