Fast World Problems

10/16/2026

I’ve built some pretty fast cars over the years. I’ve broken engines, chased horsepower, and spent countless hours in the garage.

But none of that compares to trying to be a good husband and dad.

Building cars is something I love. Being there for my wife and kids is something that matters a whole lot more.

And finding the balance between those two things? I’m still figuring that out.

I don’t think you have to give up the things you’re passionate about when you have a family. But you do have to remember what comes first.

The cars will always be there. These years with my kids won’t.

Any other car guys out there trying to find that balance?

Here’s something nobody warns you about when you start making serious horsepower…

Eventually, people stop wanting to race you. 😂

When my Trackhawk was slower, finding a good race was easy. There were plenty of cars that could give me a run for my money.

Then it started running 9s.

And suddenly, finding somebody willing to line up got a whole lot harder.

Don’t get me wrong. I love having a ridiculously fast SUV.

But some of the most fun I’ve had racing wasn’t when I had the fastest car. It was when the competition was close.

Would you rather have the fastest car at the event or a car that always gets good races?

I actually found my favorite version of the Trackhawk.

Around 900–950 horsepower. Fast enough to be absolutely ridiculous, but still a blast to drive and race.

Then a crankshaft/lower-pulley pin failure destroyed the engine.

So naturally, I did the reasonable thing…

Built a 411-cubic-inch engine and started chasing even more horsepower. 🤡

Now we’re over 1,000 WHP, trying to get the reliability where I want it, and still chasing that next milestone.

Do I miss the old setup? Absolutely.

Would I go back? That’s a harder question.

Sometimes the next chapter of a build isn’t the one you planned.

My Evo eventually made around 670 WHP and ran low 10s in the quarter-mile.

And for once, I actually knew when to stop. 😂

I’d already taken that car from around 400–450 WHP through several different turbo setups, many of which were hand-me-downs from my Subaru.

But eventually, I started running into the limits of what my 2.4L engine combination wanted to tolerate.

Could I have built another engine and made more power? Absolutely.

Did I want to start that whole process again? Not really.

After everything I’d been through with the Subaru, I finally recognized that the next 100 horsepower wasn’t necessarily worth the time, money, and mechanical headaches.

Sometimes the smartest decision is knowing when you’ve gone far enough.

What’s the horsepower sweet spot for your build?

I spent 12 years building my Subaru WRX to nearly 800 wheel horsepower.

And one of the biggest things I learned had nothing to do with making more power.

It’s about knowing what you actually want out of a car before you start throwing parts at it.

That’s something I’m trying to apply to the C**t and the Durango Hellcat today.

Don’t get me wrong. I still love ridiculous horsepower. 😂

But there’s a difference between building something that’s impressive and building something you genuinely enjoy owning.

The goal isn’t always to make the most horsepower. It’s to build the right car for what you want to do with it.

Have you ever built a car past the point where you enjoyed it most?

I found something in my old Subaru footage that hit me harder than I expected.

April 2018. I’d just broken my THIRD axle in a row trying to drag race my Subaru WRX.

I was frustrated, tired of fixing the same s**t, and questioning why I kept doing this to myself.

Then I said something that pretty much explains the last 25 years of my life.

“I’m gonna keep doing it ’cause I love it.”

And right after that?

“F**king fast world problems, man.”

I don’t know if that’s the first time I ever said Fast World Problems on camera, but it’s the earliest recording I’ve found.

Eight years later, I’m still building cars, still breaking things, and still chasing horsepower.

Some things never change. 😂

Can you actually make your car TOO FAST to have fun? 🤔

I’ve done it more than once.

My Subaru went from 300 horsepower to nearly 800. My Evo eventually ran low 10s. And my Trackhawk went from running consistent 10.7s to running 9s and chasing an 8-second pass.

And every time, I noticed the same thing.

The faster the car got, the fewer good races I could find.

Don’t get me wrong. I still LOVE building ridiculously fast cars, and I’m not giving up on chasing that Trackhawk record.

But there’s a sweet spot where your car is fast enough to surprise people and still has plenty of competition.

Sometimes chasing more horsepower means trading one kind of fun for another.

Have you ever built your car past its sweet spot? 👇

If I could build my old Subaru again, I wouldn’t build the 800-horsepower version.

And honestly, I wouldn’t build the old 300-horsepower version either.

With today’s technology, I’d probably aim for 400–450 horsepower.

Enough to be genuinely fast, but still reliable, fun to drive, and easy to enjoy.

Because looking back, what I miss most about that Subaru wasn’t the horsepower.

It was driving it everywhere, finding good races, and spending more time enjoying the car than fixing it.

The almost 800-horsepower version was absolutely incredible. But somewhere along the way, I built past the version I loved most.

Sometimes the best version of your car isn’t the fastest one.

What horsepower would you build your ideal street car to make?
