Sadly, the DSM engineers didn’t take enough time to study the effects of all this performance on the engine, whose #1 cylinder main bearing would devour itself within 60-75,000 miles.

Wtf ?

Why would anyone try to make such a ridiculous, specific claim? Say something about the bearings being undersized which leads to problems in higher mileage engines... Or perhaps point out the synchronizer issues... Maybe even discuss crank flexing that can lead to damage of the inner mains (#2 and #3) at higher power levels... but the #1 main bearing? Huh?

I said the same thing.

lol @ magnetic shocks and ride height adjustment on top. Someone should write him a note reminding him that he's not going to get anywhere with that no research attitude unless he gets a job at FOX news or something...

Thanks, after I saw the #1 main bearing thing, my eyes crossed and I couldn't even think about the shocks and adjustable ride height... lol
