Exceeding Weight Limit?

At ZDayZ earlier this year there were some 370s with over 450lbs combined passenger/cargo weight blasting through the Dragon/Hellbender without issue. The car will do fine. Obviously it won't drive

At ZDayZ earlier this year there were some 370s with over 450lbs combined passenger/cargo weight blasting through the Dragon/Hellbender without issue. The car will do fine. Obviously it won't drive like it will with just a 145lb driver in the car, so take your time to feel it out with the added weight, but in general there won't be any trouble.

Hell, we took a 5,000 lb Maxima out on the Dragon for a spirited run and it did fine!

Yep. Not quite 5,000 lbs. We figure 4,700 as a rough estimate. It was a fun run. Dynamic Distribution Control FTW!

If you want to feel what it's like to drive a rear engine car (Porsche), just drop me and/or Shado in your trunk, it'll make your 'stang handle like a 911.

Having driven a couple I know the big difference between the real 911 and the simulated 5.0 911 is that there is no inappropriate touching involved when driving a real one.

Yeah it really it is, I noticed that he traded the 10 in for an 11 SV sport in his signature.
