Daven Automotive Thread
Welcome to Daven Automotive
A little back story on the company........ yes I made this to give it a back story: Daven Automotive got it's start in 1938 after Rodger Daven came up with a concept for a new cheap car during the war. After two years of what he called hell, he finally succeeded in late 1939 and named it the Python. The car was a 4 door RWD setup with an I4 SOHC 3VPC making 108 HP @4000 RPM and was released on Febuaray 17th, 1940 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The car was a success due to it's light weight, affordability, and amazing gas milage in those times. The Python was to continue for 11 years before discontinuing 1 year right before Rodger's death. The only other car released under Rodger's leadership was the Apsure in 1942 Which wasn't as successful. Events transpire through the years and Daven managed to stay afloat til 1962 when performance cars started taking over. Edgar Rockfire. (Rodger's son) Improvised a new idea and hired a select team of people who had very good knowledge in cars and formed the Daven Race Team. The purpose of D.R.T. was to make race and performance cars and de-tune race cars for street use. This quick idea turned into Daven's best idea in the 60s and has lead them through to even today still making high end HP cars. As of today in 2015, Daven Automotive is now ran by Andrew Cook and is still holding Daven traditions to this day.
So to start the first upload, I might as well start with the H3000 Spot trim. It's 2008 and I thought that it was time for a good high HP 2 door that actually has some economy. Daven is pretty high tech and has good friends so getting our hands on a DFI system is quite hard so thats what we went with. The engine is a DOHC 24v AlSi block and head with a TPC DFI system running 11.0:1 compression. Horsepower is 417 @7200 RPM while torque runs at 325F ft-lb @4800 RPM. The H3000 sprints to 62MPH (100KPH) in under 5 seconds and if you got the balls, she'll run right up to 190 MPH with the bonus of 34 MPG with a 6 speed manual. Weighing in at just under 3000lb it is a fine machine. Does the Top Gear Test Track in 1.25.33
