What's the appeal of high revving engines, i.e 8000 and above?
From what I understand, you have to stress the engine higher to get power so in high revving cars, they will feel like shit on regular roads. And when you say, "the point is to track them" , then why make road cars like that?

I live in rural IL and I bought a car with a manual transmission in Chicago as my first adult decision. I had no idea how to drive a manual so I learned in the middle of Chicago traffic. Then I got it home and as soon as I got into my neighborhood the fuel pump, mass airflow sensor, and starter motor simultaneously so I got to spend the weekend figuring out how to fix the thing.
The car gods slowly eased me into it by fucking shit up basically.

Sup /o/?

Recent, now Ex-gf just wreaked my 2015 Challenger. Mostly front end damage and the radiator, air bags deployed also. Insurance isn't going to cover the damage. Need advice from other mechanics on an appraisal for repair.

I'm paying out of pocket, so it's going to hurt, but I have a few grand saved up. How screwed am I /o/?

Pic related, it's my challenger.
