Joe Rogan and Dale Earnhardt Jr: Horsepower Wars

Do you have apprehension about the horsepower wars with just modern consumer cars? Because I look at some of these cars that they're putting out that are amazing like the new Corvette ZR1 right 700 plus horsepower right from the factory the Dodge Demons like 800 horsepower like they're putting out these insane race cars yeah right from the factory that any dummy like me I could just go to if I have the cash I go to a Corvette dealership and pick one up and all of a sudden I'm on the highway yeah yeah I don't I don't have a problem with it now until it becomes a common occurrence where people don't know how to control it you know or don't know how to manage what they're doing behind the wheel something like that but until until that's like a common issue I don't know that it'll need regulation yeah yeah I don't necessarily think I wouldn't be surprised though that one day it may be you know regulated because everything gets you know governed it's alright yeah maybe too much right maybe we should just appreciate that you can do that I know I mean I want to be able to build whatever I want to build right you know right yeah if I want that in production ought to be able to produce whatever they want I agree but I feel like I feel it the same way I feel about guns like I'm very pro second amendment I feel like I am a responsible gun owner I have a lot of friends that are responsible gun owners I've used guns for hunting I think you should have a gun for protection I don't think there's anything wrong with that but I don't think it would be a bad idea to have some sort of course that you have to go through so you understand all the aspects of safety and precautions that you should take and how to correctly load a gun and clean a gun absolutely yeah and that but this is not really the case right now you know and it's not necessary I'm not talking about gun control as much as I'm talking about gun safety and gun responsibility I feel like the same way about a car yeah I feel like if you're going to go out and buy a Corvette ZR1 I mean the kind of body mashing acceleration the g-forces you can get from something like that right from the factory zero to 16 under three seconds that's an insane automobile like maybe someone should like take you around a track a little bit that's a great idea I guess that would be the case if you were going to buy something like that or get in the car like that you would need some kind of a trainer course that you would have to pass around three hours on a track if you're if you have to have a particular license to drive 18 wheelers down the interstate you know there should be a style or type of license that you need to achieve to have a certain type of yeah you know you want to go buy a viper ACR and take it on the road those crazy race car vipers you could just drive you should probably know how to drive especially the vipers yeah those things are a little bit of a handful yeah they're a little tail happy they're pretty tail happy they're so crazy too that the race car one with all the vents and all the arrow all around it that was just an insane thing that you could just go buy that and take that on the road oh yeah giant ass v10 in it it's pretty crazy it's awesome yeah
